Please, please, please. Just be yourself. The people destined to become your friends will be naturally drawn to you. You'll be fine!

"Be yourself" is good advice. If you are worried that you don't have the right clothes, just look around the first week and see what others are wearing. Believe me, they are doing the same thing, because friendships change every year. A lot of kids will be looking for the same thing you are. Don't assume that everyone will be "fixed up" with another friend. Everyone will be so busy with themselves they won't even have time to see you! Good luck!

This is a great opportunity to start a "new you". to change the inner yo to meet the challenges of your new world.
So here we go:
First you should appear mature and not "over talkative" don't offer up information unless asked and start to listen and pay attention more.
Your personality should emit a bubbly happiness and you should be considerate of others. Never, ever talk badly about anyone. Even when agreeing with another persons views.
Treat everyone fairly but be ready to say no or defend yourself when they cross the line with you. deal with them right away so they know you mean business if they cross you.
Dress to be neat not tacky ofr drab.
Noone like a person with constant problems, don't be like that
Good luck

Be youself!!! Dont act a certain way to impress people. Evrything will fall into place, you'llmeet people you share the same interests with eventually. Just smile and say hello, one of the first things people notice in a person id their confidence. So dont walk in the classroom with your head held down, walk in with a nice smile and your head held high, literally!! It will make people curious and they will want to get to know you!! Good Luck 7th grade was a great year for me, Im sure it will be for you too.!!

Just smile - nobody likes a misery guts! You could ask your new classmates questions about the city, where are good places to shop, hang out etc and try to make conversation. You'll be fine luv, everyone gets nervous when it comes to going back to school - especially if it's in a new place. Everyone will probably be really interested to meet you as a new classmate : D xx

First thing to remember is to just be yourself. Putting on airs won't do anything for you because it will be figured out faster than you think.
When you get to school, be congenial, treat everyone nicely, and keep your eyes and ears open for cues.
As for dress... pick out some very basic and classic looks to begin with, then stylize as you get a sense of what is in vogue around there.
I mean, classics like collared shirts, knit shell tops, good jeans and Dockers. Try to make the most of mixing and matching your wardrobe components.

Well the key with making friends is to be your self and no one else. If you pretend to be something that your not you'll soon realize that its not a good thing. Just be yourself and introduce yourself to others. When i was in the 8th grade i had to change schools and i was worried about making friends to and how i should act. And my sister just told me to be myself. If people dont like you for you then thats their loss not yours :)

wow okay well this sounds as gay as it can get but be yourself.thats the only thing you can do otherwise people think your a poser of something.i mean asking people how you should act is asking them to judge you.youll make friends no matter what.try getting a myspace or facebook and meet other people YOUR age and also at school ask people their email ddresses and email them asking their day.if they become close to you then they might actually turn out to be your best friend.

The person above me is right. But, you should'nt change yourself, just to make friends. Trust me, you will find friends. Just be yourself, and don't act full of yourself just to make friends. People will love or hate you for who you are, but that's how we make friends and enemies. And even though we don't really like the enemy part of it, that's life. There's really nothing to worry about, just be yourself. And then you'll be fine.

The best thing to do, is be yourself. You come from another city, so it will be exciting to share experiences and learn new things. People will be curious about you. Be honest and be a good friend to whoever you meet. You will be just fine. :)
