Will High School be better than Middle School for me?

Question

I didn't like Middle school, I wasn't popular, and didn't really fit in anywhere. I had a few friends, but only the ones in my neighborhood did I really hang out with outside of school often. I worried about lunch a lot, I was never sure that I would get a table to sit at with enough people, or if my friends would sit at full tables and I might have to sit by myself. I wasn't involved with the school, and didn't like it, but there was very little ways to get invovled anyways, and none of them sounded like any fun. I never struggled with grades, and I've never been overweight, and have been at the higher end of average in fitness. I rarely had anything to look forward to all last school year, my friends barely ever invited me to do something on the weekends, and I hated going to school.

I was hoping that High School will be better, maybe I could meet new people and make friends, but I don't know if that will happen. Am I doomed to always be in the same position I was in in middle school, or do you think high school will be better? What could I do to make it better? What I really want is to fit in, and be in a solid tight knit group of friends who are fun to be around and like me.

And don't tell me to just worry about my grades, thats not what I'm asking about, and is never really a concern for me.

Answer 1

don't worry about grades (the kids who make straight As grow up to be boring accountants or insurance salesmen).  don't worry about being popular (the kids who are popular grow up to be losers).

Answer 2

....you worry to much....just relax...then things will be better

Answer 3

High school is much better than middle school.I hate my middle school a lot but i love my high school..

one thing tho,high school students sometimes cause so much drama,so don't really being an a** in school,just be yourself,maybe you can also be opened up to people little bit,people are more mature in high school,and i really think you should join a club or doing something that you like..after all,high school has many opportunity in school that you can pick on...goooddd luck

Answer 4

LOL, if you wernt popular in middle school your likely not going to be popular in high school, its just how it is ...

Answer 5

yes it will be alot better. i was just like you when i was your age. middle school sucked and i didnt have any friends but it all changed when i went to high school. there are many people that dont have any friends and they will want to be your friend. i started making friends like crazy! and when more and more people started being friends i went from the bottem of the list to the top if you know what i mean. well i hope it all works out for you good luck!

Answer 6

okay i know exactly what your talking about.. you just cant be so negative.. things will only change if you go out of your way to change them.. sitting around waiting for them to change wont get you anywhere.. you just gotta be happy and confident with yourself and friendly with people so they wanna be around you.. maybe join a sport or a club that sounds good to you.. i joined tennis last year and i made alot of close friends on there... you never know what things will be like unless you try them.. i hope things change for the better for you.. and good luck :]

Answer 7

i was to bored to read this sorry

but all i can say is i started high school last week and it was better for me  

Answer 8

Aw, you sound just like I did in middle school.

Things turned around for me, and they'll definitely turn around for you.

Try joining a few clubs that spark your interest and get to know the members. Be yourself and theyll be sure to like you and want to spend more time with you outside school.

Perhaps join a few sports if you find a few you like.

Theres absolutely no way you wont fit in if you join some club or sport.

Even drama. While in most schools people hate the drama crowd, theyre actually very tight knit groups of kids that love eachother and constantly want to be around eachother and have fun.

Whatever youre interested in, be sure to join something.

Make sure to go to any school functions.

Perhaps youll spot kids you sit next to in class, talk to them :]

Nothing would spark a friendship more than talking to someone out of the blue.

In class, wherever you are seated, introduce yourself to those around you and talk to them whenever youre bored. chances are, a topic whill come up that the two of you have in common and can bond over.

You'll make friends in no time.

Good luck, and have a great freshman year <3

Answer 9

you said you've been at the higher end of fitness so try some sports. there are a lot more people in high school than middle school so you should definitely meet new people. sports is a good way to get involved and make new friends. and yes high school is waaaay better than middle school a lot more freedom. hope this helps.

Answer 10

yea i had the same experience in middle school i can only hope for better and more mature kids i joined band and i am thinking about student council sounds like i might get to know some pretty cool kids and fit in this time.

Answer 11

Maybe. It depends on you as a person. It's sorta like middle school, except you'll be expected to have more money and no one (teachers and staff) will care about your problems. You should join a club or twelve. And there'll be more clubs and societies than in middle school, so there'll probably be more things to catch your eye. If not, you can create your own and bring together people with the same interests. You can meet different people with whom you share things in common (initially your interest in the activity- then as you spend time together you'll hopefully have other things in common) and also have things to tell your choice of colleges.
