If you’re starting at a new school, or just starting fresh in your social life this year, one of the challenges you might face is making new friends. Maybe you’re worried about trying to find someone with similar interests to you, or getting into an established group after you’ve gone through a friendship breakup. 

If you’re feeling nervous about making new friends at school and don’t know where to start, you’re not alone! 

Here’s some tips on where you could begin:

• Find someone who you share an interest or experience with, or who just seems nice. Even if you don’t hit it off with them, they might introduce you to someone who you do 👥
• Try to be the kind of person someone might like to hang out with. If you don’t know what that looks like yet, try looking friendly and like you’re open to conversation 😊
• Have a ready-set list of questions you can ask to break the ice. You can keep them on your phone so that they’re handy 📱
• Don’t sleep on joining clubs or sports teams! At the very least, you’ll get to see some fun, like-minded people once a week 🏃
