A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling left out at break because her best friend wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her, and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．

It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around，maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends．But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends．

Start by looking around your classroom-thinking about which kids you’d like to play with at break。Look for chances to say hi to them，smile and be friendly．Offer to share something or express your appreciation（欣赏）to them．Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” at lunchtime．When you are at break，walk over to kids you want to play with，act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in．

If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling 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，and pretty soon，you’11 have one，or two，or even more new friends．

You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!

If you accept an invitation but later realized you can’t go，you should tell the host or hostess as soon as possible．If you receive a written invitation that says PSVP（please reply），you have to tell the host if you will be going or not．

You don’t have to bring a gift with you．However, people think it is polite to bring a small gift if you have been invited for a meal or are going to stay for a few days．If you are going for dinner, the host or hostess will be happy if you give him or her a box of chocolates or a bottle of wine．
