Anywayyys some tips would be really great.

Thaanks so much (:

Answer 1

Be proud of your accent and use it to your advantage! I remember whenever there were someone new at my high school who had a different accent, people were defiantly attracted to it because it was different.  

High School is such a great place to meet new friends. Just remember to be yourself and make a good first impression - that always goes a long way (: Also open up to as many different people as possible and take an interest in what people tell you about themselves.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Im an aussie too and I've heard that people love our accent!

I wouldnt worry about it, everyone will want to meet you and be friends with you because your different and they will want to hear all about australia.

just be yourself and introduce yourself to as many people as possible

Answer 3

I'm a junior in high school and depending on what school you are going to, high school is a lot bigger and more crowded... you also have to do a lot more to get good attention from teachers...work harder and get good grades...because you NEED teachers to be on your good side because they are the ones who write recommendations for college. Use the first week of school to make friends, talk to the people who sit next to you in classes because most people don't know each other and its easier to make friends that way... remember that most everyone in nervous and excited so don't be afraid to show it.. also don't rely on others to start conversations because they usually don't... just remember to make friends during the first few weeks because once the first month passes its harder because everyone knows each other by then..and the worst part it so become a freshman outcast..harsh reality...but trust me...you will be fine and you will love high school its a great opportunity and take full advantage of it! good luck!!!

PS..accents are awsome!!! Flaunt it!!!

Answer 4

First of all in my high school australian accents are considered godly.So dont worry about that. Be really nice to everyone for a good first impression.Especially the people you want as friends. Also it wouldnt be a bad idea to be nice to the teachers so they have an early class pet.
