making friends

<p>so i started junior year in a new school. i made around 5 friends that i hang out with during lunch. but i feel like i’m never gonna get close to them. i asked them questions and now i don’t know what to talk about. and they seem like they want to be my friend but i feel like i don’t actually “know them” still. what can i talk about to build a closer friendship? thanks to all those who reply!</p>

<p>tell them about how you posted a thread on a forum asking strangers to tell you what you should talk about with 5 kids at lunch time so you can better get to know them.</p>

<p>God you're soooo mean! Starting a new school is HARD. Give her a break!!!</p>

<p>The first thing you have to realize is that you've only been in school for a couple of days, so you can't expect to be bffs with them yet, especially since you came in for Junior year. You're doing the right thing by asking them questions--people love to talk about themselves. </p>

<p>Don't latch onto them like they are the only people in school. Try making friends with more than just them. Talk to everyone in your classes. Maybe the reason you feel like you'll never get close to them is because they aren't the right people for you. </p>

<p>But, if you are convinced that they are, maybe invite them to a movie or something on the weekend. Something very low pressure. If they decline...move on to new people and don't get frazzled. Ask someone from another class to do something. </p>

<p>If you want, maybe you should try eating lunch with a new group of people. It is a good idea to spread yourself around when you start somewhere new. Then, if the old people ask where you were, you'll know how interested they are in being friends with you.</p>

<p>lol im just joking. relax.</p>

<p>Buy them a car. They'll be your BEST friends then.</p>

<p>or better, buy them a great big castle. they'd love you forever. except, if i bought a castle, i wouldn't want to give it to someone else. i'd keep it for myself. sorry, very off topic.</p>

<p>you have to find a topic that really interests you and them, say, if you were both harry potter fanatics, you'd obsess over harry potter and the such. imo.</p>

<p>that must really suck and i kinda know what its like being in ur position....just try to get to know more ppl maybe ull find better ppl</p>

<p>making friends is hard when u start off later than all of them!</p>
