All you have to do is be nice and open minded! If you're like standing there by yourself with a frown on, no ones going to want to talk to you. But if you're friendly and warm, everyone will like you! From classes, you should know someone, so for lunch go up to them and ask them if you can sit with them! Make sure you smile a lot.

Mercy_x_Me answered Saturday July 24 2004, 12:22 pm:
well the first thing to do is stand out. Be unique in how you dress, but nothing too noticable. Be nice to EVERYBODY you see. Even if someone asks for a pencil give a huge smile and say sure or something like that, exaggerate your politeness, try not to appear cheap tho or flaky. Try making acquaintances and by lunch someone might offer for you to sit with them!!! If not, sit down alone, and if no one approaches you or offers for you to sit with them, they must be pretty out of their minds and the next day should definetly equal pure results.

BlueEyedBlondie725 answered Saturday July 24 2004, 4:10 am:
Aww don't be scared! You'll be fine!! You just have to be outgoing. And plus you have classes before you eat lunch. So, in each class, talk to people that sit around you, just be friendly and talk to them. You'll meet friends that way. Just make sure you talk to people. And the 4 kids that ARE going to your school, see what hour lunch they have and if they have the same hour lunch as you, you can also sit by them too! Hope this helps. And you'll be fine!! If you need any more help, I'll be glad to help =D

Well,you're going to meet a few people in your classes,right? Talk to them about girl stuff(I'm obviously assuming you are one) and just be yourself. If you see them at lunch,ask them if you can sit there. You won't sit alone. In high school,there's a group for everyone.

iLjaG answered Saturday July 24 2004, 12:41 am:
Only way you can be sure of yourself is if you are confident. Go into the 9th grade with expectations to meet new people and to make friends that will last a lifetime. Do not be afraid to ask people if you can sit with them, they wont say no. Build your confidence up over the last couple weeks of the summer and go into that first day of school with endless self-esteem.

spacefem answered Saturday July 24 2004, 12:36 am:
so sit by yourself, what's the big deal? I actually tried to sit by myself a couple times in high school, and every single time some random kid would come up and be like, "I'm afraid to sit by myself so you must be too, let's sit together" and that's how it went.

Don't Sweat it.. im going into highschool 2..I bet you don't remember meeting all of your friends but you did.. Its always scary going to a new place.. especially when your scared of rejection.. but don't be.. put a smile one your face and say hi.. Just start talking to someone.. chances are there just as nervous as you. You can practice being more brave by getting involved in stuff over the summer...do a community thing, volunteer, go swimming in a public pool etc. Do stuff where thers alot of people.. and guranteed you'll make friends.. that should give you the confidence to walk into highschool knowing its going to be a great year!:)

Hope i helped

leave me a message in my inbox or im me if you need anymore advice


Good luck

xoxo
