I felt the same way my first day of high school, but don't even worry about it. Honestly, yes, bullying does occur once in a while in real life but it's definitely not as bad as you see in the movies/on TV. Just don't get in anyone's face or say anything to upset people on purpose and you'll be fine. People aren't out to make things hard for you. Besides, if something does happen there are always teachers you can go to, plus you'll make a bunch of new friends, etc. so that you're not alone. Everybody can make friends, so don't worry about being rejected. It's actually an advantage of going to a big high school (I did too)- there are tons of people, of all different kinds. Just be yourself and it'll be easy to make friends- sounds like dumb or cliche advice but it's the only way to make true friends.
Basically, the first few days are the only "bad" part because everything's still new, but you'll get the hang of it really quick, you've just got to get used to it. After I realized it was just the unknown that I was worrying about, I had a great time in high school. Don't forget about the fun parts! There are SO many more opportunities and things to do than in middle school (especially if you are coming from a small one), and once you get into the later years even the classes and teachers can be really cool.
Try to enjoy this new phase of your life; after the first couple of days you'll wonder why you were ever worried about it.
dont even worry about it.
i started my freshman yr of high school on monday [august 20]
and OMG!
it is soooo much better than middle school
i am not even lieing.
the teachers or atleast my teachers are so much nicer than middle school, they actually can take jokes, they arent strict and they help u out a lot more than you think they do.

i love high school its so awesome.actually i think middle school is a lot worse than high school. believe me!

p.s my high school is very big too it looks like a college campus its very nice and its only 3 years old. its very crowded too but its nothing scary. no one says anything bad to you.

dont be scared
its not really that scary
(im a junior) jus
make sure u dont act big an bad to the upperclassmen
an youll be alrite =)
No fear! High school will be stress full no matter how cool you are. However, the best way to get instant friends... join a club. anything that interests you. The theater crowd and speech and debate worked for me.
hah, i scoff at your claim to a crowded high school. mine was built for about 2000 people. my senior year we had 3300.
Hey, don't worry - if anything, high school is a world of new opportunities. Of course bullying happens, and people are rejected. But you can't control these things from happening to you, aside from the obvious (keep yourself out of trouble, be nice to people, get to know people before you act chummy with them, etc). The thing that is most important for you right now is to be positive. I actually loved and still love high school - I'd made most of my friends here, and there are so many opportunities to get involved and meet new people.
One piece of advice I will give, is to take any opportunity that comes along. Never turn down an opportunity to get to know someone new (unless if your instincts tell you it's not a good idea), sign up for everything you've always wanted to have a go at (eg. guitar, theatre, rock-climbing), make the most of your first year by networking with as many new people and groups as you can. You see, the best thing about your first year or two is that you start with a completely fresh slate. You can forge a completely new identity for yourself, and no one would think it strange - everyone changes dramatically in the first few years of highschool. Always wanted to be an actor, but was always considered the 'shy, quiet type' at your old school? You can start afresh right here. Want to be in a band and make music, but never found the time to learn your instrument of choice? Or had you never considered yourself to be one of the 'cool muso kids'? You can start now. At your age, you still have the time to do anything you want to - and that's the truth. By the time you get to your late highschool years, opportunties will not come by as easily, nor be as easy to take.
So, make the most of now and enjoy your time at highschool. It's going to be great, trust us =). And remember, it's only as enjoyable as you make it!
