Most of you sound like complete social outcast who don't have much interaction with other human beings, just be your self and make new friends and focus on school work early (9th and 10th grade) so you don't have to fix your terribad GPA later.

Actually, making friends isnt hard for me.

Im usually friends with everyone <3

Just act normal, stay natural, and try to make friends over time.

just try not to get lost
but if you do just go find the front office or wander around for the rest of the period and see how it goes

and unless you're moving to a new school, the first day is the easiest the entire year

Ignore everyone else's advice for now, and listen to mine.  Your first priority should be getting acquainted with the school.  Go to all your classes, find your way around the place, get your schedule memorized, etc.  If you do that, you'll do fine.  Social interaction comes next.  After you've gotten comfortable, try to make some friends.  There are two important things to remember here:  1.  Be yourself.  2.  Don't try to make friends at lunch.  Why the second one?  Here's why:  At lunch, people prefer to eat with people they already know.  If you, the new kid, come up to a table and just sit down, there's a good chance everyone at that table is going to get up and leave.  Wait until you've made some friends, then sit with them.  Also, it's helpful to have some sort of interesting (but not annoying/irritating) quirk or physical feature.  For example, people practically worship me because of my glorious sideburns (if you don't have sideburns already, don't try to grow them, as you might hurt yourself), and they all think I'm cool because I'm a furry (which was the last reaction I expected, but I don't have a problem with it).  If you don't possess an interesting quirk or feature, then you are the only person in the world who doesn't.  Don't try to imitate quirky behavior, though, as that's always obvious, and gets very annoying very quickly.  Just be yourself.  I can't possibly emphasize that enough. BE YOURSELF GOD FLAPJACKS DAMNIT!

Okay, now did anyone else give you similar advice?  Good.  Take their advice as well.

Why?

I'm going into 10th grade here.

Don't worry about getting to your classes, you'll memorize a good route soon enough. You'll find some good friends, and dump the starfishs pretty quickly.

I get to take CAD (Computer-Assisted Design), so maybe that will translate into BL modeling skills?

The best way to learn to model is just get out there and do it.
