Do your homework.

1. social tip -
Dare. alot of people, just dont dare to talk for say. a large number of my friends dont realy like to talk with the other peoples in school. i was like that too. this attract bullies and make people see you as a nerd.
My tip is - talk. I was known as the "right wing guy", people actualy came at the after party when we finished school, some half drunk, just to tell me there ideaoligy and discusse it. I was the editor of school paper too {yea sound lame, but i did}, so people knew me as paper guy as well, as i intervie dudes from my grade {which actualy make people feel importent and sucssesful, even if they feel sometimes about themselves as failurs}.
I was friendly, helpfull with everyone, so people knew my name. The so called bullies, well, i wont say i became there friend, but they actualy got into a fight when a dude from a lower grade start to try showing some mucles {i was so proud - "oh stop it you!"}.
In 9 grade in high school, no one knew my name. in the 12 year, everybody knre my name. some of my friends, people never knre they were part of our school. in the 9 grade, when i was close up t omuself and my little group of friends, everyone thought that me and my friends were sitting there alone and talking about computers. Now, when we got more open, peoples know we are "Normal". and you dont need to change a single thing about yourself. I still love the elder scrolls and total war, and i have the same group of close friends. but now people wave and say hello to me when i pass, as i do to them. in the After party, when we finished school, almost everyone wanted to toast a drink with me. im the same man, but now im not a 'nerd' or 'wierdo'.
I dont say its importent. not at all. but it help to "survive" school in a fun and relaxed way.

oh, and never try to attack bullies. they are not the hollywood bullies. be warned.

2. - im not sure if its a realy good tip, but ill give it anyaway - it helped me - dont take it too hard. i dont know if its applay to everywher, but in Israel after the military service you can do the final tests again. improve them. so in some subject that i realy had bad times, like math for say, im not saying i gave up, but if and when i failed, i didnt got depressed. You can always improve these grades. try as hard as you can, but relaxe, dont get Depressed.


3. - Get friendly with the staff. A friendly person in the system always help. ask the jenitor if he need help Hauling these tables. go to diffrunte projects, so the principal and and the staff will know you are smart, even if you dont get high results in tests. for an exmple, once i havent done a test. i was sick. so the teacher said that i dont need to do it, she will give me the grade from the last test {which was 94, first test of the year, when the seconde one was on a much harder material, which i didnt learned too}. dont fear to show General Knowledge {just dont become a melvin/nerdish}. so the teacher will know you have something in this box abouve your head.

4. - When you are tierd from study, know your teacher weakness. my Programming teacher loved to talk about politics. and had diffrunte opinions than me {even so, he was nice and friendly}. so when we 'had enough', and it was symple and stuiped as it sound here, one student just rose up and told him - "what do you think about Iran/THe refugees from africa/homosexualism/rabbits food/etc.?". So i {taking one for the group} and the teacher start to talk and argue about it, sometimes for 2 hours. than in the last 15 minutes we continued studieng, so he felt we did something, adn the class got pro in Counter strike. Not very educational tip, but yet a good one. anoter teacher, or psycholigy, loved to just talk about things. teh class could chat from the theories of froied to drugs, to junkies, to education system, to politics, to whenver the god of chat flowingness will take us. help letting you copy from the board or from a friend, and also to get a high scores in doodle jump {117000!}.

The good thing about being Chinese is you can make racist Asian jokes without being lynched. Same for blacks calling each other ******s.

Muggels?

I'm am an asian myself (I'm chinese) and I don't think this is racist at all. Its actually pretty true as me and my friend who also happens to be asian have already achieved this status. Nichdemus is just making a point.

Serious question and really trying not to be attention-seeking, but my parents sort of want me to make friends. I am perfectly happy being alone in high school. (I moved...so I don't know anyone basically and not to mention I came to school after it had started).

Most of my classes are with older kids as in sophomores and juniors. So I feel as if I am the odd one out.

I hate going to lunch currently since I have nowhere to sit as in no friends which is pretty fine since I can always eat afterschool when I get home and I can spend the time in study hall or another class.

If you feel lazy, let me just sum it up. I have no friends at my current high school.

Background Knowledge:
I am extremely shy.
I have no self-confidence resulting in no self-esteem.
I have really good grades/classes.
I am extremely nice with everybody.

I sound like a troubled wreck, but I am not when you actually get to know me.

The school gave me this student link/peer who helps me find my classes. Today was the first day he let me go on my own basically. I felt lost and alone.

Everyone here has their own friends and things like that.

So for my parents' sake, how do I make friends?

Well, start with the peer friend guy kid. Try to be more open to conversation. Join some sports or clubs to get known. Or you could just pull this line, "Hey, Im new here and I dont know everyone yet. Whats your name?". From there, go on to talk about some hard tests or class or teacher, keep it educational. Then, next time you see said person, you can sort of butt your way into the conversation. Get to know local sports teams and such. Thats what a lot of us men talk about. If you are extremely nice, then show it.

I think you should find people that you have something in common with and talk to them about what you find in common. I used to be in the same situation but I found a few kids who were interested in something I was interested in. We talked more and found we had more things in common. And you may feel out of place with upperclassmen but don't let that stop you from making friends with them, there isn't really a significant difference. Also, join some kind of sport. If you aren't really into sports join any club or after school activity that interests you. Anyone. It doesn't matter what it is because once you're in you'll immediately be with people you can talk to, there will be a subject to talk about, and you'll probably have to work together every once and a while.
