High school!!!! =[?

I'm so nervous.


I'm going to be a freshman..


I'm afraid I won't make a lot of friends because I'm very shy..


I have a lot of friends now, but I've known them all since pretty much elementary school. It's just hard for me to make new friends because I'm always worrying about embarrassing myself..





I know I need to stop being so shy, but it's really hard for me, i've been this way my whole life.


My school is pretty small, and everyone usually fits in there, but I'm still so scared.





Will I like it after my first day? Because for 6th grade, I was so scared to go, but once I was there I wanted to go back and I really liked it.





PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE!!

High school!!!! =[?
You'll make friends in time. There will be a lot of new people with new personalities, some shy and others not. You aren't the only one that's nervous either. Just try to be confident; there's nothing wrong with being shy if you're still confident in yourself. Also if you have self confidence, your shyness will eventually go away. It will most likely go away as you get older anyway!


I used to be very shy myself but one day I met my best friend, a very outgoing person. She talked to me over an over, and I eventually opened up. Now, I'm not too shy anymore and I know I have her to thank for that. So maybe you'll find someone that brings out the talkative and charismatic side of you. :]


I'm sure high school will be fun.
Reply:Relax...you'll be fine! It is scary at first, but just think about this - all of the other new students are feeling the same way! A friendly smile and "hello" is all you need to make new friends in high school. Just think of it like a higher version of 6th grade. And enjoy it! Your high school years will be some of the best years of your life!
Reply:relax high school is fun dont worry about it
Reply:i've always been kind of shy when making friends, but i'm totally crazy and loud when i'm with my friends. just make small talk and i'm sure that you will make friends the first day. what i do is be myself. when making new friends, i act like i do around the friends i have already. trust me i'm kind of ADD, loud, and crazy, but people seem to want to be my friend because i'm being who i am.
Reply:lmao i was never this neverous but here on these will be the best years of your life with your friends and possibly some one you love :..)
Reply:Ok 1st of all calm down. Dont worry at all! High school really isnt really all the big of a difference in environment as it is made out to be. You might even end up in classes with people you already know considering you say its small. I had alot of my friends in my freshman classes and i go to a school with over 4,000 kids. I personally dont like school and ended up skipping most of my sophmore year and failed due to absences : (. I think you will enjoy it though considering how worked up you get over it :P. Good luck and have a good school year!
Reply:*laughs* Chill. You'll find friends. Just be yourself. You can't be too shy or you would be a social pariah. You have friends, so your not. Join some clubs to meet new people.
Reply:Don't worry I'm shy too, where ever the teacher sits you next to, you'll be friends with.
Reply:I think the real key to surviving high school is to just be yourself and all of your soon-to-be friends will come naturally. I was shy myself in my freshman year but once I met certain people there, it was so easy for me to get along with them that it made me more confident. High school is not as scary as you think. Sure the schoolwork is harder but all of your old and new friends will definitely help you out so don't worry! High school is where you make your best memories; I know I have!
Reply:dont worry.


i used to be sooo shy.


even when i was a freshman and sophmore people would ask me why i never talked but now im so loud and people ask when will i ever shut up.


you'll be fine high school will be so fun.


just sit next to someone you know in class and someone you dont know and you'll meet new people and you wont be so shy for long.
Reply:itll be fine
Reply:everyone hates freshman;]


but theres nothing to worry about!


i miss high school:]


college is wayyy better though:]]
Reply:don't worry and you'll be fine... being shy isn't a bad thing it's just your personality and I am shy too..





Making friends in high school is easier than you think, too! Just join clubs that you feel you'll enjoy and you'll meet friends there... and it helps to go try out for teams, too... I've been on the swim team as long as I can remember and most of my friends are on the team...





Like I said earlier... you don't need to stop being shy... it's a personallity.... if we all had the same personality, where would this world be today?
Reply:don't act all cool and don't act bad because it might affect the first impressions.....


but just act natrually and don't listen to the above......


just show that you are YOU!!
Reply:Just remember that others are equally nervous as you are. Walk to school with a friend so you will have someone familiar there with you. Dont worry about embarrassing yourself, nobodys perfect. Find a club that you are interested in and make new friends. Good luck
Reply:Dont worry at all, people make the first day of high school seem like such a big deal. Its hard not to make new friends just becuase you have different grade levels in your classes and you see older people a lot. I wouldnt be nervous because everyone is matured up and no one is going to make fun of you or say mean things. Just join clubs or sports that a lot of people do its an easy way to make friends.
Reply:believe me try not to be shy, even though most people are, but your personality will shine through just be yourself. you would regret it later on during the track when you realize 'why the hell was i so shy'?


goodluck and have fun !!
Reply:Beginnings are always hard. But they may cause very good endings. Don't worry. You will get your first friend in the first day and the others soon.
Reply:no problem, im going to high school too and the only advice i have to offer is be yourself and let the rest come naturally
Reply:No need to stress bout school........
Reply:dont worry about it!! i have made it through 2 full years of high school now and on to the 3rd. high school is a time to have fun especially as a freshman. makeing friends is not as hard as u think. with a small school it is even easier. you will always have those friend you have had forever and you will make more. i go to a school with over 4,000+ students and was in your situation 3 years ago. just relax because high school is really no different then middle/junior high. after your first day you will love it
Reply:ya, when i was going to be a freshman i was really nervous too. i'm going to be a softmore. my school is pretty small, but what helped me was that my friend was going there too. also we had this before school bbq and i met 2 friends there. i was pretty shy too but if you join school clubs and other extracurricular activities, you'll find people with your interests. hope that helps
Reply:i am the same way and also going in to high school its a big change!


but i am also really shy and have a hard time making friends too


but when your there u will just have to break open your shell and say to the most ppl and maybe sooner or later u will have best friends and a bf.. u never no!


just try and follow everyone, be friendly and just take a chance of a life time


=D


good luck!


dont forget to Smile!
Reply:High school is the best years of your life, whether you believe it or not. Put yourself out there, do all that you can! This is the point in your life that you really start growing into yourself, so relish it and have as much fun as you can!
Reply:hey ,, u do not need to worry at all , this is normal belive me , even if u r extra shy , do not consider it a problem.





now comes a list of advices:


1) the first day everyone wont be knowing anyone, all of you people will be starngers to each other, so if u find someone sitting alone, go n talk with him/her like " hey , how r u ?? " n it goes on , u hav alot of things to talk about , but u should talk about somethign in common which is basically talking about courses and the university so that u two dun get bored.





2) if someone from ur school is joining the same university , y dun u both go n start knwoing more people together.





3) you should be very polite with people and do nto show that u r shy ,, if they didnt like u , fine , not everyone will like u , leave them n go knw other ppl.





4) go n visit theuniversity one day before so that u dun get completely lost in ur frts day.





gd luck ,, wish these advices help ,





cheers
Reply:im in the position ur in right now! if u want to talk abt it or anything, email me :]
Reply:just know that about every other freshman is just as scared as you are right now, but you have to go and once the first day is over it gets much easier and you dont feel so stupid, just dont try to be someone that everyone else will like, be someone that you like because you will be much happier in the end that way, you are not alone and just go with the flow you will be fine
