Advice for freshman going into high school?

Question

does anyone have any advice for freshman going into high school? school started monday and i'm going fine... but how do you make friends easily? sometimes i get shy and such but i guess it's because i dont know what to say or whatever... and any other advice would be fabulous! :) thanx!

Answer 1

was really intimidated when I was about to go into high school and I admit that the beginning of freshman year is a little bit scary because you're a 14-year-old going to the same school as 18-year-olds. But get involved in a sport or band or something you find interesting and you'll find a group of kids you like to hang out with. You also have to remember that the seniors have been there for three years and are starting their fourth year so even if you don't like to admit it, they DO know what they're talking about. It also helps if you can make some friends with upperclassmen because they usually know the ins and outs of the school. Good luck! High school is a fun learning experience where you'll learn so much about yourself.

Answer 2

Freshman year isn't nearly as bad as the media makes it sound.

A good way to make friends is to start out with the people in your classes. Do things with them outside of the school environment (like watch a movie together, go rollerbllading, whatever). Eventually, you will be introduced to their friends, which in turn could give you even more friends.

Answer 3

Converse with people, find similar interests, try not to make a question and answer sort of thing. Don't focus on yourself too much.

But I read this one thing online that said the best way to do a conversation is "Yes, and..."

Eg. "Yes, and did you hear Miley Cyrus is performing here here and here?"
