Be nice and be yourself. People will come to you. Also keep yourself tidy and join some sports. Avoid talking shit or judging people.

Hang out with the kids that wear tanktops. Im sure they are cool. Then, acquire a nice haircut and invite douche-y tanktop kids over. Make sure they like you. Next, fuck their bitches, pee in em real good, soon you'll be on the top of the highschool food chain.

One of my friends was the new kid, came to our school junior year of high school and didn't know anyone really. Within a year he was one of the most well known and liked kids in the school. His friend making strategy consisted of two things:

1. make really good desserts and bring them to lunch and share them with people.

2. go to the first big party of the year and simultaneously make out with two of the most attractive girls in the grade.

Good luck.

Be funny and talk to everyone. Find people with similar interests who you get along with and start hanging out with them more. Boom, friends.

You want to get noticed. You want everyone to know who you are and remember you. The best way to do this is with one grand act. Do something that will turn heads and get people talking (about you!). Suggestions include going to school naked with a temporary tattoo across your chest and head of the nazi symbol, taking a dump on the cafeteria serving area, driving a backhoe over all the cars parked in the school's parking lot, etc.

Remember, any publicity is good publicity.

I have always found that chilling at the local skatepark (not lurking mind you), and matching people is an easy way to meet people. If your not into that sort of thing, just find something relatable and talk with people.

ATTN EVERYONE IN THREAD:

the OP doesn't have any way of meeting people so he is wondering how he should. idjits.



im in the same situation, i just moved to a new place that's no where near where i used to live so most of my friends live pretty far away. Im lucky enough to have a few people who live close by that i knew from when i used to live around here. But try joining some type of club that your interested in, like an intramural sports team or volunteer somewhere. Find a job where there are a lot of young people.

Good Luck!

I feel like bullshitting with people on the regular improves social skills. Talk to everybody, the random person at the bus stop, the cashier at the store. The random kid kicking around a soccer ball in the park. You don't have to plan on being life long friends with the person, you can simply say what's up and move on with your life. Sometimes you'll find somebody you never expected to be friends with is the coolest person ever.

It makes other people feel less shitty when other people acknowledge them and it'll improve your confidence.


At the same time don't sweat it. You're 15. IF you're mildly social you'll make friends. It might take a little while to develop some really good friendships but keep your head up and it'll happen.

Good luck

Join a sport, or do something you enjoy often and find people that share that interest. Remember to be nice, honest and positive and you'll have no problems. Plus, once you meet one person, it makes it soo much easier to meet other people.

nah that doesnt work. here what you do: in the middle of class stand up and loudly ask the teacher if she knows how to find chads gap. when she doesnt answer or tells you to sit down scream " i peed in ur moms butt!!!1!" then take a shit on your desk and run away with no pants. the ladies love it.

Here is what I'd do. Try and get into some at risk youth stuff. Find a drug group or something that kids your age will get sent to. Have your mom sign you up. Just tell her living there is tempting you to do drugs and you need help. You'll meet all the cool kids who smoke weed and drink. And boom you'll find some connect.

Tell stories about doing mad meth/crack/h where you used to live so people think you are thorough and bad ass. Boom-new friends!

make small talk.  introduce yourself and say how is it going...  continue conversation and then see what happens next.

I have found that the easiest way to make new friends, is to find a new interest....it could be anything where you know that you'll be around other people.

Say you like to play baseball, or any sport really, see if there is an intramural league at your school for that sport. Or maybe a basketball team that plays certain weeknights just for fun. It's not too serious so who cares if you're good or not, it's just about meeting people and having fun doing it.

Any interest at all, look up where classes are offered for it, maybe you're into art, or want to learn glass blowing, or any random thing. Google it, find classes, try it out, introduce yourself and boom new contacts and friends.

As someone who has moved 22 times in the last 28 years.... I know what it's like.

Best thing I can recommend is to look for a job somewhere where the people are young and likely to be people you want to hang around.

Try a shop that is a ski shop in the winter. Or if you are with in a few miles of a ski area, see if they need someone in rentals for bike or golf or whatever.

There may be a cool restaurant you could be a host at.

I went with an amusement park when I was 15. The work wasn't that great but we all had so much fun hanging out that it was no big deal.

Another thing... since you are 15, have you done drivers ed yet? My drivers ed class was a lot of fun and really neat cause I got to know people outside of my middle school before going into highschool (which started in 10th grade).

Another option... reach out to NS. It's pretty likely that someone on here is in or near your town (unless it's in alabama). I have met one of my best friends because of NS. Moved to Summit county, knew no one, reached out, had insta friends. If you're a decent person, people don't mind playing tour guide.

Finally, if you aren't athiest or hostile towards religious people. Check out some of the local youth groups. I actually am atheist, but one of the churches here has a music class/group where it's just about hanging out, playing guitar and learning some music theory. They know I'm athiest and are pretty cool with it. Their reason is more so just to show they aren't jesus freaks and that it can be a welcoming environment. Besides, religious people often have non zealot friends as well. So if not the church group type, check on what non religion related groups they also offer.
