| Moved to a new highschool |

Hey
I've just moved into a new school and for the first week I was too busy with classes and all that and I haven't made many friends. It's pretty segregated at the school (like most other schools) as the minorities hangout with one another, although you do see some minorities with the caucasians. Also, it doesn't help when I moved to a new school as a senior without knowing anybody because pretty much everyone there has known one another for 8 years or so.
Anyway, ive been finding it hard to make friends here because ive tried talking to people in my classes and all that but I found that they're not my type (I'm taking all the "nerdy" classes cause my schedule wont allow me to take easy classes, and that doesnt help).
I was a soccer team captain in my old school but soccer season hasn't started here and so I am unable to show that side of me. I've signed up for a few clubs but they don't start until a few weeks later so I dont really have the chance to get to meet new people.
usually at a new school, most people go meet dudes at lunch and obviously ull find the different groups of people at the cafeteria, but at my school it's different cause we get to go off campus for lunch so all the seniors are gone and I'm stuck with juniors or sophmores at school. i've tried saying hi to a few but it just doesnt seem to be working out.
At break, everybodys gathered up around the campus but I don't know what to say to groups of people to let me join them cause to be honest, I've never done this before breaking into different groups of people because I've always had the same friends for years and years, and to all of a sudden be in a new environment is extremely hard for me to adapt. I don't know if I should say.."Hey wassup I'm ____, i'm new around here you mind if i join you guys?" but then that would sound a bit awkward though I dont know
I guess it's just the end of the second week so I shouldn't expect too much but then again, I hate being a loner or just with one other guy cause I'm used to being in large groups, since sports captains usually get the attention and all that and so it really sucks.
I really feel like a loser right now and all my confidence has gone, and asking such questions doesn't help but I really want help!
What should I do cause joining clubs and sports dont start until a few weeks later, and there is no cafeteria where i can just go ask to sit with them. and at break it's way too short so its kinda hard to find the right group of dudes.
thanks and I'd really appreciate your reply! |
