How can i make friends, please?

[Boss]

OK so, im pretty much a loner. Never had any 'good' friends...
I remember when i was younger, i had friends but they only liked me since i had a ps2, with heaps of games. (like 8 & 9) Im 14, now.
My phone (A Samsung galaxy) is never used for texting, music and internet is all its good for, i have 11 contacts, most of them are family. Everyday i check Facebook, nothing new. No messages or notifications i always hope ill receive a message but it never happens. The only way for me to get in a conversation is if i start. I haven't had a friend come to my house in at least 3 years. I had probably 2 'real' friends. The first, same age, knew since kindergarten. We have grown apart. He sits in side i go outside and ride bmx, etc. The 2nd, a person who is about 3 houses down from me, and thats the only was i know him, i cant stand him, hate him, etc. Iv never been popular. At lunch i usually sit alone, on my laptop or iPod, i hate doing this since im not a 'nerd' but its all i have. I just want ideas on how i can make friends, its the school holidays at the moment, and i havent heard from anyone. Except that neibour i hate door knocking me.

Thanks.

Just smile
Be positive
Ask people if they wanna hang
Like yourself for who you are
Make jokes
Sit with somebody at lunch no matter how embarrassing it may be
Write status's
Like people's photos links status,etc
Join group activities
Be involved more
Hoped this helped!!

Just try talking to people, don't bring your iPod or laptop at lunch because people will think you're playing some stupid game. Start to do some sports. Not to be mean but maybe change your look. If you want to make friends then make the effort. Don't try to make friends with mean people. Find people with your interests and don't talk to people you don't like because they'll just make fun of you. best of luck!

Thats kind of a tough question to answer, but I feel for you, as I went thru the same thing when I was younger. I would say the best course of action is to try and involve yourself with your peers in their activities, something that you feel comfortable with but that will also maybe take you out of your comfort zone a little bit. Also if they are available to you, maybe join some clubs that are available at your school or church. But befriending other people is not always easy, sometimes it will take a little bit of effort, but its also very important to be yourself. Don't try to act cool or turn into someone your not. Just be yourself.
