The worst thing is tho is the second day because u don't know if u can sit with the same person again
Erin McGuirk omg that's so true doh
Omg yessss
That is sooo true
yess
Omg for real tho
I’m moving to a new school and I don’t wanna be *THAT* girl that sits alone😢
Drama Mama llama how was it bcs im moving schools and I'm going to year 6/sixth grade 😨
Same omg 😭😩
@@shira966 is that still happening?
IKR and if you like sit alone once people will call you loner and you become the loner!
I moved 4 times. Just let someone adopt you! That's what everyone did to me😅
I feel like moving in the middle of the school year is easier because people will know that you're new and offer to hang out with you. Then there's me, moving right before the year starts
Angelica Romero ikr
I'm literally forcing myself to try out for a sport just so I can meet people
I'm so scared of sitting somewhere at lunch because if I sit somewhere on the first day, idk if I can sit with them on the second! what should I do?? Im desperate 😂
Angelica Romero yeah true last year i moved in the middle and ppl where super helpful now im moving agian before and im nervous
K and R Castillo I started school last Wednesday, and even though I'm on a sports team, I still have no friends since i never see my team around
I'm starting 8th grade at a new school and I'm kinda terrified 😭
SAME IM STARTING 8TH AT A NEW SCHOOL AND IM STRESSEED
+Autumn Marie THANK YOU SOMEONE SHARES MY STRUGGLE! IM SO NERVOUS
IKR
+Autumn Marie WERE IN THIS TOGETHER GIRL LMAO 😂❤️
YES LMAO
"hey, we don't have friends, let's sit somewhere" xD laughing bc that's probably me in a few weeks
xD
how'd your first day go lol
Kinda alright. In fact, I'm skyping my only new friend from school right now cx
SAME!!! I'm moving soon
I'm gonna tell a super long story about this, actually.
So one the first day I had an assigned seat in my homeroom, so there was a girl on my right side who ended the row of seats we were apart of. I was focused on watching everyone else come back from the summer and find their friends and get super excited to talk to them. At first I felt lonely, while focusing on a pair of friends. I wanted to become friends with them. I wanted to have at least one friend. So I turn back to the girl beside me and smile to her. She seemed to be new, also. That day, we had to go to the cafeteria so they could explain what our team (Basically the specific side of the hall we were on) was going to be doing. When walking inside, the girl who sat beside me was kind of lingering around me and I lingered around her. We both looked for a seat, and I looked to her and asked her with a smile "Hey, um.. There's a seat over there. Wanna sit with me?" She nodded and seemed really happy I invited her over. We made a very small conversation about how loud it was in the school and I told her I was new, and she said she was too. We laughed it off awkwardly, then let ourselves take in everything going on. I thought about what would happen if her and I became friends. During the days we had to do challenges. when it came to lunch, I knew what I was gonna do. I walked up to her, and with a smile, asked her. "Hey, I don't know if you're sitting with someone, but if you aren't, do you wanna sit with me?"
Lunches later, I ended up finding out her Skype and we talked about common interests such as gaming, fooling around with friends, watching tv, ect. Liz, her name was, is now my best friend. She's been to my house, and I've been to hers. We had seats next to each other in homeroom (hence HAD, the teacher moved seats in the class so now we sit a bit apart, but it's alright), we have lockers above each others, we know each others schedules and wait for the other after class so we can walk together. She's a good friend to have, and she brings out the real me when she's around. I'm honestly super quiet around people I don't really know well, and I don't like to talk much. But when I'm with her, my best friend, she makes me feel like I can be myself around anyone and not be judged. I'm a loud, funny, crazy, person. I like to be that way. And she enjoys it when I'm like that, too. Although we don't have any of the same classes besides homeroom (Which doesn't count as a class), we always try to see each other during the day and in between our schedules. She's a supportive, shy, awkward, hilarious, person. I'm glad I met her, and I'm glad I asked if she wanted to sit with me that first day. I may have only known her since August, but she's a good friend. She's my best friend, and I plan to keep it that way for a long time.
*it's harder when you have social anxiety*
Fr😭
Listen I'm moving and I've been threw all this crap 🙄 so here are some tips :
1.ask a girl/boy who seems really cool or chill/funny/nice or whatever at your class and tell them "hey! Can I sit with u at lunch? omg ! Btw those are so cute *point at shoes or something "
2.DONT ACT SHY! (It's hard I KNOW) but yea
3.act super nice! (Not to nice but nice)
4.Make sure u ask about 2 people if you can sit with them cause sometimes THAT ONE PERSON IS LIKE "omg so sorry all the seats are taken " so then you go with the other person
HeyitsDenys thx i needed tips bcs im freaked out I'm moving school and i'm going to year 6 😨😵
YESSS thanks queen im gonna use this now
What sucks is I'm always super outgoing and like "I love your shirt!" and they just go 😐"thanks..." and that's the end of the convo. I don't think it's me honestly because I've never been mean to anyone... I don't know what to do m
@@nadia-yx6re you can’t make a conversation off that.
I start tommorrow and I'm very scared
Me 2
Sssaaam..meee

Karina Limas that’s genius...ima do that

Thank you for making these videos. My daughter is 14 and about to start high school in not only a new school but an entirely new country. I will share her videos with you as I think they may help her. Thanks again for taking the time to share with us. I think you are doing a wonderful thing. :-)
crazy to think im going into highschool and shes already done!!
@@kiwikoffee6246 Bro fr. I am senior wbu?
@@Ali-fx6jd imma be a freshman. scary af! any tips?
@@kiwikoffee6246 Sure. Stand staright up (You don't want to look timid or insecure even if you are.) If you have free dress try to wear jeans and something comfterable but nothing exotic. You don't want to push the principles buttons on the first day. Try to befriend someone who has been there longer than you have. They will get you around the school for the first week or two (especially in lunch) Lastly don't try to be funny or answer peoples questions. ( You still don't know who the class clown is and you don't want to fall for his traps. It will be embaressing.) I hope these tips can help you out bro. 👍
@@Ali-fx6jd thank you soooo much. quick question though what do you mean by questions like anything in general? also i start cross country today so i might meet some older kids there
What I did at lunch was sit on my the bench and read, no conversation, no friends, just me staring at an open book
Smart idea bismarck
You have to not care what anyone thinks or else this is really hard to do
This video is so much help! I'm moving and I don't know anyone and the anxiety is reaaaaaal
Secily Eldridge Anxiety is real
So I'm moving to a new school for my freshman year. I'm transferring to a huge public school where I don't know anyone. The thing is that it's multiple schools combining, so people who see me won't know that I'm new, they'll just assume I went to a different school. If everyone assumes that, everyone will assume I already have friends... What do I do?
Just talk to someone in your class that seems nice. this might sound silly but ask them a question (even if you already know) like do you know where this class is or that and then you'll start talking. It could also be important to ask what lunch they have.
mary_ schming awh same I'm going to this vocational school and I'm honestly scared. how did you turn out ?
Im moving mid High school and I'm just so tempted to skip lunch
Annie Draper THATS WHAT IM PLANNING. GONNA GO TO THE LIBRARY
Same 😩ill be in a new country and school in tenth grade 😩
xDidi Zockx hows it going?
Same
yeah i'm moving to a new school, in another freaking country with a totally different accent. That's even worse
I start a new school today and I'm so scared o don't like starting conversations sooo i probably won't ask to sit with anyone my plan is to just not eat and sit alone cause I honestly don't want to do anything else 😂
I was bullied in 6th grade but i switched to homeschooling and now I'm switching back to a public school... can u like maybe make a video on that? Kinda a topic about socializing and first impressions?
It's unfortunate that all these people in the comment section that don't have friends aren't where I am. LIKE WE'RE ALL ALONE, TOGETHER.
I'm not gonna have any friends when j start my new school 🙃 except my friends that still go to my current school that I have contact with (talk on discord)
aha these comments are from many years ago-
most of these ppl have graduated
I just started school today and I was terrified. I was so grateful that I met 3 ppl on the first day and they where so nice.
Me talking to myself:
_well here we go again..._
Looks at people, My brain cells
_Nah sis we gon sit alone we don’t need them people_
you good?
FELT
UPDATE
I’m moving schools very soon and lunch is the one that worries me the most. Thank you for your tips.
Thanks for making these videos, I've been watching these, and preparing for my new school. i am absolutely terrified 8th graders are scary. these chilled some nerves but not all still thank you so much.
I start a new school tomorrow. This would have been better for me if I had started on the actual first day of school but I didn't decide to transfer until a couple of weeks into the school year(I'm a sophomore in high school btw). I have a good advantage here because I'm transferring from the private school where my mom works to the public school where I live. The school I'm leaving is like an hour away and it sucks but this new school is 5 minutes away and I grew up in the town and know some kids. In fact my 3 best friends go to the new school. I'm kinda nervous but really excited
Tristan Radeka how did you survive?
thank you so much for making this video!!! it’s so helpful :) i’m new and it’s my freshmen year of high school and lunch has been very stressful since i don’t know anyone
I was in the same school district starting from preschool to 6th grade, and I would most likely always be the one to greet the new kid if they were in my class, but now it's totally different. I'm going into 7th grade to a DoD (department of defense, a school on a military base) school in England. This video helped, thank you!
im 12 im not graduated yet but its making me nervous cause i don't even know if i am going to wear the uniform in first day,which seat im going to and i don't wanna be awkard to sit next to anybody my anxiety is attacking me.
I literally moved every single year growing up. I got used to always knowing no one and feeling awkward. It messed me up socially. I have made sure my kids have got to stay at one school.
Thank you so much! You just got me to stop BALLING my eyes out
im moving from a tinnnyyyyy town in New Mexico to the city of Tucson Arizona... going from a school with a total of about 500 kids, to a school with a total of about 2000 kids... as a sophomore. lord help me.
Catherine Jean know this is a year l8 but did everything work out good for you ?
Catherine Jean Whoaa (sorry this is a year late) but I just moved TO new mexico and joining a new high school (9th) in the middle of the year. btw I moved to Gallup. (Sorry I just thought that was interesting lolol)
i'm starting a new school on Monday, and i'm super excited! and this video is very helpful
I'm going to a new school I'm a different state I just moved to North Carolina and all I can worry about is the first day and lunch. This was very helpful. And I love your videos! Thanks ^.^
I am moving and I'm sad 😪
Thank you for making this video! I'm most likely moving from Utah to Florida and I'm sooo nervous!
Same I'm starting highschool this year! Like if we can be friends??!!!
So excited you are back! Please make more vids!! Haha :)

I'm a filipino and I'll be transferring to UK starting next school year. I'm worried 😟 as a sophomore
_hwngmnhyn_ • kpop where in the uk if it is london well good luck not tryna scare but London children can be really rude depends which side u go
How was it?
@@User-tm8yh hi, sorry for responding 3 years later, but I really need to know in which parts of London the people are nicer since I’m moving there
this really helped and boosted my confidence.....I'm about to go to my first day in a new school (grade 10) I'm still not wanting to go and really nervous but it helped
moving from Georgia to utah... the summer before senior year... thank god this school lets you use phones at lunch, in between classes, etc....
hey I live in Utah!
+Jocelyn Ortiz sweet!
+Cole Bowers prepare for the humidity and the heat...
I just moved to Utah from South Dakota!!!
+Jocelyn Ortiz I also live in Salt Lake!!! it's really pretty here but I miss my home... :(
I'm going to another school for high school, and I'm terrifiedddd :(
Thanks this helped boost my confidence so much!!!!
lil late to this vid but ya wish I was as outgoing as you lol cuz I just ended up sitting at an empty table and it has remained empty to this day 😬
Going into a new school junior year. Good thing I'm used to moving
Im currently in the school bathroom during the lunch period because I have no one to sit by. This is the second day. I meet friendly people in class but none of which are “lunch” friends. They’re just nice people.
aw :( hopefully it gets better for u! i just transferred and had my first day and i barley talked to anyone since i didn't know anyone and i sat alone at lunch ☹️ it's so hard the first couple of days , when i was a freshman it took me a while to ask my classmates if i could sit with them for lunch and we ended up being great friends and they introduced me to other ppl. although at my new school it's way harder to make a friend i can tell it gets better!
I'm so scared that people wouldn't talk to me or being alone at lunch, I'm from Argentina so my English isn't perfect
i remember my first at my new high school. I moved from Dallas to Rockwall. I was terrified but i knew about 2 ppl cuz i had football practice 1 week bfre scool started, lucky me but it was still hell first Day. Im starting my 2nd semester at this scool and I love it Here. Dont worry jus give it time. Btw im a freshman in Highschool
I’m gonna be a new girl at a private school and I have a cousin who is same age as me yet I never met her, I’m hoping that my dad contacts her dad or mom and tell them that I’m coming to her school so I don’t have to worry
BUT AGAIN
she might not wanna be my friend ;^;
I’m becoming an 8th grader
good luck :) be nice to everyone and make a good impression!
alkyssa vervark awww Tysm!
@@imtiredforever4569 how was it?
@@dawsoncarpenter2244 Oh, it was cool I guess…. My cousin was nice to me and ofc her friends, but very judgey to the other people…. But it was okay I guess-
Omg I'm moving from nc to fl after sophomore year too, this video is amazing.
The only conversation topics I have are about fucking Minecraft 😭 HELP
So nervous about school tomorrow cuz I'm new :( hope everything goes well your video was helpful
I'm moving to a new school senior year, please help
Cesia F. Ramos how are you now pls tell
I moved from BC to California recently. I start school (10th grade) in three days and I'm completely terrified.
Saaamme you're not alone
What’s bc
Am I like the only guy in the comments
I'm here don't worry 😉
+Kakashi Sensei Lmao suh dude
Aint the only one bruh
Nah
I’m about to be a junior in high school, and I’ve been to a private school since 6th grade and now I’m transferring to a public school and I’m nervous about all of the changes. At my old school, they didn’t mix grades in lunches and classes (unless it was a study hall) so it’s kind of terrifying that I’m going to be around so many different ages, plus my private school only had 500 kids, and my new school is going to have 1,000-2,000.
I know this is YEARS late but how did it go? 😭 I’m going to a huge public school and I come from a private small school so I’m hella anxious
@@inake360So it actually went good at first! If you ride the bus, that’s a great place to start. Always try to make friends with people that live close. Or if you have homeroom, try there. The teachers are usually nice and will help you. Just try to get used to the school layout for the first day.
I'm moving soon and I just really hope there's another new person so I don't feel lonely ;-;
UPDATE OR BLOCK!
@@alphazero5614 bit late lol i was fine i made friends through classmates and now i’m starting college
@@24_01.mp4 good for you!
omg thats what i am thinking too
Well starting to a new school is now like a glass of water to drink for me but it still has that nice feeling :D
We don't have cafeteria's in Australia, we just sit anywhere in the school except in out of bound areas like parking lots, near the school fence etc.
Same as mine, except my new school has a cafeteria and and outside area to sit in, but its at the front of the school! We can’t go to the oval or anything, and the library is small and shut off 😭
Going to the 8th grade. Vancouver to Toronto, major anxiety, this will be fun.
Omg, this is my first time moving to another school and I'm terrified,
Leaving my best friends Katie,Joey,Natalie,Peter my ex,
I knew them since pre k and I'm freaking out ;-;
But thanks to your tips you really helped,
THAnK YOUU
Here at school when the bell rings for lunch, we go anywhere in the school and can sit almost anywhere, like in classrooms. My friend group has a classroom all to ourselves, people sit in hallways and walk around or sit outside and eat
Shanice Sunx Bruh, you luckyyy
I am starting year 6 in a new school and I am kinda worried but I do know some people who go to that school lol but they are in year 5 so yeah I can’t do anything I am really scared AHHHH
I WAS HERE YESTERDAY AND YOU HAD 300 SUBS AND NOW YPU HAVE 700
Say whaaaat!😳
I start my new high school tomorrow , i’m a senior & i’m so nervous.
Hey! Love your video and can so relate, I live in Florida too I was wondering what part of Florida do you live in? (:
Thank you so much
im moving in the middle of the year but luckily my bestfriend goes to my new school lmao
I'm switching to a local school that I have tons of friends at but I'm so nervous about lunch!
Im going into 6th grade at a middle school with some other people in other grades and i get nervous because i dont know if they will be mean. Or like when there is nowhere to sit. Idk but lunch is the nightmare at school for me
I might be transferring out of private school and into the school I was supposed to go to for highschool because I miss my friends. I’m mostly nervous because my current school is 400 people and the new school is about 1200
I'm moving from Israel to Florida and I've been learning online for 2 years so it's gonna be so awkward. I don't wanna be that 1 girl that sits alone
When I started 9th grade I was so nervous I didn't talk to anyone so at lunch I didn't want to look like a loser so I didn't eat I just stayed in the bathroom until it was over
Love This
I’m moving in a few weeks which is in the middle of the year.. it would be ok because I have a person in student council that’s supposed to help that was assigned to me. But all popular people get in student council. So they will later leave me and bully me so I have NO IDEA WHAT TO DO!!!!
How’d it go?
how did it go?
Hey I'm going into year 10 after lockdown and I'm moving to a different school I know like 3 people there from my drama school who I'm relatively close to but I'm worried because I have anxiety and touretts syndrome does anybody have tips and ideas for getting prepared and ready for this 😅
I’m moving from Maryland to Florida and I’m so freaking scared...I have no idea what I’m gonna do
I might move soon and I want to look like a badass
I live in nc too bout to move to California so this is a really good vid
thanks omg you really helped me
Just moved from ohio to Florida starting freshman year

I'm going to a public school for senior year.. I haven't been to public school since 5th grade and I'm scared
i’m going to a new high school, but like the high school has a middle school directly associated with it so all the freshman know each other and that just leaves me :(
im going to be new this year, im freaking out! i moved to a different country and the schools here are really different. theirs only 5 periods in the day and the worst part is you get to choose your locker! what if i choose a locker next to someone i don't like? if anyone has advice please tell me soon. im starting school on Tuesday.
in my current school everyone has like seats that they sit in it not assighned but its a widely known "rule" to not sit in someone's "spot" what if I sit in someone's spot and they hate me forever? :-:
im going to a new school senior year which sucks the most.. tips
im moving to a new school and im in 7th grade but at my new school there isn't a middle school so im going to be going to high school and i don't know anyone there and im really nervous that im going to sit alone at lunch

dude i’m moving to a school 3 hours away from my old house with my mum (i’m moving to live w my dad) i start in january and i’m so FOOKIN scared
I'm in the 10th now and I'm kinda socially awkward, I speak monotonely and don't show any emotions but laugh from time to time. And I have social anxiety so it will be hard.
I'm moving to the US from the DR, I'm going to 9th grade and I'm moving in the middle of the year 😭😖I'm terrified, idk anything about American schools (my small amount of knowledge is from mean girls and stuff). How is the cafeteria thing? How is the walking to classes thing? How do you make friends?? I'm mostly introverted yet social when I have to be. Although I am quite scared, it's not like I haven't gone through this before (I've moved 4 times cause of my mum's work), though I'm basically clueless when it comes to what I actually have to do and how everything is.
I'm going to a 4th grade next year ;-; and I'm moving schools next year! Gimme some tips for lunch! I'm a girl not a boy I'm just using my brothers tablet but thank u for the tips I appreciate it! :3♡⊙☆
