High school soon......joy?

Question

So I have this big feeling in my gut that's this year's gonna suck, same as I always do for every year, and guess what? Turns out I'm always right.

So this year...I'm gonna TRY to be a little more positive about the school year. First off, it's basically the same people from our intermediate and middle school, so I know pretty much everyone, I guess maybe a quarter of the kids I probably won't know, so how can I make a fresh start and show people the real me?

Second, my friends are pretty much 2-faced now, so I'm gonna try to avoid them and make new ones. Thing is, I just don't make friends easily, cause I'm really shy at first...so I'll probably just sit at lunch by myself...does this give off the wrong impression?

Third, I'm going shopping tomorrow. I only have a few shirts left, since all of mine are way too big now since I got skinnier, and all my jeans are about to fall off. I have about $150, maybe my mom will put in some more since I kinda need it, so will that be enough to last for a little while?

Fourth, my classes are everywhere around the school, and I swear I'm gonna get lost, then come to class the latest and have everyone stare me when I walk in. And I have NO classes with anyone I know(for right now at least) so nobody can help me out, what do I do about that?

Fifth, how can I try to be more positive about this year.....?

Long question, sorry, but thanks!

Answer 1

i am in about the same boat you are..

i have 2 bestfriends and 1 is totally ditching me for the other so i'm staying away from her.

and i dont have many classes with any of my friends either

and i definitely don't have lunch with anyone

but i'm going to just look my nicest and find anyone in the school that will hang with me haha

Answer 2

my freshman year was pretty cool so idk what to tell you but im sure youll be fine just dont be too shy otherwise you wont have any friends and your 2 faced friends maybe you should keep them until you make new ones just so your not alone i cant wait for school its gonna be awesome

Answer 3

Well, freshman year no one really knows anyone so you'll make friends quickly. You don't have to sit by yourself, if you meet someone during you classes before lunch then see if they have the same lunch as you and meet up. Or, if you recognize a freshman just kinda go up and see if you can si with them. Sitting alone is cool too, but don't look so sad about it. It happens to most people. Also since you lost alot of weight, it might be easier to find clothes now, and since you are smaller now, you can buy more clothes for less money. Most companies sell clothes for smaller people so it'll be easy. Just look for the back to school sales and stuff. Oh and NO FRESHMAN really knows where the classes are. Did you guys have an orientation? Then maybe you'll now where some things are. You'll get used to the school in a day or 2. Plus there are upperclassmen everywhere so you can ask them. Most will help you. For most high schools, the freshman start a day earlier than the rest of the school, so you'll be in teh school, going to you class among other freshman. you';; make friends in each class. You need to have a more positive outlook and Smile =]. The teachers won't really mind your tardiness the first couple of days. You'll be fine. Enjoy High School. It's an experience you won't get back. =]

Update: If you're not going to ask an upperclassmen then as a teacher in the halls for directions. And stop being so negative, you're not going to get anywhere with that attitude. Two boys just said you were 'hot' so im pretty sure you'll get a boyfriend eventually.

Answer 4

I'm exactly where you are. Execpt I have a stalker!! :'(

anyway, i'm just gonna be totally positive! idk who i will sit with at lunch either, but sit with someone u think u might get along with. dont sit with the cheerleaders(unless u r one) or the dancers or whatev. idk. idk idk idk i'm gonna look at these answer later maybe i'll learn too, lmbo

Answer 5

omg i am so so happy you are so positive!

thats a really good start and im also really happy you decided to stay away from those friends, alot of ppl dont do that good job

dont be awkward by being fake. be real with people and speak your mind. dont care what anyone thinks about you by being CONFIDENT. being confident will give you all the advantage in the world, and people will want to be around you. but dont forget to be nice! by confident i mean being comfortable with yourself and what you think, not conceited or anything.

when you buys clothes, make sure you 1)you feel comfortable in them 2) you will wear it more than once and 3)you like it

this is my strategy with buying clothes: pick up EVERYTHING that cathes your eye, and maybe something you wouldnt conventionally wear too, because the worst that can happen is you dont like it after you try it on. dont go in a fitting room with less than 4 or 5 things, preferably more.

the whole being scared about being late thing is your biggest problem, everynoe is looking at you because you opened the door and they want to see who  it is, so what? you would look too, and dont walk in and be all like, sorry, sorry!

be confident and happy with yourself, and sometimes its an advantage coming in late because you stand out. if the teacher freaks out, dont worry because you know you did nothing wrong, you had to walk a long way and its just the first day

overall, DONT let what other people say, or what you think theyre thinking, dictate what you think about yourself. that is very important. be inviting and friendly, and good luck! :)

Answer 6

Your hot. I'd be your best friend.  

Answer 7

Just be nice. Do not burn any bridges its just a stupid thing to do.  Go in and just deal with one thing at a time. If you predict bad things then that is what will happen.  Don't concern yourself with anyone else worry about you and just keep out of the drama and be nice.  Dont hate anyone at least not to their faces.  Think about what you say and if it should not be said out loud.  Just calm down, because worrying wont get you anywhere

Answer 8

didnt read ur questions its too long but ur hot ull do fine lol

Answer 9

First of all everybody gets nervous the first day of high school. Its completely normal. When ever you start thinking of something negative try to think of another thing positive right away. (i've found that in the worse situation there is always at least ONE good thing) You should also be sure to stay organized. Get a binder or folder for every class and put everything the teachers give you in that binder/folder. This will help you get your stuff together for test and finals and such.

As for making a fresh start try getting some clothes you wouldn't normally wear or get a new haircut. Getting organized also always makes me feel like i'm starting over. Set goals for yourself this year and write them down. If you want to get at least a 3.0 put that down. If you want to make some new friends write that. Refer to the list often so you don't forget whats on there and check off as you go. Its pretty easy to make friends even if you are shy. Try to make it your goal to talk to at least one new person in every class. Just say something simple like "i love that top! where's you get it?" or you could just simply introduce yourself. Its best if you just talk to the people you're seated by in your classes so you don't really have to approach anybody out of the blue. If you do this, then i guarantee you'll find at least one of those people you have lunch with. Just ask them if they'd mind you sitting with them. Most people won't say no. (and even if they do, who cares? you wouldn't want to be friends with that kind of person anyways and shes probably 2faced just like your old friends)

As for the shopping just get what YOU like. Try not to just get things because you want to fit in. Being unique is good. Unless of course you like clothes that a lot of the people in your school wear. 150 should be good to last awhile. Just be sure to get a lot of items that can go with lots of stuff.

As for the getting lost in the school: go check out the school before the school year begins. Bring your schedule and go through to each of your classes. This will give you a good idea on where they all. Repeat the process a few times just to be sure. If worse comes to worse you can just ask a teacher or somebody in the hallway. You're a freshmen so i'm sure the teachers wont mind if you're late the first day.

Just remember high school is suppose to be fun. Make as many friends as possible and don't be somebody you're not. You should focus on your grades too of course. (since these grades are what decided the colleges you go to)

good luck, you'll be great!

Answer 10

be positive and try to be social and make friends.

Answer 11

Yes, be positive, that is good! Also, from what your picture shows, you are very pretty, for real! So why would you worry about being the last one in class?

1st-Smile!! a smile is the easiest way to break the ice. If you are walking past someone that you dont know and they happen to look at you, SMILE!! It puts people at ease, and makes them less nervous around you.

2nd-Its perfectly ok to sit by yourself at lunch. BUT pleease make sure that you do aet in the cafe, because that gives you the oppertunity to meet people. When I was new at school, I ate alone in the hall, and lets say I has a hard time getting to know people. Also, do extra curricular activities. Ones that you might like, like art club or drama, even sports help you meet people!

3rd-Yes, if you go to the right shops, you can get plenty of good cloths. Go to places like Marshalls or TJ maxx, also charlotte ruess has really inexpensive cute cloths. After that, If you want the Abercrombie or AE look, get a few sweaters r tees to pull togeather the look.

4th-Be approachable!! And who cares if you dont make a ton of new friends in the first day or even month? It takes a while to get to know people well, so dont feel bad about yourself if you ont find your group soon. Just be nice, and people will like you! For real, and dont give a **** if people are rude-cause they dont matter.

5th-give yourself a break, like go shopping on the weekends or treat yourself to manicure or a movie or something you like to keep your spirit up! Take it day by day, dont feel rushed or discouraged by time. This year wont be bad. Focus on what you want to do for your future career, that can be fun.

I hope these strategies work, Good luck!!

Answer 12

You are getting worried over nothing in my opinion. I'm going into 10th grade next year but I can remember how scary the first day of freshman year was.

But I took it one class at a time. There were cute boys in each class :P Some nice girls in each class too. I could spot the drama queens right away so I avoided them. Good decision because they ended up causing trouble later in the year!!!

And classes aren't THAT hard to find. If you have orientation and already have your schedule, you can look around for them ahead of time.

As far as clothes, don't try too hard on the first day. Dress how you plan to everyday. Trust me you can sense when someone desperately wants to be cool. Its stupid. Don't over due your hair and makeup. You look good how you do in your picture! :) But you can change your look a bit if you want to because no one will care or notice, just as long as it isn't too dramatic.

Make some new friends defiantly! Like I said avoid the drama queens. Don't judge them by looks, you can tell by talking to them right away. Don't spread gossip, corny I know, just don't. Don't be a drama queen yourself either. You are at school to learn and socialize. Don't make a b*tch of yourself.

And for boys, whatever you do, DO NOT give in to dressing up like a little s***k. Yes you will get boys easily but people will say sh*t behind your back. So basically a short summary is avoid drama even if it sounds interesting.

Most importantly be positive! It really isn't as bad as it sounds!

Answer 14

Never get a boyfriend?  Who are you kidding?  You are cute.  You remind me of the character of Elaine on Seinfeld.  As far as being more positive, can't help you there.  I hated school up until college.  Once I was in college...I had total freedom.  Tough it out until then.

Answer 15

"Believe this.  No girl is a Loner in high school."

"Everybody eventually find somebody to 'Kick It'

with.  No guarantees betrayal won't happen."

"First, the 'cocky' athletes must give you 'a try'."

"Only because you're pretty enough, some may

treat you as if 'it is a priviledge to be with them'."

"Then comes the 'annoying Dweebs'.  Whom

expect you to have sympathy for their Long,

shy, direct eye contact, irritating, stares."
