Maybe give some free advice about: School?
EVERYONE gets nervous before school starts. If you don't believe me look at the hundreds of related posts here or ask any adult that's been through it.
So don't worry, everyone is in the same boat that you are- nobody is any better or worse off.
you will do fine. just be confident and try not to take anything too seriously. that's the person that people like to be around. be fun, friendly and feel good about yourself and others.

Honestly, there isn't all that much to worry about.
High school is one of those places where you never know what to expect. There's going to be lost friends, found friends, new boyfriends, old boyfriends, all that good stuff.
The only thing you really have to do is go and try and meet new people. My high school has over 4000 kids in it. And not one day goes by when you get into trouble with someone, meet someone new, or even fall into a long lasting line of friendship with some people. Just try to stick to the people who like you for you. Not for what you act like.
Get into some clubs, or some sports and you'll do fine. It's not the big deal everyone puts it out to be.
Just have fun:] You're only a kid once, right?!

High school is a roller coaster. Been there, done that and graduated.
I wouldn't worry about getting a boyfriend right off - it'll happen in time. Plus, high school has a good deal more homework and expectations than middle school (though I'm sure you've heard that a million times by now) and romance right off isn't necessarily the best thing. If it happens and you want it, take it, but don't worry about looking too hard. There are guys all over in high school and you've got four years.
As for your friends - maybe you're right to be worried, maybe you're wrong. Unfortunately, only time will really tell you. BUT, here's my advice: if they want to go, let them. If you all stay together as a group, be open to others joining you. Even if you're at a big school, exclusive groups are pretty annoying. Reach out to people who AREN'T coming from your middle school - imagine how they'll feel coming in not knowing ANYONE.
Even if you do lose some of your friends, high school has a lot of people that you can be friends with instead. Sounds painful, but it's true.
Good luck!

Be social. Do not change for guys. During your first year, having a boyfriend will be hard because you are still trying to get used to the curriculum.
Just be yourself.

Yes. I felt the same way last year. I kept the friends I wanted to and made tons of new ones. I had a boyfriend, which didn't work out, but that's not something I want to talk about.
Chances are you'll be fine. Just be yourself and don't be afraid to talk to new people!
Good Luck! =]

I was a freshman last year...i am going to be a sophmore so i know what your feeling. I didnt think that I would get a boyfriend or that many friends, but i was wrong. I had a boyfriend my freshman year, and we are still together. You will definetly make new friends. I lost many friends while switching from middle school to high school but i also made tons of new friends. So dont worry about it. Everything will work out
