First day of school…help!!?

Tomorrow’s my first day of high school. I’m 14, and I’m going to be a sophomore. Last year I was in Europe for a whole year, so I don’t know a lot of people there. I do have 2 pretty good friends that go there, but I don’t think I’m in any classes with them. I also know that a few people from my old school(middle school) go there, but I wasn’t really friends with them. What should I do to fit in? Also, what should I do during lunch? I’m pretty sure that neither of my two friends has lunch with me, so where do I sit? I’m really shy and I sorta don’t like being in a big group. Thanx!!

The important thing is to be yourself. There are lots of other people in similar situations to you. Don’t try to be something your not- nobody likes a fake person! Just don’t stress. If you have to eat by yourself the first few days, it’s not a big deal. You will make friends, don’t worry!

Instead of focusing on how you feel, why don’t you spend your lunch trying to make others feel comfortable? I’m sure you’ll be able to spot some kids who look like they need a friendly hello. Try and reach out to them. When you reach out to help others, and stop thinking of yourself, friends will come naturally.
