Friend Finders

Sometimes it just takes being in the right place at the right time to find

a friend. Get involved in activities you enjoy, and you’ll improve your

chances of meeting someone to enjoy them with.

Play a sport

Join the team! Regular practices and

exciting games and events can lead to

close friendships. If competitive team

sports aren’t your thing, consider ice

skating, tae kwon do, or even fencing.

Start something

What are you into? If it’s reading, start a

book club. If it’s chess, start a chess club.

If it’s dance, start a dance club. Try to get

girls together who like the same thing,

and it’s almost sure to pay off. Ask your

teacher, librarian, or coach to help you

get something going.

Just get out of the house!

Watch for opportunities to get together

with girls in your community, neighbor-

hood, church, or school. Sign up for a 5K

fun run or bake-sale booth to benefit a

good cause. Participate in a park cleanup

or school fund-raiser. Put yourself in situa-

tions where you can meet people, and

hey, you just might!

Take a class

What have you always wanted to try?

Swimming? Cooking? Drawing or yoga

or horseback riding? You’ll be surrounded

by people to meet, and you’ll learn

something new!

Join a club

In after-school groups such as service

clubs, scouts, or student council, you’ll

work on projects together and, chances

are, find friends, too.
