Going to high school tomorrow i have glasses and braces?

Question

okay, first of all i'm so nervous about high school tomorrow. i want to make some new friends and none of my old friends have the same lunchtime as me. also, i'm kinda shy and have glasses and braces. but i'm not nerdy or anything. like i love shopping, makeup, purses, ect., and i have a pretty good fashion sense. like i shop at charlotte russe, aeropostale, forever 21, ect. i am sooo nervous right now. where would i sit at lunch? i went to open house an everyone looked like they didnt want 2 make new friends. WHAT DO I DO???

Answer 1

I have to go through that too in 2 weeks. I'm thinking that when you go to your homeroom start talking to people.And if there is someone in more than one of your classes up till lunch talk to them and ask if they wanted to eat with you or you could eat with them viceversa(sp?). But yeah good luck. if you need anything e-mail and we could talk and get tips from each other!

Answer 2

you walk in there confident as can be!  You hold your head high and smile the biggest friendliest smile you can muster!  You need to think of Ugly Betty and how amazing she is.   Don't be nervous you will do fine.

remember you are not the only one that is feeling that way so you need to look around and find the shy person in the corner that is showing they are scared and nervous and calm them down with your friendship.  

You'll do great!

my first day of school is tomorrow too. im gonna be a junior. and when i went to high school i didnt know anyone so i just started talking to random people and now i've made lots a friends!

Answer 4

im starting high school a week from tomorrow and im already nervous. so remember your not the only one who is nervous. and im pretty shy too (but i hope to become more out going this year) i dont have glasses or braces (unfortunately i will have to get braces soon). and unfortunately for you those are rather "nerdy" or "geeky" styles but just wear them styleish and be confident.(remember: confidents shines) and neither of those makes you a nerd or a geek so  be yourself and show people your not. because if your shy and then all people have too judge from are your looks. and its high school just about everyone judges. and i love those stores.

i hope i helped and good luck tomorrow!!       :D

let me know how your day goes. id love too hear!

Answer 5

since  your a female, there are always going to girls looking at you sideways. but 9/10 they won't do anything. people will talk behind your back. But that's nothin.

As for glasses and braces, TV makes it seem like its impossible to have friends with them. If your friends are like mine they will friendly tease you about it once in a great while but you know.

It all depends what group you fall into.

you'll make most of your friend just from being present. And just make small talk and that's all there is to it.

Answer 6

You shouldn't worry about the glasses and braces. Glasses are actually a very cute thing to have now, especially with wide brimmed glasses and braces are so common, you wont be the only one with them and chances are some kids will look like they need them.

At lunch, sit with someone you have a class with. Start of conversations about the class, but don't dwell on it to long-- that's just the ice breaker, quickly change the subject. Most kids look like they don't want friends because they're familiar, but it'll be easy to mix in once you get comfortable in the school and you may be in a class or club with them. Maybe even someone close to your locker.

Don't stress about it. Relax.

If your a freshman no one will push you into lockers, knock books out of your hands etc.

Have fun, good luck!

Ugh... Just hope for the best, and realizes that things take time.

Answer 8

Glasses and Braces... Nothing too worry about. You will see that everyone has braces and glasses too. Nothing to worry about. I had braces and no one really cared. I just thought of it as making my smile that much brighter and beautiful. && I am soooo scared about highschool. Im going to highschool where none of my other friends are going too so imma have to start over. Imma just strike up a conversation with someone that looks friendly and hope to find someone in my class who has the same lunch period cuz i refuse to be the one lost and id rather not go sit with a random group of people. Just think of it like this. Either make a friend quick (shouldnt be too hard) or be a loner for the rest of the day still completely nervous. and have to go through it AGAIN the next day. We dont want that do we?

Answer 9

i have glasses and braces too but i'm not a nerd or anything... (but i wear contacts). just be you and make friends.... people don't care if you have glasses and braces cuz nowadays most kids do!

Answer 10

Every single person you saw who looked like they didn't want to be your friend was sitting there with the exact same thoughts going through their heads as you have going through yours right now. Don't worry about how you look. There is no way for you to change it so let it go. Go to school with a good attitude, and when it comes time for lunch, sit where ever you want to. If you sit beside someone just say 'Hi I am ------' and get on with your lunch. People will talk to you, there is no reason for them not to. You will find that all those people who look like enemies will be pleased to see that someone is talking to them, and conversations will get going. You will be fine. Go and have fun!!!   :)

Answer 11

You'll be fine... once your in you'll realize tons of people there are just as shy and nervous as you but deep down want to talk to you and make friends.

As for the glasses and braces thing, i have to laugh and you will to once you see that tons of people have braces and just as many have glasses.   A lot of people don't wear them in corridors etc and just in class for reading/writing but if you need to have them on all the time wear them proud .

Good luck and I hope you have fun on your first day!
