My dad just landed a new job, so my entire family has to move across the
country to a state I’ve never been to in a town I can’t even find on
the map. Needless to say, I’m freaking out. I’m scared of not being
able to fit in and make new friends. I’ve lived in the same town my whole
life and I’ve never been the new kid. The town we’re moving to is
small, so if the kids there don’t like me I’m totally screwed. It’s
super important that I make a good first impression and find people to hang
out with. Can anyone give me some pointers? I feel so lost already!

i know how you feel when i was 16yrs old my dad moved up here from a town we
grew up in. It was a bigger town and tons of things to do. But one thing that
help my parents allowed us to go on our bikes and adventure out on our own. It
is going to be ok.

all you really have to do is be yourself dont try and impress people cuz then
they think thats how you are so i just say be yourself if no one likes it thats
there problem cuz you seem pretty cool so it shouldnt be that hard.. i make
friends with all kinds of people no matter how they are or how they look.... :)
good luck

listen you are a cute girl so be careful with guys saying they want to be
friends some may and alot others wont they just want to get close for one thing
so keep your eyes open. second you just need to relax if you push to hard when
you met people it will make them back off so just be relaxed and be yourself
dont try to be someone your not you are only hurting yourslef and wont met real
friends that way try finding a topic to talk about with someone that you are
interested in and go from there just think that you have known that person you
re metting for years and that we help you not be afraid as much good luck

Find a near by rec center they always have classes there like gymnastics,
art,music,weightlifting,martial arts, or just groups of kids playing
basketball,tennis,pingpong or even football

Well, you could hang out at malls or public places, and maybe you will meet
someone, or just do your own thing until you meet some friends.
