New school and I'm becoming a freshman.?

You might want to make at least one friend before you have to actually be in school with everyone. That will definitely help. There are probably going to be lots of people who don't know each other also going to your school, unless you're moving to a really little town. In that case, it will be easier to befriend others if the school is smaller. So either way you have advantages.

Don't worry about it too much. It won't be as bad as you think!

Well, I wish you the best of luck!!!

I was a freshmen last year but a lot of my friends were going to the same highschool as me. Best advice I can give u is to make a few friends before lunch. Also worrying about wont do u any good. Highschool is not that different from middle school to be honest.

Compliment people! It easily starts a conversation. It also makes their day! Try to agree or add on to a conversation. If you hear someone talking about seeing a movie and you've seen it, tell em about it! If someone says, I can't wait to get out of school, try and make a funny response! If you're brave, go up to someone and tell them you're new. Maybe ask them to show you the town sometime. If they're new too, you can talk about where you moved from, how you like the school so far, etc! Be yourself too! NOBODY likes fake people. Avoid drama.

I am having the same problem except I am going to the 11th grade. But if you think about it, a lot of other kids are going to also be new. And just talk, high school is not bad, as long as you talk. If you are quiet people may no want to be friends. Just make a good first impression and you will be fine Hannah :) good luck. I hope I helped.

Be outgoing but don't act like you own the place. Friends will come along if you're outgoing.

Hey Hannah, sucks to hear that you move away from a place where you were comfortable at but trust me things will get better.

Students every year expect new students to come and are so willing to make new friends with them. I was never a new student so i'm not entirely in your shoes but ill give you the perspective of what students do when they see a new student.

Typically, my school and others..we are very intrigued by the new student..we always try to get to know them, see where they moved from, why they moved, what sports they play, and etc. We always try to get to know them. We simply will approach you and say "Hi, my name is Michelle..what's your name? Welcome to Germantown! Where'd you move from?" stuff like that..we just want you to feel comfortable. I would be so scared going to a new school, so I treat new students just like I would want to be treated if I was new.

Do not be afraid to talk, typically ive notice from a lot of new students, when we try to talk to them they seem so shy and afraid to engage in conversation. Its really rare for me to see a girl who actually asks me questions, and actually tries to keep the conversation going. Like they let the nerves get to them you know? Just breathe, and relax. When we talk to you, just act like your normal self..just as if you were talking to people at your old school. Doing so, will also gurantee you a new friend and etc.

I understand the cliques, where if your not in their clique they won't talk to you and etc. That's not \ true, most people are very open-minded and very outgoing and would love to befriend you. There's going to be a girl at your school who will talk to you!

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and say "hi im (your name)" This girl name apple (fake name) moved into my class, never lived in Mississippi, and was so bold that when I sat in the desk beside her she was just like "Hi im apple, whats your name, nice to meet you!" and you had no idea how that stunned me and then it sparked a good conversation and shes one of my good friends now!

Just don't let your nerves get to you.

I can see how being a totally different environment is difficult, especially when you feel like you're alone. Its going to be okay, you're not going to be the only new student there. Plus good thing about it, you're going to be just like the others there who this is their first time experiencing highschool so you guys are all in it together.

Be confident, be yourself!

Don't be shy, when people talk to you..act yourself and try to engage in conversation. Tell them how you feel, ask them questions, talk about yourself, just be open and friendly. There are going to be PLENTY of people who will introduce themselves to you, im one of those girls who would approach a new student and I hate to see them be scared when I do! BE OPEN, BE FRIENDLY!

Maybe even you introduce yourself to others, if someone is sitting beside you..just be like "hey!" trust me, it won't weird them out. Teachers will always help you, cause when new students come they typically say.."and we have a new student! Where are you from? People make her feel comfortable!" and etc.

You're going to be okay darling,

don't approach school with a negative outlook cause then that'll ruin your whole experience. Walk in with a positive attitude and it will be a positive!

At lunch, if no one asks to sit by you yet..just ask someone you talked to in class that you're comfortable with "hey I don't mean to disturb, but can I sit by you guys at lunch?" and im telling you they will say "sure! (:"

Its okay!
