OK Nate I'm Jess! I had this problem last year, i am a sophomore. Going into high school seems stressful, and just thinking about it causes you to think that it is when it isn't! Think positive towards going to HS. It really is a lot of fun. You may lose friends =(, but you will also gain them =)!
You will learn many new things about life, your friends, and definitely about yourself! People say to eat a good breakfast, well you may not have time for that so eat some ready to go fruit or bagels. Or even eat breakfast at school, I do and they usually have a nice selection. Lunch can be a bit hectic depending on your school cafe and your peers. But just take it easy and have a good time with it.
Your first week shouldn't be a problem because the students and teachers know that you are new. Go to orientation! It always helps and you may get to know the teachers and some students there. The school should provide a map (mine does) so use it for a few weeks and map out your classes and try to find the easiest and fastest route through the halls and students to your classes. But don't dawdle! There may be mean teachers or just ones you don't like but you will always have your favorite one. And you know how on TV shows in high school you see bullies and mean students? That is a big joke. There aren't any! No one is going to pound your face in or stuff you into a locker. And if there is talk to your counselor, they really do help.
I cant think of much else except to just think positive about it and on your first day, try to meet new people and if you get lost just laugh it off. And try to meet up with your friends so you don't feel so bad or nervous.
Any more questions just feel free to ask!
You will learn to love it!
high school is a whole lot of fun compared to elementary, in high school you'll learn many things.
good luck and have fun...
I'm in a similar situation... I'm stating High school on Monday... and my best Friend moved over the summer and i don't really have any other close friends. the only thing i can think of is to be friendly and introduce myself (yourself) to a lot of people Hope this helps
Nate there are a few things you can do to ease your stress. Go to the school and do some walk throughs so you know your way around before school starts. Look at the school website to find out about lunch periods and lunch costs. Your school should have a freshman orientation meeting, and you definitely should go. You'll find out about locker assignments, schedules, and all that stuff then. People change and grow and don't worry about that--it's supposed to happen. So if you grow apart from the friends you have now you will be making new friends along the way. Be friendly, but be yourself. You're going to be fine, and school will be "old hat" to you in no time. Good luck!
Im gonna be a sophmore and I was the same way last year. Believe being a sophmore isnt much better because theres still the Juniors and Seniors ahead but...anyway
Well a few tips
-Map out your classes before so you arent wandering around all lost
-People arent scarey =) No I mean I met sooo many new freinds this year some of them freshman some of them seniors and they were all nice
-Carpool with someone so when you arrive you arent all alone
-Leave early so you have plenty of time to get your bearings before your first class
-Take your work seriously; my freshman year i had the lowest grades yet...and now it counts toward your future
GOOD LUCKKKKK
after the first day its cake =)
haha i start tomorrow ur lucky. but i use to get freaked out about everything! ive moved 9 times and every new school i went to i would start freaking out. I use to be extremly shy and everytime i moved to a new school i would be quite and never make any friends. First you need to be social! that the only way to make friends. and this is gonna sound cheesy but i know ive moved and always have to make friends BUT BE YOUR SELF! Also if you dont have any friends in classes dont worry. You should make friends.
AND LUNCH i have nooo friends in my lunch hour. but im not stressing. you can just make up a excuse like "im new" lol that my plan. and really no one that mean to turn you down. MAKE SURE YOU SIT WITH FRESHMAN THOUGH look for people u had classes with or look like freshman. It makes it easyer if your gonna make friends with them.
LAST! you will only loose your friends if you dont talk to them. so you gotta talk to them to keep them as friends.
One last thing. i use to have nervous break downs everytime i was nervous about somthing or everytime i moved. I use to just hate myself for being that way and wanted to be like one of those people that are like "ya whatever no big deal" and i trained myself to never get nervous even if i have to do speechs. you should try it im not sure how i did it but IT HELPED A TON. now im never stressing.
