Trust me. You'll be fine. You just have to relax. You're probably worrying now how to make the first impression as a great kid someone will want to be friends with. Just be you and you'll attract your kind of people. I mean I had to move to a whole different country to a different middle school which was nothing same like before. I was freaking scared. You just have to make friends and catch up from there. It takes time and sometimes it doesn't. There are some really nice kids. They won't bite you. I hope this helps :))
P.S stay away from the bullies and I hope you won't have as many embarassing situations like me. lol

The first day in a new school or at a new job is always a scary experience. However, it doesn't have to be. People are aware that you're new, and some of your classmates may ignore you or tease or make fun of you, but then again, there will be others who will try to make friends with you. Just be patient, and try to be friendly. Wear a smile and be approachable. It will take time to establish new friendships, but you will eventually. One of the secrets is to be proud of who you are. When you have self-confidence, or pretend like you have it, it tends to rub off on others. So hold your head up high, smile, and say hi to those who look friendly, and my guess is they will respond in like manner. Don't be discouraged if you don't make a whole batch of new friends in one day. Start small, maybe with one or two classmates. In time you will have lots of new friends. Good luck, hon. I know you'll be just fine.

Good luck! I am a teacher of middle school and in my experience, the kids who move in and who get friends right away, are the ones who come in, hold their head high, talk to people and are happy. If you go in all withdrawn and sad, it sends out vibes that you are not someone people should get to know. Hopefully your teacher will introduce you to someone who can show you the ropes the first few days. It is hard for everyone who moves to a new school. Get involved. You have to find ways to meet people. *Don't gossip! Take it all in for a while. If you start shooting off your mouth, you will end up hanging out with the "mean girls" and life gets VERY tricky for them... Good luck again!

We all have been in a new place where we didn't know anyone at some point in time. All you can do is be a pleasant human being and get involved in the things you want to be involved with. Talk to people, they are usually feeling as awkward as you are.
It may take a bit of time before you are feeling at home with new friends, but it is a process. Good luck!

Walk in there with your head up. Don't be looking at your feet. Smile at people. First impressions are important, and DON'T let them intimidate you. You have nothing to be afraid of. None of them are any better than you are. They're all your age and in your grade and none of them are any more special than you. If you feel nervous, imagine someone you think of as a hero...walking in with you. Pretend they are right there, supporting you. You can do this. Don't worry...the people you're concerned about will be your friends by the end of the week! Good luck, kiddo! We'll all be sending you happy thoughts tomorrow!

How exciting AND scary. I always kind of envied the "new kid". A chance to start over, a chance to be seen as you are now, not as the nerdy 6yr we all were. Just play it cool. Be calm, confident, don't rush to make a best friend right away. Take time to find out who you really want to hang with. Remember, you are who you hang with. Act like you know exactly what you are doing and you'll do fine. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Don't sweat it sweetie. I bet the first week you'll have at least 3 or 4 new friends. The easiet way to make a friend? Just say hi. That's it.

I moved a lot growing up and can both sympathize and empathize with your feelings of trepidation. Just be yourself. Seek out those who have similar likes and dislikes. Friendships take time to develop. Do not panic and never show your fear.

Don't worry about it!! Put on a smile and chill. If you're really nervous, you'll make other people nervous. Introduce yourself to the person next to you at your locker or desk and tell them you're new. If they're cool, then they'll talk to you, introduce you to their friends, and show you around. Don't worry about it.
