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 sometimes. Start by looking around your classroom — thinking about which kids you'd like to play with at break. Look for to say hi to them, smile and be friendly. Offer to share something with or express your to them, invite someone to play with you or say "Do you want to sit here?" at lunchtime. If you have trouble doing this or if you're feeling , ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually 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'll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
