Unbelievably scared.
HUGE PROBLEM. I am going to be a freshman this year, and im going to a highschool where I dont know ANYBODY. I mean, not one person. I cant even tell you how unbelievably scared I am.
Can anyone whose in highschool tell me how easy it is to make friends or something? And has this happened to anyone else? IM REALLY SCARED!
THANKS YOU :/

i was a freshman last year. everyone is always really nervous to start high school, because its a bigger school with more people. however, high school really isnt scary at all. there isnt any point in worrying about getting lost, because there are always people who will help you find your way, and not only that, you wont be the only person who cant find their classes. it happens to everybody. you may not know anybody, but there will be a lot of new students who dont know anybody. you also dont have to worry about whether or not you will make friends, because everyone who doesnt know anybody will be very glad for anyone who wants to hang out with them. high school isnt that different from middle school. the only main difference is that the schools a bit bigger, the dances are better, and theres more activities you can get involved in. just act natural and you will make plenty of friends. good luck!

High School is always scary your first year going. I'm a junior this year, but I remember my first day of high school like it was yesterday. I was so nervous the entire summer and I was dreading August. I knew the people in my grade, but that was it. It seemed that no one else was as nervous as I was, but almost everyone was whether they admitted it or not. It's scary, plain and simple. I actually was so nervous my first day, that I threw up before school. I made myself sick with nerves. But when I got there, and walked into my class, everything got better. I hung out with some of my old friends, and met a lot of new. You will too, so don't be nervous.
It's going to be especially nerving for you, because you aren't going to know anyone. But take this as a possitive. You can make a good reputation for youself. You can start over completely and make people like you. Be friendly, and talk to everyone. It's not going to be as bad as you think. I promise.

I'll tell you something. First days are always scary. But by the end of the day, if you remain likeable and fun then you will be satisfied. And remember there are a bunch of other kids that will be in the same situation as you. So scope em out and it'll be no sweat. Its happened to me. I mean, my first day was awesome bc i was approached by tons of people that were super friendly. So i hope the best for you <3

oh gosh! don't even worry about it. (: there's really no need to be scared. my first day as a freshman, i was like "omgomgomg. everyones gunna hate me." but it turned out fine once i got there. just act chill, and be nice. don't be afraid to talk to people. once you get in your classes, it should be pretty easy to talk to someone, because you can just talk to someone around you. stay away from people that seem bad though. good luck! and just have funnn :D

My friend was in your shoes her frosh year... i randomly met her & we became best friends because we had similar interests. Frosh year there are a lot of new people so everyone's looking for friends. get involved and you'll meet people, i promise. I moved to a whole different part of the country in the middle of my sophomore year and i managed to make friends. just be friendly and have an open mind. <3

I did the same thing this past year. It's really not that bad. Actually, I wasn't that scared, which is pretty surprising, since I'm a shy person. But it's really not bad at all. Just go and make small talk with people you sit around in class. Maybe join a club? Some people are in the same situation as you. It's pretty easy to make friends. Some classes I didn't have anyone to talk to because everyone that was in the class, I didn't hang around those type of people. But, it worked and wasn't too bad. Just don't worry about it. Go in there with an open mind. Good luck! :)

Trust me, it's so much fun. You'll meet friends before you know it. It'll be fun to be able to have a fresh start in high school. It'll be a lot of fun. The only thing I can compare to with this is when I was in first grade I switched from catholic school to public school, and I was really scared, but it's not that bad.

Don't be scared. You'll make friends soon. There's people in the same situation and there's a lot of NICE upperclassmen that will be your friend and help you out. I had a whole group of sophomores and juniors come up to me. I'm not outgoing at all either. Really shy but we exchanged AIM, myspace, etc. They also said where they hung out so I could meet them.
You could always join clubs and that will bring you closer to people with similar interests.
I went to a different high school from all of my friends.. as well as middle school.. but I managed to make new friends. And well, I'm practically a mute! It may not be easy but you need to talk to people. Maybe when you're getting your schedule or picture taken.. bring up a conversation if you can.. You could always ask someone to show you around.
If you're outgoing in class.. someone's going to notice you and want to be your friend.. hang out. especially when you're partnered up.. you could build a friendship there.
Most of the people are really nice. People always tell you that the upperclassmen are going to hurt you or play jokes on you. But it's the complete opposite. You'll probably have more friends in different grades.

I went to a high school where i didn't know anyone and you'd be surprised by the amount of people in the same situation. So dont worry about it. it's easy to make friends!

throught high school you lose many friends and many new ones come anywas so the whole not having friends you will do fine and you will get use to high school very fast. it is nothing like you see on tv. most of the time its just like jr high if you did have a jr high school. so dont sweat it just have funn in high school and be yourself! It will be easier then you think there is no reason to be scared believe me everyone is scared before they start high school but once they start it is really easy and you quickly become use to it. Just have tons of fun and everything will be all right!
