Hun. Honesly I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. I'm sure there's bound to be some mean people but I'm sure a lot of people will like you. When I was first entering high school I was worried about the same things as you are but once I got there I realized it wasn't so bad at all.. Good luck with school

No reason to be scared. Remember, everyone is going through the same thing you are.

As for the Juniors and Seniors, they remember their first day in high school too, so some of them are extremely helpful when it comes to things like being lost in a big new school.

Did you go from elementary school to middle school or junior high? Well, if you did, it is the same thing.

Remember all your friends will be there too. Think about how scared new people with no friends are going to be.

You will make it through the first day then look back on the second day and say that it was not that bad and probably laugh at yourself for being scared.

I know I did when I started college 2 years ago. I was afraid cause all the students were teenagers and I was 40. I thought people would laugh at me cause I was so "old." Funny thing was there were a lot of us older people there.

So, just remember, everyone there is going through the same thing you are. Just try to have fun and make new friends with someone who does not have a friend yet in your school.

I agree with what the others have said.

There is no need to be worried.

You are nervous, which is understandable.

Will the older kids be mean to you? NO

Will they ignore you? Some might, but that is not because they are mean, just because they have their own things going on.

You will know a lot of people in your grade (your friends), plus you will meet new people.

Well I'm a junior in high school and I can tell you that it is a lot different then jr high.. People don't focus so much on clicks people just focus on if you are nice and a good person.. You'll find some good friends and probably stick with them for awhile but don't get caught up in doing what everyone else is doing b.c you don't want to start using drugs or anything remember to stay your own person and be you no one else

Most of your classes will be with your own grade level... So don't worry too much. If you join a sport, you will be with all grade levels and eventually meet new people.... You will get to know some upper classmen, and meet new underclassmen.... Look at it as a new experience... I had the best time of my life in HS.... And I was really shy... But I had fun! don't worry.... Let us know how is goes!

You will always be "scared" in life when you are faced with a new and unfamiliar situation. The seniors will have too much to worry about to be bothered wasting time hating or hassling you. They will have senioritis, be worried about college essay exams, and requirements, and they're so ready to be done that your existance won't matter that much. Many juniors may be the same way. They probably have better things to do than make your life miserable. I might say watch out for the sophomores, but chances are as long as you are nice and friendly to everybody and you don't participate in gossip or other social faux paus you will make friends and will come out unscathed. Try to get involved in at least one sport, club, or school activity; you will make friends and you'll have something to do besides homework. Try to get on the goodside of at least one teacher. It may not seem like it, but having a teacher who thinks you're a good kid can help you out in ways you might not even think of. Also, remember if you need help or advice your teachers and your guidance department are always there to help you.

Hey, I am a little scared right now. I just finished all of my prerequisite courses for nursing school. That was at one college campus. And I am about to begin nursing school at another campus.

This will be very new to me, and very challenging, but I have to remember that I did this when I went from junior high to high, now from one campus to another.

You have gone from elementary to junior high (most likely) and now to high school. You got through it before, you can do it again.

Don't be scared.. I remember my first day of high school I was mortified however after the first day I was like what was I afraid of. You have your friends by your side and before you know it your Going to be a senior so enjoy your high school years because they are by far the best you will ever experience.
Goodluck on your first day of school
