Does anyone have tips for high school? I’m 16 and going back to school and am so scared( even though it’s not my first year…but I don’t have much self-esteem that why I‘m so scared) I’m scared that guys will not like be because I’m so unsure of myself…although I’m very tall (6ft) and pretty ( long brown hair, and big brown eyes, and thin) I also scared of the girls because I’m very sensitive, and am easy made to cry. Any tips to help me not be so shy and unsure of myself?

It's tough to really give you any tips, because all you can truly do is be confident in yourself and not let what others say affect you. You need to ask yourself, why are you so sentive....why is it so easy for others to make you cry? Did something happen to you when you were younger that lowered your self esteem.....In the end, it's up to you. You have to walk into that school and command it...take control. Don't let what others say affect you. Let it roll off your back and go on....Believe in yourself, and know that you are beautiful in your own ways, be it your personality or even your looks.....In the end, if you truly are still scared....do something like a little make over to feel different about yourself....try a new style of clothing....or get a new, cute haircut....Trying a new 'do can sometimes lead to a new, more confindent you! :D
I just graduated high school and i am heading off to college this sunday and i feel the exact same way you do. IBut i think that you and i need to remember something as we get ready for the first day of school. We are who we are, so we might as well take our personalities and looks, and use them to our advantage. Stay true to yourself and always have a good sense of humor. Everyone loves someone who is not only confident and comfortable with themselves, but they also love someone who knows how to laugh and make people laugh. This will even help you in the guy department too. The best of luck to you---you'll be fine.
I'm also 16 and going back this fall. =)
I felt the same way when I first started out in high school (who's gonna be my locker partner? Who am I gonna sit with in the caf?) but by this time I've warmed up to it all.
You seem to be sure of yourself being pretty so I don't see what the problem is. If you love yourself and exude that confidence, people will notice it too. And, I don't know about you but the whole bullying thing doesn't happen too much to girls at my school so unless it's actually happened to you, don't worry too much over it.
I'm also a highschool student and i used to be the same way. Now i am overly confident and I don't really care much about what people think of me. The key to getting out there and feeling good about yourself is making sure you look good and feel confident in whatever you're wearing. Pick a favorite outfit for the first day that you absoultly love, and feel great in it. When you walk, try to maintain good posture so its kinda like your taking the world on. No one is going to want to talk to you if you have your head staring at the ground the entire time your walking somewhere. A good way to start talking to people and building your confidence is complimenting people no matter who they are. If you like the most popular girl in schools shoes, tell here, then you two will start talking about where she got them, how much they cost, and before you know it you two will be talking on a regular basis. Smile at people, and always make eye contact, it shows your interested and alert. Join clubs, and some sort of sports so that way you meet new people and you'll be able to keep in contact with them through meetings or practices. Its mostly about being confident with yourself, if people see you're this confident individual with a smile on their face, they'll want to be around you. Everybody loves social individuals. Don't be afraid to ask people questions to keep the conversation going, and before you'll know it you will have a ton of friends.
Yeah. I'm going to be a sophmore going back into school also so I know how you feel. I think that first you should be confident with yourself. You need to name all the good things about you in order to see the good in yourself. Guys love girls with confidence..its key. Don't let the other girls get to you. I'm sure that many of the girls are really nice once you get to know them and chances are they're probably feeling the same way you are. Just smile a lot and be yourself. Be very friendly also but not clingy. Just have fun..I'm sure you'll like it.
well you have to build up your self-esteem :D like maybe engage in sports or karate, aikido or whatever. I didn't have much self-esteem myself when I was in grade school, i was quiet, shy, , but then I took aikido (martial art) during summer, and once i passed the exam and got my yellow belt, i felt i could do anything.
in my freshmen year i showed my real self to my class during performances, and obviously they found out i wasn't dead shy, they were all WOOHOO-ing and clapping.
build up your self-esteem! so you say you've got the looks, all you need is confidence! :D some people don't have much confidence because they don't think they're pretty, but i don't think much of physical attributes anyway. but since you say you've got the looks already, why not combine confidence with it? it'll head you a looooong way through high school.
oh, and be yourself =). wannabees are soo losers ;)
In high school people eventually start to only care about themselves and their groups of friends... you'll be fine! And I'm defiently sensitive, too! But if you know someone is talking about you there's a HUGE chance they talk about everyone else, too, so you're most likely not a target for them.
Work out, you will begin to look and feel stronger. And try not to take things too seriously! Your very young still and the world lay ahead. Find things to do that you enjoy and go for them.
I was exactly like that when i was your age, now I'm happily married to a beautiful girl, reasonably succesful and making my way just fine.
Just remember high school is a time to have fun!!! The rules are strict on the surface, but in comparison with the rest of your life, it's not so bad!!!
Be yourself. Don't try too hard to fit in, and stay away from all those cliches that all school have.
You'll manage.
