Hi guys I'm new to a complete new high high school (see my other thread) and all your comments were great!! Thanks for that. But I have another important question. How can I confront "strnager" people talking in a group. i have one distant friend that goes to that school who has tons of friends. My friend usually goes to the mall during lunch with some of his friends. Half of his friends are left behind. So during lunch, they talk. I really want th join in the conversation but they don't know me. Some of them only know me has their friend's friend. How to i confront them?? what to I say? timings?? what are the chance of them "rejecting me?" also if i ever want to join my friend to the mall, what should I say to ask him?? I know alot of you guys will just saying 'can I come" or "next time, call me so i can come along." Is that too direct?" I doing want my closest friend in school think i'm a complete loser that follows people around!! Is there something smart I can say??? About how long does it take to make friends in high schhol from scratch??

PS. This isn't elementary school with recess where you just ask a group of people who are playing soccer, "can I play" and be friends!!
 
Just be real. Be yourself. You could introduce yourself to a couple people and be like "Hey I'm ----, *insert fact about yourself*". I never had to introduce myself to people people always introduced themselves to me.(No, I was a nerd in high school)
 
talk about whats hot on tv like pokemon and dragon ball z
 
Honestly man, just stop worrying about it and focus on what is important, school. You will make friends. Don't try to force it.
 
go up to them and shake their hands.

does it work?? So i go up to a talking crowd and go in front of a person and say, "Hi may name is......" and put my hand out for them to shake??? LOLs
 
Man, really, just be yourself, talk about thinks you like, you know about....don't try to be other person just to make some "nice" friends...School is just a fase, you will not keep all your friends after the school, believe me !
It's better got ONE nice, trustable and real friend than got many and many 'friends' just to. BUT, if you do not like this idea....Carry some nice and new stuffs to the school, 'grab' some of the prettiest girls in the college and let them know (bette let them SEE), look around what they like to do and talk about and show you know something too ! ---> In this second case, you may not have FRIEND's, but sure you gonna have many anda many FOLLOWERS ! ;D

Make sure it's an awkward situation. First impressions are important.
 
Like they said, be yourself and don't force the issue. You'll make friends naturally in no time. I'm pretty direct if I want to hang out with someone. Like I might ask someone, "Hey, you want to hang out at the mall later?" or "You feel like getting some food?" or just whatever the situation calls for.
