Join clubs, start with smalltalk to people, and generally throwing yourself out there're all great ways to make friends.

Making friends is easier than it looks! You can simply go up to people who also look lonely and/or scared who are on their own or make friends with someone in a class or extra curricular activity and potentially be accepted into their friend group or just be friends with them. (Or you could do what I used to do and message them over social media). Just remember to be kind to people and don't make yourself look unapproachable.

If you would like to make friends and are the social type, you could try to join some clubs or activities your school offers. Many friendships are made through school activities where students get to work with fellow classmates and get along with similar interests.

You could find a hobby you like doing, if your school library is open during break times, you could read or listen to music to pass the time. You could try finding and approaching other people that look lonely and you could go to a youth center to meet new people.

Go talk to new people. Meeting new people is the best way to make friends. Or perhaps you could join a group of people with similar interests.

Get out more and talk to people. Take each interaction as a chance to get to know that person. You will soon find people wanting to come back for more and you will make friends. Maybe ask someone you know if they want to meet up. It's very flattering when people ask that so don't be afraid that they will reject you.

Just be yourself! People will love you for who you are. You're best by being yourself, don't try to change yourself for others. You'll have friends by being yourself.

Having no friends doesn't have to be bad - it can be good too, depending on your personality. Living without friends has to be approached differently during school years, whether you are in elementary, middle school, high school, or college. 1. Be active. 2. Be creative. 3. Use your imagination and dream. 4. Join an online community. 5. If there's something that means a lot to you, such as world peace or stopping animal cruelty, take time out to fight for it. 6. Sign up for volunteer work. 7. If your parents will allow you, get a pet.
