we can all make friends but it is easier for others and harder for others.im guessing that you are a shy person therefore it will be harder for you but you have to make yourself noticed-in a good way.do afterschool clubs so that you can meet new people.try striking up a conversation with someone.and a friendly smile wont go unnoticed.
hope i helped

 hey,
everyone can make freinds , you just have to know how to make these freinds. and who do you pick as freinds!
because if you pick the wrong person people will drive away from you...
nothing is wrong with you you just have to be more confident, and what attracs people the most is a smile! everyone wants to be freinds with someone who loves to live!
goood luck byeXXXX

I so can relate to you! I have known my best friend since kindergarden so when she left this summer i fell to pieces. We were our own group. We had all classes together and lived right by each other so I never saw the need to make more frinds. Well when I tried it didn't turn out so hot. I got really depressed becauseI I thought people didnt like me. I ended up going ot see my guidence counslor and she said to go for things I liked. So I tried out for softball and because I was with people who enjoyed things that I did we became friends! Don't worry! Keep you head up, trust me once you get around people that like the things you do you will hvae friends in no time!!! =-) Always keep your head up!!!

People have probably split up into little groups if this is in school so you should find a group which you like, who have people that share interests with you and just ask whether you can hang around for a bit. Add things to conversations and just be nice and kind and helpful. Best of luck! SMILE!!
