SCHOOL QUESTION!!! NEED HELP! ?

Question

Hey im going into grade nine, into a school with 1500 kids. The morning alone is grade nines alone just so that every thing works out a little better. Im SO incredibly nervous about making friends! I mean, how do I approch them? What can I even say without sounding like a complete idiot? Also, my sis told me ( she used to go there ) that you have the choice to pick a locker partner or get one chosen.. Would it be so weird to like go to a random person and ask to be locker partners? School is int 4 days and im stressing like crazy!! Any advice???

Answer 1

just say "hey i'm (name)" if they respond that's cool .. time for a conversation. if people look lonely and nervous go up to them and say hello hey should be happy for the company even if your already talking to someone invite someone over, and introduce them to your new found friend.

if they don't say "no need to be rude i was just making conversation"

works for me!!

the more people you say hello to the more friend groups you will have an opition of joining. make sur eyou talk to lots of people so you find the right group of friends for you.

Answer 2

The first piece of advice I can give is to be yourself! I know that you can't stop stressing...it's normal. But if you are yourself you will make friends naturally in your classes.

I wouldn't approach anybody at random for locker partners. Why don't you try to find someone who looks like they are stressing out too and ask them! Just go to your first class and be yourself, introduce yourself to some people, and say, "Hey by the way, do you have a locker partner?" That should work.

Good luck and enjoy the first day of the best 4 years of your life!

Answer 3

If you know someone going there you can ask them to be your locker partner.

Also, getting one chosen can be a good thing because it will give you a chance to meet someone new and maybe even become friends with them.

As to making friends in class or at lunch, find some one who also seems alone because they probably dont have friends either. Just go up to them and say "Hi my name is ...... What yours?" You can also say stuff like "I like your shirt or bag or whatever" Just try to keep a conversation going. You can find some things in common most likely.

Hope i help :]

Answer 4

I remember going into grade 9 for the first time and I know it can be really nerve racking. I know it sounds corny but just be yourself and don’t be afraid to go up to people. Everyone else is just as nervous as you are even if they don’t show it. I’m sure someone would be thrilled if you came up to them and asked if they wanted to be locker partners with you. It would probably be a big comfort to them. Whatever you do don’t worry, making friends won’t be as daunting as it seems. My first day I asked someone if I was in the right class, we sat beside each other and have been friends ever since. This goes to show you that you shouldn’t be afraid to approach people; you never know what is going to happen. Everyone is in the same situation and having the same feelings. You don't need to worry about it. You'll be fine.
