OMG Help!!! School starts tomorrow and I'm new!?

Question

ok ive been pretty sure of my self about school until today. i just moved an hour away from a town i lived in all 14 years of my life, so I'm 14 of course. well i start high school tomorrow as a freshman and i dodintnow anyone at all that will be there! how can i make new friends, imI'meally shy and its hard for me to just walk up to peoples and start a coconversationplease help! and can anyone give an idea on how the first day of high school goes as well? thnx!

Answer 1

Just be friendly and enjoy yourself. I didn't know anyone when I started out in high school and all 4 years ended up sucking because I was so awkward and didn't talk to anyone. So have fun or else you're just gonna have a crappy high school life!

Answer 2

Find a friendly looking, down-to-earth group of girls and ask them something. For example: "I'm new in town and I'm not exactly sure where I'm supposed to go." This way, there's definitely a higher probability that they'll ask you to hang out with them. Good luck! And don't worry! Don't stress over something that hasn't even gone wrong yet ;D

Answer 3

Just relax. Be yourself. And stay cool. If you act all nervous in front of people when they're talking to you, (or doing anything else) they'll think you're weird or freaky. You don't want them to think that of you. Just be yourself. I know it takes guts to talk to someone you don't know, but it will pay off. But first, think of what you're going to say first. Think of the stuff you want to talk about or ask that person. Cause you don't want to go like, "Hi! I'm (insert name), and you are? (Person says name) Soooo, um, what's you're favorite subject??"

Don't do that or the person will think you're asking for attention. Just express yourself in a relaxed way. Trust me, after you say hi to whomever, the hard part is over. There's no more pressure. Just talk about anything! Be friendly. See? Not that hard. I was the same too. But after I said hi to someone I didn't know, trust me, you WILL feel good! Just be strong.

Good luck!

Answer 4

well since its your freshman year everyone will be new to the building and wont know where to go either.

poeple wont hate you if you go up and talk to them

but they will think youre a loser if you just stand in a corner and dont talk to anyone.

so make and effort to introduce yourself to several people

Answer 5

go up to someone and ask them there name and stuff thats what i did and now i have tons of friends.  

Answer 6

Well I moved to a new school last year like 30 minutes away from my home town! I am really shy to so you pretty much guess I was pretty scared of the first day of school not to mention nervous!

On the first day I hung out with like three girls in my class I didn't say very much but they introduced me to some of there friends and so on as the days go by I can guarantee you will get more comfortable with ur surroundings and start talking trust me it will be kinda hard to go the WHOLE school year with out talking at all!

Here are some good converstaion starters

"How long have you lived here"

"Do you have any brothers or sisters"

Etc.

But I am really no expert I have only moved one time in my life :)

Hope this helps!

Answer 7

Find out what clubs you can join that inerest you and join quick ... this will help you find some real friends with similar interest instead of loser friends who use and abuse you or laugh at you behind your back. Join some clubs ... that's what I say.

Being shy it's tuff to really make new friends because you have to socialize. Drama club sounds right up your ally as it helps give you a voice or perhaps the school paper or the political end of things treasurer, vp, president all those good things. The more after school programs you join ... the happier you'll be ... trust me. When you finally make a few friends that you like cut back out of the clubs you don't like as much. Be weary of pear pressure as the friends you keep will rub off on you for better or for worse. Good luck.

Ahhh ... do you have a dog? Bring your dog to school on the first day ... that would be so awsome ... all the girls would attack your dog and it will help you socialize ... perhaps you need to go buy or rent a cute dog or borrow from a friend tonight. Stick a cute pink bow or something around it's little head...other girls will go gaga over it. Cute little doggie lol. It will be like show and tell and you'll find other animal lovers. Most animal lovers are pritty good people.

Answer 8

Hey ppl will talk to you like wonder who you are and thats how you make friends trust me

Answer 9

Well i think the best way for you to act will be that you remain quite and ignore any bullys. Yep there are bullys but ignore them. No need to start a co conversation .People will automatically talk with you .But keeping quite doesn't mean that you shouldn't remain confident. If you don't remain confident bullys might bully you even more. Don't be afraid of my answer i am hope you go fine. I just followed these rules and mine went fine so all i have to say is good luck

Answer 10

high school as a freshman puts on alot of pressure...people kill themselves and bring guns 2 school!!!have u ever heard of freshman friday...yea its when all the seniors beat up all the freshmans on friday....too bad for u cause 2morrow is friday hahahah...wait come 2 think of it    im an senior...i better get ready 2 beat up those puny freshmans...

****** freshmans i hate those b*****s when i see them i get mad....good luck 2morrow  hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!

Answer 11

Lucky you start school on a friday! Well you won't be the only new person, believe me. Lots of new people come every year to new schools. In 1st period, just find someone who seems friendly and introduce yourself, and voila you've made a friend.

Answer 12

just think of this as a new way to start fresh!

since no one knows you they will never know that

you were shy. all you have to do is act confident even

if you are not, and sooner or later you will feel confident

and for the whole conversation thing just comment on

their cute outfit or something and go off form there:)

Answer 13

i know exactly what thats like! trust me! all you can do is don't be shy!! you have to put yourslef out there and talk to people....try as hard as you can cause it is the only way....dont be shy!

good luck!

it will get better in time!

Answer 14

just act mysterious and dont talk to anyone

Answer 15

wait your school starts on a friday?

Answer 16

I did that same thing a year ago! My mom decided to be all douchey and moved us from minnesota to colorado! I also started all alone, as a freshman with more than 450 kids in my grade alone! Just be cool. Science helps alot cause you have partners, ya know? And in freshman year they always ask what you did over the summer so be like "I just moved here" and then people will be like, woah she needs a friend. Sounds lame but I did it and it worked!

Answer 17

freshman year is a perfect time to move!!

trust me.. its much better than the middle of sophomore year!

since youre a freshie, theres plenty others who also want to start new friendships.

itll be easier than you think.

just be you & join lots of clubs, sports, etc.

go to the games, dances, and anything else.

=D

best of luck.  

Answer 18

its god that your going into freshman year

a lot of the people in your classes wont know people either

with all the middle schools coming together in one school

just remember a lot of people are in the same boat

and dont be shy

:D

Answer 19

sweety calm down!bein' a freshman is a really great oppurtunity.see thats how your gonna make your first impression in highschool!dont you remember gradeschool?if you were cool && popular one year then every year after that was cake.

odds are;you wont be tha only new//shy//freshman.if you notice someone else all alone then go sit by them because they are probably shy also && if you start talkin' to them then youre probably gonna hit it off. :)

because they might have siblings who have alot of great friends && if you get to kno them then you probably know tha rest,take my advice && dont give into pear pressure ha.

GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 20

People will probably want to talk to you because they don't know you and have never seen you before. Just be polite and kind.  

Answer 21

usually the first day of school is  a short day, but i say you should take it easy act strong, it's better that you're starting as a freshman because a lot of people will be new to the school too, do not try to fit in, it will not work, better join a club or organization find about them in student services( this is the part that will change your status from outsider to actually a really important pillar of the school, so do it!!! join an organization in school), if you do not have a map of the school get there early and get to know it, when in the classroom if you have any questions ask, you have to leave the shyness behind you are on your own now, don't fall for anyone and don't tell any secrets trust me there are no secrets in high school, you do not need to tell a lot about yourself unless someone is reaaalllly interested, befriend some upperclassmen they are most likely to help you than other freshmen or soph.  

Answer 22

Your Key is confidence

Im suree you will have aranged seats with someone in the class room ask to borrow something of them like a pen etc. then begin conversation ask questions about the school throw in a through jokes try make them laugh :)

soon as you meet your first friend you will soon be introduced to others
