New school means new start, new friends, teachers, new you! Here are some tips from what some people would suggest. Enjoy and good luck!
Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 3:
Building self confidence
-
1Find your own style and inner beauty. Just look at the mirror, say 'I'm beautiful', 'I look nice today' or any other positive sentiments. Don't say bad things or think negatively about yourself. Believe you're that you're nice and a good person inside and out. If you believe that, then you will start making people at your school believe that too!
-
2Believe in yourself! You shall pass!" You have to be serious about each school year, if you're serious enough than you will believe you can do it, you can study, pass, get the best marks, etc. It just requires faith and hard work.Advertisement
-
3Let go of the bad memories! Let of go the old bad feelings. Forget about all the bad things you've been called in your old school. Forgive your old friends' misbehavior, such as making fun of you. Forget your embarrassing memories, since no one in your new school will know about it -- a new school is a new start.
-
4Relax. Take time for yourself. In the last couple of days before school starts just relax, play in your room perhaps and think about the good and cool things that may happen during this year. Stay positive! That's what confident people do!
-
5Try a new look. New you! Have a new look, get a trendy haircut, face cleaning maybe, eyebrows done... do anything that will make you feel confident and comfortable.

Method 2 of 3:
Making new friends
-
1Social media
- Before school if you know someone from your new school, such as a relative or old friend, ask for their usernames on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and possibly mobile numbers. You can choose between these people; (the good ones),and get to know each other before school starts. This can actually help a lot!
-
2Introduce yourself. In class, or out, it doesn't matter when or where. Just let people know that you're the new student, everyone will be interested in getting to know you. Think ahead to what you want people to know since a new start is a way to reshape your "personal brand" and make sure you mention these things.
-
3Do good things.
- Say hello to your friends, be kind to them and others. People will notice that you're a nice person so they may act the same way towards you.
- Help your friends, favors will be returned. Make sure these favours won't affect others negatively.
- Smile!
-
4Be good looking.
- Stay in shape, have a healthy diet and try to get good sleep. Aim to have the healthiest lifestyle you can!
- Stay clean by having good washing routines and stay well groomed. Try and have a shower a day or as often as you need.
- Make sure you smell good! If you smell bad all the time people won't want to be around you.
- If you are a girl who likes to wear

makeup on a daily basis, try not to overdo the makeup but instead, try a simple style to begin with. If you find that other students have a look you want to try, go for it, but you may want to gauge what's allowed and what other students do before you do something extreme like turquoise eyeshadow.
