I'm starting a new school and I don't know what to expect ?

Question

I'm 15 and am going into 10th grade.

I used to live in a town with 20,000+ people and now I live in a town with a little over 4,000 people.

I'm not anti social, but I'm pretty shy.

I just need some tips on how to seem like an approachable person..

Answer 1

umm this sounds a little opposite. usually people are scared when they leave the small town for the big city not the other way around. a school with less people are usually much nicer and more personal than a bigger one. you will be fine.

Answer 2

In my life Ive changed schools 7 times, each time in a different country.  One thing i learned is that when going to a small town its both easier and harder.  Its harder because there are many cliques already formed but easier because they are more welcoming.  Relax and accept invitations to birthdays, get together and such because if you don't people will give up and its harder to make friends.  Be nice and accept invitations and youll make friends in no time.

Answer 3

Well just stay what you are.

Expect what you've experienced in your previous school. I believe that someone will help you to associate with others and conform to your new environment.

Don't be scared to face new people around you.

Answer 4

Well i had that problem cause i'm in going into 11. All you have to remember is to just be yourself and i know that cliche. Don't try too hard to be the center of attention but dont be the kid in the corner. If you see someone that you might want to be friends with just talk to them. And if someone talks to you just talk back and see where it goes.

Answer 5

don't be scared. i'm guessing you have survived 15 years of ur life in a big town. this town is much smaller. just be yourself, not somebody fake, because if u r fake, ppl will find out and won't like you and you want people to like you for who u r. smile, be brave, approach people and talk to them a bit, get to know them, but don't be like; "HEY ALL I LOVE YOUSE AND WANNA BE ME FRIEND?" - don't be over the top.

once again, just be yourself, and good luck!
