Just be crazy! Have fun and don't be shy. Go up to people and make conversation. I'm sure you'll make a lot of friends. You seem really nice so make sure you show people who you really are and not just a shy girl.

Don't worry you'll meet new ppl. Try to come out of your shyness and start maybe talking to the person that sits next to you in class and yall get to know each other n stuff.

hey im dealing with just the same problem. I went to public school for middle school ando now going into 9th im one of the only few people of my friends going to catholic school. I am very nervous about starting not knowing anybody but just be yourself dont hold back let people know the real you and im sure youll make plenty of friends . Dont be shy start up a conversation with someone. By being yourself you can only gain more friends than you have .. hope i helped =)

I would try hanging out with your old friends and let them invite some new ones that they made. That way you can become friends with them and they might be in your lunch.

Ok so you say not many people know you at this school, then dont be the old you. New school New You! Have the same personality, but try not to be soo shy. Talk to a lot of people. Go to club meetings that you may be interested in. Photography club, Art club, Foreign Language club... you get the picture that way you will have stuff to put on your resume' for college along with a group of potential friends. Also go to sporting events after school friday night football games, soccer games, and so on, or better yet tryout for a sport. Another good after school organization is YoungLife, you may or may not have that at your school but probably it is at most. Those are some ways hope they're helpful!! Good-Luck

HeY. Well I'm in the 9th grade too so I'm kinda in that same position b/c 2 middle schools go to the same high school where I live too. Just introduce yourself to people in your classes and talk to them some. It should work cause thats what I did. Well hope I mighta helped you some.

That does really suck, but there is somewhat of a good side to it. In junior high to high skewl, you usually lose a lot of friends, and this way, you are just starting over. Instead of losing your friends, you just have to work harder to get in contact with them and there is less of a chance you will get into a fight with them. Another thing is, no one knows you at your new skewl. You can be anyone you want to be, any mistakes you made in the past are all erased. I'm sorry that you lost a lot of your friends, but try to see the good side of going to a new skewl, and you'll have a lot more fun. Good Luck

I think you should join lotz of clubs and things like that. And don't be shy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile! So keep on smiling! When classes start (I dunno if yall do this but we all have to intoduce ourselves to eachother) Introduce Yourself to people and tell them your looking forward to working with them this school year. Also introduce yourself to the teacher so they know you have a good heart! Well hope this helps! And make your freshman year an Enjoyable one! I am about about to be a Junior and I'm not ready to graduate next but, GOOD LUCK! And God Bless! Beebyes! ~1ne~

I'm going into 9th grade too - and I'm worried that I won't be with my friends. But High School is a great opportunity for you to meet new people. It will be a little tough at first, but once you get to know people - you'll meet great friends. In your classes, if you see someone that looks interesting, go up to them and introduce yourself. Say what you like to do in your free time, any sports, compare your schedule. And at lunch, sit next to new people that look interesting. Ask them if you can sit there and introduce yourself. Say what you like to do in your free time. I hope I helped you ... please rate my advice <3 Steph

High school can do that to a person, to this day I don't know how I went from like the most popular guy in school, to public enemy number one. Regardless, I would just try to relax, people will approach you if you're friendly, and seem cool. But if you're quiet..... oh god it will get bad. But don't be obnoxious either. Mostly, just be yourself. It will work out. Good Luck.

Like all people would say you gotta face your fear. I mean look at the options...Not talking to someone and having no friends and sitting alone at lunch. ORRR talking to someone and making a new friend and sitting with a group of fantastic people. You pick.
5 seconds of fright = years of good times and friendships.

aw don't worry you'll make friends. Give ppl a chance to get to know you.

You should join some clubs that you really enjoy then you can meet people with the same intrests. Talk to people in your classes and get to know them. At lunch, ask people who seem like really cool people if you can eat with them. You can make awesome friends that way, I made my best friend in 7th grade by asking if I could eat with her. We're still friends and I'm a sophomore! Good luck meeting new people!! <3
LoVe,
HeAthEr!!
