You can find better friends then her, she wasn't much of a friend any way. Start a new year, like your a new person! Join school activities, talk to people more! Sit at different places at lunch, whatever, anything to meet other people you never expected to be friends with. I did this past year and now I have more friends yay!
Take Amblessed's advice! It's good advice!
Hope we helped!
You're going to be fine - just treat this year like you're stating new - some ideas:
Don't be shy! This is easier said than done for many people but it is essential. Even if you are painfully shy by nature you are in a new environment and nobody at your new school know about your shyness. So put on a big smile and start out by being friendly to everybody you see.
Introduce yourself to people when you find a seat in class. Sit down in a place where you feel comfortable (yes, the back of the class is OK) and make a point if saying hello to the people sitting near. A good opening line; "Hi, my name is Joe and I'm new here. Do you know, is this teacher any good?"
Find your niche group. Look for the type of people you were friends with in your old school and approach them. Ask if you can join them for lunch or during class look to pair up with somebody from that group. Believe it or not the majority of teens are more than happy to make a new friend.
Join a club or a team. This is the easiest way to meet people at a new school (or meet new people at your old school) because while being an organized event it is in a much more casual setting than the classroom. You get a chance to spend time with peers who have similar interests to yours and you get to bond with them in a more laid back environment.
Don't be afraid to stand out. If you are good at a certain sport or do well in a certain subject don't be afraid to strut yourself. People are drawn to people with talent and stifling yours to avoid being a show-off will only end up hurting you. So if you have a special talent or skill make it known.
Be mindful of prosocial norms at your school. This simply means try to fit in by observing the positive norms at your school. If your new school is a big football school become a fan. If your school is more academically inclined join a study group. Find out what makes your school tick and join in the fun.
Have a great year !!
High School can be really tough, especially when it comes to making friends. Teenagers are exposed to a lot of pressure (to drink, smoke, have sex, be popular, etc) and most of them don't take it too well. In any case... I don't think that there's something that you should do or change. It's her who should make some changes. You were the one who reached out to her, the one who was there for her when no one else was. In my opinion, she wasn't really your friend. She was just someone who decided to walk over someone who was there for her when no one else was. Bottom line, don't take it personal. She's not worth it.
Well, you can't make her your friend. Just don't worry about it. If she wants to be your friend, she will let you know. Until then, just don't even try to contact her. You may be scaring her off because you are trying too hard. She could have her own set of friends and that's that.
I say, when trying to make friends, just stop trying. Friendships just happen when you have things in common with someone and I can't stress it enough, just don't try so hard..






Friend problems?

No matter what I seem like I can't make any friends. For example: In early January this girl was new to my school. Then eventually she started to sit next to me on the bus and we started talking. I thought we were going to be friends. But then she started becoming really popular. When I was in gym class and needed partner or was standing by myself she never acted like she cared. Then I felt like I was always texting her first. The more she became popular it felt like the more she ignored me. So I started to ignore her. I erased her number from my phone and stopped texting her. But later on this summer I thought I should ad her to my myspace. So I did then I asked her how she was doing and she didn't respond. I don't know what to do. Any advice? Also how can I make friends and keep friends? By the way I am in Highschool.
