Hello there, in middle school I had spent all three years with a group of friends that I never had really felt a part of. I had been associated with kind of nerds shall I put it. For about half a year in both 7Th and 8Th grade I had never been invited to my friend’s house. At both of those times I would often feel alone in an agonizing pain. I was not a dick or anything I was a good friend, the reason why I hadn't fit in was because I was not a nerd I had played soccer and track. I was a good study with mostly all A's. I was nice; I didn't have anybody who had hated me. The main reason why I didn't find any new friends were because I am extremely shy, hence my username. By the end of 8th grade I had felt like I had truly kind of gotten over my shyness because I was talking to most of the classmates around me and I felt really good, I was truly happy with life but then it had to end as summer had come and now school is over and I’m going into high school. The high school that I’m now going to is a different one than my old friends because I had gotten into a better high school. Some people like thirty of my classmates had also gotten in but I had never talked to them because they were more in the popular crowd. I remember in elementary school when a kind of popular kid had asked me why I had hung out with those loser friends (same ones in middle school) and I truly didn't know I had always felt like I could be far more popular. I still feel that way now. So now I am in a situation where I need to find new friends in high school, and now I'm asking you on how to make new friends, remember that I’m really shy so take that into account, So do you have any tips?

Well, freshmen year will mostly be the same cliques as middle school, until they finally disperse and talk to the high schoolers. Be yourself, is the best possible advice I can give you. Don't sell out your beliefs just to be apart of the "cool crowd". You will find your friends who like you for you.

I know how you feel. When I went to freshman year I didn't know anybody because I moved from a different district. I just sort of let them come to me, despite starting out reclusive. If you can open up and be yourself, people will like you for who you are. Those that don't are not for you.
