I even experience that time too when I first enter college, just say hi, slowly, don't go fast, make one friend at a time and soon you'll make more. I'll give more advice by the time there are other members post here. Hope it helps for a start

Just try being nice. It will divide people from the "could be my new friends" group and the "totally will never be friends" group. It's how I sort out who I can talk to in my high school. It will be easier for you though because your not an obessive person like I am. I just want you to know though that there will ALWAYS be a mean girl. Hopefully you won't have her in any of your classes. Better yet *hands you Ned declassifed guide to "Surviving moving to a new school* LOL?

Ahh, good old Ned. On a related topic, try some online sources too, that can help when it comes to moving to new places.

Trust me. I barely moved to a new school in January... I always thought to myself that I was so unpopular, geeky, and would never make any friends. So I had preeeeeeetty negative thoughts (you think? XD)
But anyway, you can't exactly know if the people in your new school are nice or mean. A way you can find out is if you just calmly make it through your first day as if you've been there before -- besides finding your way around. You can't say for sure that you're not gonna fit in if you don't try. Even for a person like me, who's too shy to talk to new people, tried. And you know what happened? It was surprising; I made MORE friends in one whole week than I could ever make in my old school (no joke; my old school was so 'ghetto' anyway). Maybe you'll end up like me, maybe not, but you just have to straighten yourself out first and at least put some effort into it.
You could even get into activities or work near people who you know have the same interests as you, then find a way for them to eventually ask to get to know you -- but don't get too carried away that you end up bragging instead. I don't know. Just think about the way YOU made your friends. Maybe that 'magic' can work on new people in that school too...

Don't be afraid to go up to someone and say hi! The way I met my best friend was going up and complimenting on her outfit, so who knows. If you go up and compliment them and start talking to them, they might just be your best friend. :]

Hmm, well Rosemary, I think most of the others' posts are as similar as my thoughts. So I don't think I can give more already, I'm sure you can do it well with all those advices given here. Good luck.
