Nervous about my first day in High School?

Question

Well, Freshman year starts in 8 days, and I'm getting really nervous. None of my friends from Middle School are going to the same High School that I am going to.. so I'm worried I might have a little trouble fitting in, making friends, etc.

Also, I heard that the transition from Middle School to High School is a pretty huge one. Does anyone have any tips to help me overcome my nervousness/anxiety?

Answer 1

When you get to school the first thing you should look for is people looking at you or people who you hear have the same interest. Go over anf find common grounds. Then start a conversation. if you are lucky to be in class with one of the people in your conversation then chat up a storm but if you don't get in any class with them chat as much as you can at lunch. Just don't run your mouth too long. Conversation is the best start and make sure to have a little confidence. some people have the no care type of personality but that's for them. If that goes for you then just stand there and look around dumb founded and wait for a curious person to come and chat with you. Its also good to find someone else who's friends aren't going with them to your highschool. Talk with one of them. You'll get along from common ground but make sure that if they aren't interested in something you are interested in don't support them or yourself-don't go against them even if you really believe in your side- switch the topic of the conversation. There is no need to make an enemy on the first day. GL!

Yeah i have the same thing but im going into 10th grade at the same school.  Its normal to feel nervous before doing anything new.  And the adjustment between middleschool and highschool is minor.  Highschool is way better then middle school.  You get sooooooo much more freedom.  You will make all new friends its gonna suck the first day i'm not gonna lie but you will adjust fine and make new friends.  Its time for a fresh start.  You will be fine! just relax! :] You can do it  

Answer 3

Accept the fact that you're about 200% normal.  I can still remember the fear ands loneliness when I first walked into my high school for the first time, even though it was decades ago.  By graduation the problem was that I'd probably never see many of the very good friends I was graduating with.

You'll do just fine - trust me.  (Almost every other student is worrying about the same things you are.)

Answer 4

It's a natural thing to be nervous on your first day of H.S. , but you will be just fine. Just make sure you walk confident, with your head up like you are a strong person. Don't seem scared and timid. Be positive, and think positive and your day will be POSITIVE. Good Luck Freshman. And SMILE
