So nervous about going to school!?

Question

I'm starting 8th grade tomorrow and I'm super nervous! I don't want to think about it, and I'm really nervous. I don't know what to wear, and I hate the way I feel right now. On top of being so nervous I have no classes with my friends! I don't know who is in my classes and I'm just worried it's going to be all new people. How do I stop being so shy?

What can I do to relax?

Answer 1

Trust me there will be so many kids feeling the way you are now, I would just go in there with your fav. outfit and your head up high.

Answer 2

Hey try and relax a little.  Go get some ice-cream.  Don't stress about the first day too much.  Sure, it's nervewracking but you will get to see your new classes and teachers, and who is in your classes.  Even though you don't have friends in your classes, you will meet new people and become friends with them.  Start a conversation with them and compliment them, sit with them at lunch and get to know them.  Calm down...the first day will be over quickly.  Like I said, go get some ice-cream and watch tv..and go to bed early! Good luck tomorrow! = )  

Answer 3

It's not bad and being around all the new people is fun you meet some really cool people and anything you wear will be fine just don't worry about it. Call a friend see what their thinking or watch a good tv show or listen to music but whatever you do don't worry cause it'll be fine! :)

Answer 4

I'm pretty sure 8th grade isn't that bad as anyone thinks. 8th grade is just like 7th grade almost, you'll probably meet new friends, get a little bit more homework, try and study a lot, be prepared for the 1st day. Bring in some or all of your school supplies in, and really, calm down. There is nothing to worry about, and if you have any questions just ask your teacher\guidance counselor, etc.

I'm also very nervous since this school year is my 1st year of middle school.

Relax, and get a good night's sleep and a good breakfast every day.

Good luck!

Answer 5

don't stress about your outfit.  wear your favorite clothes.  the more comfy you feel, the more relaxed you'll be.  jeans and a cute top are yoru best bet.  and just because you'll be stressing about how you look, doesn't mean that everyone else will be judging you.  it's all gonna turn out fine.  i was sooooo nervous when i went to my first year of college last fall.  i was going 3,000 miles away from home and i didn't know ANYBODY.  but i talked to my friend who was going into his junior year of college and he told me something that really helped.  He said that going to school was a game.  your goal was to make the most friends possible.  whoever has the most friends wins.  it's totally silly, but true.  you end up winning out in the end.  just go into class with a smile on your face and your head held high.  talk to people.  many of them will be feeling the same as you.  you may not have classes with your BFF's, but there's gonna be people you know and people you're friendly with and everything will end up fine.

Answer 6

dont sweat it, the first few days r gonna be awkward but ur gonna make friends fast, just show confidence. and in my situation its worse cuz im going to be a senior in hs and i moved from ny to va and i have no clue about anyone in the new skool. i should be freaking out.

Answer 7

Ahhh, 8th grade..... that was a good year. I'm going to ninth grade. Well, just be yourself, be willing to talk to some new people, and don't be afraid of rejection. As for your clothes, wear something that's totally you. Like, for me, it'd just be an Aero shirt and a pair of jeans (lol, that's basically what EVERYBODY wears). Make sure you look cute for the guys!

Answer 8

Get  a life you need to learn how to be outgoing and have some confidence. who cares about your stinkin friends have FUN!!

Answer 9

just walk into the room with your head up and people would look at you as a confident person and they wont mess with you and relax everything will go just find everyone would be quiet in their first day of school...... but remember you got keep yo head Up and never let no one bring u down

Answer 10

First breath in, breath out! Its okay to feel that way. Half the people in your school feel that way too! Don't try to think of the bad things about 8th grade, try to think of the positives! Think of classes you have with other people you know. Now, for being shy, just be yourself! Don'tt try and impress others, anddon'tt get a seat in the back of the class, be in the middle so people know you aren'tt completely scared on the first day!

  Now, for the clothes, put together something fun! You have to have some shorts or pants you never wore! Put it together with a cute (but not black or yellow cause its too bright or dull) t-shirt!  Earings and some cute make-up and your be fine!

Just remember be bright and try to make friends! Hope this helped. Enjoy tomorrow! Good Luck!!!

Answer 11

Dude...chill out. You shouldn't be worried about starting 8th grade. Trust me. You'll be crying non-stop your senior year because you don't wan to graduate. Meeting new people is good. Don't worry. You'll meet someone.

Answer 12

Think about the fact that you'll have a super opportunity to meet new people and make even more friends. Remain focused on the class and so on that'll ease some of your nerousness. after a few days you'll start to feel better not so nervous around the new class mates or teachers.  

Answer 13

Put yourself out there and if the new people don't like you...it didn't  matter anyway...you wanna know why? cuz ur money, Ur Money!!! Now go and make me proud!

Answer 14

Okay well im going to grade eight too

but you are soo lucky!

I ahve NO friends at all in my class and i have been with the same people in my class for 3 years! because im in french immersion.

and about going to see new people! I knowww for highschool its going to be all different people though! So just think of this as baby steps getting you ready into something different. Just stay calm :) You sound like an awesome person so i don't think you will have any problem making new friends

Answer 15

Relax! I promise you everything is going to be fine. I am sure that 90% of other students aren't going to be with their friends either! Imagine this. What was your mood/emotion when you were ABOUT to go in grade 7? Nervous? What was your mood on the last day of grade 7? Sad? Why? Because leaving your friends? How did you make friends? School. That's exactly going to happen again in grade 8. You're going to meet new friends.

Answer 16

im going to start 8th grade to! just not tomorrow. the most important thing is to be confident and friendly. that way people wont wanna start messin with you and they will kno that you are a nice person. who knows, you could make lots of new friends.

Answer 18

Be yourself try to be outgoing and dont be afraid of rejection
