How to make friends on the first day of high school?
Be yourself. And give yourself time to find the right friends. My first semester of HS sucked because I wound up in classes with the same kind of people I knew in middle school. I had maybe one friend. But I decided I deserved better than that, and second semester I started to find people who were more fun and were more in tune with me. Then it takes time. You meet their friends, and more people, and slowly you build those relationships and by about sophomore year I had a good group to hang out with. Guys are pretty easy to get to know actually even if you're shy. Guys like to show off, like to tell stories, like people who listen to them, and like people who stand by them. You don't have to BE like them (and you shouldn't be if you don't want to be), you just kind of have to listen to them and put up with them and appreciate them for who they are. You just kind of have to give it time for guys to trust you and open up to you. And if they know youre a little bit adventurous and easy to get along with you should have no probs making friends. Its a great thing to have good friends and it'll make high school a lot more fun and easier to get through. So good for you dude for breaking out of your shell. I went through the same thing and it led to a lot of good things.
Scared!! First day of high school!!?
DON'T WORRY, you'll be fine ! Trust me. For being on the bus alone just sit next to someone who looks really friendly and say hi and make friends with them and they can be your bus buddy, on walking alone, just go straight to your locker, and get what you need then go to class, and on orientation day, yes try your best to memorize where ALL your classes are, because if you ask one of the older kids they'll probably tell you the wrong directions (unless their nice, this happened to me haha), an if you don't know anyone in your class just talk to the person next to you, and be super nice! It's always nice making new friends (: As for lunch, on orientation day pick a place with your friends on where you want to meet up, such as the bathroom or vending machine! Also, if most people are jerks just be nice trust me, it'll keep you out of drama and you might even make friends with them! Just remember: Don't worry, it's only 4 years of your life, and by the 2nd week of school you'll be used to the place and everything will be fine, now go and enjoy the rest of your summer!
How do you make new friends on the first day of high school?
Do not abandon your friends from middle school. You will look like a stuck-up jerk. As time passes, you may become closer to some, and more distant from others, but let that come as a result of growth and change.The easiest way to make new friends is to be friendly. In most cases, high schools have more than one feeder schools, so there will be people you have never met before in your classes. Be friendly, but not pushy. Learn who the new people are in your class. Learn their names. Being called by name is a powerful validation for people in a new environment. You will be seen as friendly and approachable if you quickly learn and use your new classmates’ names.Get involved in extra-curricular activities. Sports, band, school newspapers and yearbooks all are looking for new students to replace last year’s seniors. If you are already involved in a sport or activity, it will be a great gateway to new friends.Don’t pass gossip. Listen, but do not repeat. Let people see that you aren’t that ubiquitous high-school jerk, the bad-mouther who is quick to pass on every bit of dirt.Unless your parents are rich, or you are a gifted athlete, don’t aim to be the top dog. A common high school trajectory for those people resembles a rocket—it goes up very quickly with a lot of flash, makes a big noise, then comes down just as fast.Use your time and opportunities. High school is your last chance for a free education; from the time of your graduation on, you will have to pay for everything in both money and time. Use this last opportunity well.Above all, be yourself.
I'm scared for the first day of high school?
I'm going into freshman year and none of my friends are going to the same school, some Peoole who I know of or they know of me are but I don't really talk to them, I'm ok with not knowing anyone in my classes because I'll make friends but I'm scared that on the first day of school I will have no one to sit with at lunch, and this school is really big and I feel like I'm going to get lost.
First day of High School!! Help!!?
I start high school in a week and I'm so scared and nervous!! I am going to a huge public school from a tiny private school and I don't really know anyone there! (I'm also really shy). 1.I'm scared that i won't be able to make friends! I'm so shy and it's hard for me to be outgoing. What can help?? 2.what do I do about lunch since I don't know anyone?? What if I don't meet anyone before lunch? Where do I sit? 3.What do I wear on first day of school?? All i basically own is skinny jeans and t shirts? 4.Any advice or tip? I'm a freshman going to a school where I don't know anyone. I'm taking all Pre AP core classes, Latin, an Ag class, and tennis... Please help! I'm really stressing and having panic attacks! Thanks
First day of High School tomorrow, I'm scared, help me please :( ?
Okay, lets tackle one thing at a time. Firstly, don't be scared of the sophomores, juniors and seniors. You need to remember that, however many years ago, they were the ones who were in your position. Everyone has to face it at some point in their lives. Some will empathise with you. Some will not. But if you don't get in their way, I'm pretty sure they won't get in yours. Secondly, with the hallways being crowded: that's expected of a high school. On my first day of high school I was pushed around left right and centre. You just need to learn to get used to it and to find easier paths/routes to take that make your journey simpler and quicker. It doesn't matter how many students that the school has. Just think of it as you being one fish in a medium sized pond. You're all there to learn, make friends and (possibly) enjoy it, don't waste your time worrying about silly little things like that, trust me, it passes. Thirdly, I'm a very quiet person and I made it out alive! If you're quiet, you'll find people who are just like yourself to make friends with! I very much doubt you'll be the only nervous, shy, quiet type on your first day. Just find people who are the same/ share the same interests as you. You'll all just click. Or, even better, find people who are in your classes to buddy up with. That way, if you stick together at break and lunch hours you'll be able to find your way together. It will all click together if you take things with a positive step. And finally, my high school has 4 buildings and it's an old Nuns Convent. It's huge. When I first walked through those big oak doors (slightly like Hogwarts) I was a bit afraid but also excited. Your first time in high school is just like another journey and it's something you have to do. There will be maps in homework journals (assuming you have them where you are?) and, at our school, for the first week we had a group of year 11's guide us to all of our classrooms so we could memorise the routes we needed to take. Everything will be confusing as first: you're being introduced to something bigger than you've experienced. But with like any challenge, you need to think positive and take it head on! Have fun and good luck!!!
I didn't make friends the first two days of high school? Will i be a loner?
Before you start writing rude stuff i'm transferring from private to public school for high school right? so i don't know like anyone. Of course I talked to a couple people but its like everyone already has their cliques from middle school! I did make like a couple friends but they STILL have their own clique that they ditch me for. How do i avoid this? Im just so nervous that i'll be a loner through out highschool. Im a freshman btw
Is highschool scary on the 1st day of freshman year?
Hello, freshman here.I remember walking into the gates trembling while holding my schedule. To the right was the student center and to the left were a flight of stairs with students, presumably older ones, who all looked like they knew what they were doing. I had not had a proper tour of the school, as I had done my registration later than others, so I looked like a lost puppy as you can imagine. Thankfully I saw one of the vice principals were outside of the student center answering questions, so I timidly waited in line to talk to him. I handed him my schedule and croaked out, “Hi, I have no idea what I’m doing and I’m terrified.” He smiled and told me there was nothing to be worried about and happily gave me directions to my classroom.My next thought was how I was going to make friends. Luckily in my third period I was sat next to a girl who was wearing a shirt covered cats. Obviously I complimented her shirt! One thing led to another, and now I am part of a circle of kindhearted friends with the same goals as me.Was high school scary on the first day of school? Yes. Does it get better? Yes.Just relax and you should be fine. We all go through the same process. You’ll grow more comfortable with yourself and your surroundings over time.
