You know who you know - that is ok. Don't worry about that. If you join student govt, band, sports or any other clubs, you will meet more people and upperclassmen which always makes life easier.
It really isn't that bad - at all. People make it sound sooo much worse than it is. I was nervous and the most trouble I had was finding classes I remember so you may want to see if you can get into the building a few days before classes start to check out the layout & figure that all out.
There are many groups in hs and you will fit into one and never worry about which one that is - just keep your friends close. You will meet other people. Just be who you are - don't feel peer pressure to drink or use drugs - just so go in school and focus on your work. I played sports all year long so I was always meeting new people and making new friends so that was great - even if you try out for something and didn't make it- you would still meet people doing that.
The first week or two is the hardest but that isn't even hard - so try to calm down. If you go into it relaxed and try to be confident, you will be ok- if you get nervous and worked up- it will be worse. So - just don't worry - even though that is hard - just calm down. You are who you are and you should be proud of that person - you have 5 or 6 people that you know -- that is more than some people have so be happy that you know that many people so far. Just be outgoing & friendly to everyone that you meet.
So - for me the main confusion was finding classes but if you go early or stop in the office to ask them - you will be fine - breathe :o) you will be ok

It is perfectly normal to feel lost and confused when you have just started HS. And 5 or 6 people are alot. Some people just moved to the area and don't know anyone. Be friendly and helpful and you will meet people. Join some clubs or activities. There's something for everyone: chess, stamp collecting, yearbook, fund raisers, debate, sports, etc. Get involved and you will soon be caught up in the thick of it.

Joining a club would be very helpful. Dont hang around the kids that dont want anything in life(skip school all the time, smoking weed) they will only bring u down. Dont get involved with the he say/she say stuff because it will happen. Just be you. People will like you just the way you are as long as you try not to be someone else.
And dont forget to have fun. My family used to tell me that all the time. They told me that I would miss highschool and I laughed at them. Im 25 now and I truly do miss high school. Oh and dont break any hearts either*wink*

what you need to know is that edumacation is very important in high school. take it serious and learn what you can. don't f-around!!!!!!!
doing well in high school will get you into a nice college. remember these words. I'm not trying to be funny.
as for not knowing anyone close to you, well, that's ok. you will eventually meet that one person you can be friends with. from there your network of friends will expand and soon you will be going to parties and joining clubs, sports, etc.
don't worry about the first day, fathead..

I did not know anyone on my first day of high school. I asked to sit with different people who were in my classes during lunch. I gradually met more and more people. I ran for student council. I knew I would lose, but people would begin seeing my name. I joined clubs, too.

Well if someone would have told me that your friends don't stick around after highschool, I wouldn't have freaked out (like your doing) as bad as I did. I don't think it really matters what they think of you while in highschool, really pay attention and obtain everything they teach you cause if you don't you'll have to pay for someone else to teach you the same stuff again in the future!!!!! I wish someone would have told me this!!!!!!!!!!!!! You like money no one is gonna give it to you when your older, no one!! You are gonna be the only means of you cash flow so worry about yourself not other..... Please listen and you'll go far. Stop freaking out it does you no good .... GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) you have a bunch more classes that get harder than the year before...
2) Study a map of your school
3)Ignore anyone who wants to pick a fight.
4)Always smile...try to strike up a conversation.... if you can
5) finally b yourself, after high school your still you don't try to fit in were you don't belong...
good luck, you'll meet a ton of people just stay active in a club or sports or whatever interest you.

Walk with your head held high you don't know anyone that means they probably don't know you so now you have the chance to become anyone your heart desires, i hope you choose the right path and your 5 or 6 friends support you, Good Luck!

first of all relax. im a freshman i kno how u feel. but reach out in ur classes make converstion it gets easier. i got lost several times my first week but its kool just ask some1 who looks like they r a good person. just dont run your mouth about any1.that the biggest mistake. and the people u kno meet their other friends see if u like any of them. in mist of my classes i didnt kno but mayb 1 person talk to them , in a way meet new people through people u already know.

Horrible, but remember, your not the only one who feels this way. I couldn't even find my locker, I was so lost. It gets better and just think the person beside you, is feeling the same way! And don't forget how big the kids are. It was like starting kindergarten all over.
