Answer 3

I recommend this advice for life and not just for high school.  Try to find friends with similar interests as you have and not just friends at the popularity level you wish to achieve.  You can have different sets of friends both in and out of school; just like later in life you will have different friends in and out of your workplace.

One more piece of advice.  Don't panic about anything until you have given yourself at least one chance to try and fail at it.  You could find your best friend on the first day of school and you would have wasted the last month stressing over it.

I graduated from high school in 1994 and am still close friends with a guy I met on our first day of high school.  True story.  

Answer 4

i think that is actually a good thing...

you can have a fresh start

my advice to you is to be friendly and to smile a lot

and you should especially be involved [clubs.. sports..]  

Answer 5

You'll be okay, I doubt ur going to be the only one in this position. All you need to do is start convo with ur classmates. trust me, ull make friends within the first week. Dont worry about it kiddo!!!! Just remember, BE FRIENDLY AND ULL MAKE FRIENDS =]

Answer 6

OMG! Same here! I start high school on August 18! I'm soo nervous...I'm going to an all girls privte school, and all my friends r staying in public except ONE!!!!!! I am so nervous...early today when i was thinking about it i almost threw up! So sorry i cnt give any good advice lol well i wish us both good luck! lol

Answer 7

I'm in the same position and scared to death as well. If you see someone who looks friendly, or seems to have some of the same interests as you(locker photos, backpacks, clothes...w/e you can usually tell), get up the confidence to go up to them and introduce yourself. You'll be fine!

Answer 8

You'll be fine. Just start talking to people. Get to know someone. Other people are going through what you are also.

Answer 9

I was worried about the same thing when i went to Middle school, but dont worry. Its like Preschool or kindergarten. You dont know anyone, but you weren't worried about that, you just wanted friends. Find out what ppl like, ( usually u ca undersand by looking at their backpack, book, shirt, etc.) and try to make friends with someone that looks like they would WANT to be your friend- no use in forcing some one to be ur friend!

Answer 10

The biggest (and most difficult to do) thing is to stay true to herself. NEVER try to be someone else or emulate the popular kids. Think before you act! Pay attention to your studies because that is what dictactes, really, the rest of your life. Make solid, good, supportive friends. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE FRIENDS with someone. Choose likeminded friends. Relax. Realise the teachers are there to help you, not to hinder you. You don't have to be "teacher's pet" to ask for help or have a chat. Work hard, but play hard. Join extracurriculars - not only do colleges look at this when you apply to their school, but it's a great way to meet people and to try new things. Do a lot of service learning - another great thing to have on your collge résumé. Try drama, choir, band. This is the time when you can try anything and everything (legal things that is). You don't need drugs or alcohol to have a good time. Those who do aren't fun people anyway. These will be offered to you, but remember who you are and that you're better than that. Have a fabulous time. High School only happens once!

Answer 11

OMG IM JUST LIKE U!!! I hope u the best.

Answer 12

i went to high school not knowing anyone now as a senior i love my friends and had a good experience overall most of my friends i met through joining extracurricular activities just find something you love then you'll find people that share it with you

there are lots of other people just as scared as you are just be yourself and don't judge people before you know them i'm sure you'll be fine it will go by quickly have fun and good luck
