I need your opinions. I will be a freshman this monday, and I only know like 2 people in my highschool becuase I moved to a diff side of town. My problem is, I'm scared to like stand at the bus stop becuase the people standing there will all know each other, and I'll just be standing there all awkard, but I'm not sure if my mom should drive me becuause im not sure if thats like "cool", and I'm not sure if it's a bad idea not to ride the bus the 1st day and get used to it. I need your opinions on which would be best. thanks!
P.S. (my mom could only drive me the 1st and 2nd day cuz after that her job starts)

I knew some people on my freshman bus and there was a girl i didn't know [she was new] and she started talking to me so i had made a new friend in the first 10 minutes of the first day. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]

Ride the bus.
Yah, you don't know those kids, but you will get to know them a lot quicker than you think.
Remember: Riding the bus isn't like sitting next to someone in class- on the bus you can talk to each other.

orphans answered Friday August 24 2007, 12:39 pm: I remember freshman year and many many people rode the bus that year. I'd say, ride the bus with the other kids because it gives you a chance to meet the people living around you and get to know the kids at your high school that are in your neighborhood. It's going to be weird the first few days because you don't know anyone but you'll meet them and start talking to them. Go on the bus the first two days especially because that's usually when people start picking their seats and it's just easier if youre there from the start.

TEENAGExHEARTS answered Friday August 24 2007, 12:39 pm: i think you should take the bus. you really shouldn't be standing at the bus stop that long anyways. i really don't think that it will be that ackward. at my bus stop i know everybody but nobody really talks to everyone else. because its early and everybody is still tired.
