Make friends at camp in 60 seconds flat

 
We’ve all been that new girl at least once in our lives. It can be pretty tough to make a bunch of new besties at camp, especially since you may already be out of your comfort zone. But trust us, chica, you can make a brand-new sisterhood in seconds. Here's how:
 
Smile—it makes a great first impression: you’ll look approachable and friendly. People want to become friends with people who are nice, so show them you’re just that!
 
Say hi first. You may think you’re the only one who is nervous about making friends, but we promise you’re not alone! Someone else is probably feeling exactly the same way, and they may be too shy to say something first. So, go up, introduce yourself, and say hey. Who knows, she may end up being your bestie!
 
Find common ground. Talk about the activity you’re doing or ask them what they like. Chances are you’ll like some of the same stuff, too!
 
Don’t over-think it. If you’re too busy worrying about making friends, you may miss your chance. So instead, focus on being the Y-O-U all your other friends totally love. And remember, you’ve got this, girl!

Ok so I'm the kind of person who doesn't like it when people are mad at them and always wants to make amends. So, a while back I accepted a friend request on my BBM from a girl from my dance school because I didn't want to be rude and decline it. We never really talked I just always got her forwarded messages and stuff like that then all of a sudden I get a message from her directly just saying "whore" and I was so confused. We hadn't talked since the recital at the end of May and we weren't even in the same class!!! I replied just saying what and then she sent a "Laughing" and then deleted me from her contacts right after. I don't know what I could have done to make her do that.




Hey girl,

It seems weird that she would say something like that out of the blue. Maybe it was a mistake? Try and get in touch with her and ask her what's going on. Good luck!

MOD MOD MOD--
Me and my best friend have been besties for over 3 years. But I changed schools last year, and we still got together and did stuff together because I didn't move, just changed schools. But lately she's just been really mean and nasty to me. I'll invite her over to my house for a sleepover, and then she'll face time me a few days later and she'll have one of our other friends over for a sleepover. We always drive her everywhere too, and she'll be rude and nasty in the car and during yhe activity too. She's being really nasty to me, and I don't really want to deal with her anymore. Do you know of anything I can do to, like, make her stop being nasty and to stop being friends with her? I'm really quite fed up, and we aren't even ever going to be in any classes when we go to the same high school in a couple years.




Hey girlie,

Instead of causing a big dramatic argument and "ending your friendship" for good, try to just fade away. Since you go to different schools, it shouldn't be too hard. Be less available to hang out, take a while to respond to her texts, and don't initiate any of the contact. That way, it'll seem like you both drifted apart and became friends with other people. That's normal when you're growing up, so there won't be any tension or hard feelings! It's smart to cut the negativity out of your life though - there's no reason to be around her constantly if she's always bringing you down! <3

I've always been a shy person,even since I was little.I have a good group of friends and I'm friends with people even outside of my group of friends.I'm going into high school this year so I'm a little nervous but not too bad.I'd really like to make more friends from other schools too.Some people I'm friends with that are from other schools though are either 2-3 years younger or some have already graduated hs.There is a school in the county right by mine and I usually go to their games instead of my high school's games. How can I make friends from the other county? My cousins go there but I dont really get along with them. I'm not in sports either. I do kickboxing and there's a girl close to my age there but I dont talk to her.Like I said I'm really shy and never know what to say but I'd like to make friends at the other county so I have people to hangout with when I go to those football games. Any ideas? Thanks so much!




Hey girl!

Even though you're a little shy, it sounds like you still are pretty good at making lots of friends! I think the key here is not to try too hard. New friends from other schools or counties will come naturally if you let it. When you go to the football game in the next county over, bring one or two of your friends from your group. It's a lot easier to socialize when you're comfortable with the people around you. If there's a friendly looking group of girls sitting next to you, tell them how you always come to their football games instead of your own--you just love their school! This will be an instant bonding moment and will open the door for conversation. New friends you make will be gradual so just let it happen. Good luck!
