High school!!!! =[?

I’m so nervous.

I’m going to be a freshman..

I’m afraid I won’t make a lot of friends because I’m very shy..

I have a lot of friends now, but I’ve known them all since pretty much elementary school. It’s just hard for me to make new friends because I’m always worrying about embarrassing myself..

I know I need to stop being so shy, but it’s really hard for me, i’ve been this way my whole life.

My school is pretty small, and everyone usually fits in there, but I’m still so scared.

Will I like it after my first day? Because for 6th grade, I was so scared to go, but once I was there I wanted to go back and I really liked it.

PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE!!

You’ll make friends in time. There will be a lot of new people with new personalities, some shy and others not. You aren’t the only one that’s nervous either. Just try to be confident; there’s nothing wrong with being shy if you’re still confident in yourself. Also if you have self confidence, your shyness will eventually go away. It will most likely go away as you get older anyway!

I used to be very shy myself but one day I met my best friend, a very outgoing person. She talked to me over an over, and I eventually opened up. Now, I’m not too shy anymore and I know I have her to thank for that. So maybe you’ll find someone that brings out the talkative and charismatic side of you. :]

I’m sure high school will be fun.

Dont worry at all, people make the first day of high school seem like such a big deal. Its hard not to make new friends just becuase you have different grade levels in your classes and you see older people a lot. I wouldnt be nervous because everyone is matured up and no one is going to make fun of you or say mean things. Just join clubs or sports that a lot of people do its an easy way to make friends.

dont worry about it!! i have made it through 2 full years of high school now and on to the 3rd. high school is a time to have fun especially as a freshman. makeing friends is not as hard as u think. with a small school it is even easier. you will always have those friend you have had forever and you will make more. i go to a school with over 4,000+ students and was in your situation 3 years ago. just relax because high school is really no different then middle/junior high. after your first day you will love it

don’t worry and you’ll be fine… being shy isn’t a bad thing it’s just your personality and I am shy too..

Making friends in high school is easier than you think, too! Just join clubs that you feel you’ll enjoy and you’ll meet friends there… and it helps to go try out for teams, too… I’ve been on the swim team as long as I can remember and most of my friends are on the team…

Like I said earlier… you don’t need to stop being shy… it’s a personallity…. if we all had the same personality, where would this world be today?

hey ,, u do not need to worry at all , this is normal belive me , even if u r extra shy , do not consider it a problem.

now comes a list of advices:

1) the first day everyone wont be knowing anyone, all of you people will be starngers to each other, so if u find someone sitting alone, go n talk with him/her like ” hey , how r u ?? ” n it goes on , u hav alot of things to talk about , but u should talk about somethign in common which is basically talking about courses and the university so that u two dun get bored.

2) if someone from ur school is joining the same university , y dun u both go n start knwoing more people together.

3) you should be very polite with people and do nto show that u r shy ,, if they didnt like u , fine , not everyone will like u , leave them n go knw other ppl.

4) go n visit theuniversity one day before so that u dun get completely lost in ur frts day.

gd luck ,, wish these advices help ,

cheers

Relax…you’ll be fine! It is scary at first, but just think about this – all of the other new students are feeling the same way! A friendly smile and “hello” is all you need to make new friends in high school. Just think of it like a higher version of 6th grade. And enjoy it! Your high school years will be some of the best years of your life!

Ok 1st of all calm down. Dont worry at all! High school really isnt really all the big of a difference in environment as it is made out to be. You might even end up in classes with people you already know considering you say its small. I had alot of my friends in my freshman classes and i go to a school with over 4,000 kids. I personally dont like school and ended up skipping most of my sophmore year and failed due to absences : (. I think you will enjoy it though considering how worked up you get over it :P. Good luck and have a good school year!

i am the same way and also going in to high school its a big change!

but i am also really shy and have a hard time making friends too

but when your there u will just have to break open your shell and say to the most ppl and maybe sooner or later u will have best friends and a bf.. u never no!

just try and follow everyone, be friendly and just take a chance of a life time

=D

good luck!

I think the real key to surviving high school is to just be yourself and all of your soon-to-be friends will come naturally. I was shy myself in my freshman year but once I met certain people there, it was so easy for me to get along with them that it made me more confident. High school is not as scary as you think. Sure the schoolwork is harder but all of your old and new friends will definitely help you out so don’t worry! High school is where you make your best memories; I know I have!

Just remember that others are equally nervous as you are. Walk to school with a friend so you will have someone familiar there with you. Dont worry about embarrassing yourself, nobodys perfect. Find a club that you are interested in and make new friends. Good luck
