Next, remember that each group is different. They may use different words, like different things or have different ways of “hanging out”.

Then, the important thing is that you should try to be outgoing. If you are outgoing, you would become very popular. Remember, nobody wants to make friends with a shy person.

Finally, find a right topic to talk with the group. For example, you can talk with them about the weather, the news, their hobbies or their school life.
