Answer 1

It is hard at first. See what clubs the school has, and join a couple of them that interest you. See what styles the top kids wear, and buy that sort of clothing. Get involved in your church's youth group, if they have one.

Don't get involved with the dopers, be a good kid.

Do your schoolwork, get your homework in on time. Smile. Be pleasant. You do not have to be the life of the party to make friends. Show school spirit, go to the athletic games and cheer for your team. When you have met a few kids, have one over for video games or something fun. (With your parent's permission.)

Before you know it, you will be part of a nice group.

Answer 2

You are probably correct in all of your fears but they are not nearly as bad as you may think.

I friend of mine said that when you do not have a choice the decision is easy.

You will make new friends and adjust to the school.

You will probably at least for a while continue the contact with your old friends through telephone calls. IMs and e-mail and perhaps even a visit or two.

The new school will be easier or more difficult than your prior school. Some of the subjects may be different. Ask your present school to send an unofficial transcript to the new school about a month before you move so that the new school will be able to program you properly. Obtain a copy of the unofficial transcript for yourself and take it with you on your first day.

It will not be easy but within a few weeks you will be able to adjust to the new school and have at least a few new friends. Someone has defined intelligence as the ability to adjust to new situations.

Good luck.

Well any time you move it's hard, especially to a new state, (I would know, I'm in 8th grade and am getting ready to move for the 8th time since Kindergarten, who knows how many before that), but you'll get through it! Just keep in touch with your old friends. Remember the old saying? Make New Friends but Keep the Old, One is Silver but the Other's Gold. So make new friends, too! Besides, now you can change yourself, being whoever you want to be. You can carve out a enw identity, and there's no label attached you to. So think of it as an oportunity, it will be hard at first, but just keep tryin'! Also, did you know the Chinese symbol for Crisis contains the symbols for both Danger and Oppurtunity? Every Crisis(Your move) contains both a Danger(losing touch w/ ur friends, etc.) and an Oppurtunity(making new friends, starting fresh, etc.) Good Luck!

Answer 4

Do you have any good family friends who would allow you to live with them for a year and a half until you graduate?

I refused to move during my daughter's high school years, and I feel the same with my son. The social personality is being formed, and having to start all over can completely change the way you relate to other people.

Find a friend, or a grandmother, or a single mom who might allow you to stay with them during the school year. Maybe you can stay while your family goes. You can come home for summer, etc. and still stay with your friends through prom & homecoming and graduation.

Take care, sweetie,

Answer 5

I had the same situation when I moved before my sophomore year. It makes it easier to get new friends if you join clubs that you are interested in. That way you can find people who like the things you like. Ask people about themselves. Smile and look people in the eye. Help people out whenever you can. If this is not working out develop a hobby that you enjoy, and read books about it during your spare time. I had a hard time adjusting because I was so shy at that time. I grew out of my shyness. Joining the marching band really helped me.

Answer 6

I have moved around a lot. I'm not in high school yet, but I know what it like to move. It will be a little hard in a new school. Especially one if they have clicks. The best way to make friends is to be confident, meet the kids you are sitting next to, have small talk conversations with people you see a lot.

Hope I help! Good luck.

Answer 7

Of course at first its very hard to adjust but you do not know that your new environment now is better than before just keep on making friends and go along with them.
