I used to live in Whiting, Indiana.
Now I live in Rogerparks Illlinois.
It took me a long tim to make all the friends I used to have.
It sucks because when I moved out here I went to a school called Armstrong.
I am currently out of school due to summer break.
But, that is not my problem.
My problem is that my mom wants me to go to another school.
At my old school I didn't have that many friends but it was better than none.
I suck at talking to people.
So how do you make friends?

*** note, You may wish to edit your information, and merely leave the state, not the specific city and school. There sadly are a lot of nuts and others that are there to take advantage of well meaning school kids.
Since it really does not break our rules ( to my knowledge) I did not edit the post, but would advise you to for your own safety.

Smile. It's contagious!
Address the person you'd like to make friends with by his or her name. This shows that you are interested in getting to know them.
Be genuine. People are naturally attracted to someone who is sincere and genuinely interested in them.
Relax. Be yourself.
Ask questions that will help them start talking. Don't ask questions that are too personal in nature.
Be a good listener. Build on common ground, such as interests or hobbies.
Respect differences of opinion; that's what makes friendship exciting. Be objective and open-minded.
Give compliments when called for. People always appreciate positive feedback.
Keep in touch by inviting them to do something fun together.
Follow up with them after that.
Enjoy your friendship.
Good Luck :)

It should be in the bottom right corner of your original post with the "quote user" button and all that good stuff.

Nope it is not there.
That is why I am confused.
Because it should be there and it is not.

It just depends on you if it's a big deal. It's a big deal if you don't want anyone knowing what town you live in and what school you go to.
