Freshmen Year in High School HELP ME PLEASE!?

Question

O.k so I'm starting high school and I am a very out going person and a rarely get nervous or feel awkward. But when i do feel nervous or awkward i start to act like an idiot and try to be funny while i do get alot of laughs i still look like an idiot. Yesterday I had a Freshmen picnic and we played a game where you have to say your name and something about youself and the next person has to repeat what you said and you have to say ur name and sometin about yourself and so on. But when it came to my turn i wanted to be funny and i said i was wanted in all fifty states. (DON"T ASK WHY) but no one laghed so i felt awkward. I made a few friends by the way. But in another part of the day i asked a kid who looked younger than everybody if he skkipped a grrade i was being sincere and everyone told me that was rude. And this morning i opened my phone and a new voice mail said "I'm chuck norris i hear you are wanted in all fifty states hahaha" That made me mad. I need help to get away from the awkwardness. Any advice or help and please dont make fun. P.S. Sorry this was so long.

Answer 1

you should walk into class one day, open the cell phone, hold it up in the air and yell "HEY EVERYONE!!!I HAVE A STALKER!!!" play the message to whoever comes over to ask you who :]

Answer 2

try to get a map before the first day of school. know where the wings are [english wing, math hallway...ect.]

if you get the list of class rooms then map out where you are going :) so you'll know the best routes to take.

buy your basic school supplies beforehand [a binder, folder, notebook/paper,pens,pencils,backpack] before hand that way all you'll have to buy after the first day is the necessities for each class.

don't worry about being harassed by upperclassman on the first day. i was a freshman last year and nothing happened to me OR anyone i knew.

just remember: you were in middle school at one time with the juniors and sophmores (when you were in 6th grade!) and the seniors really keep to themselves. dont be nervous-highschool is a time to have fun and be with your friends!

[[there's a really good book called: SLEEPING FRESHMAN NEVER LIE by david lubar]] try it. its good :)

highschool is fun.

Answer 3

Seems like you got off to a bad start.  Try to forget the past, and work on the future.

I suggest that at your next social, or going to new classes at H.S., that you try to remain the "strong silent type."

Don't open your mouth, until you know what's going on, and what is politically correct, for the situation.

If others mess up, and get embarrassed, befriend them, tell them you know how they feel.  Use your awkwardness as a strength, to make friends, and be a little "imperfect."

People are more happy to have friends that are caring and imperfect, than someone who is egotistic, and perfect.

To make friends, you have to first be a friend.

Have a good year. Be positive, not negative, that helps.

Answer 4

Its only freshman year. Just stick to your freinds from middle school and go with the flow
