I have to switch schools (7th grade) and I'm so nervous. I have cramps in my stomach and I feel like I'm going to puke. I have talked to friends over the phone about it and they say I'll do fine but I don;t about that. Please, someone tell me what I can do to reduce nervousness of this change?

thpsmasta2k answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 5:46 pm: umm your best move would be just go ahead and do it... i had to move schools when i was a freshman that was really hard cause i didn't want to leave my old friends behind...but the first couple days there be sort of quiet don't do anything to dramatic to make people feel uncomfortable around you and see how things work at the new school... and then after that is over start talking to new people... and i am sure your first day or two people will talk to you and ask you about where you are from...and that is a really good way to meet people also... i think the reason you are so nervous is because you don't know what it is going to be like... i think to make this experience go a little better you should go there knowing that you are gonna be yourslef and that you are gonna make some new friends along the way... and hey if this new school isn't really the best for you... you still have all of your other friends back at home that will help you through this...but hopefully that isn't the case...
americangirl101 answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 12:31 pm: first of all take a deep breath. Ok, now you shouldnt be nerves i come from a school were there is 4 kids in my grade and i have to go to a publix school next year. thats pretty freaky anyway. What you should do is get to know some people who go to that school. be their friends so when you go there youll already no everything (almost). Good luck. <3 American Girl [ americangirl101's advice column | Ask americangirl101 A Question ]
whattheHELLO1514 answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 10:53 pm: all you can do is relax. try to think of it as a new beginning. a way to start fresh. it is what it is, and you cant change the fact that you have to do it. so try to relax with the idea and have a bit of fun with going in new. i have done it so much i can be called an "army brat", and trust me, its alot easier than you first think it out to be.

kittyluvr1826 answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 9:48 pm: Just try to be really friendly and say hi to everyone when you get there. It will instantly make people think "oh she seems really nice, maybe i'll talk to her". Don't just sit there quietly, i know it seems hard, but it will pay off. And yes, it will be tough at first, but i'm sure it will go just fine. I had to do that once and i did throw up i was so scared, but i did this, and was really friendly, and i had about 10 friends after a few weeks, and a best friend after about 2 months. so don't worry. realax, and try to enjoy your day.

lollypopgurl769 answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 9:03 pm: hey! aww, i was in the same position as you. i switched schools back in 7th, too. I thought it would be bad, but it was great! I made friends right away, trust me it won't be hard. I'm a freshy in high-school and now THATS hard. But, remember, its a new school, new people, NEW START. I mean, these people know NOTHING about you so in a way, thats kinda good because you get a fresh start and forget about all the mistakes you made and the stupid shit you might of said. I personally lost contact with my other friends, but you should try to keep in contact with them as much as you can. There's no real way I can help you, but just remember that everything will be ok. Have fun! & GOOD LUCK BABAY! If you ever want to talk, IM me or drop one in my inbox. I'll be happy to talk since I went through the same thing! =) *xox-angie* [ lollypopgurl769's advice column | Ask lollypopgurl769 A Question ]

MyPainIsReal answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 7:32 pm: There isn't much you can do really. My friend Brittney had to switch schools one time. She was nervous as well. You just have to focus on positive things and calm yourself down before leaving. Walk in that school with a smile on your face and try to look friendly so people talk to you. If you make a friend when you get there, you will probably feel not as nervous but secure. Don't have a negative attitude about this situation. That will not help at all. Just take a deep breath and take it as it comes at you. I know switching schools isn't easy for most people. Perhaps you could write down the positives about going to this new school and focus on those things so you aren't nervous about the situation. The main thing is try and be calm. Medetate, take deep breaths, close your eyes for a couple seconds, smile, anything to calm you down. :) Good luck with this. [ MyPainIsReal's advice column | Ask MyPainIsReal A Question ]

bAhAmAmA0250 answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 7:28 pm: I can relate right now. I just switched into highschool which is harder. I was scarred, had no idea how to act but whatever i got over it. I just went to school all uptight and everything. I just was really quiet.. slowly made friends. Just be nice and talk to ppl in your classes-Trixxie!
