Answer 1

you have heard this a thousand times just be yourself !!!!!!!!!!!!! it's the only way. if you try to be someone your not you end up looking like a jerk most of the time because you have to stop and think about what your going to do and say. that's to much pressure! good luck,mike

Answer 2

That's too bad for you and your school. Well, you should smile a lot. Be polite to the teachers or adults. Help out friends, or even people you don't know. Be open, don't just stick with a group. I'm sure you'll do fine at the new school. Hope this helps

Answer 3

~~I feel for  you cause changing schools sucks and especially so in your senior year. However, hopefully going to college is in your future so here will be good practice. If you are a little shy, you will come across as rude or stand-offish. So you have to force yourself to smile and be outgoing. Of course good conversation starters are, How long have you been in this area, or what classes do you have. Just try and strike up conversations wherever there is a chance. Friendly smiles warms everyone up. Asking questions so people can talk about themselves is always the best thing. You will have plenty of friends quickly. Have fun!~~

Answer 4
