Maybe give some free advice about: School?
OMG that's totally me! I came from a Catholic school to and now I'm going to a public school with no uniforms, no nice people, and no lockers!!!!!!!!!! I know it sucks. But you can keep most of your books home. Anyway just stay calm and when you go into highschool hold your head high and think of this. "These people are no better than me" or "I will succeed" Something with confidence in it. Repeat it to yourself a few times until your comfortable with your surroundings. Then go to your class sit in the front if possible and don't think about anything or anybody just your class. You'll meet a friend trust me. You can also join a few clubs that your interested in. Remember good friends have something in common. Whether its style, music, or sensitivity. Good Luck!!

hey dont worry about it ive been in this position before as well but now i look back at highschool and not much of it matters i will tell you this i walked in with one friend and walked out with a lot more that i still talk to. the key word is to be your self no matter what anyone says dont change for anyone some people will like you some wont thats the way it goes as for being nervous about being alone or on the bus where head phones and listen to the radio or your favorite cd it wil take your mind off of being by yourself and relax you. dont worry about that boy hes just a person and nothing else so you shouldnt be intimidated. yes highschool is crowded but you just push your self through it . as for forgetting things write them down. and make a joke about it. i could rarely open my locker so alot of times i had to ask for help it turned into a joke the good kind. and i could laugh about it. if anyone trys to hassle you which some people might for no reason dont even listen to it because some people just like to start stuff. youll get use to it just go at your own pace. dont worry about what other people think.

Just be ready to introduce yourself. People will want to meet you if you present yourself the right way. You're not the only one who's confused & everyone is looking to make a friend. At times I can be shy, but highschool has made things way easier when communicating with people I just met.

Alright,
You are worrying way too much about this. Yes the hallways maybe crowded, and maybe you will have a hard time finding your classes, but a lot of the other freshmen will be feeling the exact same way!
You could always sit with one of your neighbors on the bus. Or if you dont want to do that just sit in an empty seat, when the bus fills up, someone will have to come sit by you and you can use that to make a new friend. But in all honestly sitting by yourself on the bus is kinda nice!
To open your locker:
lets say your # is 12-45-6
1. Spin the dial around a few times
2. Turn the dial to the right and stop on 12
3. turn the dial to the left and go past 45 once, on the second time around stop on 45
4. turn the dial to the right and stop on 6
5. Pull up on the handle thing
As for lunch, try to find someone from one of your classes earlier in the day. And if all else fails just go up to someone and introduce yourself and ask if you can sit with them.
Good Luck and try not to be so nervous

I won't lie. The first day will probably suck ass if you're a new at a school. Been there, done that. But it doesn't have to suck if you don't worry so much & atleast be somewhat optimistic & outgoing. Can't open your locker? That should probably be last of your worries. No big deal. Get to school early & get the hang of it before the day actually begins. If all else fails, just ask someone for help. Don't know where your classes are? Neither does half the school. No one will expect you to be right on time the first few days or so. Getting on the bus & sitting with no one? Who cares? Most people on the bus aren't too social anyway. Sit by yourself, it's not a big deal, really. Go to lunch by yourself? Go up to someone from one of your classes & ask them if you can sit with them. No one is going to be mean & say no. & if they do, then you wouldn't want to sit with them anyway. Trampled in the halls? I went to a couple schools with 2200-2600 kids, it can't be too much worse. Just don't stop & stand in the middle of the hall. I know I used to push them. The guy across the street? Just be yourself & ask if it's cool to sit with him on the bus; maybe you guys can be friends. I remember overreacting on my first day of freshman year & now I laugh at how pointless it was. New experiences are a little nerve-wrecking, but don't let it bother you. High school was fun; enjoy it while it lasts because pretty soon you'll be graduated & sitting on advicenators wishing you were that scared freshman just so you could experience it..all over again. Good luck :)

Heyyy. I'm not gonna lie it is a little harder at first but only because of such big change, but I think you're definitly WAY over thinking it! If your highschool is big then yes the hallways are going to be crowded and you'll probably get pushed and stepped on a few times. People don't care and they get through there how they want to. It's not that bad though if you just go with everyone and don't stop in front of someone ya know? And don't worry about not having friends, you'll make plenty in all of your classes and some of them will probably have the same lunch as you. So try to find people that do and plan ahead to sit with them for the first few days so you aren't alone. Everything else you just have to get used to. There will be teachers standing by their doors and whatnot if you get lost, or get a map. Everyone,or almost everyone else going into your grade is just as worried as you are so don't sweat it, you'll be fine! You'll probably like it better than junior high because of the freedom! Anyways if you need anything else send one to the inbox!

hey there!
dont worry, freshman year isn't so bad. i'm going to be a sophmore this year and to tell you the truth i'm nervous to go back, but i know that everything is going to be fine. well in the morning if you have homeroom or some people call is home base just get to know those people and ask them if they have of the same classes as you. everyone is going to be getting lost so just try to work with each other and ask people for help. on my first day of freshman year i talked to everyone and anyone. just be yourself and take everything easy. dont run in the hall trying to get to your class just take your time and dont worry so much about what the other people think. try to make at least one friend in every class. i know you'll make it! hope this helps!

Dont worry so much. high school is not as bad as they say. if you are worried you will get lost maybe you should practice ging to your classes and finding them so you know where to go. And as for making friends when you go to class talk to some people when you go to your classes. Or start going out for a sport or even band or something you can always make friends doing activities like those. or there is cheerleading or drama or something like that. If you relax and say everything will be fine then it will but if you constantly think of the worst then the worst will happen
