high school?????

im going to be a freshman this year and im soooo nervous. and im not gonna be in a 9th grade school only, its gonna go all the way to 12th. i was always bullied since i was in elementary school and getting bullied in high school is much worse. im bad at gym and i have no clue how to act. in middle school my class was small but now i heard the high school im going to has like 30 kids per class! whats even worse is that i dont make friends that easily and even if i do they are usually the wrong type that my parents hate. oh and btw im moving to a different state and city with a bunch of rich kids so i have to make new friends all over again and dont get to keep the few ones i had from middle school. what should i do?!?!?!

Sounds like the first thing you need to do is calm down and take a deep breath. You really shouldn’t be so nervous. Since it sounds like your going to a fairly big school, I’m assuming that like most schools, there will be other new kids, such as yourself. So there’s no need to feel like an outcast.

I go to a school with between 20-30 kids per class, and even though we have that many, there really isn’t as much bullying as you’d think. Although, I go to a public school and, well, no one’s really rich, so I don’t know if that makes a difference. o.0

As for gym, don’t sweat it! (lolz, an accidental pun xD) Everyone’s not going to judge you by how well you preform in sports. You could also look at it as even though you’re bad at gym, there is probably someone worse.

Even if you don’t immediatly make a friend on the first day, you souldn’t panic. At my school we generally take a day to learn about the new kid and on the 2nd day there’s always a group of friends that show the kid around and become friends with them. If you feel lonely, you should also do you best to keep in contact with your old friends, so that way you never are truly friendless.

(Geez, I totally sound like one of those class suck ups that go around counseling people, which I swear is not like me. I must have a weak spot for newbies.) Which brings up another point that you shouldn’t judge your classmates on the first day, because some of the people that look the scariest and most unsociable are generally some of the nicest ones. My friends and I are the sorta punks/goths, but we’re always the ones to welcome the new kids.

Hope this helps! Remember to have fun and be yourself. Thats the best (and cheeziest) advice I can give you. ^_^

Try finding a club that you like. When I was a freshman, I joined the french club and the newspaper, I met a lot of cool people that I am still friends with. I met one of my best friends Holly in the journalism/newspaper class, and now we’re going to senior year still bff’s. I would find a teacher you are very comfortable with so you have a mentor. I found that through my french teacher. She listens really well, and she is generally a nice person to talk with. I would try that, and I would not panic about high school. I think the hardest part was the first 2 weeks, getting to know the school and your teachers and their expectations. I would also call the school and see if they have freshmen orientation. Most schools do.

Dont worry or be nervous. High school is a chance to start over new. You have an even greater opportunity since you are moving to a new state. My advice is that you keep in contact with your old friends, but still make new ones (possibly even the popular ones). You can go from being the kid who got bullied to one of the most popular kids at school. When you get to school try not to be nervous at all, reinvent your image (oh yes go shopping), and be outgoing and bold. People with these types of personalities generally attract people towards themselves.

I moved three times during high school and had the hardest time meeting friends. The best advice I can give you is start fresh!! Walk into that new school like you own the place and I tell you, you will get results. If you walk in the doors with your head down and being quiet of course you are never going to meet people. Walk in with your head held high and act as if you were the coolest person in your last school. You have a chance to begin a new life path right now….GRAB IT!!!

yeah, so am I. I’ve also moved, had a hard time making friends and have been bullied. For me, everytime I moved, I made friends with someone on the first day. I never stayed good friends with them, but they introduced me to other people. Another thing you should know is that the next grade is never as bad as everyone says it is. For years everyone told me that I would need to use cursive for everything I did next year, or that I would have homework every night(none of which were true). so just relax and enjoy the summer.

30 kids per class… that’s tiny. My high school is relatively small in Buffalo and has over 300 per class. Don’t worry you will do fine I’m going to be a junior and remember the nerves of freshman year. You’ll get over it.

Also if you are truly concerned, talk to your parents/counselors about the issue, not random people like me on yahoo! answers.

good luck.

Senior intense college is the right comparable situation as intense college, in basic terms a different call. Like in my city we’ve Austin Senior intense (intense college) and Austin junior intense (center college).
