If it is, just blend in the first day or two, and then you'll start recognizing people, learning your way around, and making new friends naturally by working with them in your classes. Enemies? Pshaw. You don't have to have enimies, but chances are, you'll inherit the ones your new friends have lol. To get over your gitters, go out shopping and get some new clothes to build some confidence, make sure you're really prepared, know your schedule. I know my school hands out notebooks that have maps of the school in it. Map your course through the school so you know where you're going. Be sure to plan in locker-stops if need be. It'll be natural within the first month. Don't worry about it. Teachers are really helpful for new students. Don't be afradi to ask questions.

Just be yourself. You will probably get used to your classes and have fun in them. Teachers will warm up to you, and friends? Don't worry... Stick with the friends you have at the moment and as the year goes on you will make some new friends. In high school you are prone to be nervous!
Good luck! *ems* [ emster812's advice column | Ask emster812 A Question ]

classes-nothing to worry about, every1s in the same situation as you are, because they're new to the class too.
new friends-that's actually a good thing. you might meet people you really enjoy hanging out with.
teachers-EVERYONES afraid of teachers.
friends-same as b4.
enemies-don't worry about it whatsoever, because worrying doesn't make them go away. they'll always people you won't like and people you will.
juss think positively as best as you can and you'll be ok. juss remember that every1 went through the same situation at one time er another. stay strong!
HectorJr answered Friday August 12 2005, 7:28 pm: Don't worry too much about getting back into school. Really the first few classes are mostly about orientation, rules, etc. Making new friends is always a challenge, but has its rewards. See someone struggling with a subject or with work? Try to help them out if you can. Someone feeling upset? Try to cheer them up. Helping people is usually a good way to gain their trust, and from there build a relationship.
Teachers are teachers. They really can't do anything to you if you do all your homework and pay attention. You might not want to be talking all the time in class either, apparently they don't like that too much. Everyone gets different teachers, but you might actually find that while your teachers might be more difficult than others, if you had a different set of teachers you might have not done as well as you are.
Enemies...I've always found that probably one of the easist ways to becomming someones friend, is to find someone you both dislike or considers you their enemy. Kind of like a 2-on-1 thing, because you can both relate to the situation your in. In terms of making enemies, just give everyone space. Let everyone say and do what they want. If your always trying to help people, then it doesn't seem likely that you would make any enemies. But if you start making jokes about people, laughing at people, shutting people down, being judgemental, etc, then you might have to watch out for yourself.
Try to enjoy the last few moments of summer by asking people you know to hang out. Maybe go swimming, a movie, or just hang out at someones house. Do something fun to get your mind off of that. If you feel stressed out you can even go and maybe workout. Nothing too much, maybe some bike riding, running, of that sort. Talk to people you know that are also going in to school. Heck, you might actually be the least one worried. Just talk about what you think its gonna be like, who you will get as teachers, anything that might be new, your different subjects, etc. Don't think that its going to be all work and no play. Sophmore year is tough, but if you keep your head up and do all your work [trust me on that one], it'll be no problem. Good luck. [ HectorJr's advice column | Ask HectorJr A Question ]
