Well, I'm starting high school for the first time this August, and no, I'm not going to be in ninth grade; I will be a junior. (I was homeschool through middle school and my first two years of high school.) This will all be sooo new to me, and needless to say, I AM FREAKED OUT!!!
First of all, because everyone in my grade has known each other for at least two years, they will all have friends, and the first day of school will probably consist of everyone saying hello to their friends that they hadn't seen for the whole summer. I am scared that I will have a hard time making friends because everyone else already knows each other pretty well.
I don't want to start out school as a loner, because, well, nobody wants to be friends with a loner.
And to make matters worse, there will be this random single day where we will have yearbook pictures, and then the official first day of school will be a few weeks later.
How do I make friends? I don't have a goal to be popular, but it would be nice to have a few friends, especially during the first few weeks of school where life would be the hardest because its such a new environment for me. I'm a little shy so it would be hard (and wierd) for me to just come up to random groups of people and introduce myself. I could never do that. What I prefer is to have people approach me. That would make life perfect =)
Oh, and just a quick important note. One, is that high schoolers always kind of intimidate me. Like they always look so bitchy and mean, and like they will judge you. (I know it's not true, it just seems like it). And second, I'm not some de-socialized, religious, nerdy homeschooler, so I'm not (that) wierd. I'm super nice, mostly quiet, sometimes hyper, smart, not ugly, not drop dead gorgeus, and giggle ALOT.
Any advice on the first day of my junior year? Are all my assumptions true? (about how almost everyone will be in groups on the first day of school, etc). What should I expect?
Thank you for reading all this, any feedback will be appreciated =) (link)

come to class a minute early and ask the names from the kids sitting on your left and right. Then the next day ask the names from the kids sitting in front and behind you.
So by the end of the day 2, you'll know 24 people.
You probably will sit alone for lunch during the first 2-7 days of school.

I don't really see how knowing 24 names will help me make friends...
