LIFE
Dear Carol
I have zero friends at my new school. Please help!
My family just moved, and I’m going to a new school. People liked me at my old school, but I don’t know anyone here. I don’t know how to act.
Dear New in Town,
You don’t have to act. The qualities your old friends admired are still yours. Just be yourself – your friendly, interesting self.
It’s a challenge to be the new girl, but it’s also an opportunity. Sign up for after-school activities. Introduce yourself, smile a lot, and I promise you’ll find new friends. Keep old friends, too, by phoning, texting, and sending emails and photos.
One tip: Don’t talk nonstop with the new kids about how great your old school was, and don’t make your old friends jealous by gushing about how much you adore your new friends.
