New school. ahhh
So we all know its bad enough going to highschool for the first time as a freshman because its a whole new experiance, but my parents decided to move during the summer so ill be going to a completely new highschool where i know nobody! So not only am im experiancing higschool for the first time but i wont know anyybody and i dunno how to go about these things. My sister reassures me that everyone always loves the new person which im sure is true. But since im starting school late im sure they all have assigned seats in classes and stuff and im kind of shy so its goin to be awkward walkin into the class for the first time because i dont know where ill be sitting and i hate asking teachers stuff, but will they know that im new? And also another thing is lunch i dont wanna be sitting by myself because then everyone will think im a loser. basically i need tips because im very nervous and i dont know what to do! Thanks!!

Your sister's right. Everyone DOES love a new student; it gives them someone new that they don't know anything about and a chance to get a new friend. My friend Gracie was new last year, but we just immediately talked and made new friends with her the minute she walked through the door. Tip #1: Be confident and smile. No one likes a grump that slouches over like they'd rather be somewhere else. Act like you want to be there, and everyone else will want you to be there too. By the time the lunch bell rings, you will have made new friends and you should have an invitation to a table. If you don't you can sit a table where you know at least one person from your class, and people are always nice to new people. Be nice and sociable back. You'll be absolutley fine; everyone else is going to have jitters too.

I know this sounds bad, but really, this could be a great thing! You just have to have a positive attitude about it all. Just believe it will all be okay and chances are you will be- I know it sounds cheezy, but its the power of positive thinking.
I don't know you, but some people feel the need to take things that HAVE to happen and make them a great life changing experience. You can make this one of those! You mentioned being shy-so much to the point you don't want to ask where to sit... Take things with a grain of salt and try to change yourself by trying to open up a bit more. Ever wanted to join band or a dchool club but were afraid you wouldn't be accepted? Now's the time to do that. You can create a new you and a new image by doing things you were scared of before. OPEN UP.
Its easier to make friends when you are easy to get along with and easy to talk to, so if you sit there with your head down just do your work, people will think you're antisocial and don't want friends.
When you walk into your new classes make sure to smile and to kind of sound funny. Everyone likes a bit of humor so if you trip on your way into the class don't look like "OMG!!!", just crack a joke like "Whoops! I'm a bit of a kluts!" Or "Still asleep!" Like you just woke up and your still really tired. Guarentee people will laugh and you'll already have friends.
As for lunch, the first few days is hard to find a clique, so I always suggest to bring a book with you just in case. It doesn't make you a nerd-because I'm nothing near that and I like to bring a book just in case there's nothing better to do. It makes you look occupied and not lonely, but not so occupied that they don't want to come over and talk to you.
I really hope you the best!!
Goodluck.
