How can you make friends in high school?

[Amber]

So I'm going to high school next month and my high school is really big so I'm really nervous about not having any friends. Can anyone give some tips about how to make friends in a really big high school?

Join a club or a sport, talk to people

high school is just like middle school, but maybe a bit more intense. just stay calm and maybe some of your friends in your older school may come to your high school.

SO AM I!!I guuess you could say hi to people in your class. Lunch: ask to sit beside them


Also, join clubs, u will meet friends!

Join clubs! You'll meet a lot of upperclassmen and freshman in clubs! And just be yourself! Don't try to act cool and do things you wouldn't do in front of your parents. There are gonna be a lot of people like you in classes that don't know many people, so be friends with them! And please choose wisely. Don't be friends with the druggies and party people. Choose the friends that you can trust and count on to keep you on track with studies. High school is a fun place to meet new people and where you can start making lifelong friends! Don't change who you really are for other people and they'll accept you! Good luck!! xx

1. Stay friends with as many of your middle school friends as possible.
2. Join clubs you enjoy and you are sure to find friends with common interests.
3. Observe other people and see whose conversations and demeanors seem most relatable to you; work with these people in class projects to see how they really are.
4. Sit with interesting people at lunch.
5. Make friends with your new or old friends' friends!
These strategies have worked for me! Good luck!

The more people the more likely you are to make friends

[Alex]

Act friendly, offer help when needed, anything that makes you stand out in a good way. Make sure you are finding positive friends because negative friends will make your high school life hell.

I'm starting high school too. Don't worry about its high school so making friends should be fairly easy. Just be yourself and don't be the typical freshman stereotype. Ways to avoid that would be not running around chasing friends or saying dumb things, just be cool and relax. Also don't let anyone punk you, so don't be too nice and stand up for yourself when someone is bullying you people like confidence and make them want to be friends with you.

High school is a big step out of the park, you have more freedom rather than middle school. People are nicer then some aren't . Also you don't have to wear uniform. There are more extracurricular activities . And sports too. Watch out for people full of drama and if you do that your freshman will be good.

Be social. Get out there and talk to people, everyone will be nervous on the first day so take advantage of that and talk to people, say this "Hi, my name is _____", I guarantee they will respond back . Try to make at least two friends per class and then three the next day and so on, you'll quickly gain friends. Also, set up a time to eat lunch together. Also use the social network such as Instagram or Facebook, but instagram is better and most people will notice, hey that's that kid who followed me on instagram.

Good Hygiene. Brush your teeth, take a shower every day, use deodorant, etc.

Style, high school is the opportunity to express yourself through clothes, so use whatever works best. Personally, I use polo, Nikes, Adidas, Jordans , sperrys, and vans I use other things too. But I recommend this if your a guy too.

Have a smartphone so you can text and listen to music at school, use an iPhone or a Samsung galaxy .

Study study study. Time management is essential in high school. So always do your homework it's like 40% of your grade as well doing well on tests

Dang, I wrote a story up there lol, and not to mention look out for those back to school commercials they should come around mid July or near the end. I had this for another person.
