i just started highschool
most of my classes i have at least maybe one good aquaintance or something but i have these 2 classes where i feel so alone. theres this one girl sandra who i feel like im kind of friends with because shes my best friends friend but that doesnt necessarily mean shes my friend
and this guy sam who ive been through a lot with but we dont talk much anymore
sanda and sam are kind of friends
at least more than i am with either one of them
besides them i know nobody.
i sit alone in one of these classes andi just feel like such an idiot
i feel like i should try to become better friends with sandra so that she can sit with me but like than i dont know what happens to sam
and im always afraid that the teachers going to say
OK CLASS NOW FIND A PARTNER
and ill just be so embarrassed and i wont know what to do and this can be so stressful and like ill be thinking about it all day until i have the class and at night and stuff
sorry for making this so long
but i really dont want my freshman year to be so stressful because of this
any ideas on what i can do?
thank you sooooooooo much
But you know, we all grow up, and we were both over it. I started talking to her and all went well =)
Just start talking to Sandra, using your best friend as a common ground. And maybe you can kindle your friendship with Sam again.
As for partners, there will be at least one other person who won't have a partner. That's when you just approach that person and ask if they would like to be partners with you. There you can start a friendship. Also, your teachers will somtimes partner you guys up or choose groups for you. When that happens, be friendly and talk to them. One of the best ways to make friends =)

Please work on your self esteem, stand up, stand out be proud of yourself, every one has fears we just have to learn to deal with them, if someone picks partners, remember your stomachs not the only one turning. you will have a partner, and maybe make a new friend,everyone from the teachers to the preps have fears its part of life, relax remind yourself your not the only one, everyone is hiding a fear, learn to hide yours, try selfhelp books they can really help. Lots of luck Have fun, and be happy. BRIE [ brie's advice column | Ask brie A Question ]
