High school?!?!?!?
I went through it last year, it wasn't that bad. If you get your schedules before school starts, talk to your friends about where to sit at lunch. If you dont get your schedule, or dont have friends in your lunch(happened to me), just sit by someone you know, until you make friends in that lunch. I was shy too, but I found an xc person and his friends, I after awhile, I was friends with them.





There is a really small chance that you wont have any friends in any of your classes, so dont worry about that.





Also, if your in a sport or activity that starts in the summer, you'll make friends easily.





High-school is really fun, and you shouldn't spend too much time worrying about it. I put you in my about me thingy, and if you have myspace, i put that too.(its private, so you have to send me friend request to see it.)





HAVE A GOOD FRESHMAN YEAR OF HIGH-SCHOOL, freshman year is the most fun.
Reply:I don't have aim. I just made my myspace last week, cause before I thought it was really stupid, then I wanted to try it out, and now i'm addicted to it. I put it on public, so you can see it if you like. Your into soccer, right? Can't wait for the 2010 World Cup, it's gonna be amazing! Report It

Reply:I remeber being really nervous on my first day of highschool. I guess it just helps to remember that everyone is, even though they may not seem like it. Also, now that i've finished high school and have spent a year in college, I can tell you that things that seem like a big deal in highschool really arent... if I could go back I wouldnt have stressed about who would be in my classes and who i would sit with at lunch.. in the end, it doesn't really matter. But, I imagine you are looking for more direct, practical advice. I would say that you will most likely know people in your classes.. at least enough to sit next to them and say "hey".. even people you don't know.. if you are friendly you'll make some great new friends. I had a set of friends when I entered highschool.. and ended up making all new friends with people i didnt know that i just talked with in class. These people are now my best freinds even in college. Basically just be friendly, even if you are shy.. which i was too. Be yourself, and try to relax as best you can. You will be fine :)
Reply:Honey, when I say this,I mean it. Don't worry about not having any friends there at all! You will most likely meet a couple friends in the first day. I totally doubted it but so true!





Lots of times you won't be in the same classes as your best friends, but usually one or 2. And even so,you'll make new ones! And let yourself go crazy as you meet new people!





Trust me on this,there's nothing to worry about! Maybe meet with some of your friends form your old school to walk into highschool at first so you won't be so nervus. Even if you do have to leave eachother after.








And don't worry,the worst part of highschool is that you get lost if you lose your map! Take 2. xD
Reply:just relax and enjoy yourself. High school was some of the most fun I had as a teen. Just make friends with people around you and then you will meet there friends and before you know it have a new group of people you love to hang out with.
Reply:high school is not as bad as people make it out to be. just stay out of the way of the older students, don't look for a fight, stick with the friends you have. you will make friends with other people as the school year continues. good luck!
Reply:High School isn't exciting as it seems. I was worried about this at first, but everything seemed to work out. I atleast had one friend in every class. Maybe you should see if you and your friends signed up for the same classes. If not talk to some older classmen in your class.. ask for help and maybe you guys will be come friends. Don't think high school is too fun, it is fullll of drama! Hope you enjoy.
Reply:Confidence young grasshoppa. Its not bad either road you take. Friends come with any club, and any class. Be yourself.


High school was always interesting, so yeah. Fun fun fun
Reply:chill out, relax, breath and repeat.. really once you enter highschool you will notice that the far upperclassman have more "manners" than the lower you are generally their not at war.. and at least in small schools.. never been to a big school but should be the same you got a few jerks here and there ingore them.. make sure you study for you exams and sleep well before them, don't be late to class and generally you will see your friends at one point or another.. but remember you can always make new ones for each class too.. it's really never that bad.. it can be overwhelm to a few bc their not use to the not being directed on what to do as much.. and haveing combining grades are great especially if you can the right teachers that are fun and do games.. against the classes bc generally its always the freshman to when.. or sophmores


just remember to have fun, even through though boring classes..


social problems only last so long- just make new friend and keep your old ones even if you still have them in every class it always good to have more


educational- study, flash cards.. tons of flash cards. ask questions


you'll be fine just chill, relax and breath
Reply:High School isn't bad at all. Yes, it can be a little overwhelming because you're almost entering a new world. All you have to do is take things as they come. As for your friends, you probably all won't have the same schedule but that's okay. You can hang out before school, during breaks, and after school.





If you find that you're alone for any time outside of class, for example lunch, go ahead and approach somebody. If you're alone on the first day and you don't make an attempt at making any new friends, you're going to be alone for the entire year. If approaching a group is too hard, talk to somebody who is also alone. All freshman are feeling the same as you are, just remember that.





On the first day of high school, I was alone in PE. After maybe the first fifteen minutes, I noticed a girl that looked similar to me in terms of the way we dressed sitting by herself. I went up to her, introduced myself, and simply said, "Hey, I'm going to hang out with you now. I'm sick of standing around by myself." And she laughed and we started talking. We've been really good friends ever since then and that was 7 years ago!





Just be cool and remember that there was hundreds of other kids at your school who feel the same you feel. Good luck on your first day! I hope you and your friends schedules coincide all day.
Reply:don't worry, the first couple days of high school are always the scariest. if you are a bit shy and don't know what to talk about, think of somethings to talk about ahead of time like, "did you do anything over the summer?" or "have you seen so-and-so movie?" or you could talk about teachers and what the classes could be like. i don't find it very likey to have NO classes with any of your friends. it does sound crazy but high school is lot easier than middle school. give it a couple of weeks and if i'm wrong, you are free to send me angry complaint emails. have fun!!
