Help making new friends?

Yes, do all of those things. Don't copy those scene kids lookalikes. You will shock a lot of people but you could be the talk of 8th grade, mysterious in a way. Dress how you want to dress, the world is yours. Skater guys love confident and unique girls. This will get you true friends who wouldn't ditch you because of looks but also a funny adventure every day. But don't over do it with the guys that you become some skater/punk , so not cool.
