Hello,
My name is Chandra Mukhi. I am a girl.
I am new in America.This is my first time using Jiskha.I have some questions.
My questions are:
In school how do you make friends?
In school how do you get to know if someone becomes your friend?
Be your true self. Let others know this true self. You will instinctively know when they are your friends.
To be very direct, Chandra, I have always found the theater and choir people to be very nice, smart people. They usually will rapidly educate you about everyone else too :) Welcome to America, and Jiskha.
Be yourself. people may find you a little diffrent, but who cares? ignore those people. and socialize with people who accept you. kids can be very cruel... all you have to do is talk about things they like and get to know them and have things in common with them :) everything shoould turn out fine! <3 best wishes, goodluck
Hi Chandra Mukhi! Welcome to America and Jiskha! I'm here to help answer your questions.
Making friends in school can be a great way to have a social circle and enjoy your time at school. Here are some steps to make friends in school:
1. Be open and approachable: Smile, make eye contact, and be friendly towards your classmates. This will make it easier for others to approach you and start a conversation.
2. Join extracurricular activities: Participating in clubs, sports teams, or other extracurricular activities can be a great way to meet people who share similar interests and hobbies. It provides an opportunity to interact with others outside of the classroom.
3. Strike up conversations: Don't be afraid to start conversations with your classmates. You can talk about shared interests, classes, or any other topic you find interesting. Show genuine interest in getting to know them.
4. Listen actively: When talking to others, listen attentively and show genuine interest. This helps build a connection and shows that you value their thoughts and opinions.
5. Spend time together: Once you start establishing connections, try to spend time with your classmates outside of school. Invite them for lunch, study together, or participate in activities together.
To know if someone has become your friend, you can look for the following signs:
1. Trust and support: Friends are generally there for each other and offer support when needed. They can be trusted with personal information and will keep it confidential.
2. Shared interests and values: Friends often have common interests and values. You may find that you have a lot in common with someone and enjoy spending time together engaging in shared activities.
3. Time and effort: Friends make an effort to spend time with each other. They may plan activities or make an effort to include you in their plans.
4. Good communication: Friends communicate openly and honestly. They can have deep conversations, share their feelings, and resolve conflicts in a respectful manner.
Remember, building friendships takes time, so be patient and be yourself. Enjoy the process of getting to know others and forming meaningful connections. Good luck!
