High School
I will be freshman this year. And I'm so scared and nervous. My curent friends are like family, but I can't really be myserlf around them. They are too much into guys. But I've been through alot with them in middle school. And I don't really have any other close friends. So what should I do? Should I find new friends, or stick with the ones I got?

definately keep the friends you have now but at the same time make a lot of new friends. your going into high school which is the perfect time to meet new people and really fit in somewhere.

You should try to make some new friends. I am a gonna be a freshman this year and i am gonna do the same. You and make now friends and keep your own too.

i'll be a freshman too this year but i've already been in high school one year. let me tell you it's tough. i would deffinatly say to stick with your friends because you're really going to need them. if your school is like mine then you eat lunch with every grade and you will not want to be the only one without people to hang out with.

I know just what you're going through. I'm going to be a Freshman this year too, and I'm very nervous. It's ok to make new friends, but you shouldn't just forget about the old ones. Make some more. You can never have too many friends.

Highschool is a whole different world. You really HAVE To go and find new friends AND keep the old ones. But, I really don't mean to get you upset, but I've been there... I lost ALOT of my really close friends from elementry and middle school and found GREAT new friends when I got into highschool. So, don't be suprised if you guys end up not speaking to eachother. Highschool can be a great experience for alot of people and a really horrible one for others. But highschool changes people, be it for the better or for the worse. I'll give you a quote by Paris Hilton, and me experiencing highschool (my freshman year was last year) it's completely true:
Once you enter high school things change.
Your best friend becomes a B.i.t.c.h ***** (happened to me)
Your boyfriend becomes a P.r.i.c.k
Homework goes in the T.r.a.s.h
Cell phones are being used in C.l.a.s.s
Detentions becomes S.u.s.p.e.n.t.i.o.n
Soda becomes B.e.e.r ******
Gum becomes P.o.t****
Bikes become C.a.r.s
Lollipops becomes C.i.g.a.r.e.t.t.e.s
Lip-gloss becomes M.a.k.e.u.p
French kissing becomes S.e.x.
....yeah high school does change everybody, whether you want it to or not....
That's what happens in highschool. Be careful. Don't get mixed in with the wrong croud.

Don't be so nervous about high school! It's really not as bad as the movies make in seem. For now, you should stick with the friends you have so that you have people to hang out with in the beginning of the year. Just because they're into guys doesn't mean they aren't great friends. You'll probably start to make new friends later in the year, and when that time comes you can start to hang out with new people. But remember not to completely ditch your old friends! I'm sure they still love you even though you have different interests. :-)

hi. i was like that with my one friend. we did not talk or go over each others houses for like two years. but then we just started hanging again so i think you should stick with your friends. also we did talk but like only 3 times aweek.

Hey don't be nervous bout that, it's nothing to be nervous about! Keep the friends you got because those are the friends you have been through everything with and you have all the memories with them. But also make new friends though, and as a freshman in highschool you will have TONS of chances to make new friends. And even though you feel like your friends are too much into boys and you can't really be yourself around them, they still are your friends and you still can make the most of being friends with them. Be yourself around them also, because you should never try and put a front up when you are around your friends, that only creates a false image for them that eventually will come crashing down. If they are really your friends they will stay with you when you are yourself and like you for who you are.
So keep the friends you have and try and make new ones, it never is bad to have new friends, never!
Hope this helps and you have a good year being a freshman!

P.S. Don't be nervous!

I see everyone else has suggested "both". I agree and I say you should go for both! The first few days people are most likely going to stick with people they know. It helps you get into a comfort zone. Once you're okay with the school and classes, you might want to see who else is at the school. You don't have to confine yourself to just one group. You're always free to do something with your old friends after school and find new friends at lunch...do whatever floats your boat. Or you could even join groups together! There are lots of options.
Don't worry about your friends being into guys too much. It's the hormones and at this point I know a lot of people that are boy crazy. You can either join in with them, or just find someone else to talk to while they're rambling on about a new boy.
And don't worry about being nervous! The first week is when you're getting used to it. After the second week you'll feel much more comfortable. Just remember everyone else is feeling nervous too, so you're not alone.

I would actually do both. Since there are so many new people that you're going to be around, start becoming friendly and hang out with them with them. But don't completely lose touch with your current ones, just expand a little.

Do both! You're going to meet soo many new people at high school, and hopefully you'll make a lot of friends. But it's always nice to keep those old friends too. If you can't be yourself around them, find friends that you can be. Good luck, and don't be nervous or scared, it's not any different except the school's bigger.

Do both, make new friends and stick with the ones you've got. High school is going to change your life so you're bound to make many new friends. I'm going to be a freshman also and I know that I'm going make new friends and keep the ones that I have now. Yes, you're going to be nervous for the first few weeks of starting high school but that will change, don't worry.

you are gonna change so much in high school and your friends are gonna change, even if you dont want them too...its life...you'll meet new people no matter what and dont be so hard on yourself...if you and your friends dont stay close, thats too bad, but you'll meet someone who will be interested in the same stuff as you are so dont worry!!!

I went throught the exact same feelings last year. Don't worry you'll make a ton of new friends. On my first day of school, people from my old school met up and we hung around. Then we later started meeting knew people. I hada couple of friends in my classes from previous years but making new ones was kinda hard. Well I met one of my bestest friends at lunch. Open up get to know people. Get involve, join a sport and clubs. Be social. And reeber...make new friends but keep the old one is silver and the other is gold!

I'm going to be a freshman too! And im nervous as well!! lol, anyways.. i think you should make new friends, but that doesnt mean you have to get rid of your old ones! there is plenty of people in highschool. Ones who are boy crazy and ones who arent. There is nothing wrong with having both be your friends.

Stick with the ones you've got, because old friends are always great to have, but find some new ones too! And don't start out your freshman year acting like someone you're not. Just be yourself, and you will make SO many new friends. HS is a great place to do that, and of course to build stronger bonds with your old friends. Good luck in HS though, it goes wayyy faster than you'd think.
