Hanging out with someone outside of school is a great way to get to know them better and become friends. Ask your parents if you can have a friend over after school. If they say yes, invite someone over from class or your lunch table that you get along with. Plan on doing things that you know the person will enjoy. For example, if you talk about video games with each other a lot in school, pick out a couple of your favorite video games so you can both play when they come over. If your parents are OK with it, invite over 2 or 3 people. Sometimes it's easier to make friends when you're in a bigger group. When you join a club, you'll get introduced to lots of different people that like the same kinds of things that you like. Making friends with someone is easier when you both enjoy the same stuff. Ask a teacher or your parents for a list of after-school activities and pick 1 or 2 of them that you're the most excited about. Introduce yourself to everyone when you attend your first club meeting so people know you're friendly and approachable. Just like clubs, sports teams are a great place to meet like-minded people that you can be friends with. If you join a sports team, you'll get to hang out with your teammates during practices and competitions. Over time, you could become good friends with some of the other people on your team! If you have a cell phone, exchange numbers with people at school so you can text and call them during the weekend break. You can also invite people to hang out with you over the weekend. Spending time with people from school on the weekends will help you get to know them better and become friends with them. For example, you could make plans with someone to go see a movie or hang out at the park on a Saturday.
