I just moved here from a different state & I'm starting school on Monday next week. I'm extremely nervous, I've never moved schools before & I'm 15. Pretty much, my question is: At lunch, I'll probably be sitting by myself. Does anyone have any suggestions on some things I could do to interest me, while sitting at lunch by myself. I don't want to look stupid and just sit there and stare around at people. I want to be able to do something. I'm not going up to people and asking them to sit with them because, I'm not that type of person. Thanks for your help.

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
If you're not going to go up to them and ask to sit with them, then go to lunch a little late, and find a table with a few people, and sit down. No asking involved. Just say, "Hey, I'm new, I'm ________." If you really don't want to do that, you could always just bring some homework or something to the table. I always use lunchtime to get my math homework done...or at least copy it ;). You could bring a book or magazine to read too. Don't sweat it, at my school there's not exactly any tables completely empty, so you CAN'T sit alone, and you might end up having to meet someone new, but who knows, you could end up with a great friend!
Love,

Well it's okay to be extremely nervous about going to a new school, but just think.. there will probably be other new people there too who will be just as nervous as you are so it's normal so all you have to do is just calm down and just relax. And then about the lunch thing, you might make some friends before lunch. Like I'm not saying like be super-friendly and everything, but just be polite, be yourself, and just start talking to people. Maybe you'll ask someone where a class is and then you'll end up finding out you have alot in common with them. But if you don't make any friends before lunch, then maybe just bring a CD player to listen to music to while you eat, or bring a notebook to doodle in ( or maybe write a note to one of your friends back home telling her how everything's going so far and stuff ) I know going to a new shcool is tough ; but you'll be fine =) I hope I helped!

I move around alot so i kno exactly wut your going through. Try to make the best impression you can in your classes before lunch. If your seem sweet and kind enough chances are someone will ask you to sit with them. Hope it works!

There's alot of stuff you can do. This is a very interesting question, I actually happen to really like it. Well first off-- though you may not believe it, you might make some friends before lunch. I'm not asking you to go up and be super friendly to anyone just smile and try and make a polite attempt at making friends. Still, if you find yourself alone ... you can :
Read, Listen to Music, Draw/Doodle, Write (make stories, poems), go to the bathroom and talk on your cell phone (if you have one), Go to the computer lab and surf the web, Work on some school work if you have any the first day, Knit if you can, Do lanyard, Bead...
all sorts of stuff. If you need anymore help let me know. Hope all goes well! You'll do fine...it's an exciting chance to make new friends.

well if you really want to sit by yourself then you take a book and read it or a magazine but if you want to sit with someone then in in your periond before lunch talk to people and ask who are the nice teachers and which ones are not. that will get a convosation going and then be like hey you wanna sit with me today at lunch! if they say no dont take it personaly but if they say yes then horray for you!!! :-P

What you should do, before your lunch, is talk to the people in your classes around were you will be sitting, and see if any of them have the same lunch as you, and see if you could maybe sit with them. If you still end up sitting by yourself, look over your schedual, or write in a notebook, to make it look like you are busy and don't really notice what is going on around you.
best of luck at your new school.

think about it you can look at this two ways
1) just act exited and hyper use all of ur nervous energy in a good way be outgoing nobody knows you here at all so you can start out anyway you want to be
2) you can be shy and timid and end up sitting by yourself for a long time while in your head you are going to regret never being outgoing and trying to make friends all the time and who wants that
trust me just start out like you would with your old friends you'll be much happier and the people at your school dont care!! They mgiht think your weird if you are so quiet because u dont say or do anything!!
I hope you take my advice and I hope I helped!! =D

yep, bring a current magazine or a book that has a really interesting cover/title.
be yourself but don't disclose too much. And when you meet new people be sure to ask way more about them and listen to them then yourself. you'll be great!

oh yay! i love this question! i was new last year and i was also 15! oh my gosh i know how excited and scared you prolly feel! and your stomach will be doin flips on the way to school but there's really nothing to worry about. trust me, you won't be sitting alone at lunch. i thought the same way, but i went to my first class and read a magazine so i didnt look so bored and within 10 minutes a girl talked to me! just try to be relaxed and trust me plenty of people will talk to you. and the first day may be a little rocky because you'll be neverous and the other kids are goin to be just as scared about talkin to you, so it will take a while for them to warm up to you, but it will be no time before you'll have friends and it will seem normal again! i'm starting this year and it feels so weird to not be the new kid. I actually kinda miss it! it was an awesome experience and you'll be fine! you have nothing to worry about.
oh and as for your question get a magazine to read. even if you dont read it, u'll still look cool. haha.
if you have any other questions about this u can im me! i'd love to answer, i could go on and on about this. haha.

Take a book and read if you have to. I really doubt you will have to though, you'll have made a friend by lunch time. :)
