Starting High School, Can You Give some Advice?

Question

I am starting as a freshman in high school on tuesday, I am a nerd, and Have no friends going to that school. Can I have some advice as to surviving it? Thank You.

Answer 1

The easiest way to survive high school is to be yourself, as corny and cliche as it sounds.  If your a nerd, embrace it; I did.  BY being who I was, I was able to join clubs that I was truly interested in (debate team, library club, ext.)  There I found people who were truly interested in the same things I was and we became friends.  If you try to be someone who you are not, try to show interest in an activity you really don't like, it will be really hard to find people who share the same interests and will be your friends.

Now, none of this is to say to only stick to what you like right now.  High school is all about finding yourself and expanding your horizons; it always helps to expand your interests by trying something new.  Even if you end up hating it, you might have fun along the way and meet some new people who have more in common with you than you think.  But don't try to trick them into thinking your someone your not.  Someone who wants to be your friend won't care if you don't like all the same movies.  

And most importantly, have fun.  You only get four years of high school - and they fly by fast. But, just be conscious of the consequences.

Answer 2

I started high-school last year & on the first day of school I was terrified. But then as the day went on i realized it's really not that scary.

Just be really friendly to everybody, don't be afraid to talk to other people the other freshman are just as scared. When you go to lunch, just look for somebody you were talking to earlier. If you don't see anybody look for other people that have the same interests as you. Then go up to there table & say " Do you mind if I sit here".

Just don't stress out so much, you'll be okay. Next year when your a sophomore you'll have a awesome group of friends & you'll look back & laugh at how scared you were ( like I'm doing now lol).

If you need anymore advice feel free to email me.

Answer 3

Don't stress about anything the first day, everyone, being freshmen or Senior are nervous the first day.

Answer 4

Stay away from bad influence, like Pot heads and trouble makers.

Stay with positive people

And don't worry, I felt that way before, But High School isn't bad, you'll fit in Little man. Good Luck

Answer 5

Try to stay away from most of the really popular kids, yet try not to socialize with the really nerdy people. If you make friends with the regular average kid, you normally won't feel pressures yet you won't get picked on.

Just telling you the mistakes I've made over my student career.
