How do I handle being a new kid at school

Question

well im going to a new school tomorrow. and I know a few people from band camp and I know a few girls that go there at my church that I am good friends with. but I dont know many guys there at all. like who do I sit with and talk with and stuff?

Answer 1

you need to go up to a random guy who looks moderately tough and punch him in the face, then continue to beat the bejesus out of him. People will know not to mess with you, chicks will think you're badass, and you'll gain much-needed respect. ditch the church and bandcamp bit too. join the football team and learn how to breakdance

Answer 2

try sitting ith the people from yur band camp. if you sit alone, u wont get to talk to people as much, unless they talk to you first.

at most schools, being new means, no friends, so then try to sit with the people you do know.

and eventually people in your class with get to know you, and vise versa, so then you  make new/more friends.

problem solved!

Well, it's tough being the new kid at school.  I used to tell my sister that even though she's shy, no one at the new school knows that, so she can be however she wants to be.  

Since you do know a couple of people, that'll make the transition easier....I suggest sitting with someone you already know.  If you can't find anyone....just look for a table of friendly-looking people, and invite yourself over!  It may take awhile to get used to the new school, but as long as you stay positive, you will definitely be fine.  Best of luck!

I understand what you're going through, I've moved to 7 schools and I'm still not done. It's hard the first few days. If you are confident in yourself, others will believe it. When I moved, I had a low self-esteem, so others thought I had no confidence. But after getting used to moving, I learned new strategies. I often approached people who were in my class. It gave me something to talk about. For you, you have some people you know. So if you ever see them at school, take some time and talk to them. Chances are, when you talk to them, their friends will also talk to you because you have something in common: a common friend. I'm sure if you talk to the people you know already, it'll branch out to their friends, too. Then its your choice on who you'd like to be friends with and who you'd like to sit with.

For the first few days, try to smile at familiar faces and give comments like "hey, you're in my class, right?" or "what do you think of the teacher?" The conversation usually broadens. Hopefully this was helpful!
