Nervous about going aback to school.?

Question:I am going back to school on September 4th, but I have problems. I'm going into grade 11, and resuming the same school as last year. I'm sometimes really shy, and it's hard for me to make friends because I can't think of anything to say or I can't think of a conversation topic. I have a few friends at school- one close one and a few normal ones, and a lot of acquaintances. Most of my friends aren't really good though because they hang out with people who I don't like. I'm not close enough to most of them to hang out one-on-one or invite them for a sleepover. I think I should find a new group of friends this year, but I don't know how. In grade 9, I tried to meet people, but was so naiive that I would just go up to random acquaintances and ask to hang out with them, and follow them around. So now I have a shitty reputation, which makes making friends even harder. Because there are only 300 people in my grade, I've met almost everyone. Any suggestions or advice?

Ive been the same way.
Starting 10th grade, I was going to a school where I didnt know basically anyone, and had only one or two friends.
I just decided to not let it bug me, and guess what? It didnt!
Just be friendly to the people you sit next to in class, and if they wanna talk to you great, if they dont, well then screw them.
Just be yourself, be independent, realize that you dont need to have a certain group, just talk to a lot of different people.
It worked for me! And by the end of the year I had a lot of different types of friends I could talk to, and was way more confident in myself.
Now Im going into 11th grade too, but at a completely new school and Im not nervous.
Just know if youre nice, and friendly to everyone, people who want to be your friend will come to you.
its nothing wrong with being friends with someone in a lower grade. you really don't need friends to get through school. find someone that you have in common with in class and go from there. i was never friends with the people i hanged around with but when you are doing a project its nice to have someone to work with. also the friends you meet in high school you rarely see out of high school.
well if it makes you feel many better there are many people that feel the way you do.

if you have special interests at school pursue them and remember you are there to get an education - so when all else fails take the opportunity to learn.

if people reject your attempt to be friends that says more about them then it does you - it is rude and insensitive and lacking in social grace to be rude to someone who is friendly.

just be aware - be a fly on the wall and you will see you are not the only one who feels left out. - observe and learn.

and in 6 years you will see - nothing spells downer like a five yr reunion.
