Did you get lost when you went to secondary school?

Question

I'm starting secondary school tomorrow and I'm scared in case I get lost. I'm quite shy so I wouldn't really want to go and ask some one I don't know. Anyway they'd tell me the wrong directions. I know a lot of people in my sister's class so I could ask them.

I just want to know if you'd be with your friends when you're walking to each class. I'm sooooooooo nervous! lol :o x

Answer 1

I was a little confused on my first couple days of high school, trying to find the right buildings and rooms.  I still remember an older girl who gave me directions and checked on me later to make sure I'd found it.  That was so sweet.  

Just know that teachers will be more understanding the first few days if you're a couple minutes late.  Maybe you could stop by the school tonight with a parent, and find where your classes will be.  Or you could ask the office before school if they have a map of campus you could use to find all your classes.

Good luck!  I'm sure in a few days you'll know the school like the back of your hand!

Answer 2

Relax. You will be fine. I got lost with a mate when were looking for the computer room during our first week of first year. We had to ask for directions. We got there in the end Lol. You will get used to the school. When I went into first year, no one from my primary school was going so I had to make all new friends. Start by getting to know the people you sit beside. That's what I did. Good luck! I hope it goes well.

Answer 3

Yeah..i did, but i just followed evry1 else =p xx

Answer 4

Hi!

I'm in year 8 now and I used to worry about where to go.

I couldnt find my science room so I just stopped a teacher in the corridor and asked them where it was and they kindly pointed out where the room was.

But just to let you know I was in English and when the teacher was doing the register And she didnt call my name out I just put my hand up and told her. She said I was in the wrong class and told me where to go.

I know you might not know people in your classes but when I started I didn't know ANYONE I was the only person in my year 6 class to go that high school so don't worry you'll meet lots and lots of new friends!

Also if you ask your form teacher or a member of staff I'm sure you'll be able to get a map of your school!

Hope I've helped!

Bye! x

Answer 5

i did in year 7 and 8, I'll tell you why cause in year 7 i was new but i did get used to where everything was and stood my ground.

for year 8 was cause, i moved into a new building and i did get lost alot.

if think i might get lost this year cause i forgot what my school looks like during the past 5 1/2 weeks.

Answer 6

I expect that all the new students will be feeling the same as you so please don't worry about getting lost. My daughter's school gave new pupils maps as the school was so big but they both soon found their way around and you will too. You may already know some of the people in your class but even if you don't you'll soon make friends I'm sure. I really hope all goes well and that you enjoy your new school. Good luck!

Answer 7

Yes I got lost on my first day, but try not to worry - they should give you a map! And remember that all the others in your year will be in the same boat.  Just stick with your classmates and follow them, you'll be fine :) You'll get to know your new school layout more quickly than you think.  If you do get lost, try asking a teacher.  

Answer 8

Yes but i just did what i thought was right, you will get used to the school soon  

Answer 9

I'm starting next Wednesday, and if you ask a counselor you probably can get a map of the school. Mark all your classes and your locker and plan your route around the school. I wouldn't be with my friends because I don't really have any classes with them. I'd forget that for the first week of school, but when you figure out where your classes are, you find out when you cross paths. Good luck!

Answer 10

Yep, but you will soon get your way around! It depends if your friends are in the same classes.. I hope it goes well, Good Luck!
