Coming from someone who’s moved schools a lot and doesn’t really have many irl friends atm here’s my piece of advice but take it with grain of salt: First of all u need a basic classmate that can atleast tell u some basics for u to get around the place before u get used to things (hopefully ur school helps with this). Talk to ur classmates, I understand that it’s hard but approach people who seem friendly enough to be interested in u or better yet let people come to u first if that’s possible. This one’s cliche but join clubs or any of that sort if u can, eventually u could meet like-minded people there and lastly don’t take it too hard on urself if u don’t make any friends on the first day. This type of stuff can take ages but it will be so worth it in the end when u meet the right people

Honestly, depends what you want to do. If you are wanting to make new friends, try to be approachable, and don't be afraid to approach others!! If you see someone that you think is cool, try going and starting a conversation. I know it is weird when you are younger, but I personally really appreciate when I am out and about and someone randomly starts a conversation with me. Also, I would consider what you like. Maybe you don't like being randomly approached. In that case I would consider how you like meeting new people and look for those opportunities. But if all else fails, being a Lone Ranger aint so bad, you can bottle up your feelings for years upon years until you have three albums to write about it (this is satire, please put yourself out there).

Making friends can be hard, everyone has their cliques. Be friendly to people, be open to friendship. Join a club that interests you or an extra curricular like band. I was in drum line from 6-12 and they were basically my second family. I also would personally recommend band because I never saw a gym or P.E. class after elementary because drum line hit all my 'gym' requirements. But its' up to you, if band doesn't interest you there's always theatre, art classes, sports, debate team, any of that.

hope u dont mind me inserting my two cents 0.0 ive moved at least 15 times since late elementary so i think i got the whole making friends things down pact (especially as a standoffish person ;(() i suggest being cool with ur seatmates and making an effort to put urself out there. ik it sucks hardcore, but i believe in u! it can be as simple as complimenting their outfit or makeup and snowballing a convo from that. u could literally be straight up and say 'yo im new and looking for ppl to be cool w. wanna trade instas?' and if they dont wanna thats cool too, u tried and can try again! second, i suggest joining clubs/programs or volunteering! sometimes extracurriculars could use help (my choir is always doing sumn i swear) and u can keep up to date w shit thru the school's diff instas/other social media. im sure there's other shit u can do but im a lil brain dead rnnnn. finally, remember that stuff like this takes time and effort. just be respectful and open and i think you'll be fine :))
