Well in high school, things are a lot bigger. Like the students, teachers, and buildings. You also get more homework than junior high but don't let that get you down. Millions of students like you are entering high school for the first time. And it can be scary. But just relax. Just be yourself and you can make some life-long friendships. You can make some friends by joining in some after school clubs and sports. And also just by talking to the person beside of you. You can compliment on something they have to strike up a conversation. Also, in high school, you know you have more homework than junior high. So be prepared to do that. Be organized and don't procrastinate. Doing that will make you feel behind in your classes and you can't catch up. Just pay attention to your teacher's lectures, take good notes, and do your homework first before crashing onto the computer. Have a schedule with you or a to-do list. Prioritized your things and tackle big assignments one at a time. And have some fun too. High school is one of the best years of your life. Make it like that and you will enjoy high school.

When I was a sophomore last year, I was scared too. I was the shortest person in my high school. But I got used it and now, I'm used to being around taller people.

good luck!
ok....
firstly you just be yourself if someone ignores you you ignore them don't having any friends is not gonna get you a F in your report card so listen to me kristina i had expierance !!! so listen to my advice!
I am a sophomore this year, and the key to figuring out high school is finding your self and being who you are. There will be more people like you no matter what you think because it is better to have 1 best friend then 5 lousy friends. Just don't be nervous, be yourself and have a good time. Keep up on your schoolwork. Good luck,
Matt

High school is not as scary as you think. I'm a sophomore and as long as you go in with a positive attitude everything will be OK. If you still not sure, go to a teacher or someone who you know that has been in high school THAT YOU CAN TRUST, and ask them how the schedule works and how the students act and some pointers or something. The best advice I can give you is to get into a sport or a club, if your going into a high school with no friends, that the the best guaranteed way to get great friends. Good luck Kristina.
Oh the older kid thing is a bunch of crap. If you asked me directions I'd help you. You will be excepted because there are a lot of kids in your shoes. Plus they lost a lot of there middle school friends. So the only thing to do next is to replace them. Just give everyone a positive image of yourself. Don't get negative because then less people will want to hang around you and then you'll attract the wrong crowd. If your very worried about the older kid thing. You could ask teachers because there are a lot of teachers who stand out of there doorway durring passing period. Even if your late the first week by like one minute. I am sure the teachers will totally understand. I don't think depending on the teacher will mark you tardy. To make new friends what I do is go say hi. Plus when your in your classes. If you have time start talking to people and get your feel about them. Also to make additional friends go join some clubs. Clubs are meant to be fun and fun can be more friends. I have a few friends alone just through clubs.
Well I felt that way when I was a freshman but I had some senior and junior friends to help me out but the school I go to had a lot of drama and I was in the middle of things that was not my fault and people where threating me to kick my a** and others tought that me and my friends me starting crap because we were haters and that we were sayng stuff about people and another reason why cause we were gothic people called us the gossip goths but I was cool about and I ingored it so what I have to say to you Is be yourself and defenitly watch youre back.GOOD LUCK
idk cuz im starting high school too but good luck anyway! hope you have fun
