New School~so scared!


Question Posted Wednesday August 18 2004, 10:40 pm

Hey. Well I'm going into middle school and I practicually know no one there. I am scared that I will not make any friends, and I keep getting scared over and over again just thinking about it. My school starts Aug. 23, and my orientation is tomorrow Aug. 19, and there's going to be 7th graders and new students there and the bus is picking us up. I'm pretty scared about that too, but more scared of the first day of school. Can anyone tell me how to calm down about this and give me motivation so I won't be so scared anymore, and tell me how to make friends early and quick. Thanx!, and I would really appreciate it if you answered my questions.

hey hun, don't worry. I started middle school isn a whole new town, and I didn't know anyone. When they assigned us to our homerooms, we sat in groups., and the teacher was late or whatever, and I just started talking to this girl who was sitting next to me. truth is, everyone is scared and wants to make friends ... everyone is shy. lol. So just talk to them, no matter how scared you are. I almost pissed myself when I did it, but we ended up hanging out at school, and we made tons of new friends after that.

I know this seems typical, but just be fRiendly. Speak out in class - this is a GREAT way to get noticed. Say hello to fellow classmates if you see them in the hallway. Join some clubs also.. that's a good way to meet people; then Right off the bat you know you have something in common with them. And always smile.. smiles definitely get noticed! And wheneveR you see someone sitting alone at lunch oR in the moRning befoRe school, just walk Right up to them and be like, "Hey! How's it goin'?", oR if you have them in a class just say.. "Hey! ARen't you in my [whateveR class]" I know it seems difficult, but you just have to Roll with the punches. Be bold and talkative. Middle School is Really NO big deal, tRust me.. you'll do just fine!! I wish you the best of luck!! Hope I helped!! =D

ask your new principal if a few kids from the school can give you a tour. Or you could ask a teacher to have some students show you around. Charm them with your awesome personality and they'll just go nuts. good luck.

in a few weeks, you'll kno ppl's personalities and first impressions won't matter that much - just be outgoing so you meet as many new ppl as possible

Hey its ok..everybody is looking to make new friends in the beginning of the new school year. I know I am and i have plenty of friends. So dont worry..lots of ppl will be looking to make new friends. People are at their friendliest in the beginning of the year. so motivate yourself by staying positive and keeping in mind that everyone will be searching for new friends also.Nothing to be afraid of! Just be friendly and open and you`ll make lots of friends!To make friends quick, spark convos with people...they`ll repsond greaT! Get those butterflys out and keep positive. Get talking about a teacher, your summer, anything..one thing will lead to another and before you know it, you`ll have great friends. Keep on the lookout for new students..they are DESPERATE for new friends and will love it if you start a convo with them..ask where they came from etc.
You`ll be great trust me! :)
