When I started 6th form I made a point of approaching and speaking to new people, hopefully someone will do that for you.
But you could try approaching people yourself, from starting university I realised that asking people for help usually warms them to you quickly, so maybe you could approach someone or a group and say something like you are new, and nervous and do they know where (a room or building) is? Then as they show you, talk to them a bit more, ask if they are new, if they went to the school previously etc.
It'll be fine! Good luck!
you'll be OK. I was
There will be People who are as shy as you, don't worry about it.
after a months time I promise you everything will feel second nature. Don't worry.
Ah bless you! The best thing to do is find some common ground with just one person, then they'll introduce you to someone else and it will snowball. Maybe find someone else who is standing on their own and go and introduce yourself, I used to move schools a lot and I was really shy, but if you just start talking to one person, it is a lot less pressure than talking to a gang of them!
I've had my first year in sixth form, but at my old school so it wasnt such a change for me. I'm starting my second next year.
When I did start, I had a group of friends that I was with ALL the time, but now a year later, most of my friends are ones that came from different schools, for example one boy came from a different school, and is now possibly one of my best friends, same goes for a few other people. Even my boyfriend was someone in the year above me, and left after only 2 weeks, but thanks to 6th form i'd met him lol. which goes to show what a knitted little community 6th forms have, so dont worry- you will fit in fine, and will most probably be with people who will become really close friends in the first few weeks of it :) I loved the first year at sixth form, and can't wait to get back. Just dreading the day we all leave!

Hi,
You do realise that they will all have chosen different subjects to their friends and so be looking for someone to sit next to that they can get on with as well?
Make sure that the way that you dress does represent who you are. You will be judging on first impressions as will they. Dont look like someone you are not as you will attract people that you won't really get on with.
SMILE and make eye contact! It breaks down loads of barriers.
Try to get to class first and sit 2 or 3 rows back and fairly central. No one will sit next to you in the front row unless there is no where else to sit. Those who want to be loud and cause trouble will sit at the back.
Look for groups of 3. They will be looking for a 4th person to join them.
Ice breakers.
If anyone else is standing alone as k them,
" Have you seen who else is in this class? Do you know any of them?"
or
" do you know what thhe tutor is like?" Those with older siblings may know the answer to this question and will get a few people talking.
awww poor you, big deal u F-a-g-g-o-t
Well the good thing is, it's a new place, so chances are, you're going to get lost a few times, and so are other people. Ask for directions, get lost with other people and strike up conversations while you're struggling to find your way around. The fact that you're all lost will mean you already have something in common.
Is 6th form like your 6th year of school? Like 6th grade, starting middle school?
Well if it is then here's what I'll say about making friends:
For friends, all you do is go up to someone who looks nice and friendly and say "Hi, I'm (your name here)!" If you're too shy to do that just wait until someone says hi to you, which someone usually will, and say hi back. Sometimes the teachers have you do a little thing where you stand up and introduce yourself, so just do that and maybe someone will think you're pretty cool. Most of the other kids are just as shy and nervous as you, so try to be the one to say hi. If not the first day, you'll make friends soon enough. Have fun, and good luck!
don't worry, there will be other people from other schoolswho are in the same position as you, you will make friends in no time and since classes are so small (our german class is only going to have 3-5 students in it) you will meet some good mates that way.
