High School…

So, I’m going to a high school where none of my friends are going next year. I only know a couple Freshman and they are too cool for me anyway lol. It kinda freaks me out, going where no one knows me. I am not good at starting conversations or anything so I will probably stick with my dad for the next 4 years of my life. Wonderful, huh? One thing I will miss the most are my teams, softball and soccer. We were the champions for softball last year and are in 1st place and going into the play offs in soccer (for the first time in the school’s history btw). I have a friend that said he will introduce me to other people but… I really don’t think that is going to happen. Have any advice? Comment!!!

    I’m crap at talking to people too! But I’ve found that a random ass compliment like HI I LIKE YOUR SHIRT goes a long way :D Obviously make it sound sincere and it’s even better if it really is genuine!

    I was the same way freshman year. It really is quite nerve-racking, but it gets easier. I found that just getting involved with as much as you can really helps. If you start getting involved with things you really love you’ll be able to create friendships with people that have the same interests as you do. It’s really hard at first but just be yourself, don’t hold back. If you decided to get involved with soccer or softball in high school just introduce yourself to people on your team and usually you’ll be able to get involved with a conversation by doing so.

    All i have for addvice is, be yourself. you don’t wanna make friends with someone who you can act yourself around. because really, its no fun. I’m not great at talking to other people either and i have many friends that i am very close to now. really all you have to do is make friends with one friend and the rest come pouring in, its the one friend thats the hard part :p GOOD LUCK !

    Just be open and friendly! And always remember to be yourself, and nobody else! Just enjoy your highschool years as much as possible! :)

    I had the same situation last year and I was really nervous, so I totally understand what you are going through,
    I was awful at startin convos but as long as you looks calm, and dnt act differently as you would with your friends from the skool u are at now then there wont be any problems.
    Just imagine you already know them and you just met up with them for a chat. People like people who go up to them, so pick someone who looks nice and just walk up to them and just sai hi to them.
    Hope it works out for you, write and tell me how it went.
    GOOD LUCK

    Same here ;(
    I’m going for a highschool that none of my friends are going there
    day-night I think about how i make new friends.
    I’ve been in my school For 8 years
    trust me that’s too much , I know the whole school
    teachers,students,principal all of them
    I made my popularity and good repitation
    now I’m gonna start all over .
    But all my friends said that i will make new friends easily
    I mean there is good friend makers in the world
    or am I wrong ?
