How to make/find friends!
How do you find and make friends? Well, there all many ways, but we are going to give a few simple tips of how to find good friends. The end of the school year is coming up, and some of you will be making the transition from elementary to junior high, or junior high to high school, and you will be having to make all new friends. These tips will help you do just that.
When you're going into a new school or just going up a grade, it's always a struggle to find the right friends. Also, its hard to find friends when you go to a new church or youth group. Been there; done that. It's hard, but I promise if you are a friend, you'll make friends. This is something the Bible says about friendship "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born from adversity"~ Proverbs 17:17 (or sister). See, it's import to have good friends, and these tips will help.
1~Go to a youth group. Even if your church doesn't have a youth group, that doesn't mean you can't go to one. There has got to be one in your community, you just have to go find it. This is a great way to find good, Christian friends. You might even find someone that goes to your school! And if they don't, that doesn't mean you can't be their friend; that will just bring you to church more because you have go see that friend!
2~You have to be a friend to have friends. I know we've all probably heard that before, but you have to put yourself out there. You can't just sit in the corner and expect people to be drawn to be your friend; you have to act like you want friends. This is very true for public school!
3~Common interests. So if you are on a sports team with someone or in band or something like that, you have somethings in common with that person; so go talk to them about it. You never know: they may have other interests that are the same as yours.
4~Compliment someone on something. First, that will make someone's day a whole lot better, and second, they see your a kind person. People are automatically drawn to you if you're nice more so then when you're mean. This will automatically show them that. Just something like Hey, your hair looks good today or You're really good at volleyball. It can be anything to lift their spirits!
5~Talk to people. I know that sounds weird, but just go up and say, "hey". That is how you start any conversation. Its one of the easiest things you can do to start a friendship.
Hopefully some of these tips will help you in making new friends. I'm about to go into high school and I will probably be using all of these at the school.
