This is kinda odd for a high schooler, but how to make new friends?

Well, don't stress out so much. I know you hear this a lot, but popularity is not everything. and it isn't! after all, you won't see the rest of the people after you graduate in 2 years and then you'll have your own free life. But, it is important to have good friends who will support you on your way. First, seem laid back. not too eager to talk to someone. That'll give a person a "that girl's going to follow me around everywhere if i become friends with her" vibe. so just be laid back. be yourself, laugh a lot, talk about your's and their interests, and BAM! you have a new buddy. after, it'll be fairly easy to talk to them and then soon enough, you have a new friend. You'll get used to doing this, and then it'll be so much easier. And about not meeting people who don't have anything in common with you, just be patient. every person out there meets a good, trustworthy friend who you have many similar interests with and who will always be there for you. Just keep on making new friends and search for your new bff :)
