You shouldnt be scared but its okay that you are. i would be scared too. Just keep in mind that you are still yourself and that eventually you will meet people. Dont change yourself to get friends. Also, when people meet you and see that you are new they might try to suck you in. Dont get lost in the wrong crowd. My friend was new to the school and he simply just acted like he wa sthere all long and made new friends the first day that he came. but we arent all like that. So good luck.

Not only is it OK but it is normal. Take a deep breath, relax. Why don't you try going to the school for a look see when the teachers go back. Teachers have to go back usually a week or so before the students. You could go then and check things out at the school, get familiar with the place so you can be more sure of yourself in the new surroundings. If you can't do this then remember, its normal to be nervous going to a new school. Be proud of yourself, you've made it this far..................

I've been in your shoes and I know exactly what you are feeling.
I was so frightened I literally did not want to get out of bed to go to school. I would tell my mom I was sick.
You no doubt already feel isolated and alone, but you are not.
This is what you do: When you walk into class sit next to someone you think you may like, introduce yourself and get to know them also say your new and ask what the local hang outs are. (make small talk, maybe ask during test times if she would like to come over and study for a test; ask for her number.
Another thing is join clubs. Sports are great, like tennis, golf, softball, because when you join clubs or sports they form friendships fast.
Last year my neighbor who moved in had a son, he started his freshman year did not know a soul. He joined the football team, baseball team, and the yearbook club. This guy by the end of his freshman year had so many friends.
Have faith. It's okay to be scared. Scared makes you strong.
After 6 months of starting your freshman year let all of us know what happens (of course in a question).

Absolutely.
I moved quite a bit, and went to three different high schools, (1 VA, 1 IL, 1 TX). I found that the fastest way to settle in and make new friends is to get involved in school activities. For me it was mostly sports, although I was also involved in drama and academic competition teams.
Getting involved in stuff is great for a few reasons. First, you meet a bunch of other people who have similar interests as you do, and you actually HAVE to spend time with them everyday. Its a good way to get to know them, and for them to get to know you.
Second, the busier you are, the less time you have for feeling depressed and sorry for yourself. The only time I had a hard time adjusting was in a move before 7th grade (from OH --> VA) and I didn't get involved in anything. It took FOREVER to meet people, and I was really depressed. Got involved in activities and BOOM, lots of friends, no time to piss and moan.
Also, what I would recommend is be really outgoing. Talk to people, introduce yourself to anyone you don't know. You never know when you'll meet a new friend! I've found that some of the best friends I've had I met through OTHER people introducing me to them.
You'll be fine. Enjoy your new school and the opportunity to make new friends!

Don't fret about it too much. I started HS in a town where i knew no one. Within a few weeks I found my groove. And besides that I ended up going to 4 different HS's so i was always the new girl. My advise is don't let them see you sweat. And be yourself!!!!

When I was in highschool and we got a new kid I always found them very interesting and everybody wants to meet them, because you never know how cool a new person will be.
You have a chance to start over and be yourself!!!
It's an opportunity! Be excited.

It's very normal to be scared when you're going into a new environment. But don't let your fear overcome you. You will make friends and have a good time.
