for my friend


Question Posted Wednesday August 10 2005, 11:33 am

The new school year is coming very soon and I'm going into 9th grade (so is my friend)and we recently received our schedules. She really doesn't like school, and she says she has no friends in her classes, and we don't have any classes together except maybe lunch. And she's not looking forward to this year at all 'cause 7th and 8th grade sucked, and I'll agree on that. I just told her to try to look at school with a positive outlook. She won't listen and doesn't believe. I just don't know what to do. I really wish she would just try to enjoy her time even though it's school.

Does anyone know what I can do about her feeling this way? I've tried to help her, I just don't know what to say.

thanks in advance.

She is probably just having some anxiety about the new year. Going into high school is a pretty big change. I think once school starts and she sees it isn't all that bad she will enjoy it. I don't know if there is anything you can tell her to ease her mind at the moment, might have to just wait it out. For now just be there to listen and offer encouragement. :)

shes probably just nervous about going into a high school. once you guys get there and figure out all your classes and meet some new ppl she will find some new friends that r in her classes that she can hang out with. you can also join a club or sports team together so that u guys can have some time to talk and hang out together.hope i helped XoXo

Maybe you guys should join a club or play a sport together. That way you'll have something to look forward to about school. Or maybe she doesn't like school because she doesn't do very well in it? If that's the case, let her know that you'd love to help her out if she needs help with homework or studying. Just be supportive and make it fun for her!

hey, goin into high school can be really scary. I went to the highschool where none of my friends were going to. we had the choice of going to one of the 3 highschools in my town, I choose the one where nobody was going to becasue then it would force me to make new friends. If you get stuck hangin out with your old friends from public school you will never get to know anyone else! you guys can still hang out between classes and lunch..it's not like you're both going to a different planet here!
hope this helps :)
lotta love <3 .alaina.

Once she is at school she will relize that you were right. There is nothing she can do but she could talk to the principal or the counslor at your school about changing her schedule. Just because she doesnt have any friends in any classes doesnt mean she cant make any new friends.. it wont hurt her at all. Just tell her to relax and calm down and that since she didnt like 7th && 8th grade that she hast to make this a good year then just complaining about it! Because that will never make anything better and easier for her.

In my school experiences I have learned to just make the best of it. theres nothing you can do to change your schedules, so you might as well try to make friends with the people in your classes. Tell her that. Also who knows she may think it will seem bad, but then it could turn out to be the best year of her life. Let her know that even if it isn't a good year there are still 3 more years of high school. Hope this helps!

Oo..I feel sorry to her..Well actually, I don't like school either, I meant..I don't really have much friends and I'm kinda shy..Tell her that she doesn't have to worry about anything, school is not that bad..There's a good thing in school..You just have to try to fit in..Bring her to your friend, maybe you have to like introduce her to someone who will be in her class.Show her that school is a fun place to go..You can meet your friends, teacher, and even your homework!!lol..just kidding..Hope I helped!
