I actually moved to another town the beginning of my junior year. I was basically like a freshman again. In a new environment with new people and new teachers. I had to start ALL over again and it scared me! High school is not that bad as everyone makes it to be. Don’t think so much about making friends. They are pretty easy to make. When you find someone that you have something in common with you won’t be able to stop talking! Make sure you choose your friends wisely. They are who YOU will become. It may seem that you aren’t like them at first but you will soon be changed and it will be too late when you actually realize it. Be smart in that department! 😉

I will give you the same advice I gave to someone else.

I really think you should concentrate on doing well in school and don’t worry what others think of you. Don’t worry about making friends or being popular. Concentrate on what you love whether it be sports, clubs, student government, or whatever. Don’t let ANYONE discourage you and force you into doing what you don’t want to do. If someone is making you uncomfortable be vocal about it. Tell them to lay off! Be strong and don’t let ANYONE step on you. Have confidence and have fun! Everything will be alright. Remember what you have been taught and stick to your values. Don’t change who you are for ANYONE.

There is nothing to fear…just remember you are not the only one…there are others there too who are just as scared and don’t know what to expect. Everyone makes high school seem like a nightmare. It isn’t so bad.

Good luck and take care of yourself 🙂
