Going into High School?

Question

School is starting in about two weeks, and I wanted to know a few things. Is it hard to make the transition from middle school to high school? What are some good ways to make new friends (I'm not enrolled in any sports) ? Thanks

Answer 1

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 :)

Answer 2

i just started two days ago. its fun. (: just think, everyone is in the same situation as you, so just start talking to someone who sits by you. im quiet and shy at school, but i just did it and it wasnt that bad at all!

Answer 3

its really not that hard adjusting. you just have to make sure you know where your classes are and things like that. the best way to make friends is through your old friends, that how i made a lot of my friends.

Answer 4

It's not hard at all. I mean, school is school. You have classrooms and teachers. It's all the same. The only trouble would be finding your way for the first day but other than that, it should be fine.

Have fun. =]

Answer 5

It's really not that hard to move into high school. Within a couple months, h**l even weeks it's just going to be school and you'll adjust just fine. As for the latter question you could either just kind of cling to your friends who are rather out there or you'll just meet people through your classes. As soon as you meet a few people they'll introduce you to other people who will introduce you to other people. It's really nothing to stress over, I did and all my fears were completely unfounded.

Answer 6

Don't Worry!

It;s not that much of a difference.

Just be your self and you will make friends, not being yourself is dangerous so be true! just start a conversation with people in your class and even beside your locker. Good Luck!!!!

I just went two days ago and it was pretty easy of a transition. Our school has a thing called link crew which juniors and seniors help out the freshman and the new kids. There are other things besides sports try to get involved in Student council or and interact club or drama. Try things you usually wouldn't try and you may end loving it, or hating it just try a lot of different things and if you like something you like there will be others that enjoy the same thing and that is a great way to make friends  

Answer 8

it's not a big deal the first few weeks are kind of weired trying to find all your classes and getting used to the new teachers but you adjust pretty fast and the whole friends thing it's easy there are so many new people you just say hi and you make friends it's not hard
