Hey I moved 40 miles into a different state meaning I also had to switch schools. I was going into 9th grade and I wasnt really that nervous.

Theres going to be alot of other kids from different schools so not everyone is going to know each other so try to talk to some people around you in yoru classes and sit with people at lunch.

Everything worked out great for me!
Good luck!

well, mines kinda the opposite. i went to a private school, and switched to public schools, and i switched at like the end of the year, i was so scared, i wouldnt find any friends, but it turned out, i made a ton. it took me about a week. [im a tad shy too.] i have so many friends now, and it turned out great. it will probably be even easier for you to make friends in a private school, because, there may not be as many kids as public. don't worry about it, i didnt think i would make any friends, and i remember i posted like a million questions about switching schools, and everyone always said "it will be fine youll make friends." And i never believed it. but trust me. you will. just smile at people, and be polite. since your going there into 9th grade, which is highschool, that means, there will probably be a bunch of kids, from all over, going there, and just as nervous.

good luckk. (:

I went to a new school my freshman year too! I was sooooo nervous, I could barely eat for 2 weeks before it started. But I decided that it was my chance to start over. I told myself there's no time to be shy or have self esteem issues. I was really scared, but I made myself be outgoing. On the first day, I made sure and introduced myself to everyone, I looked people in the eye and made sure to always have a smile on my face. I met a couple of nice people and asked to sit with them at lunch. Then I sat with new people the next day, and so on. In all of my classes, I made sure to speak loudly and make it look like I was super confident, even though I was freaking out inside. I talked to everyone, whether they seemed Cool/popular or not. Soon I stopped having to try to be outgoing, it just became natural. And you know what? Within the first couple of weeks, everyone knew my name, and I had tons of friends. My social life was thriving. To this day, I'm known as super confident, outgoing, and friendly, and I don't have a single enemy at my school (which has about 1500 people at it). I think if I had gone in there with my chin down and second guessing myself, no one would have given me a second thought. If I had allowed myself to be shy, I wouldn't have half the friends I do today. So seriously, even if you're scared, make yourself go talk to people. Don't be scared to flirt with the cute guy or talk to the popular girl. But also, don't forget about the nice guy who sits next to you in science or the girl who showed you where the bathroom was on the first day, because they deserve attention too. & that's really important. Most of all, let yourself have fun! A lot of people would kill for a chance to start over, a chance to become the person they want to be with no one there to know their past.

Good luck =)

I dont know much about entering a new school myself, but my exboyfriend was new to the school when I met him. I suppose that you just need to introduce yourself to someone, and ask them if you can sit with them at lunch. This will help you make friends. Who knows, maybe someone will even introduce themselves to you (this is what I did with my ex). Talk about the things you like, and see what they like. As you continue to hang out with them, and get more comfortable in the school, you will be able to make more friends. After a while, you will find your niche in the school, and you'll have tons of friends (or who knows, maybe even a boyfriend/girlfriend (you didnt specify your gender, sorry =p)). Good luck at your new school!
