I am afraid i won't be able to make friends freshmen year ?

Question

i don't know anybody at this highschool, and the first day is the 3rd so i am starting to get worried. i made it onto varsity tennis and i can play the piano so how can i use this to make friends, or just how should i go about making friends. in my old middle school i was a loner and hated being shy every second. i just don't want to spend another year alone.

Answer 1

First of all, don't worry. This is VERY TYPICAL for most freshman.

You have some great skills that can help you meet new people. Tennis and piano will be a great opportunities to meet new people who have the same interests. I ran cross country, and i know most sports do a great job of bonding with the teams. The upper class room will throw team parties, exercise together, and will always give a friendly "hello" to you in the hallways. That's what being part of a team is for. They will always be there for you especially your coach.

On your first day tell yourself "I'm going to introduce myself to at least one person." This will build your confidence and open yourself to others. Before long, you will know most of your freshman class.  

You may run into people you don't like, but don't let them bother you. HAVE CONFIDENCE, and start talking to your fellow freshman... Just remember you are in the same boat as the other freshman.
