In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

If your friend can trust you with a secret, don't spread it or tell anyone. Even if you think you can trust the person you are telling, don't take a chance on it. Your new friend would probably be very angry if they found out you'd been gossiping about them! Wait a few weeks before you tell them one of your secrets; make sure you can trust them first. Observe and watch their actions, do they gossip about other people? Unless it's just something funny or everyone is talking about it, try not to gossip around your new friends just yet. After a month or so (when you fully trust them), you probably can begin to gossip. Just make sure you're not speaking poorly of others behind their backs. At all costs, avoid talking about your friend behind his/her back. If they find out, then you're in a lot of trouble and you could be excluded from the group. Social media is a great way to make new friends at school. Find out a couple of your classmates' social media handles and add them. You can also find out their interests and maybe it will help you spark up some conversation. Social media is also a great way to start up conversation. Take Instagram for an example; send a couple of Direct Messages and text your classmates. You may find out a few facts about them, their hobbies and interests. This will be great for starting up conversation in class. Invite a few classmates to hang out; you could do all sorts of fun things and even have a sleepover. This way, you will have the opportunity to spend a few hours together and create friendships.  Go places like a theme park or just the local park. It would be fun for the both of you. Don't bore your friend. Make sure they enjoy themselves as much as you enjoy yourself.

Summary:
Tell each other secrets. Avoid gossip. Use social media. Meet up outside of school.
