hokkkay. so lemme start off with the basics. im going into 9th grade and i just moved to a new city. my old friends and i had similar personalities. we joked around about EVERYTHING and i felt like i was always laughing. most of the time we were pretty sarcastic to super preppy people...and now i LIVE in a town that seems to revolve around "abercrombie" and "hollister" and girls that say "OMG" in every sentence. so far ive only met one girl my age who is exactly as i described above. it sucks. i just really miss my friends and im getting depressed. adults that my parents meet in this town keep asking me "wont it be hard going into high school without knowing anyone?" i dont know what im trying to ask but i really needed to let this all out. i talked to my mom...she doesnt understand. shes wanted to live in this town for so long that her fantasies outshine my realities. my dad kinda understands....he sez ill make friends but im not too sure...im a little shy around new people. ughh.

I know how you feel, its my life story, only difference is, it happened too often. I learned to fit in to the environment. The truth about being the new kid in town, in your case, is that eventually, and usually will happen on the first day of school, is that, one person will talk to you. Ask you a question, or just say hi, it happens. Just try not to be too nervous, its just a school, like your old one, only difference is, there is new people. New people means new friends. I know it might suck today, but who knows what tomorrow will bring, so just be at your best to take on what tomorrow has to offer. Who knows maybe next time and think that the move wasn't at all bad. Good luck, Like I said, always be at your best, try to be friendly to those you are that way towards you, and try not to lose yourself over this...

High school is tough on the majority of people. Not because of the material covered in class but because of the social aspect of it. At this age kids are trying to identify themselves. They are getting out of being kids and becoming young adults and then to adults. Although sometimes it seems some people don't outgrow the young adult stage. Anyways, even if you where in your old time you will still find some difficulties in high school.
Do not despair things do get better. A lot better. Bottom line is highschool sucks for 95% of the people. I hated it with a passion. To answer your question well, it all depends. I think you will make some friends and some enemies. Remember that all the other students are going through similar things. They don't know if they are going to make new friends or not. They will also find out that some of their friends will no longer be their friends in high school while others will bond more with them. Also, note that the same way you critisize these people is also the same way they will critisezed you.
Anyways, nobody can predict how much of a good time or bad time you will have there. God knows I did not fit in. I think I'm finnally starting to fit in and I'm old by your standars. The thing is that it may not matter. Remember that in 4 more years you will not be anywhere near these people. In reality friendships usually don't make pass highschool simply because after high school people move. They start their own family, get a new job etc etc and not neccesarily in that order either. Your number one priority is to get good grades so you can go to college. Thats where the fun is.

Honey relax you will get over being homesick because that is what you are. You can always keep in touch with your old buddies what with the internet and texting and the good old fashioned mail so do not sink to dispair. You will find people to make friends with especially when you start to look forward to what could be and not backward towards what was. Those are nice memories now but you can't live there anymore you need to move forward with your life. If you look forward you will be directing yourself forward. Take a closer look at the new people around you and you might find something more than you expected. You wer not so perfect with your old friends when you first met and look how that turned out. It can and will happen again.
And as for being shy I spent most of my adult life being shy, horribly shy, until my life suddenly changed and there was not room for me to be shy anymore. I was forced to come forward and I discovered that it was OK and I wondered what it was that I feared. remember if they kill you, you don't have any more problems, if they don't, you will be OK. Don't let fear rule your life, I did and I see now that so much that I wanted to happen could have happened, would have happened if I had just had a little courage and fought my way up over and through being shy. My motto now, and I'll share it with you, is "No Guts, No Glory." it's true.

what you are talking about is most definately a hard situation to go through.
My suggestion is to go to the school before it actually starts and see what clubs and sports they offer. Try to speak to the teachers of any classes you would like to be in and let them know how you feel moving to a new city right before your high school years begin. See if they can help you to meet people more like you.
Good luck to you.

So what? Screw them, you don't need a huge crowd of friends. Those are for crack selling hookers. Get two or three GOOD friends who you can trust and just hang like that. Your life doesnt suck because of that you're being really selfish. I go to St. Chris every wensday with kids who have problems and don't have either parents. You've got to be joking.

Nothing excites us anymore. Nothing is really new. It's like watching a magician over and over, but just a different guy every time with the same trick. We're used to the technology we have.

Beat someone up so people know not to mess with you. Just kidding but really meet as many people as you can you'll meet someone who you will like. Just hang in there not everyone is superficial arogant.
