Answer 1

make a list of everything that makes you proud of yourself and things you value about yourself.  then mount it somewhere you can see it on a daily basis.  you should be happy of who and what you are so celebrate it!  

Answer 2

don't try too hard. be yourself and be honest. smile and try to be friendly. greet people and just relax.

Answer 3

Just Relax and be your self even if your friends make stupid decisons and get in trouble dont follow them you will always make new friends. Just make friends in all of your classes.

Answer 4

Never doubt or question yourself,  trust yourself to make healthy decisions, and accomplish your personal goals, nothing builds confidence more than achievements! Work out, exercise, eat right, get outside more, do things you enjoy. Don't stress about it, just enjoy yourself, and others will want to be around you, because you like yourself and it shows! Be open up to other people.

Answer 5

i didn't actually become confident in myself until my senior year. & about having friends that understand you, trust me, you don't want a person who completely understands you, that would just be creepy. you need somebody to appreciate you. just make an attempt to look your best and be happy with what you have and who you are. when you're walking down the hall just think to yourself, man i look good. that's what i did and it worked for me hehe :)
