Hi, I'm 17 years old/female and i failed 10 grade AGAIN..this will be my third time taking 10 grade...only b/c i missed soo many days of school. When im at school, i get straight A's and go on honor roll. But, the school years coming up and i'm yet again in 10th grade. I'm really nervous on meeting ppl ALL over again and i have NO idea who to sit with at lunch. I'm soo scared about all this. My friends tell me that ppl will come up to me and try and be friends with me, but they didnt last year !! And, i'm not the type AT ALL to just walk up to ppl and say "can i sit wit you at lunch?" or something lyk that. So, i really don't know what to do at all. Please help me. Thanx so much «3

I have // had a friend that failed, and she just kept hanging out with the same people. I mean, you're still the same age + stuff, and you were friends with them for a long time before, so .. yeah. But anyways, if you want to meet new people, you're going to HAVE to talk to new people + ask if you can sit with them at lunch + stuff. It's really not that big of a deal.

icey0990 answered Friday August 20 2004, 12:59 pm: Hey..I think a lot of girls will find you to be a role model type because your older and you have more experience in stuff. Once you get to know some people, you`ll have no troubles! Get talking with someone who looks friendly in one of your classes..even if you just ask their name it sparks a conversation because then she asks your name..and the convo carries on. If you make friends during classes before lunch, you`ll have no problem when you go to a table. You wont have to go to a table and ask. The besy way is to make friends during morning classes then your home free :) I know i always look out for the new people because its interesting to get to know somebody new
-you`ll do great hun... ! :)
