In a week or so, high school starts. I know almost no-one and I am scared. I can't sleep. I am afraid. I don't want to make stupid jokes, get drunk and so on. I am afraid. Will I find someone I can talk to? Is it all going to be OK? I'm afraid. GOD HELP ME!

Starting high school can be very nerve-wracking and at the same time extremely exciting. What classes to take, what to wear on the first day of school, what will everyone think of me? As realistic as these issues are, DONT WORRY! I know that this is easier said than done, but everything will work out. You will quickly made a whole new set of friends, which makes high school worthwhile! The best advice I can give you is to be yourself. High school is four great years to make amazing friends and an opportunity to learn so much.Good luck, I hope it all goes well. Remember just be yourself!

I changed schools every 2 years. I would be so scared I would throw up. You will be OK. Your not going to know anyone but you will live thur it. Go in the 1st day and be you and you should find someone you like somewhat the 1st day. I mean it takes time to find friends. Keep your mind on your work and school and don't worry about making friends and everything will fall into place. School is just the start of life. As adults we go thur the same things like starting a new job. Jury duty is a good one. Gees. You'll be OK just go in act like you know what you are doing. Someone will talk to you and you can eat lunch with them or something. Just calm down.
You said God help me. Try praying. It might calm you down.

You are going to be fine. My son just started his first year of high school. Although he tends to be a bit shy and I know that he was anxious over the big move he did very well. He actually met friends from his middle school and so felt more at home. You said that you know "almost no one", so there are some people with whom you can interact. It may also be helpful to do a little research regarding social interaction, making friends etc. The more prepared you are the less anxiety you will face. I am the type of person who tends to strike up conversations quite easily with complete strangers. The key is to be aware of social cues that indicate if a person is interested in conversation or not and just be yourself. Find common ground and ask them about themselves, don't forget to share your name and get theirs. You will instantly make a new friend.

Believe it or not - EVERYONE's nervous. So its not only you.
*First of all - calm down. It's going to be ok.
*Second of all - make sure you get INVOLVED. join clubs, sports teams, be part of the play - DO SOMETHING. trust me on this one!
*Thirdly - think positive; don't give up. If someone looks at you weird, forget about them...have confidence and hold your head up - believe that everything will be just fine, even if you're terrified, because things WILL be ok
*Fourth - Smile brightly, if you're not that type of person, at least have a pleasant look on your face = do not look completely miserable because it'll seem as if you're not a nice person
*Fifthly - be your own person. If you don't want to drink - then don't! Don't do anything you don't want to do, because at the end of the day, you'll just be angered with yourself. Assert your individuality....you'll never regret it. & you'll find people who feel the way you do.
Good luck, honeydear! <333

Of course it will be okay. There are going to be kids of all sorts at school and just connect with the ones that have the same things in common as you. Don't let anyone influence you into doing what you don;t believe in and mainly just be yourself.
You'll end up with a lot of friends. But they won;t just come to you, you have to mingle a little bit. Join some school functions in areas that you really enjoy.
But you'll be fine and you're not the only one who ever started high school that was scared. There will be a lot of nervous people, not just you.
Good luck to you, you are entering a very important period in your life.

I you are saying God help me. That means you have faith. I had a big problem a couple of weeks and it is still going but not as bad as it was then. Yet I prayed everyday about it and was able to pray more and more about it. You know God has helped me and my two girls to find a place without being homeless. You know he really is there if you let him. And I was shy in my high school years but they came to me. But my secret was to smile just enough to get a reaction out of it to see if they would smile back. And i received the amount of friends that I wanted. Please be yourself, because if your not you won't be able to get along with the person you befriended with.

calm down. it's ok. i moved from north carolina to georgia and now i go to a high school with 4,000 kids. it's absolutely huge. i'm a senior, and i've made it through just fine. it'll be pretty hard to not find anyone to talk to unless if you don't answer them. just don't be a huge show off otherwise people might ignore you. don't brag a lot. i would observe the first day and the next, try talking to other kids. if you can't sleep, try making some warm tea before you go to bed or take a bubble bath with the lights down low. it'll help relax you.

It is totally normal to be afraid those are the years everything is formed for the rest of your life. Just be friendly & don't get sucked in to the negative people. You don't need to get drunk & drink to be popular. There will be temptations. Just be confident & don't worry about what other people think. Most of the people you meet through highscool won't even be part of your life after highschool. I am in constant contact with 2 people from highschool. Just remember to be true to yourself!

Just smile and be friendly--there are others just as nervous as you. The best thing you can do for yourself is NOT get sucked into a bad crowd. There's nothing wrong with having fun, but don't do things you feel uncomfortable about just to "fit in." Do your homework, be open and available for friendship, and be yourself. Good Luck!
