The nerves of starting high school...please help me
I'm a very quiet girl with social anxiety disorder...and I am going into the 9th grade...only two of my friends from middle school are going to the same high school as me...and Im even shy around them. I've known them for two years and I hate this...what do I do to make more friends easily..I know only a few other people from my middle school thatare going too but I was never really friends with them...I just don't know what to do and I'm starting school this Wednesday (It's Saturday now) and the nerves are really starting to get to me...
Not just as far as making friends go...but I also really really hate presenting projects or reports in front of the class and I'm just so scared. I can't help it at all...
And what do I need for high school? Not just socially, but what do teachers look for and stuff...
TY so much..
I appreciate it..

Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
Just sit down with someone in lunch or walk up to someone, introduce yourself, and start talking to them about their interests or something. It will come. You will make plenty of friends, I promise you. I started out with no friends at all and ended up with so many that I couldn't even keep in contact with them all.

Hey, you know who u remind me of? Mia from the Princess Diaries. She used to be like you sound, but look how she turned out! A totally awesome girl! Now as for your making friends dilema, here's what i suggest. Walking around school, smile at everyone- that's sure to get you noticed.Also, try to join clubs and stuff, so then you have lots of opportunities to meet new people. You also might have to work on opening up to people- but many people are shy, so that's OK. As for projects, well, maybe a couple days or so before you present, try presenting in front of people you know. If that dosen't work, try talking to your teacher about it. Hope this helps!
