Answer 2

Omg. Don't be nervous. You will make tons of friends in high school! Im a sophomore in high school and its really fun and great so far. Don't worry about anything. And it doesn't matter what people think about you. Ignore them, their probably just jealous of you. (:

Answer 3

What's important is what YOU think about you.

Why did your classmates hate you last year?  There has to be a reason. Try and find out then change  Maybe a new hairdo and make up done lightly will make you feel better. Try to be friendly to some of the new people that come to the HS like you.  Don't be catty and gossip, no drama.  Be you and be More outgoing. Join some clubs and sports. Don't worry about the last year girls, there will be so many new kids there.

Good luck!

Answer 4

don't try so hard to be liked... people like the realness within a person. Don't be so self conscious, people who really care what people think about them are willing to change who they are so people can approve of them. You need no one's approval to be you. Be confident in everything that you do and don't be so scared to start high school. Freshman year is the best year (besides senior) so make the most out of it. This is a fresh start, new people = new friends.

good luck! =]  

Answer 5

Dont worry about starting hightschool.

sounds like I'm in the EXACT same situation as you, except I actually dont care what people have to say.

you'll learn over time to just ignore the bad and listen to the good.

Answer 6

Hi the best thing to do is you need to build up your self esteem and more confidence. Kids can be really cruel and say mean things but you need to think positive about yourself. Kids will usually be mean to people who they see are being hurt by their actions and words so try to ingore them. Maybe even write your feelings in a journal because that can help.

Dont be nervous because they are so many people in high school and im sure you will meet some great people =)

Answer 7

lighten up, have some confidence in yourself; - they hate you two months ago, doesn`t mean they`ll hate you now. - everyone changes when school starts.

- i dont care what people think of me, but ... sometimes, it just gets to me, i dont care if someone call me fat, or ugly, or a "drunk verison of tila teuqila", i only care, if one of my closest friends says that ....
