High School and Friends....?

Question

I started high school today :) I know this sounds naive, but I really thought at like my lunch table I would have more people sitting with me and my 3 close friends. It is always the four of us. There is no doubt in my mind that we will be friends all through high school. And I do know that it is "quality" more than "quantity". But will I make more friends in high school? It is only the first day... but will I? I know its kind of a dumb question, but high school is soo different and I am kind of scared.

Answer 1

Dont worry. you will. Just slowly start talking to more and more people, then you'll slowly gain more friends.  

Answer 2

alright honey lemme help you.

your 4 close friends will make more friends, hence bring more girls into your table, etc. your table will grow as long as you and your main table mates make more friends. when they bring their friends into the table, you'll make more friends naturally.

thats how the whole lunch table thing works in highschool.

Answer 3

Ah yeah, course you will. You'll have a load of people that your on 'chat' terms with anyway, and people that aren't necessarily your good frinds but that you would sit beside in a class if none of your other friends were there.

My school (the biggest school in Ireland) is to sh*t to have lunch tables, so people have to stand to eat, or go out to town and buy their lunch, its ridiculous.

You will make good friends too. I'm 17 and in my last yr of school and I have 2 friends that I still hang out with since playschool when we were 3 and 4. I also have a guy best friend that I met in Secondary/High school. (by the way, I'm a girl, don't mind the avatar, I was messin around with it and don't know how to change it now!)

You may also lose friends, so be prepared for that. A lot of people change drastically when they enter secondary school. I had a best friend and she went completly mental when she went into secondary school. Seriously, like she was one of my best friends, part of the group, and she started hanging around with scumbags, turned weird and never said hello to me or smiled or anything. If your friends lack self confidence, beware of drastic changes in personality to try and fit in to what they see as the 'safest' group.

You may also just grow apart from some people, others will replace them, and most of your friends, if they are stable, you will probably keep them 'til the end.

Good luck!!
