Survive going to HS with only a few people you know?

I am going to HS on Tuesday. I just moved, and the only people I know are from church. I’m sort of reserved, so sometimes its hard to get myself to talk to people. Anybody have any suggestions?

This happened to me when I moved again, that was about 4 years ago, except I don’t go to church, anyways you’ll make friends in a matter of months. Since you’ll see them everyday or every other day depending on which classes you have, its inevitable that you’ll start to talk to each other. Just check out your surrounding, relax and also join clubs. I think clubs is very important, you meet people who like the same things as you and sooner or later you’ll be talking. Not sure about what you’ll do come lunch time. sorry…

High school is tough. I know its really hard to get out there and talk to people. Sometimes you just have to force yourself to do it even if its just to say hello. Don’t be a snob either. Try to be nice to everyone because its a sign of good character and people respond to it. You should try to work on your self esteem. I know its sounds silly but you should wake up and look in the mirror and say “I am a good person. I am important. I am special.” Soon you’ll start believing it and other people will too. Self confidence is very appealing. Good Luck

You can always make a goal that you will talk to one new person every day, and over time, you’ll have made lots of friends and gotten to know even more people. If you always smile at everybody, it will be easier for them to see that you are friendly. That is hard to do sometimes when you are nervous but well worth the effort.

Just be friendly to others and you will make more friends. I understand your fears of a new school and even starting school again after being out for summer (that is always hard). You will adjust, be patient, it will take about two weeks and by then you will be adjusted. Everything is going to be okay.

Be yourself and don.t try too hard but make an effort to observe the situations that arise to introduce your interests to your classmates/ .Be patient!!! Don’t volunteer for every thing that comes about but be available for opportunities that you may be interested in participating in such as sports, music :after school clubs in subjects that you are taking.

always smile! this shows that you are a gregarious person and friendly. Don’t be scared to speak up if you are asked about your opinion or something. Be yourself! And it doesnt really matter if you know alot of people. All it matter is you have few real friends that will be on your side!. take care..

Just talk to the people around you in class. Be like…”What was the homework?” or something…Greet them every day and help everyone out when they need it.
