How To Make Friends

By Shamarie Cisneros

I did a story on how to make friends for those of you that are new to Camino Real Middle School or are really shy. I intervewied a lots of people: one vice principal, councilors, teachers, and a couple of students.



Mrs. Paulson said that if you want to make friends, you should join clubs, be yourself and smile. Mrs Kingery said to find other interests that you have in common with people. Anthony Willaims said to pretend to like people and they will like you back. All kids are worried about the way people look at them. Just help them out and put yourself in their shoes.



A good club to join is Mesa. You can try out for basketball or tennis. You can join battle of the books at the library. Leticia Lopez was new here. She said it was scary. Then it was totally fine. All the new people need to do is go for it. It will be fine.

Most important though is not to try to fit into a group just because you don't have friends right now. Friends are important so choose them carefully. Don't change yourself just to fit in. You are probably really cool just as you are.
