Excerpt from the chapter "New Schools - New Friends"
Being able to make friends will help you adjust to a new school and feel comfortable in your new community. The best advice I can offer you as you consider new acquaintances is - be selective. When in doubt, select strong friends, people who have values similar to yours. Learn as much as possible about a person or group at school or in your neighborhood before you get too close to them. And above all - be true to yourself.
Tips to Break the Ice
- Begin a conversation by complimenting a classmate about topics such as a good class presentation or the great game they played.
- Ask new acquaintances to tell you about themselves.
- Don't overdose new friends with stories about your old school or city.
- Intersperse conversation with inquiries about the new school and community.
