Answer 2

Be yourself and talk to people. Ive been in a lot of school but always in the same town this summer i moved to and im going into 9th

Answer 3

be yourself and be nice and whoever is nice back say iam (your name) and then yea and then say hey lets sit at lunch and then that person will sit with you and probably with that persons friends and there then after you have them as friends try with new pepole and yea good luck

Answer 4

Go up to someone and say "hello." and they will say "hey are you new? I'm (their name.)" So, just keep talking and you'll be friends!

Answer 5

Take a minute to relax and remember to breath. Everyone is nervous on the first day of school. Remember to be yourself when meeting new people. Try to be outgoing and friendly to everyone. Start with saying hi. Try to find something in common to talk about such as movies, what you did over the summer, tv shows, what you do on your free time. Hope you have a good first day of school and that you meet a lot of new friends!  

Answer 6

I moved when I was 15 and let me tell you, it was hard.  Try, try ,try to be as friendly as possible.  That is your best bet.  Get into sports or some sort of club.  Good luck.  

Answer 7

i completely understand i want though the same exact thing a few time im in 9th grade my advise is to just relax and be your self and dont be shy but dont be to outgoing

Answer 8

1) At lunch, eat with a book in front of you so you can pretend you are reading when you start to get uncomfortable.  Otherwise be sure that you are looking around the room, making eye contact and smiling a little.

2) Find something about someone that you sincerely like.  For example, if you like someone's  shirt, say, "I like your shirt.  Where did you get it?"  When they tell you, say something like, "Oh cool, where is that?  I am new to this town."  You may not become best friends with this person right away, but you can say "hi" next time you see him/her.  A friendship can slowly, and naturally, build from there.  DON"T PICK SOMEONE THAT YOU KNOW IS THE POPULAR KID AND YOU JUST WANT TO GET TO KNOW FOR THAT REASON. Be yourself and pick someone who you would really like to get to know.  While you get a chance to start over, you are not someone completely new - so be yourself, just "new and improved" if you want.

3) Be positive!  Remember to laugh at yourself.  Remember to treat yourself well and cut yourself some slack.

Best of luck to you! :)

Answer 9

well just be yourself!!

Answer 10

it's ok! don't stress!

just dress nicely,and when you walk through those doors,just act like you have been going there for years! don't show anyone that your scared,because that will obviously show them that you are in fact a newbie. trust me!

also,when you walk into your classes,try to sit next to someone that you think looks friendly,and say hey! she'll probably comment you on your top,and the next thing you know,you two will hit it off!

she may even introduce you to some of her friends,and then you'll be part of a group! easy as 1-2-3!

just walk right in with a positive attitude,and you'll make it through your first day feeling like you've been going there since the 2nd grade!

good luck! and have a GREAT first day! =)

Answer 13

Answer 14

be urself, choose ur friends carefully, dont be mean, pray to god that nothing can happen to u tomorrow that u and him cant handle

Answer 15

Well If you were popular at your old school, sit with the populars, Usually schools always have the same social scheme. like you have the emos, populars, geeks, etc... so try and pick out the group which was most like the one at your old school. Good luck!!

Answer 16

I hope your funny. I was in a new school and I made little jokes and stuff like that. But since you have no friends since your in a different school I suggest you ask for like a sheet of paper and build your way up to a conversation.

Answer 17

just judge the best you can, don't be afraid to wave at people and say hi!

many of them will wave back!

and talk to anybody that's around you, and hopefully you'll strike up a good conversation and make some friends!

Answer 18

OMG!!!! I have moved eight times and the longest I ever stayed anywhere was when I stayed in the same place from 2nd grade to the end of fifth grade. When my dad died though, my mom wanted to move where my grandparents lived because there are three of us (my two younger brothers and I). I had just gotten my braces, Herbst, AND top and bottom expanders. I could barely talk! But before that, I was really popular--I was friends with the popular SIXTH GRADERS!! (I was in fifth grade so that was the hugest deal ever), my dad had a very high ranking job at 3M so we made a ton of money and I lived in a humungo house. But then everything changed when he died and I moved to the new town.

It was the end of fifth grade and I felt ridiculously self-concious and unconfident. Not only did my dad just die, I had moved to a new town where I was no longer popular and I had to move away from my best friend and we were honest to God like sisters so if you can imagine your sister dying it was basically like that (she pretty much lived at my house--I won't go into details of why), I also had to move away from my big house that finally felt like home (nowhere ever really felt like home except my grandparents because we would go there every weekend no matter where we lived throughout my entire life), and with all that stress I also had my braces so I was pretty much completely unconfident, not to mention that it was the end of the year which is such a weird and akward time to move.

So the first day of school for me was, obviously, horrible. I remember sitting at my desk as the class slowly accumulated until it was almost 8:45, and all eyes were glued on me. My teacher, Mr. Goings, said that there was this girl named Alysa who was excited to meet me, which made me feel a little better, but still.

Okay, ANYWAYS, the first days of school there were absolutely horrific. But forget about that because it is unimportant. When I started middle school, (this is important), I was so nervous that I remember being at sixth grade orientation and feeling like I was going to puke so bad that I made my mom leave with me while the principal was telling us about middle school. Looking back on it, I think that I may have had some psychological issues (not like that I was going crazy, but I just got myself so worked up about starting that I constantly felt like I was sick) well that sounds pretty weird but anways. I hung around Alysa and her friends, but it was pretty obvious that they didn't really like me. I felt like i was just following them around. That whole year felt absolutely miserable and everyday I felt like I wanted to cry. I know I should have been more outgoing, but I was afraid that people wouldn't like me and would just say that I was annoying and trying too hard to be friends with them. So basically, I just kept to myself that year and only made about three friends.

During the summer of sixth to seventh grade, a lot of things changed for me. Actually, I changed my attitude, so everything felt better. I told myself that I should just open up and be who I am. Obviously it's not that easy, but I just worked at it. Over the summer, I got my Herbst and expanders off but not my braces, I tanned, got my hair cut, worked out, and hung out with the few friends I had and, while it sounds weird to actually say out loud, practiced being outgoing with them. When seventh grade started, I felt more confident. Not neccesarily because I looked bettter, but because i had a better attitude. I told myself that if I just be myself, other people will like me for who I am.
