my first day of high school is on Monday. I’m actually a sophomore but I did my freshman year online. I’m really scared to go into high school cause I know for a fact I won’t know where any of my classes are and I’m a loner. Any advice on making friends? I went to this orientation today although I barely got a tour of the school which sucked. But everyone seemed to already be in their own friend groups. Everyone had someone to talk to. I had to just stare at my phone the whole time because no one talked to me. I don’t want my first day to be like that. I don’t know how to make friends or even talk to people. Help?

Hey, I just started my first year at college... which felt very similar. I was in this big scary place, I did not know a soul here, and the campus is huge. The first thing to keep in mind is everyone is feeling the same way that you are. A lot of people have never been to in person classes and have been in isolation for so long they feel like they can't talk to people either. My advice for you, is to be brave. Go up to some random people at lunch who look friendly and ask to sit with them. I did this my very first day, and now I have breakfast with those people 3 days a week. You are going into a new environment so be willing to try new things and sign up for clubs or after school activities that interest you (and guess what... when you go into those environments introduce yourself to people and just start a conversation)! I did this numerous times, and you know what? Out of the multitudes of times that I put myself out there I only got ONE response from a girl who was not friendly. When you get into your classes form study groups or get people's phone numbers and create group chats its a great way to break the ice in classroom. Most importantly, do not sike yourself out. You are not a loner you are having a very normal response to the past few crazy years we have had to endure and guess what you are not alone <3
ReplyKnow that everyone else is nervous too. Seek out who seem interesting to you and know you’ll be okay. It’s okay if not everyone sticks around. Consistency is half the battle with maintaining or making friends
