First day of school tomorrow ?

Question

I'll be a freshmen. I'm kind of nervous as of now. You know the shy girl who was really quiet and didn't have lots of friends in middle school, well yeah that was me. Any tips?

Answer 1

try talking to other freshmen that you can see is shy also it kinda boosts your confidence

Answer 2

ha that used to be me.

but it all turned out ok, im a senior now and i sorta kicked the habit of being the shy girl.  

Answer 3

Well your reputation will be erased when you get up there, so don't worry. If you just be yourself you should be just fine... I know that for a fact other kids are thinking the same thing.

Answer 4

High school is so much better than middle school. You meet new, different people. A lot of times you end up with a whole different group of friends. You should be fine just be yourself.!

Answer 5

Dont be S**t.. trust me then it will be horrible kk.. Dont let anyone walk all over u and keep ur head up dont look scared or nuthing.. make casual conversations "oh.. i like your shoes..or shirt or sumthing kk just dont be the same as u were in Middle skewll u want more friends its much better trust me

Answer 6

just be yourself and try and talk more

Answer 7

If your worried you won't have much friends then join a club or a sports team. You'll meet people that have the same interests as you.

Try to break out of your shell. I was a quiet and shy girl. I met these really great girls that had the same interest as me, and they were all outgoing and loud. They always had so much fun, and talked to everyone they saw. I became their friends and they took me out of the darkness and into the bright side! People that remembered me back then said that I change, but I think it differently. I think I found myself.

Answer 8

Wow talk about a flash back! I had about the same problem. All I can tell you is keep you head up when walking smile, and walk with purpose (meaning don't worry how you look or if people are staring at you just walk , and not to fast). That will help with the hallway situation.

In class, sit up straight and ask questions to your neighbors sitting next to you. compliment them but don't "breath-over-their-shoulder" that won't help you at all!

Compliment them once and if they thanks say no problem! and smile and turn around facing forward again. If you do want to carry on a convo. ask questions about them and try not to talk about you too much, People LOVE to talk about themselves! so they'll instantly love talking to you.  

Good Luck, Relax and make sure you have a killer outfit, "it's the outfit that makes a girl confident and confidence makes a girl hot!" -One of my best Guy friends said that! lol

Answer 9

High school is a totally different story! I was a freshman last year. I'm seriously so different than I was in middle school. Just be outgoing. Meet new friends! I have some of the best friends that I just met in highschool. There were people in middle school that I didn't talk to until I had classes with them in highschool and now they are some of my closest friends. Seriously, just don't stress. It's not as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be. High school is fun. It's the best time of your life, live it up!

Answer 10

every fresh is as scared as you are.

in homeroom or first period talk to some people your age!! trust me i went through the exact same thing. a great topic to start out is with just asking how their summer has been.  

Answer 11

don't let people know you're a freshman

Answer 12

The best thing is everyone else will be starting their first day too!

Just make it a new goal to try and be a little more out going and maybe you can join up in a few after school programs at school or get involved in some volunteer programs they have. That might be a good way to meet new friends..try and get more involved.

I'm sure you will do just fine..you sound really sweet..

Wish you the best

Answer 13

You'll be surprised to find out how many others feel exactly the same. That will give you one thing to mention & then the rest will come in time. You'll probably have a half dozen friends by the end of the week.

:D

Answer 14

I'm not saying I can't help you but that's what I am now :P

Answer 15

YEA ME TOO I WAS LIKE THAT SO BE MORE OUTGOIN JUST TALK TO-- NOT AS MUCH UR GRADE LEVEL BUT THE OTHER OLDERS PPL

Answer 16

Say hello to everyone and smile.  A smile goes a long way!  Introduce yourself.  Try to remember people's names, write them down if it helps.  Start a conversation asking people about themselves.  Compliment their clothes and hair.  Ask where they went to middle school.  Ask if they know anything about the teacher in your class.  Offer help any time you can.

Answer 17

you should try getting a new look or something

Answer 18

Ummmm on friday, WATCH OUT! My sister will be a freshman too but shes making friends by school activities. Like volleyball and soccer. You might want to join an activity

Answer 19

In junior high, I was quite popular, had so many friends and a hot boyfriend.

In high school, I can say I have 3 true friends, and my 2 real best friends don't even go to the same HS as me. I do not have any other friends really...

So my point is, you can most definitely change in HS. You may have been shy in middle school, but you could easily fit in better with these new people you will meet. In my case, the popular crowd just didn't accept me freshman year. I tried to make friends with them, I really did. But truth is, their personalities don't even come close to mine.

As time went on, I became quieter and quieter. I'm much more of a listener than a talker in social situations, and I love it, but people interpret that as being shy. So if you feel comfortable talking to people you don't know, by all means, DO IT. It won't hurt you! But you don't have to step out of your comfort zone to try and meet everyone, because they can see that you're nervous.

Good luck! BE YOURSELF.

Answer 20

Congrats on starting a new year!  Being a freshman at high school is a scary step, but remember it's just another year and your goal is to get through to graduate and go on to college. Also, remember you are not the only one who has butterflies on their first day.

Be yourself, ask questions, raise your hand, be involved AT school, don't gossip or allow gossip to hurt your feelings, try out for sports or join clubs, so that you can meet all kinds of people at school. Smiles are free and people respond to a smile better than no smile at all, and don't be afraid to just say HI to anyone who looks at you...that attracts people to your magnetism and people will ant to get to know you.

I was shy in school but not afraid to smile and say Hi, so I began to have many friends of all groups.  I would have missed out on so much if I hadn't spoke up or gotten out there and just talked to people.  You never know, they may be shy but want to talk to you and they'd miss out if either of you don't speak up.

And remember, if you are shy and don't speak up in class, it could affect your grades, so be involved in class and it will get easier to start being involved in anything.

Good luck! I have two college-aged sons, and we just dropped one off 7 hours away at a new college for baseball. He just gets in there and talks to people and he was always shy. Being able to just get out there and talk has made him so many friends wherever he goes now.

Answer 21

hi sister please do not ask such qs , what do u want me to asy

Answer 22

Don't just jump in and start talking to people. Some will come and talk to you, but be friendly to them and talk back and ACT NATURAL. After a while, join a club, and slowly you'll start making a lot of friends. Don't blow the first impression!

Answer 23

Answer 26

Answer 27

Be more outgoing.

Smile a lot (it make's you look outgoing and make's you more approachable)

Be confident (walk with confidence)

Talk to everybody you see. ( It may be hard but trust me it will make you make friends FAST)

Dont be so serious about things.. Make joke's ect.

Wear something that make's you feel hot, That always helps you become more confident.

Just be ready to talk to people.

I used to be shy but you will ALWAYS be shy until you do something about it.

Just talk to people. Dont worry about what to say just talk.

Nobody's perfect.

Answer 28

be yourself   try not to be scared it will me fine  

Answer 29

I was a freshman last year. Just open up a little more and spread out through your classmates. (don't stay with just one group of friends all the time) MOST important just be yourself and everything will fall in place!

Answer 30

Here's how you overcome shyness like this.. find another shy girl and help her.  

Helping others is how you help yourself.

Its an old saying but true.

Not all the upperclassmen are hecklers.

I, for one, always took the younger kids just starting and helped them find their way around.  Or maybe showed them the lunchroom layout etc.    Be friendly and dont be afraid to ask.
