Answer 1

You'll do great. Some of the best years of your life are about to begin. Go outside and find a star in the sky. Calm yourself around it's serenity for a moment. And, then think for a long moment . . .burn the moment deep in your forever memory . . . of who you are this last night of your life before this great adventure begins (and eee-gads, is it EVER!!). Live long and prosper, Pilgrim!

Edit: Wednesday 3:49 p.m. Pacific time. Well? How did it go?!!

Answer 2

Allow me to keep you up all night with nightmarish visions, and experienced horrors of high-school terrorism.
Okay, I'm just kidding. First of all, you obviously have no intentions of sleeping tonight, considering the late hour.
You are thinking WAAAAYYYY too much. Seniors won't be focusing on you right away. They'll be focusing upon "The Laydeeees!"
However, if you are a slightly built guy, then establish yourself by being very KOOL, with a penguin on the pack.
Just steer clear of the ones you know by sight to be jerks and bullies. Keep your eyes open, and your guard up. Don't weenie-down to anyone, no matter how much you're peeing your shorts.
Don't worry about the first few days, and tomorrow will be a true relief once today over. It is what I call "The Longest Day".
You are going to meet some nice guys almost immediately, by being funny, (Not overly) and calm. BE KOOL! Be KOOL. Be cool.
be cooooll....beee coooolllll

Everyone is a target to the punks, so keep in mind, that the already-known targets from last year, are going to be the first to be pummelled.
Just stay away from them. They are probably nice and educated guys, but stay away from them at first. or you're asking for it.
Later, you will friend up with them, and the punks and jocks will be getting laid, and won't be focusing so much on you.
Don't wear a fanny pack!!!! Get your hair all cool too. Wear what the punks are wearing. Say "Heeey" to the ladies, but not to the punks' ladeees.
Don't look smart, be smart. Everyone envies the smart guy who is also KOOL.
I absolutely totally and intensely recommend you enroll in some martial arts courses, right away. They are very cheap, and people give you some room to walk if they know. DO IT!!!! It's big, and don't get into Freddy-Joes Tae-Kwan-Do-Class. Get your mom to spring 35 bucks a month for a serious Kenpo Kung Fu, or even a diversified Okinawan course. It will kill you the first week or so, but I have two girls with black belts, and nobody F***s with them EVER!
Consider it at least, and feel good about yourself, because you are the coolest guy you know, and getting cooler by the second.
Telling you not to worry is like telling Paris Hilton she's gotta go to jail this time. It's fruitless.
Don't be a target, but don't be a jerk. And definitely watch with your eyes. Look around you at all times, but carefully. Notice the girls who are looking at you, because they will be there. Girls are really good at hiding it, but once you're with a girl, about half the punks start gaining a bit of respect for you.
Then there's the hardcore freaks. Get the martial arts. You won't need to use it, but it's not a bad sofa to sleep on.
You'll be fine, and you'll be cool. Next year gets easier, and by then you'll be a brown belt, and everyone will love you.
You'll be fine.

My sons first day of 1st grade. The teacher put him on the wrong bus coming home. For 2 1/2 hours I was a nervous wreck. The school didn't have a way to contact the bus driver. I never want to go through that again. That was the worse feeling in the world.

Answer 4

Just stick with some of your close friends and you will be fine. Seniors will always try to pick on freshman but if you and your buddies stick together it will be fine. High school is fun as you get to choose your classes more than you did before. Relax and start being EXCITED as you are no longer in grade school or junior high. You are now a high school student. How kewl is that??????

Anxiety tip #1: Notice and Name.
The first step is to identify your patterns. What specific triggers are linked to your anxiety? Notice what sets your anxiety in motion, and give it a name. Once you bring it into the forefront of your consciousness, you can begin to make sense of it and then to address it.
Anxiety tip #2: Develop a Plan.
Many of us run ourselves ragged by not addressing our worries. One classic example: We’re afraid of getting breast cancer, but we don’t schedule the mammogram -- instead, we spin our mental wheels. Write your specific worry down, and then develop a plan to address it. Tackle one or two worries at a time. Once you’ve completed those, go on to the next on your mental list. This task-oriented process can give you a feeling of satisfaction; more importantly, it makes you feel less vulnerable, more in control of your life.
Anxiety tip #3: Move.
Exercise is one of the best self-treatments for anxiety available. It doesn’t matter whether you go for a walk, join a water aerobics class, dance, play tennis -- what does matter is that you get regular exercise, at least every other day. In the interim, whenever one of those cycles of ruminative worry hits, even simple activity -- minor housecleaning, a few minutes of gardening, some simple stretches, even just getting up and walking around for five minutes -- can help jog you out of that negative feedback loop.
Anxiety tip #4: Breathe.
A number of breathing techniques can alleviate anxiety. For one thing, many people find that when they’re anxious, they breathe shallowly, from the upper chest -- and when breathing is shallow and fast, the body responds with an increase in heart rate, blood pressure and stress hormones. In bad moments, they might even be holding their breath. Instead, take a few moments and simply notice your breathing patterns. After a few breathing cycles, take a deep breath. Let your belly be soft and relaxed, and breathe from your lower abdomen. Repeat -- and use this technique any time you notice that you're tense or worried.
Anxiety tip #5: Nurture Your Spirit.
Meditation and prayer trigger the relaxation response, helping calm the mind and body. Even the simplest of prayers or affirmations can help you let go of a worry and put everyday problems into perspective.
Anxiety tip #6: Reframe Your Thoughts.
Free form anxiety often is triggered or accompanied by a litany of negative internal "chatter." The good news is, the brain is an adaptive organ, and it is possible to break out of the negative mode. However, it takes patience and persistence. The first step is to notice when the negative labels start bouncing around in your mind. Simply notice that your thinking is following a particular track, in a nonjudgmental manner. Next, learn how to talk to yourself in a constructive and rational manner. What would you say to a dear and beloved friend in this instance? Try saying the same thing to yourself. This process is a hallmark of cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Anxiety tip #7: Watch the Toxins.
Many people use alcohol, caffeine, or nicotine as short-term solutions for their anxiety. The difficulty is that self-medicating with these substances only creates more problems in the long run. Break the cycle. Similarly, be careful with comfort food--this is one of those times that too much of a good thing can make you miserable.
Anxiety tip #8: Don’t Watch the News.
Use discretion with television, newspapers, and other sources of news. Of course, it is important to know what’s going on in the world, but our current culture--“all news, all the time,” highlighting the latest disaster in endless replays--can easily trigger or feed anxiety.
Anxiety tip #9: Don’t Worry Alone.
In the absence of realistic feedback, we often can spin some fairly creative doomsday scenarios. If something is troubling you, get the reassurance and reality checks you need. Consult someone you trust--a friend, family member, or a religious advisor, for instance. Anxiety often diminishes when we share our worries, and practical solutions to problems may emerge in the course of the conversation.

I agree with Marie, get the QUALITY hot tea - not the teabag garbage you find at the local grocery store. If you want a relaxing tea, I'd go with chamomile - takes some time getting used to though: http://www.adagio.com/herbal/chamomile.html?SID=1569637960681e54ebf0193bb293086d

Here are some other ideas to try: hot bath, resistance workouts, cardio/running sessions. Also cut out the refined sugar consumption.

Answer 7

Lots of other kids are going through the same thing. It's no big deal. You'll be fine. If you are picked on by seniors, don't worry about it. Be yourself. Don't let other people get you down.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Don't be nervous, people can tell. Be calm and cool to everyone, "dorks", popular kids, teachers, older kids. Plus maybe ur school is different but at mine no one knew what grade you were in.

Answer 10

Calm down! Its not that big of a deal. The more normal cool and relaxed you look the better!
