Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends.
Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kinds of things they do.
That doesn't mean you have to be exactly like each other, just that you enjoy many of the same things. If you're really into sports, you probably will want friends who enjoy playing many of the same games you do. Likewise, if you love to read books, you will probably enjoy the company of readers. Forming a book club is a great way to get a group of kids together who share your interests. Think about your favorite things to do and try talking to your classmates at lunch or recess about your hobbies.
