How do I make friends at my school?

in my school we have like 200 people in one year meaning you have to stick out for people to notice you and want to be your friend, i'm guessing its the same in yours because you have very few people. When i was in year 7 i was in like the stupidest from ever, and it was basically mess around or get bullied and be a loner. I'm not telling you to get expelled or out, but in cl be funny and stuff, maybe mess around abit, and people will see you as cool and want to be your friend. Worked for me..... and being a cl clown is pretty fun :D
