How can I be more social in high school?
Find clubs, sports, and intramural activities that interest you or even might interest you if you are unsure.Being around like-minded peers will open doors to friendships and other social activities.I was in Band because I loved playing music, and as a result, the majority of my friends and acquaintances were as well. I was invited along to diners after football games and it felt pretty cool riding around with upperclassmen in their cars as a Freshman, giving me rides home after evening rehearsals. The competitions and trips we took were even more fun.I grew to love being in Band so much and playing music that I decided to pursue a career in Music Education. I'm now into my 17th year of teaching music and love watching friendships grow in my classroom.
Was high school fun or difficult for you socially?
Yes.
How do I improve my social life in high school?
Just a couple months ago, I asked my older sister advice on my senior year. She told me to always say yes unless I have a good reason to say no. I was skeptical, but it works.“Hey Isabel, do you want to come with us to Denny’s after practice tonight?” Yes. I'm kinda tired and it might be awkward, but that might be fun.“Are you coming to my Halloween party?” Yep! Sounds like fun!“Do you want to come over to my house and watch a movie?” Sure, why not? I'm always down for a literal Netflix and chill.What I have noticed is, the more I say yes, the more I am included in the fun. In the past, I held myself back and said no for fear of being awkward or unwanted. Now, I have more confidence than that. People want to spend time with me—that's awesome!As a side note, I would also like to say that you shouldn't place too much weight on any one interaction. Talk to the girl sitting next to you in math class. Talk to the boy standing by you in the lunch line. Talk about how hard the homework was, ask them about their weekend, or comment on your undying love for potatoes. Direct the conversation toward them. Don't be afraid to be honest and silly. They don't have to become your best friend, but each time you talk to someone you open yourself up to human connection. Some of these relationships will grow into something greater, but even if they don't you're still getting out there and being social. Go you!My god that was a long side note. Oops ;)
Was/Is high school really hard for you(socially)?
as stupid as this might sound, u just have to be urself, dont try and be someone ur not just to fit it. nothing matters when ur out of high school. most ur 'friends' when ur there go their seperate ways after u've left, the whole popularity thing doesnt matter either. a pretty face wont secure u a job. high school isnt meant to be enjoyed. i hated school, i hated, HATED it. everyone there was loud and bitchy, the only way they became popular was by bitching about others behind their back. i was the opposite to that. i was very quiet and shy so i was an easy target for bullies. my work got torn up, some girl cut me across my face with a knife so in the end the school moved me out to a different one, which was better but i was only there for a few months then everyone officially left at 16 (its 16 over here in the UK). ugh it was horrible. just be urself. u'll be fine and much happier once u've left all that crap behind. best of luck ! x
Are high school football games fun?
yes. most the time at high school football games no one watches the game until the end. its time to hang out with your friends, and talk trash about the other team. Go, it fun. Believe me i was just like you but now pulled it together and go have fun!
