this isn't really a big deal but im really nervous about it--
okay, so i go to a private school, and i have since 6th grade.(im in eighth now)And today we just got some serious news. Our school is also a church, and the church is moving to a different building next year. They pay for half of our school, and we're a poor school as it is, so we cant pay for it all on our own. So there's this school thats about 15 minutes away from my school, and its huge.Its really nice inside, and they have air conditioning (which we dont have) and its super nice there. But im so nervous because its a whole new school, new people, and im not so great at making friends. Im outgoing and hyper and stuff but my weakness is making friends, and im not really good friends with anyone in my class, so i really wanna make friends there. Im also scared that i'll get lost because its so big!please give me advice i rate all 5's!

I'm sure there are MANY other people thinking exactly the same thing to you. Making friends can be difficult but you have to put a brave face on and introduce yourself with a big, fat smile on your face. Create conversations with people. Smile at people passing you by, even if you don't think you'd want to be their friend anyway.
About geting lost, it happens to us all. On your first day, why not stay after school and see where all the rooms are?
You'll be fine and remember, confidence is helpful!
I know my advice is easier said than done but try it...you could get some interesting results! :)
Best of luck!

Going to a new skool is fun, but at the same time very nerve racking! You just need to ask your 1st hour teacher where you need to go to for your 2nd hour and you shouldn't have a problem finding it.
♥ Making friends isn't easy so don't be ashamed if thats your weakness. I do encourage you to boost your weakness although. First off find a gurl/guy who you think would be a good friend. You might want to observe them for a few days (NOT STOCKING) see what they are like and then go for the kill. Start talking to them and if you don't like them move on to another one and repeat the prosses.
♥ Last, don't be nervous. Calm yourself down and understand that you are just one of the many comming to this place. Just be calm, play kool, be yourself, and dress decent for the first day!
Imperialistic answered Friday November 11 2005, 9:56 pm: Well then go ahead and be yourself. Be outgoing and friendly. Join some clubs and sports teams. Randomly say hi to other girls in the washrooms and start conversations. Talk to people who sit around you in class. Chat with some kids in the caf and ask them what's good on the food menu.
Just be careful when being hyper. Sometimes people think that aspect is annoying.
Also, dress to impress for (at least) the first few days. Take extra care with your clothes/hair/makeup but don't overdo it. Just try to make a good impression.
Good luck :) [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
sunnyville answered Friday November 11 2005, 9:53 pm: If I were you I would go to this school like I was getting transfer to this big school,I was very nervous,also I was afraid of getting lost but once you get the hang of it you won't get lost for sure,and observe how the room numbers go but I made lots of friends so can you!What you got to do is since you are not good at it talk to someone who you see sitting alone then start a conversation like say hi,introduce yourself to him/her then ask how they feel about the school,and all.Also this school you say is nice,has air conditioning which is great especially for the summer stop thinking about it go,even though there will be a lot of new people there have confidence in yourself which is very important, for sure you will achieve things, and succeed in life don't lose it!Hope everything goes fine!
