Emotions
When kids are at a new school, they start to have different kinds of emotions. Many will feel nervous, scared, or excited about school. Although those who are coming back as seniors may be happy they're in their final year and can't wait to see their friends again, most juniors or new kids are likely to be uptight or anxious.
It's perfectly alright to feel anxious on the first day of school. Getting back to the school routine and adjusting to new amounts of homework takes some getting used to after a long break. You can try thinking back to some previous "first days"you had. Everything probably settled down pretty quickly once you got settled.
Meeting new people or getting back with classmates can feel overwhelming, especially if you're the shy or reserved type. If too many people in a group makes you anxious, try saying hello to one or two new people a day — the kid at the desk next to yours in your classroom is a good way to start. Or sit with new people in the canteen.
If you still feel uncomfortable after a couple of days, talk to the school counselor, a favorite teacher, or someone you trust with your feelings about what you can do. But give yourself time — most problems to school adjustment are not permanent.
