Think about how many people are in your high school in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. Now think about all the people in other schools in those grades. Now think about all the people in college. Now think about all the people who have graduated college.
If all of them got through 9th grade okay, so will you.
If you wanna sit with more people at lunch, then maybe you can sit with a friend-of-a-friend... have your friends hook you up.
If you get your schedule before school starts, see if you can schedule some time to go up to your school before it starts and walkthrough your classes.
Talk to upperclassmen. Most of them want to help.
If you've been in advanced classes before, then your new advanced classes shouldn't be any harder. The only difference may be A.P. classes if you're taking them, but I took one last year (freshmen year) and got a 5 (the highest grade you can get) on it.
Oh, and find out how you get your lunch ahead of time. Last year we had no clue on the first day, so we sat around like dimwits for half of the time until we figured out that it was you had to get up and stand in line, not wait to be called.
Making new friends will be easy if you just be yourself. Talk to as many people in your advanced classes as you can. Set up a study group if you feel it will help you. Trust me, everyone else feels the same way you do, so they'll probably go for it. If making new friends is important, why not invite a bunch of new people to go to a movie or come over to your house for pizza on Saturday? That way, everyone gets to know each other. Trust me, the new kids that just moved into town will be happy for the invite.
I was the same way when I started high school, the only class I ever had with my friends was ASB, but just try to be calm and look at it possitivly. You will make friends in your honors classes, thats where I made most of my friends. Remember that if there are 2500 kids at your high school then there are other freshman like you be yourself, be friendly, and try to speak up a bit. High school is a time to grow. Try to make friends at lunch too with the kids who are in your classes. It will be ok, and be the best 4 years.
Don't worry at all. It's easy, and you'll breeze right through it. Focus on learning where all of your classes are, and on making a good start. As a matter of fact, having too many friends surrounding you the first few days just sometimes makes it a little more difficult because you won't be able to concentrate on everything going on around you.
Get to know the building, where your locker is, where all the classrooms are, where you are supposed to have lunch, study halls, the gym, the main offices, the bathrooms, and then make sure you get to know what you need for each of your classes, and how much time you have between classes to get there. Don't worry about anything else, because it will all come naturally.
It's actually great that you are in AP classes because you can get accepted by some of your older peers since you are in classes with them, and you'll be able to make new friends because you aren't surrounded only by your old ones. It's a great chance to make a new impression, almost like starting all over again.
Best of luck to you. And pray for strength, and for God's grace to help you make it through these changes smoothly, because prayer does work.
