You are bound to be scared the first few days that you go to a new school. That is just normal. Your situation is nothing out of the ordinary.

You can always talk to people. Ask them questions about the school. You can always make new friends by being talkative. Everyone loves someone to talk to. Just give it some time.

Maybe instead of making new friends, you should be focusing on your schoolwork more. Schoolwork is more important than making friends, but they are just nice to have. Try talking to your teachers. They can always help you with your homework, and they are nice people to talk to.

Are you still in contact with your old friends? Maybe you could call them up and converse with them. Your old friends know you better than anyone at this school knows you. You can seek comfort in them.

Just take it day by day. You can't just not talk to anybody and make friends. You need to put yourself out there and be noticed! You aren't going to do that by being a wallflower. Just try to talk to some new people and try to be more outgoing.

I know that going to a new school can be tough sometimes, but I know that you can do it! Just try talking to some new people, and hopefully make a few friends! If you want to talk to me, you can always PM me. I would be glad to talk to you. Take care and good luck!!

This situations are hard but to be honest there's not much you can do other than to accept what you got and make it work. You are new and have the possibility to recreate yourself and start from french. Its just been 3 days. Making friends take time. Don't feel all bumped about it. Give it a couple of works and some effort. Just take your time to adapt and let people acknowledge your presence and start networking.

Perhaps you are being too negative about it and that's why you are hating it. You are not the first person in that situation and you'll survive. Go tomorrow to school and start from scratch. Talk to people even if it's to ask where the bathroom is and while you are at it introduce yourself. Look up the clubs and see which one you might be interested in and start meeting people. You need to put some effort it's not like it's magically going to happen while you sit back.

Don't focus on what you used to have so much that will only make you feel bad. Realize that things change and you need to roll with the flow. If life gives you lemons, make lemonades. Your friends will always be there and you can see them on vacations, talk on msn and all of that stuff; there's no need to feel as if somebody died. In fact meet new friends! and experience the beauty of developing new friendships. Don't shut yourself of new situations.

Put a smile and stop feeling sorry for yourself; people sense it. Go make them go out of their minds. Be yourself and charm people out.

Good Luck. Send me a message if you want.  :)
