I think the people who are advising you to join school clubs might be right. Most of the clubs do their recruiting either at the beginning or the end of the semester. See if there are any clubs that are doing anything that you might remotely be interested in. If you know someone who's in a club, asking about the club's activities might be a way to start a friendly conversation. \n\nThere are also the usual extra-curricular activities and sports available. When I went off to school, I joined the band and enjoyed it...I got good at it, and ended up going to college for free on music scholarships, so getting involved in an activity can actually be beneficial in more ways than you initially realize. \n\nIf there are any opportunities to volunteer around the school, do so. I still use this tactic from time to time when I'm in a new situation and need to meet people. While doing the volunteer activity, you can make small talk with whoever's standing next to you, even if it's something goofy like, "Hey, I like that shirt you're wearing." (However, clothing compliments can only go so far if you're at a school that uses uniforms). \n\nThe only real answer is to get involved. Even if you're shy at first, you must get involved. If all else fails, just admit to a teacher that you're having a bit of a hard time adjusting socially. They'll usually be glad to help you hook up with some kind of activity.

You shouldnt be scared but its okay that you are.  i would be scared too.  Just keep in mind that you are still yourself and that eventually you will meet people.  Dont change yourself to get friends.  Also, when people meet you and see that you are new they might try to suck you in.  Dont get lost in the wrong crowd.  My friend was new to the school and he simply just acted like he wa sthere all long and made new friends the first day that he came.  but we arent all like that.  So good luck.

baby girl, take a small step. first have some interaction with strangers. like go to the gym or join a social event. the more you talk to strangers and get to know them, the easier you'll feel of talking. but don't join the popular group @ school or trying to be one. that's just not being true to yourself. the key is to build up your self-confident; that's all really matter to you. right?

hey! you sound nice. I suggest that you just smile a lot at school. People are attracted to smilers! Also, try to do nice things for people. Remember their birthdays, share stuff with them. Keep on being nice! Hopefully that works for ya!

It's a horrible feeling to think nobody cares but I garuntee you there is lots of people who do care and you don't realise it.  As for school, don't worry about them it might seem like a long way away now but believe me before you know it you will be out of school in the real world with real people who have more important things to do than bully somebody, and you will meet people who accept and like you for who you are.  Chin up!!!!

1.  Decide who you'd like to be friends with (I.E. popular people, gothics, jocks, etc)\n2. At lunchtime, ask if you can sit at their table, in an empty seat. If there isn't an empty seat, or they say no, sit at another table near them.\n3. Some cliques cannot be infiltrated fast. Some can be infiltrated easily. Pick one!\n4. If this all fails, start to dress like them, and say hello in the hallway.\n5. If that fails, throw a party and invite everyone at your school. Then you'll have an exuse to talk to everybody you want to be friends with.\n6. If EVERYTHING fails, be friends with people who really want to be friends with you. They might be more fun than you thought. \n\n* Be nice. No one likes a complete snob. Until you get the ins with the group you want to be a member of, its important not to offend anyone.\n* Try making friends with people in one of your classes that are the member of your chosen clique first. It's a lot easier to ask someone for the math homework than to randomly strike up a conversation in the hallway. This could give you the access point you need to get in to the group. \n\n* This isn't TOTALLY foolproof. Deal.

You just need to have patince. Joining a college club may help but that doesn't agrantee that youl meet good friends there. Good friends you usually meet when you dont expect it. When you go to school go with a big great smile and say hello to everybody. And im sure someone wil come and to you. I dont have allot of friends but the one i have are good ones. Im studying in another country and in teh almost 2 year that im here i only made 1 good friend. Friends you can have allot but good friends are hard to make. So just take it easy. Better go slow now, so you dont get hurt later. Choose wisely. You don't want someone who wil betray you later. \nIf you want we can be online friends. if your interested look me up nice_dutch123@yahoo.com

I also go through the same thing. Actually, I asked a question like this not long ago. I think that it is boredom, loneliness, maybe ADD. Find something that keeps you busy. Even if you don't feel like it, get more involved in things going on at your school. Find community projects, get a part-time job, just get out and meet a lot of people. I did the same thing as you, I started school away from home, and after one semester, I went back home. It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life, and now it has been 4 years since I left school. Please stay in school. If you keep thinking that this "new thing" is going to be perfect and the solution to all your problems, you will be let down. Just take things day-by-day, find something different to do everyday.

Going to Freshman Orientation, it is usually fun & informative, and you can make a lot of friends for when you arrive to school.\n\nFinding a job on campus, or near campus is helpful.\n\nI suppose drinking a six or twelve pack every night might help as well.

Just hang on there 4 a while, im sure you will find that certain person soon. r there any new kids at your school? try talking 2 them. lots of people make friends like that. and if ther arent any new kids at your school, r there any people who don't have any friends at all? talk 2 them. and if that doesn't work, try talkin 2 a neighbor, if u have 1 ur age.

Being the new girl is really hard, especially when you've been hurt by friends at school. Remind yourself that it takes a friendly attitude to make friends and that not all people are out to hurt you! Instead of striving to be popular, be yourself instead! If you want to meet friends, join after school activities or clubs that spark your interests. Good luck!

Get involved in some sort of club or committee in your school.  Volunteer in a clothes drive or something.  You are gauranteed to meet some friends that way.

Approach one of the girls in your class and just ask her if she would like to go get some coffee or whatever, tell her you are new in town and don't really know anyone so you would just like to meet some people. It's hard to be in a new place and not know anyone but just talking to one person can introduce you to three or four more! Good luck.
