I’m going to a new school…I’m SO scared!?

I’ve been to many different schools, and you would think I would be good at adjusting to a new school, but that’s not the case. I’ve been to a small private school for 3 years, and now I’m being placed into a big public school. I have been really shy naturally, but once you get to know me I am not so shy anymore. I don’t know anybody at this new school, which makes me really scared. I will be going into 11th grade and it seems like its too late to make friends. I’m scared that I won’t have any friends. I guess I have confidence issues…. PLEASE HELP!

sorry about your luck

Don’t worry about it, you’ll meet people in class.

Classmates who you have multiple classes with will probably be more likely to be your friend. I know this because I’ve moved plenty of times. I just started to talk to people, say “Hi, I’m xxxx”, you don’t have to say “I’m new here.” Just kind of pretend you’ve been attending the school for a while. Go and participate in sports and clubs that you would normally do in your old school. Find activities that will help you meet people.

Just start slow and eventually you can make friends

It’s not too late.

Angel, just take a deep breath and smile whenever you go into a new situation.

Be a joiner when you get to your new school. Join something academic, something artistic, something sporty, something civic-minded/charitable.

And if it’s any consolation, you’ll make a whole new set of friends when you go to college, when you get a full-time job, whenever you start something big in your life. (So, if it doesn’t work out so well at one place, there’s always the next thing coming up in your life to present you with new people and new opportunities!)

You just may meet the ones who you’ll be friends with for life-my daughter is shy until you know her too-then not! She will have to meet all new friends too-it is a bit scary but you will be fine-everyone is always hestitant at first-get involved with clubs if you can, or a sport.

Don’t worry at all. Just be yourself, talk to new people in your classes. If they like you, you could be friends, if not…who even cares. You don’t want people like that as friends. It’s never to late to make friends…just be nice and show your true personality.
