Answer :

Hello and welcome to Fluther. What are your interests? You could join a group that you are interested in. A sports group, a math group, a reading group, the debating team, etc. If your school has a yearbook or newspaper you could join that and by doing interviews or taking pictures you can break the ice and form friendships. Good luck!
