Gee.... I'm really Nervous

Going back to school always sucks, I know.
Okay, so one thing at a time.

1) Friends. Just talk to people. Strike up a conversation (best way is to compliment someone. people eat that shit up) and be yourself. The best way to make friends is to be outgoing and nice.

2) Learn effectively? Idk. What grade are you going into? Answer and I'll be able to answer this. :)

yea i know!!T^T and you can live (survive) in school por being yourself (a thing i need to do to T^T)

i know how you feel, most people get that way. as for friends just start up a conversation with someone sitting near you and start from there. or you could bring gum, always an effective conversation starter. how to learn, take notes, make a estrela or highligh what's important or if a teacher says you'll need it later or on a test. study for a couple days prior. find people in your classes that you have in mais than one class and that's usually easy friendship. hope this helps ^^

Getting friends - cadastrar-se something! I don't know if you're in high school or college, but joining or starting a club is a great way to meet people. Otherwise, just be friendly to those around you and you'll eventually find someone you like!

at like your self...pick some nice people to hang out with and try not to provoke any bullys if they start to pick on you just ignor them and walk away don't give them chanse or anythink that they can rip on you for.

Well this might sound weird. But you shouldn't make friends fast. I get you want to make friends cause school without them would suck, but you can't rush it. Your first dia talk to people just small talk, and honestly if saying the weather is nice is the best you can come up with say it. It sounds stupid but what you should do is talk but keep it simple and while doing do look for people which have common interest with you, no point in just making aleatório friends if you have nothing common. Be a people watcher for awhile scope things out. That way the seguinte time you walk up to someone you can talk about something you both like rather than the weather.
Learning techniques? thats hard. I honestly suck at paying attention on school I have CDD (cronic doodling disorder) so I'm always doing that but I've found that because I'm doodling I am paying attention mais than I would be if I was just sitting there. So I suggest finding something to keep your hands occupied like actually taking notes might help. Or find an interesting detail in something your teacher said and latch on to the hope that they might say something else about it later that may help you pay attention. Example in history class my teacher stands and talks.....and talks.....and talks I like the guy but that's boring. Now he was talking about presidents but he said something about one president having secret meetings with the Russians which interested me cause I like Russians and secret meeting so I paid attention for awhile hoping he'd say something else on the topic. Of course he never did and I had to ask him about it after class but I still said attention!
Sorry I rambled a bit.....I hope this helps.

It's natural to be nervous about going back to school, so it's nothing to stress about.
As for making friends, perhaps you should get to know who some of your friends currently also hang out with, and if you don't know them, get to know them via your friend. Joining clubes and taking different classes possibly out your comfort zone would be a good change of pace and might earn you friends, but I only recommend it if you feel okay with doing that.
As for learning effectively, the first thing that needs to be learned is listening. No doubt you know how to do it, however, you have to work past pseudo listening (or faking to listen) and engage in attentive listening. You don't have to do it all the time, just when your teacher is going over something important, such as a review for a test or a new lesson. Asking perguntas when you're confused won't make you look dumb, and who knows, maybe there's someone else that's also confused but too scared to ask for help. Highlight what you're struggling with and study that. Balance your schedule so you know what you can get done and what can wait.
That's all the help I can give you really.

Don't worry about it so much! You'll be fine! On the first dia of school, just be yourself. If someone approaches you that you could see being friends with, smile and talk to them. Make eye contact and appear confident and happy, but not standoffish or prissy. If no one approaches you, go up to someone, smile, say hi and start a conversation. Try to start a conversation with one new person everyday for one or two weeks and soon enough, you'll have some friends! To learn effectively, just pay attention in class. Try not to talk to your new friends a lot and even keep notes. Try not to get distracted. Ask perguntas in class and do your homework. When you have a test, study. Don't blow it off because you think you know everything, or because someone invites you over. Just make sure not to overwork yourself. Take breaks every once in a while! Good luck!

okay first, make sure you don't over-do it. don't spend 5 hours doing your hair up and putting on all the make-up you own, and don't wear anything fancy. go looking like what you normally look like. if people see that you look like you're about to go to prom, they will know you're trying too hard. first impressions are EVERYTHING, so don't mess it up like that. also, just try talking to the people sitting seguinte to you. if you're called on, maybe say something funny and witty if you can come up with something. people amor someone funny, so that will automatically get you liked. you're already going to be talked about because you're "the new kid" so you should use this to your advantage por giving people something good to talk about you for. also, don't be too shy and don't be mean. overall, try your best not to get lost and HAVE FUN! that's what counts :]

The first step is to develop a healthy mental image of meeting new people. Some of us see meeting new people as a scary event. We are concerned about making a good impression, whether the other person will like us, how to keep the conversation going, and so on.
