In theory, making friends is easy; strangers can bond over their obsession with TikTok trends and challenges. However, the reality is very different. Putting yourself out there is hard, even if it is “just” making a friend. Here are 10 ways to make friends at school.
#1 Ask Them, “Hey, I think you are cool; want to be friends?”
If you have someone in mind, walk up to them and ask them to be your friend; the worst they can do is say no, so go for it! It is 2022; the fear of rejection can’t hold you down. I know it might be challenging and scary, but at least you tried.
#2 Bright Colours
My dress style is either an over-caffeinated Euphoria character or a poorly dressed cabbage patch doll; either way, I look intriguing. The key here is to dress uniquely; it gets people’s attention. Eventually, you will get a “Hey, where did you get that,” Your response should lead to a hangout; an example is “I got it from H&M want to go shopping on Saturday?”. (Hook, line, and sinker — YOU’VE GOT THEM!)
#3 Mutual Hatred
Henry Rollins once said, “Nothing brings people together more than mutual hatred,” all you must do is find that thing, subject or person you both hate (you are in school it shouldn’t be hard 😂)
