High school anxiety? ?

Question

I am VERY nervous for High school.

First of all, only 4 of my friends and I are going to the Catholic high school while the rest of our class is going to the public one. I have friends in other schools, but ive never been with them in a school situation so i dont know if theyll act differently. Of all my friends, some of which are close, i dont have a "best friend". Some of my friends are "party friends" and some are "quiet friends" - i am a bit of both, so you see how that causes differences. So im basically on my own on this one, and i just want to fit in and make friends like anyother person. Another probelm? Im shy and insecure. Please help...

Answer 1

You know what dragged me through the first couple days of HS? I just kept thinking "They must be feeling the exact same as me". Which was scared and shy.

But after the first week, when everyone is settled and more confident, everyone meets everyone and friendships arise.

Just take it easy, don't over do things, don't stick out too much, but definitely be yourself.

You can email if you wanna talk. =)

Answer 2

Haha, just chillax. :3 I went to a Catholic high school (and it was an all-girls' school at that) and I had no friends. There were girls from my school that also were accepted, but they were either old friends I didn't hang out with anymore, or people I didn't talk to.

You'll be fine. You'll make an awesome group of friends over time. :3

Answer 3

Fit in? Why do you want to be one in a flock of sheep-people?

You will make new friends. You can't force it. Worrying about it and being so desperate will lead you to misjudge people and not be yourself.

Concentrate on the books and the rest will come naturally.

Since it's a Catholic school, isn't Jesus your best friend?

Answer 4

Haha I remeber my first day of highschool.

That as like 2 3 years ago. I'm a Senior now

&& highschhol is not like how you see it on TV. If you just hang out someone will come hang out with you. if your sitting by yourself someone else who is sitting by themselves may join you.  You'll be freaked out for the first few days but once you find a couple of people you and those people will eventuall have a routine of meeting each other in the west hall before lunch or by your locker after 2nd period, you jsut gotta let it flow.  

P.S. Dont feeel alone I'm sure you and about 50 other million freshmen feel the same way. Oh and also there's no such thing as freshman fridays.  =]

Answer 5

You'll be fine. In all likelyhood you'll end up making new friends, that's what happens whenever you go to a new school. And I'm sure you'll be just fine with your existing friends. Everything will be alright. Remember that you'll be starting high school with a bunch of other people who are also starting high school for the first time.

Answer 6

When starting high school, there's always a lot of new people who will be just as insecure and nervous as you. Everyone's in the same boat, even if they aren't new. I was like you at the beginning of high school, I was new too. I was really sad that I had to leave my friends. But now I'm halfway done high school and I love my new friends and I can't imagine still being with my middle school friends. I'm glad I moved, maybe you will be too. Be yourself and you'll make friends easily. Good luck!
