High school!?

Few months later, I'm graduating gr.9. I'm really scared cause I'm going to high school where I know NOBODY. My friends (all of them) are going to somewhere else, and I spent 9 years hanging out with them. I mean, I'm not the "talking" type and im not that social. Any advice on making new friends in highschool?

High school!?
accept yourself, and more likely than not people will accept you.
Reply:people are really nice, they might strike up a conversation, if not you should. but high schoolers are way nicer then given credit for.


you will make new friends in no time. i pinky promise.
Reply:By simply going to your classes, you will meet new people. Remember, everyone else in your grade will be in the same situation, so don't worry. Also, it might help to join a club you are interested in. That way, you will find other students with the same interests as you. By not knowing anybody, you also start off with a clean slate. It's a new chapter in your life, which is always new and exciting. Good luck, I am sure you'll be fine.
Reply:just be yourself. start out on the right foot, tell the truth, dont do drugs, drink, have sex, or succumb to peer pressure. you will be okay. everyone goes through it and we all made it. good luck.
Reply:it's all good. there'll be a ton of kids just like you.
Reply:I went through the exact same thing! It is a bit sad, but try to keep in touch with them, it is harder then it sounds though. When you go to your new school be very confident, social, and kind. With those three abilities people will like you and you will make tons of friend.
Reply:just be yourself let people come to you!!!

Reply:simply be urself and dont be scared to speak up
Reply:Just fall into whatever group u fit into. Dont try to be someone different just to fit in with a certain group, it wont make you friends, it will just get people to call u a poser. Plus if u change then youre old friends wont recognize you. Dont worry, you will find someone to hang out with, and from there friendships will grow and branch. Good luck with H.S., ill be graduated in a few months and you couldn't PAY me to do it again!
Reply:If its a big enough school with lots of clubs you can join surely one of them will appeal to you and thats a good start or maybe a sport?
Reply:talk to the other misfits(if thats what u are) thats what i did in middle school since all my friends went to a different middle school and now i am still friends with them. dont worry, high schoolers are nice
Reply:dont worrry.


just be very outgoing and friendly!!


and you will make friends very easily.


goodluckk!
Reply:Just be yourself my friend.





Don't ever try to fit in, just be yourself. That's the best


tip I can give you.





And be nice to people.
Reply:Honestly just be yourself and be open to people. Play a sport or something that helps getting to know people well. A club or leadership or yearbook social classes where you have to work with people so your forced to get to know them.
Reply:if not your not a person that can define themself as being outgoing then you need to make sure that it's something you work on. you cannot always expect people to approach you first, so you have to make sure that you make an effort to meet new people as well. don't let your high school experience ride on your not being social.. it's just something you need to work on. don't worry about what people may or may not think, it isn't worth your time. just go for it =)
Reply:be yourself
Reply:You'll need to get involved. Play a sport, join some clubs, go to school events. Have a positive attitute, try to be helpful, and smile. All those things will help you tremendously.


Good luck. I know it's not an easy thing to do.
Reply:omg im the same exact wayy!!!!! please help us!!
Reply:find a group of scared 8th graders like you and become a pack of pals





by the way, all higher school kids ARENT nice





show fear and you get dogged by everyone, seriously
Reply:well you probably are scared. i was scared also. i went into the high school literally scared to death. i cried the day before i knew i had to go because i was terrified. I had friends at my school still though....%26amp;%26amp; you don't. BUT...high school is a new fresh start. You can be whoever you want--maybe it's time to break out of the shell and make some new friends or portray yourself as a talking person. If your presented as the talking type,,you'll be more approachable. Just be friendly %26amp;%26amp; try to be more talkative...that's all there is to it :)
Reply:Just be really friendly to everyone and dont make any enemies or make any mean faces to anyone, if you dont know them yet you never know who they could be and what kind of a reputation they have. Just start fresh. you can be whoever you want but be yourself! Smile a lot
Reply:Just be yourself, but try to be yourself a little louder...talk to people and get to know them..Try to be a little more social..and I'm sure you'll find a friend that will take the inner beast out of you! Don't be scared just chill and people will come to you,,Take risks! Don't think about what people might think of you..because then you would be wasting ur time..Be honest with your friend and dont gossip too much or else you will hurt feelings and then you'd end up alone..Always be nuetral..don't take sides..EVER! I hope I've helped!
Reply:LOL! me2! i guess approach evr1! idk cuz i still don't hav friends! but good luck luv ya!
Reply:I'm not the social type either.. %26amp; to make matters worse, I transfered after I finished 10th grade


'cause I moved


%26amp; i left all my frds behind.. some of whom I knew for at least 5 years(I had only been here for 6 yrs then)


it was hard.. %26amp; still is..


I guess I'm different from you


I'm sure you'll make lots of friends


I have some good friends.. but school's gettin' boring lol


(maybe it's just senioritis kickin' in)


well as long as u don't piss anyone off you'll be fine :)
Reply:dont worry people are going thru the same thing you are
Reply:join clubs


i didnt know anyone at the highschoolim at


it will be fine just try to be extra outgoing =]


good luck!
Reply:i was in the same situation and youll make new friends for sure


just be more outgoing and tell yourself to socialize more
Reply:Use your Charisma. Besides, if you don't make friends right away at school; you'll have your friends when you get home.
Reply:Just be yourself. Stay open-minded and friendly, but don't be too pushy or stick to people 24/7 if you want to be their friend. Treat everyone as an equal even if they are geeky, smelly, snobby, or opinionated.





You can also join clubs or sports teams. Get into things you enjoy doing, and you will surely meet some friends you'll get along well with.





Good luck!

Reply:what you do is, dont be all that shy, unless if thats who you are. myself i am outgoing person. the outgoing people in your class will talk to you. you dont have to make a first thing. people will come up and say hi. but its very good to try to be outgoing. its very good to meet new friends, and alottt of people will be your friend. and youll be fine! dont worry about highschool its not as scary as it seems. its a piece of cake.....besides the dumb homework
