Of course you're nervous! You have every right to be, I'm nervous and I've been at the same school witht the same friends. For me the scariest part is finding someone at your lunch to sit with. What you may want to do is just ask someone in the class before lunch if you can sit with them. It might be really akward but after a couple days it won't feel so wierd. Besides that there's nothing you can really do! Just be yourself!

when i started going to public school i was nervous i wasnt going to make any friends. but i did. you'll most likely make friends. and if you cant find classes just ask around.<3Brittany

Aw highschool isn't so bad. You'll get in there with your schedule the first day and wander around a bit. The teachers are really helpful with finding classes and perhaps you'll meet a few people in your homeroom or in your lunch you can hang out with. Just stay calm and be yourself. If you're not a horrible, ugly, mean, old, slut than you shouldn't worry lol. And i'm sure you're not. =)
Good luck

the first day will suck.. try to stay after and walk around the school to remember where your classes are and the easiest ways to get there. its usually easier when people arent walking in the halls. making friends can also be hard.. just talk to the people in your classes. ask them if theyre in your lunch, if they are, sit with them. you'll meet the people they sit with and eventually start talking to them. i had to start at a public high school in 9th grade..all my life i went to catholic school before that. so i know how you feel. it got alot easier though. if you need anything else dont be shy. hope i helped & good luck

Oh i kinda had same problem with you, except that i moved to US from dif country and i didnt speak English very much...so i didnt know anyone and stuff...so i know how you feel so feel free to email me about ANYTHING! from make up to clothing to boys to cliques anything.
and dont worry about class, because i've been in Middle school and trust me, every body gets lost.
and especially in High School, the freshmen always get lost, so dont make that much of a big deal out of it, there are probably people standing there to help you out, and talk to people around you asking do you have this class? and if they do and if they seem nice, then ask for their help. thats how i made friends.
and bring a magzine with you during lunch or free time(not during class when you can get in trouble) and take out your magz and thats how you can get people to talk to you. it works!
so if there are anything you want to know then ask away and i will answer your question ASAP

well im feeling the same way. im going to high school and im scared bout getting lost too. but you are gonna get used to the school in a week or so. n belive me you will make friends eveyone does.i think you are feeling like any teenager.
]
it wont be that bad, the first couple of days it will probably suck becuase you dont know anyone and what not but just dont act like a bitch and dont act shy.

okay. first of all its alright to be nervous. i mean everyone would be nervous if they are going to a new school and dont know anyone. but i can guarantee that you WILL find friends. people ALWAYS do. and if you cant find your classes... its ok! just ask a hott guy to show you where they are.
hope i helped.

Breathe!!!!! People at high school are GREAT!! Just put your self out there. Ask people their names at your table and be brave. First don't be afraid to ask questions and second don't show anyone you are scaried. Be happy and hold you head up high. Happy Typing!!!

Aww, don't stress hun!
Everyone is nervous for starting highschool. And i feel your pain about going to a public school again, its SUPER hard. :(
Don't doubt yourself on saying "You won't make any friends".. thats what i thought. But you will make TONSSS of friends, i gurantee it.
Just remember to be yourself, don't try to fit in..and always smile :)
If you need help finding a class, just ask a hall monitor or a teacher near by. They will help you with where you need to go. And if im not mistaken, they should have already gave you a schedual & hall directions.
Take Care & Good Luck!!

Don't worry, lol you shall do fine. It is actually good that you don't know anyone, that just makes it all the more easier to make friends. Be talkative to people, be cheerful and say hello to everyone, learn everyone's names if you can and be, speak up in class so you can get noticed, and just be kind and nice to everyone and you will have friends by the end of your first day
As for finding classes, don't worry about it as much. You are always given a passing period (varies from school to school in time) to get your stuff and head off to the next class so you should be good all around. You might try and get there a bit early as well just to have a look around the school, find your classes, talk to more people, etc.
Hope this helps and have a good first day!

Heheh I remember those days.. when I started high school, I had been going to catholic school all my life and then I was suddenly changed to a public school, where I didn't know anyone. You just gotta realize a couple things.. first being that you will be nervous.. but evreyone else will be too. Remember, theres a whole lot of other freshmen in the same shoes as you. Yeah, some of them already seem to fit in, but there are other kids that feel just as awkward as you, if not moreso.
Just remember that you will make friends, just try to be nice to people. theres always people that are outgoing enough to talk to others.. even if your not then someone else is and theyll end up talking to you. Just be nice and everything should be fine.. it did with me and I'm one of the quietest people you'll ever meet, now I'm going to be a senior this upcoming year and at least half my graduating class at least knows who I am.
And finding classes, that's another thing that allll the new people will be going through. Again, with few exceptions, but there is still the majority of people that are just as lost as you. Just don't freak out, stay calm, and remember the teachers should understand if you're late, and the kids won't laugh at you.
Any more questions or comments, inbox me please.

You will make friends even if it isn't right off join some after school things and you will make f
friends. as for finding classes there will be other people that have a hard time finding them too even if they do go to the school, new scheduals make it hard for everyone for a while. you'll do fine and if you need help finding a place just find a teacher and ask!

hey... 1st of all you will meet SOO many new people and im almost positive you will find a group of friends who share the same interests as you... of course everyone on the 1st couple days are going to be strugling with finding classes, and pretty soon youll learn all the ropes and get to having a kick ass freshman year.. just be careful for the older girls they can be bitchy to 'stupid freshman' and all the seniors go for the freshman so choose wisely and be careful with your heart! well good luck to you and have a awesome year

Honey, you're going to do great!! It's hard going into highschool alone, I see why starting at a public highschool would worry you more.
Of course you aren't going to know anyone. You're new. And it's difficult for a person to go to a new school. I've done it before. But see, the kids will all be interested in you. Because you're new. They'll be encouraged to get to know you. Think about it. You see and know the same people all the time, it gets boring. People are going to wonder about you. And while you may feel like you're being judge, I'm not going to lie. You will be. But carry yourself well, and people will love you. Don't act nervous! You are going to be fine. People will love you! You seem so sweet and nice! There should be people within the week that will talk to you. They shouldn't expect you to be very talkative since you are new. So if someone talks to you, make sure you give them a good impression. Just be yourself and I'm sure that will win them over!
Well, since you're not used to the school why don't you ask a neighbor your age or someone to help you find your way around. Schools can be hard, but wait till you get into college! Haha..
Sorry, I know you're nervous. But if you have a homeroom, they will usually pass out a little booklet on the school rules and what not. They should have a map of the school on there. Hopefully you can use that for help. But if you can, I would ask someone. The teachers are there for assistance. And sweetie, don't think that you won't make friends.
You're probably afraid of rejection. But you know what, I bet that they won't give you a hard time. Afterall, you'll be new. And that is already a task in itself. As I said, you are going to be just fine. People will want to get to know you!
Just try and relax and enjoy the rest of tonight. Try not to think about school until it actually happens. I know it's hard because, in a way, you get excited. In good excitement or bad. But remember if you get through this first day (you already accomplished something this year_ and you will get through it.
Love,
Mandee

Absolutely everyone felt the same way on their first day of high school. I was sure I would get lost. I knew I would get lost, I knew people would laugh at me. I was sure I wouldn't make friends, and that I would make a fool of myself.
Look around you. EVERY SINGLE ADULT that you know, that you see, felt the same way on that day. Watch TV, every single person you see on TV, movie stars, TV stars, even American Idols, news anchors, people in commercials. Every single one of them felt that way on their first day of school. When you get to school, all the freshmen will be feeling the say way. Sure some of them may know each other, and have friends going in, but they are still scared they'll get lost, and make fools of themselves. I guess the point is, that we all survived and there is no other way to get through it then to do it. I guarantee in 30 days, you'll know your way around, and you'll have some friends. And in thirty years or so, you can tell your daughter that while she may be scared about staring high school, she too will survive. Good luck to you.

I've been there!!! I started public school last year and was totally creeped out. I didn't know anybody either. I made friends by just opening up to a lot of people and really trying to get to know them. If you don't know where your classes are, get a map at the office. That'll definitely help. And with the teachers, make a good impression so they'll like you for the whole year. Be polite and smile a lot because they don't get that much at public skool. If you do all that, you'll be set so don't worry!!!

You should try to get to school a few minutes early so you have time to find your locker and your classes. First just go to your locker and put anyhting you dont need in it and if you see anyone around your locker you could try tlaking to them. Tell them you're new there. If you start talking to some people maybe they can help you with finding you classes and you may be able to make some friends really quick. After you go to your locker go find your first classroom. If you can't find it on your own ask someone if they can point you in the right direction. If you have time, after you find your first class, you should look for your next classes. If you don't have time to, you can ask your first period teacher where your next class is.
Just go in with an open mind and if you need anything just ask someone for help... And don't worry, high school isn't nearly as bad at they like to make it look on tv. Hope you have a great school year.

Dear confused and freaked,
Listen, you just need to calm down and take a breath ok? You will be fine! i went to a private school until 6th grade and i didn't know anyone at my school either. I was REALLY nervous jus like you are about high school. But by trying out for different sports and just opening up, i made tons of awesome friends!! And im sure you will get the hang of finding your classrooms too... its a piece of cake hun!!
