Talking to people is your only option. Just speak with confidence, mention that you do not know many people. I used this exact tactic today and not have 3 more contacts in my cell phone, though I am in university, and the maturity level is higher.

Toss on some skinny jeans, throws your hair into your face, and pretend you don't care about anything. You'll be popular in no time. Oh, and claim to listen to bands that no-one has ever heard of.

Befriending someone is all about finding common ground. If you chime into someones conversation about something you have in common with them, it might turn out good.

If people simply don't talk to you, though, forget them. Who wants friends like that anyway?

Edit: Shit was that off topic?
Ah! My plans! If anyone from high school gets a hold of this and ruins my plans....I'm coming for you...

I figure if you work with people in your classes they'll begin to feel more comfortable around you. You don't even really have to act like you're looking for friends at first. As you work with some people more often they'll probably begin to feel like you're a decent guy. Don't act too "weird" or "odd" even if its their definition of "weird" or "odd", at least at first. In the end though I guess just try to talk with people on a regular basis and don't necessarily force it. Other people will feel more friendly around you if they've had lots of positive contact with you.

Oh and is there anything else we should know about your experiences in middle school? Are you known as "that kid" whatever "that" is.

Talk to people.
Nobody talks back to me.
Say something interesting
I don't know what interests them, seeing as how they won't talk to me.
Is the entire school neglecting to respond to you or just the group you want to be friends with?
Look around and meet new people, us stoners are pretty nice if you're chill.

I remember school, and I have a very distinct image of what I think you look like.
My advice is stop snorting and/or having an overly active nose, if you talk really nasally do something to sort it out and don't walk with a hump.

That's pretty much all I noticed of the quiet folk who didn't talk to many people, they all had really active faces, and not out of their own will.

Stop your whining and talk to people! Just be positive, share interests, blah blah blah. I mean seriously, there must be somebody you share common interests and traits with!

First you gotta get rid of that depression. Get into you head that you don't need friends. You are gonna have to break the connection between the two if you are going to improve either situation. Find something else that will make you happy first.

High school sucks for most people. I didn't have a lot of actual friends there, but I was still happy. I liked myself. I had a few interests here and there (mostly video games).

Chin up man.

Go to the Emo kids.

I am not even joking. They will sympathize with your attitude and are surprisingly accepting of newcomers. And despite how they look they can be very fun and bright people.

Don't worry man, that's just high school. Pick a clique you like and jump in full bore. That way you will have a group and you can diss everyone else!

It's my first year of high school also, I had a lot of friends in middle school (Up until the 8th grade when people started to dislike me for unintentionally dissing one of the prettiest and popular girls in school..), but I only know one girl from middle school here. And I hate her. And her friend that sometimes talks to me. I get a lot of people coming up to me to compliment my drawings, but I'm so socially awkward now that all I can do is nod.

It's been a month, and the closest I have to friends are this senior couple who sometimes say hi to me in the hallway..

Almost everyone at that school sucks anyways. I don't want to be friends with any of them honestly, but I'm really depressed because I don't even talk to ANYONE anymore, with the exception of my friend I sometimes talk to on Vent.

Feels bad man..

It may be your attitude, if you go in thinking you will fail, then you will. Go in with some mother fucking CONFIDENCE(Tell yourself it), people THRIVE off that shit for some reason. And if the confidence comes off as ridiculousness, then you look hilarious anyways, and you can be the crazy guy.

I moved a few times when I was younger, easiest way I found was just plucking up the courage to introduce yourself, and ask them simple engaging questions about themselves.

For example,
Hey guys I'm and I'm kinda new in town what do you guys do for fun around here?

What the more popular team sport every one plays/follows in the area?

Anyone interested in the new Halo?

Anyone seen any good movies?

Or if that kind of stuff fails go in for flattery.

Hey wow nice bag, shoes, shirt, surfboard ,hat ,laptop etc. Where did you get it how much?

Main thing just be relaxed and chill out, don't come over all intense or withdrawn.

similar to me. Accept I'm in grade 11 but was homeschooled for grade 8,9 and 10 so I have no friends at all even outside of school. I have social anxiety disorder which makes me extremely introverted so it's hard to look confident and talk to anyone. So far I've mostly just sat alone somewhere looking like a loser. I'm hoping I'll get over it someday, I can't stand being alone, I haven't had so much as one friend sense like, grade 7.
