I've been in the same middle school for four years, grades 6-9. I'm doing final exams right now as a senior in grade 9. I only have three more left! I'm so excited about having to go to a new school for grade 10, but at the same time, I'm heartbroken that I have to leave my amazing school. Everything that was ever important to me happened in that school, and I just can't believe theres less then a week left and I have to say goodbye to it forever.
The new school I'm going to holds grades 10-12, and I know next year I'm gunna have a hard time with the older people.
I really want people to like me when I go to my new school. I'm not a dork, but I'm not mega-popular, I feel as if I'm popular amoung my own group, not everyone in general. But, I'm sure when you guys all went to school, or maybe now when your still in school, theres that group that makes you feel so outta place all the time, and you wanna be part of that 'click' SO bad. In our school, we call them 'preps'.
Next year, theres gunna be even more then there is this year, and thats what scares me most, I've tried so hard for the past four years to become friends with them, and actually maintain it, but it never ever worked out. They all thought they were to good to be hanging out with someone that wasn't known to be in their 'click'. In my heart I feel cooler than them because I don't put people down the way they do, and I know people like me more than they like them because I'm nice to everybody, and everyone knows me.
I'm just terrifyed that next year, all of that is gunna change. Nobodys gunna know me, I'm probably not gunna end up in any classes with my friends, and thats just gunna make everything worse. I NEED SOME ADVICE HERE. I'm goin outta my mind!!! I don't know how I'm gunna manage next year..
I need some advice on how to get people to like me when I go to a new school where nobody knows my name. I mean.. how do I become known, and liked?
10 points for best answer; please help me out! =(
 
dude a bit of a cliche but just be urself
when i went into high school even though i didnt have any classes with my friends i just hung out with them at break and made a few new ones in lessons and i was fine

and if u try really hard to get in with the popular people, well u would probably lose ur old friends and its better to have good friends than be popular

besides, most really popular people are dicks lol so yeah dont try hang out with them if they dont know u try making some friends with one or two of them first
 
Oh don't worry. I know you're going to anyway. But I'm kind of in the same shoes. Starting COLLEGE next year. Yeah. You think you're nervous for high school. ha.

Just be open, but keep your morals in mind as well. Talk to people, get to know people. Don't fret about popularity. I wasn't 'popular' but I wasn't totally geeky either (Well..I was a band geek but that's different). Just be comfortable with who you are. Don't worry what other people think because if they think they're too good for you, who cares. You'll probably never see them after high school anyway.
People are more friendly than you think. And in high school they mature more. My senior year was the best. I could talk to anyone from pretty much any 'click'. Our differences made no difference.

Just be optimistic, open, and friendly. Don't be anti-social and you'll be just fine.
