Help Me Please!!!!!!

I am a starting sophmore and this is the 9th school I've been to. 3 elementary, 3 middle, and so far 2 highschools. I am always moving! And I hate staring school. Seeing everybody, in their groups talking about their summer, reuniting with friends from last year, while I have no idea what to do. All alone, knowing nothing and no one.

All the schools I've been to, I was the shy one. It took so long to make friends and my parents say "We're moving" and in that second, my friends are gone. I'm off to a new state. Its horrible.

So I guess what I'm asking for is help from you guys. How do I make friends on the first day when everyone is excited about the new school year and not paying attention to the new people.

To sum it up, I don't want to be sitting alone during lunch. Please help.

Ive been to 3 schools in the past 4 year and its tough. This is my 9th grade year and everyone already has their groups of friends. Im shy too and have trouble making friends. People that dont move a lot dont understand how lonely it is too be the new kid in school. You have to be confident in yourself and if your not your outcasted and it sux! Its so hard to go to school and wonder who's gonna let you eat with them today and are they gonna ignore me like I dont exist cuz Im not their friend. I hope you make new friends and keep in touch with your old ones. Email and dont forget how they accepted you and brought out the best in you. Your laughter and memories you'll keep forever, but life is always changing and you have to learn how to cope with that too...

Moving every so often doesn't AT ALL. I'm sorry. All I would say is "If you want someone to like you, first you learn to like everyone". Be your own self, and be and confident. You sure can make friends soon. Only that, you dont expect others to come and talk to you, you have to take the first step. And, you neednt lose old friendz, u can have them as penpals. All the best!!!

I am with you. I have moved so much and for the first time in years I'm staying at the same school this year that I did last year. I had to learn early on that people aren't going to always be like "Come sit with us" and stuff like that. You have to make a move. I'm a very reserved person and I wouldn't be mad to be alone or not have friends where I live......but of course I don't want to graduate with some people that I don't even like. You just have to speak up. I use to just find that one person that I thought I could connect with best and start talking to them and from there things happen.......
