Hey. Alright... try not to worry too much about this. At first, you might feel uncomfortable at your new school, but after a while, it will definitely get better. Besides, school should be letting out soon (I think.) =)

There is no reason for you to sit along at lunch. In class, you can find someone who acts friendly, and try to make friends. Then, if ya'll have the same lunch, then you can just ask her/him if you can sit at their table. In most cases, no one will flat out say, "No."

I skipped from sixth grade (last year) to eighth grade (this year). I didn't really know anyone in 8th, but I asked someone who seemed pretty friendly if I could sit at her table, and now I still sit with them, everyday, and I always hang out with them at school now (on field trips, dances, stuff like that). So definitely don't be afraid to ask someone if you can sit with them.

Another important thing on making friends is that you should never be mean to anyone (spreading rumors, lying, telling other people they're fat or ugly or w/e). That can seriously damage your reputation because one person will tell the next that you're mean, and after a while, everyone will think so. Also, just act like yourself. Be fun, funny, friendly, and always there for others.

I don't think that people will think you're a s*** if you try to make friends with the guys, as long as you're not "overly friendly",if you know what I mean.

Well good luck!!

I just started a new school too this year. Sometimes it's really hard trying to fit in and make friends. Are you in junior high or high school? Because I'm in junior high and that was hard enough. Maybe you'll end up sitting next to someone in class you could make friends with, or they'll come up to you. Good Luck. write back and tell me how it goes.

hmm well i think maybe you should just go to school and be yourself, and act nice, ((but dont act like a suck-up)) . thats probably the best way to make friends. or try to like "cling" to one person, because most likely they have more friends that they will introduce you too. and just like start conversations with people, and dont be shy. good luck!

When I was a freshman in high school, I went to a brand new school in another town. So, I know exactly how you feel. Its really hard at first, but just be nice, funny and friendly. Most importantly, confident. It will be easier for people to get to know you. I think you should at least try making friends with the girls first. Because your right, judgmental people might think thats "slutty". Of course its not - but its better to try your best to stear clear of rumors or labels in any way you can! I'm sure you wont sit alone at lunch. And you might know this already, but the movie MEANGirls is totally un-realistic. That wont happen to you. I promise. Just say to a table, "Hi, Can I sit here?" They will most likely say yes. ♥ Laura

Well. you're going to get a first impression no matter what.. if you hang with the girls, then the guys will think "Okay, she might be lesbian"..if you hang with the guys the girls are going to think "Wow, what a slut"..basically, but after 2 weeks maybe that will go away..and just try to find a 'clique' with guys and girls in it, it will make it easier..

and yes I agree, guys are much easier to be friends with. they dont care about looks, weight, nails..that is if they are just friends..

hey, i have moved 5 times in my life, i know exactly how you feel. the best way to fit in is not by trying to make them like you by being someone else, but being yourself, that way they HAVE to like you. Go ahead and tell the jokes, or whatever you like to do, make peolpe know that that is who you are and thats that. Also, im not sure how old you are, but thats a good way to avoid drugs too... another thing, they wont consider you a slut, unless you try to make them like you by drooping, or showing your body. just be yourself, its hard to ignore when someone is theirself for one big reason- not very many people are theirselves, they always try to be cool, or be in, i cant stress it enough B-E Y-O-U-R-S-E-L-F! good luck at your new school!

Don't worry about it to much.Someone will be eager to find out what they can about the new kid. Male or female you will have friends before you know it.I always found guy's easier to make friends with myself because I just have more common intrests with them.That and I was never much for a those girlie games! Never was considered a slut that I know of! So, make friends with whoever you like. Good luck at the new school :)

they wont think youre a slut for making friends with the guys. i suggest talking to people in class and start up conversations. find out whos in your lunch period, and if you stike up conversations with people someone WILL ask you to sit with them at lunch. i guarentee everyone is nice to the new girl! plus, it wont be hard making friends with the guys, cause you know how it is, guys are always happy theres a new girl, and they'll want to get to know you. its alot easier being the new girl in the middle of the year, rather than the first day of school because everyone is nervous and confused. but in the middle of the year everyone is welcoming, you know? good luck!
