Friends
Everyone worries about making friends even though they may look confident.
Some people have lots of friends while others are happy with one or two. If you feel you don’t have any it can be very lonely. It is also very common for friends to fall out.
Remember:
- It's easy to think that no-one likes you. If you don't talk to people they might think you don't like them!
- Sometimes you might feel different to other people
- Stick up for your friends
When you feel lonely it can seem like everyone has friends apart from you. It can make you feel bad about yourself, even though you might know deep down you are nice. Why not try some of these...
- Invite someone you think might be nice to sit next to you
- Smile, be friendly and show an interest in others
- Take things slowly. Friendships take time to build
- Talk to someone you don't usually talk to
- Join a school club - you don't have to talk all the time and the people you meet might like the same things you do
Maybe you can think of other ways of making friends?
