How can I make friends?

I don't know how to make friends I have tried looking how to on the internet lol ... but nothing works can you tell me how please please am begging the only reason I am asking is because I don't want to sit by myself in the cafeteria anymore thankyou =(

The easiest way to make friends is to sign up for extra-curricular activities at school. That gives you an automatic compatibility because there's an interest you share with someone else.

You could also try sports or getting involved in some sort of dance or art program that you like.

B friendly. Talk 2 people & find sumthing you both like. That should get the ball rolling.

Pretend to get lost at school. Say you are on your way to English, just say to the nearest person "Hey, sorry, wheres the English room?" "blahblahblah" "Cool, thanks, whats your name?" "blahblahblah" "Oh, okay, cya around. "

haha, bad example. But yeah. Go to places out of school too. Like gigs, parties, meet new people. Give them your mobile number. When you make new friends, ask to meet their friends too!

I agree with the first answer, but would like to add to that. I think the perfect extracurricular activity for you would be the JROTC program in your school. Because of the teamwork that is required to succeed in JROTC, you will gain confidence to approach people outside of that particular class.

My son is currently taking it and loves it. He just came into high school after being homeschooled and really did not know any kids at the high school he is attending. In a matter of three weeks he has managed to go from knowing not a soul, to already having a date to next weeks homecoming dance.

Give it a try. You might like it!

A club is always a nice way to meet people who share common interests. You could also sit next to someone in class and ask them a question. If they have a pencil, if they know the answer to a particular question. Whatever... then say hi the next time you see them. If they're in more than once class try and sit next to them again. Ask them how their weekend was. Ask them if they've seen a particular movie. Ask what their weekend plans are, etc etc (ok dont fire questions, but these are a few examples). People like a captive audience and they like to talk about themselves. If you dont get a positive response, just move on to the next person... Until you find yourself talking to someone you like and you have stuff in common with... The trick is to start conversation... Once you chat with the person, you could either ask if they want to have lunch, or ask if you could sit with them...
I know it's not easy to just start talking to someone, and you worry about all sorts of things. Something that really helped me is, if they dont like me (or think whatever about me) then well I didnt want to be friends with them anyway, and there are plenty of other people out there I can talk to.

This has got to be the weirdest way I have ever started a conversation with someone, but I saw what I thought was a monkey on the ground, and so I turned to this girl who was walking out of class with me and asked her if she saw it, then I saw it was a cat, so we started to talk about cats, then pets, then her family and where she was from, and we ended up chatting for 15 minutes...

you might not be the only lonely person. Look for other lonely people and talk to them.

A great place to find friends also is by joining social net work.
