Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids whofeel lonely sometimes.It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe becauseshe moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to havenew friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seemsthat everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.Start by looking around your classroom—think about whichki ds you’d like to play with at break. Look for chancesto say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer toshare something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them.Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want tosit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.If you find it difficult to do this or if you’refeeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind,be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—andpretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.You might still miss that special best friend.
