Please help with my back to school problem?

Question

Okay, school starts September 3rd where I live.

Everyone in my school got their school schedule.

Yesterday, I called, text messaged and instant messaged every single one of my friends, and it turns out that none of my friends have the same lunch period as me.

You might think it isn't a big deal, but it is, lunch is the time when all friends get together and socialize, I don't want to sit in a lunch table and eat by myself because I will most likely cry my eyes out.

Me and my friends are going to the school orientation to see if I can switch my lunch period to 4th period{ because most of my friends have it that period}

But I'm worried if my school says that they won't change it.

I'm shy around people that I don't talk to, so making friends at lunch won't be as you think, can you please help me?

Answer 1

OMG I had this exact problem last year... What I did was find someone who had my same 4th period (because that's the class right before lunch) and find someone to sit with there. Just wait until you get to the class you have right before lunch, that will help you find a new friend and someone to sit with at lunch...

And what state do you live in where you start school Sep. 3rd. We go back on the 25th here in Texas

Answer 2

I've had similar problems, and it stinks to be alone.  Try to explain your situation like you are here.  If that doesn't help, nothing will.  School is cruel, sometimes.  Okay, almost ALL the time.

Answer 3

i had the same problem when i went to middle school...all my friends were on different break and lunch time with me...but i ended up making friends with the people who were in my classes and with the same lunch time because i was with them all the time..chances are you will make lots of new friends. i am guessing that there are a lot of people at your school since there is more than one lunch time. and the people in your classes will most likely be on the same lunch time as you. just be outgoing and active in class and during breaks and i am sure you will make lots of new friends. don't be afraid to be out there and talk to new people and make new friends..be confident and you'll attract friends like flies haha

Answer 4

Sitting alone at lunch always sucked. You may not be able to get your lunch changed and I would kind of be surprised if they did change it. I would find out if your friends friends have the same lunch period and make more friends:) I know it's never as easy as it sounds but you just have to start talking to people. Find out who is in your lunch period during classes. If you can't change it then you gotta work with it.  

Answer 5

sounds like the perfect opportunity to 1) overcome your shyness and 2) make new friends and 3) work on becoming more popular because of #2

get over it.

Answer 6

Good question..... I think you should fight a really good argument with the lunch supervisor or something. if not try to arrange another class together with your friends or try to meet at recess. Also try to get over shyness and try to make new friends

Answer 7

Ask your mother to talk to the guidance counselor. They're usually the ones who make the schedules. Find out which of your friends is doing better in a subject than you are and use that as an excuse for you two to have the same or similar schedules. Tell your mother that it would be a great idea for you two to swap notes during lunch. Mom talks to the guidance counselor and BAM!!! 4th period lunch.

Better do well in that subject, tho! Otherwise mom will figure out she got hoodwinked!

Answer 8

I have the same problem. I have a different lunch as my best friend, and I keep going to my counselor and he tells me come friday, monday, next week. He said they should be making a new english class this week, so if they won't, I'm gonna have to ask my mom to call them. They usually won't change it for you unless you p**s and moan about it and if they still say no ask your mom.

Answer 9

by all means try to change it. on the off chance that it doesnt work, mingle around. thats one of the biggest things bout school, meeting new people. get over the shyness, if u dont then ull probably get labeled something not good

Answer 10

You will find someone you know from another class. I know it is scary...I remember being in school and worrying. If you go to lunch with a class you are in during 4th period, make a friend in that class. Guess what.... many other people in that class are probably just as nervous about having no one to sit with!  

Answer 11

i'm just like you when it comes to being with my friends. i'm very shy around people i don't know. so 1st thing is see if you can change lunches. if u can't don't be too scared. if you have nice people at your school some people will just come sit with you or invite you to their table. this happened to me when i started a new school. or on your 1st day search for say people in your classes and ask them to come sit with you.

Answer 12

well you can either be that kid that sits by herself or meet some new people, doesn't really matter either way, kid stuff

Answer 13

Your school counselor may be able to  switch some of you but not all of you..

Worked at my daughters school

Good Luck and have a Good School Year

Answer 14

ok hun life isn't fair, you'll get over it.
