Making+Friends

There are core groups that you'll have all your classes with (except maths). This is different from your home group. There are only year sevens in your core group and there will be about 25 girls. It seems really hard to make friends at first because you can't really remember anyone's name and you're still trying to find your way around the school, but after a few weeks you'll know everyone's name and you'll start feeling really comfortable around them. You can just go up to someone and ask to sit with them, even if they seem confident, they're still probably just as nervous and shy as you. Even the girls who aren't in your close circle of friends can still be your friends and you can still talk to them and hang around them sometimes. There are all sorts of different personalities in the girls in your core group, you may not end up being friends with the people you were hanging out with at the start of the year, and your friendships may change throughout the year but you can always have a few girls that will be your friends in year seven and all the way through your secondary journey. To tell the truth, teachers aren't incredibly helpful in helping you make friends, so you're going to have to be confident and just ask to hang out with some people. You'll know what we're meaning at the end of the year, you'll look back and realize how easy it was to make friends.
