How to make new friends

This is related to my Moving Schools blog and it was requested so here it is!

When you move schools it can be very hard because of you friends, no matter where you´re moving to, you still know you won't see them everyday in school. When you get to your new school it will be difficult to make new friends, so, here are my tips;

1. Talk - communicate with the people. Don't just sit there not talking to anyone! In this school I am in right now, when I first moved to the school, there was this one girl who didn't talk, I mean, I was shy at the beginning and now I've been in this school her three years and I'm honestly one of the most confident people ever! And she is still so shy, she doesn't speak much and, not to be mean, but she doesn't have much friends, she has one I think. Me and my friends did try to talk to her but she's just to shy! But I'm glad she found a friend. My point is; it can be hard to make the first move, to talk to people, but think about it, you will have to at some point so why not do it at the beginning? You will be liked a lot more and that will also improve you confidence a lot!

2. Make the right choices - by this I mean, choose the right people, don't hang out with people you know will make a bad influence. When you first go to school, on your first day, you will kind of see the people that are most like you even if you haven't talked to them. You will see how they talk, how they act, that kind of thing... So pick the right people!

3. Make a difference from the start - don't be a mean person. Even if you where in your other school, this new school will help you to change! No one knows you in the new school, so you can change there! Make a difference from the start. If they bullied you in your other school, show this school what you wanted to show your older school but couldn't! Show them you're strong and confident.

4. Join after-school activities - Joining after-school activities will increase the chance of make new friends. You'll meet a lot more people. This can also help you get closer to the people you have more things in common. If you join a sports activity, the people in there will be sporty, like you! So you'll all have sports in common. You can join cooking, sports, dance, book club...

5. Start the conversation - this can be hard, but, starting a conversation will give people more confidence and will enjoy being around you. Even if you're the new on and they're not you still can start the conversation. Go up to them and be like "Hey, I'm -----" and just talk about stuff!

Hope this helped you and I will post again tonight! Please keep on commenting! It makes me want o blog more! I love all of your support and I'm glad you find my blog helpful.
