<p>I am a junior in high school and I am going to be attending a brand new school in a week. I had to transfer due to transportation issues (my current school is an hour away) to a closer private school. I have never been the "new girl" before and I am really nervous. Do you have any advice as to how I can make my transition easier?</p>
<p>Smile! And be really friendly. SMILE.</p>
<p>^Yea. At first people will be interested in you because you’re new. Then it’ll fade, so find your friends fast. Be friendly, smile, and don’t be reclusive. </p>
<p>I was a “new girl” for 2 weeks (then I moved back. haha). It was freshman year though so everyone was finding their friends. Junior year might be a little harder since people have already formed their “cliques”. So don’t be afraid to take the initiative and make friends yourself.</p>
<p>get to know everyone… not just the first people who say hi. they might not be the type of people you’ll want to be friends with in the long run.</p>
<p>I was the new girl this year (as a freshman), and I knew some people from lacrosse earlier, but I met lots of people until I found my “group”.</p>
<p>have fun, smile, be outgoing, and be yourself =)</p>
<p>You should join clubs. You’ll be enabled to meet people who possess similar interests as you, something that could serve as a way to ensure that your transition is simplistic, while also allowing you to make new friends.</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>And oh yes, I will be sure to watch Mean Girls again.</p>
