Just be friendly, yourself, and you will be fine. I always figured and still do that if people don't like me for me, it's their loss, not mine. You'll be fine. It's natural to be nervous, but remember, no one is better than you. (even if they think they are) haha

We all went through it, and you will too.....just remember, we're here for ya at the end of your day!!

Thanks, Susie.

Its just so hard to be myself. When I go to school, its hard to remember who I am. I also wish I could come online more often.

Both my daughters were kind of nervous about the first year of high school but once they got there they did great. Just find something to get involved in, for my daughters one was into art and the one thats in 10th grade this year it was music and marching band. Getting involved in something helps you make friends from all grades in school, not just the ones in your grade. Music has really made a difference in my daughter and I think her getting involved in something that required teamwork, like marching band has made all the difference in the world in her, more confidence, responsibility, etc. She enjoys high school much better than middle school.

Aw thanks you. *hugs* I will try not to quote you all, even thought its tempting.

But just know I'm reading all your posts, and I am starting to feel a little better.

I say get involved in extra curricular activities that you might enjoy and that will open you up to other kids who share the same interests. This is a very exciting time for you indeed!

Really? You think so?

I'm going to try to create a club, or join one.

I too was never one to be a part of the 'popular' crowd, and over time I learned that was OK! I made sure to keep around a few great friends and the experiences we shared were great! I am still close with 2 of a friends that I went to junior high and high school with (SharonKay being one of them). What got me through HS was being in one or two extracurriculars and getting a part-time job when I turned 16. I met just enough people that shared the same interests as me and actually liked me as a individual. We'll be here for your routing you on as you start on this adventure.

Your words are very encouraging. This means alot to me, knowing you all will be there.

Everyone here seems to agree upon the opinion that I should go ahead and join a club, or group. I'm still reading, but this helps.

I just wanted to say, thanks so much for helping me through this so far everyone. I'm starting to feel better. I think I'll start a rescue socity for animals. Or maybe club for writing.

Oh sweetie you are not the only one who feels this way ask around and you will see that others are in the same boat as you.

I remember that I was terrified about going into high school. Do not worry about it, you will make new friends and then see that it was not that big of a deal.

Being a geek pays off!

Someone mentioned boysâ€¦oh man when I was a freshman I drooled over all the seniors â€“ ah memories.

Remember though, just be your self.

Good Luck! :justahug:

I was not popular in either, but the trick is to join after-school clubs that spark your interest and you will make friends that way. Regardless of what others say, just surround yourself with people who like you for the wonderful person you are. The years will fly by faster than you know!

What wonderful advice. Thank you so much.

Because everyone is scared it's so much easier to meet new friends, because that's what everyone wants. Don't worry about it, you'll find new friends and your own place in highschool. Yes, I was a geek too, but I was a "band geek" and loved my other band geek friends dearly. My best advice is to embrase who you are and you'll soon find that there are other people out there like you.
Also remember to take time to back out and BREATHE...sometimes people forget.
*hugs*

Okay, I will remember that. I hope you're right. All I want is to make friends, and do well.

My daughter describes herself as a geek and is proud of it. When she was in the 11 -14 years school she found that there were not many people like her and she felt quite alone. She was not one of the popular ones because she was *geeky*. Now she is in the higher school and the students around her are preparing for what they do after their formal schooling has finished there are more people like her - and others WANT to be *geeks*. How about that!?!

Be proud of who you are.

You're always such a lovely person to talk to, you shouldn't have any worries.

I'll be sending lots and lots of good vibes your way. PM me if you want to.

Aw, thank you.

I will when I start high school. I will surely want to talk about it then. I am?

Thanks for your story and vibes, and it means alot. All of you...

Aw, I hope you're right, Ash! Okay, I only hope other people will feel the same, and I won't be alone.
