The Girl's Guide To Growing Up

You know how you start your first day of school, and you instantly feel like you wanna go back home and hide in a corner? You start wondering how people will react to you; the way you dress, act, talk, and the way you behave. It's like you try your hardest but you always end up on an obstacle course. We've all been there, done that, so here are a few tips to help you get over first day jitters.

Don't be shy. The best way to get over your nerves is by having someone to talk to so, the first thing to do is to make a friend. Don't try too hard, be too perky or basically just plain out shy. You don't want to overwhelm them! Just be yourself, because no one is a better friend than someone who likes you for you!

Avoid getting lost. I've learned the hard way that some teachers don't take kindly to tardiness, even for a new student! You might want to find some one to help you around the school, show you the ropes and all. They could even be the potential friend that we mentioned earlier!

Find your voice. I have a friend who has terrible people-phobia. She refuses to talk to people because it literally makes her so nervous, she can't say anything. Try speaking up more in class. That might be hard for some of you, but the more you try, the easier it gets. Know your personality. Don't be the person who loves electronics more than people (I admit that's me!) because then, people will think you're a loner and steer clear of you. You should avoid that, unless that's what you want; then by all means have at it. Try to make small talk, start a conversation with somebody. Try asking if you could sit with someone or be their lab partner. Just remember that it's not cool to set people on fire! I've made that mistake one too many times!

Be confident. There is no one else in the world like you, so remember that! Be fabulous, be you, and don't let anyone convince you to try anyone else out. Confidence is the key to making friends, to beauty, to finding love... It's the foundation of girls' brains everywhere and makes way for all other thoughts, involving other people.

Kass from Colorado says: I'm moving soon to another state and I'll be a Junior. It would be easy to make friends if I'd be a freshman, or even a Sophomore so why is it so hard to make friends your 11th grade year?

Kass, we say, don't let that be true! Go to the office as soon as you get to school. There's bound to be a gang of students complaining about schedule holes and changes and such. Find a friendly looking girl, fun guy, or even a cute boy and politely walk up to them. Ask them if they can show you to one of your classes and then if you meet up again, later, make sure you catch up to them and thank them. Sincerely, GirlsInternational
