Hey guys. I'm Kayla and I'm in eighth grade. I will be going to Deer Park High School North Campus next year in ninth grade and I am so nervous! Four different junior highs will be joined into one school next year and I will meet a lot more people but I'm still nervous. What if they don't accept me? What if no one likes me? What about lunch? Where will I sit? I'm asking myself all these questions and it's making me even more nervous than ever! There is exactly 166 days until my first freshman day of high school and I'm already freaking. What about when I get up to 1 day before? I'm going to puke!!! I'm scared of getting lost but I'm more scared of the people. People are mean these days. Some people I don't even know make me feel like I have something to hide, like I'm ugly or something. A lot of people SAY I'm pretty but I don't believe them because of what people have said in the past. I'm afraid it will get worse. These are some positive things about my high school:
1. We can chew gum... sometimes
2. We don't have to have our shirts tucked in
3. We can wear hoodies
4. We get tall lockers so nobody is below or above me
5. We can wear tank tops
6. I have ran out of positive things
Here are some negative things about DPHS:
1. It's HUGE!
2. Four different junior highs will be joining into one and I will barely know anyone
3. I don't know what electives to take
4. I know I'll get lost which is a scary thing
5. I have no idea what credits are for and what we have to get them
6. The people are probably going to be rude
7. I won't know barely anyone in any of my classes
8. I'm so nervous I'm going to puke on my first day.
There... out of all those things, I'm more scared of the people... like I said, I have no clue if I will be accepted or not...
What if they don't talk to me?
I have always made friends on my first day of school but what if it's different this time???
Please help me get over my nerves, Advicenators! I need help!
I prefer Deer Park High School graduates or student currently attending Deer Park High School in Deer Park, Texas to answer this question but it's okay if you aren't. Thank guys!

WOAAAAAH. I was just like this when it was my first day (not as bad) but its really no big deal. Im a freshman now and i can tell you from experience High School isnt as bad as you think. Everyone thinks the same thing on the 1st day, but if you just walk up to someone and say hi im Kayla, they arent going to ditch you. Yes, there are going to be some who wont accept you, but theres going to be others who will. Im positive people will like you, everyone makes friends, and its not that hard as it seems. You most likely will get lost, but its funny :]. Everyone gets lost so its not like youre the only one, and usually your school will have an orientation, and hand you your schedules and allow you to look for your classes. Lunch isnt as bad as people make it come off. Most likely, you will know at least one person in there, all you have to do is look around. Other people will be looking for their friends too, and if you just dont want to look sit at a table. Chances are some person will ask you if they can sit with you, or if you want to sit with them. Many people really arent that rude about that stuff, some are but they are just jerks. Sometimes you have to make the first move in approaching someone, other people are feeling the same way and thinking the same things, just talk to them. On the first day if you dont know anyone, when youre in class just talk to someone sitting near you, and be like HEY.. I like your socks.. something like that. It wont be no different that any other day. On the first day, upperclass man will most deffinately call you freshmeat. But dont let that get to you, if they see that it bothers you they will continue the annoyance, their just words. For electives take something you like. Maybe chorus, graphic arts, art, all those types. For credits i know in my school they are how many points you can get in one class and you have to have a certain amount by the time of 10th grade to pass. You get them unless you fail the class. DO NOT worry about people being rude, if they are rude to you just dont bother with them; their immature. High School are the best years of your life, and you cant let those nerves get in the way. Everything will be alright, i promise. :] Dont worry and if you need anything just leave one in my inbox.
