I love high school. I never went to middle school. We just go from Elementary school straight to HS. I knew a few people that were going to the same school but the people I hang out with now, weren't from my elementary school. The kids in our grade are great for the most part. Everyone talks to everyone and no one picks on each other. We still have cliques but it's not uncommon to find a person from one group hanging out with a person from another group.

Don't worry.. it gets easier. Just remember, everyone else is probably nervous and feeling shy. Things will start to feel more comfortable soon.
