I think that it was tricky making freinds but it helped having other people from my old school and the seating plans.

If you don’t know anyone from your old school, it may be hard to find someone you get along with.

2025-09-30 08:34:01 UTC

I think it might be because you might not know people.

2025-09-30 08:34:02 UTC

You have a shorter break and because it's that you might be scared to talk to them

2025-09-30 08:35:45 UTC

There is so many people you can’t always find your friends

2025-09-30 08:36:31 UTC

It’s quite hard because it’s a new school and really scary

2025-09-30 08:37:57 UTC

If you don't have anyone in your form from your old school, it can be hard for you to talk to people because you don't have that familiar face with you

2025-09-30 08:38:50 UTC

Not siting next to someone you might get along with .

2025-09-30 08:41:14 UTC

Different people have different feelings about the transition from Primary to Highschool

2025-09-30 08:41:27 UTC

Seating plans

grahamclinton1 — 2025-09-30 08:41:57 UTC

Its really hard to find people like you and the setting plans make it hard to talk to your friends

2025-09-30 08:42:55 UTC

It’s been quite hard to find other people to be friends with and I’ve been sitting with people from my old school.

2025-09-30 08:43:08 UTC

You should talk to your form tutor or the student manager if you have any struggles or stress

grahamclinton1 — 2025-09-30 08:43:32 UTC

you don't know that many people

2025-09-30 08:44:15 UTC

You spend the entire first year with your form group, so you can make friends in your form in Year 7

2025-09-30 08:44:45 UTC

Just talk…

2025-09-30 09:33:25 UTC

Not taking to them and being nervous 😬.

2025-09-30 09:33:50 UTC

I have had a good time on making friends who also like the stuff I like they can make me happy and I enjoy school when I see them.

2025-09-30 09:34:38 UTC

For other people, it could be harder based on your reputation or how many friends you already have. It is also harder if you aren't very social.

2025-09-30 09:34:59 UTC

I think for me it is harder to make friends because when I tried making friends it was not to hard because not many people knew eachother but if people knew people in my form it would be harder to talk to them because they would be talking to their friends.

2025-09-30 09:35:29 UTC

Because they might not want to talk to you or you might not be able to talk to them because they could be with friends from primary. And you might not have anything to talk to you about .

2025-09-30 09:35:30 UTC

It’s not that hard tbh but maybe for some people it may be hard to find people with the same personality

2025-09-30 09:35:31 UTC

That people already have friends from primary and they just want to stay with them not me

2025-09-30 09:35:37 UTC

They might not want to speak to you

2025-09-30 09:35:41 UTC

It is a big school and it’s difficult to find people around and my old friends kept telling me to go away which left me with no one to play with. But now I’m playing with other people.

2025-09-30 09:35:46 UTC

It is quite easy but I don’t know what people think of me or if I can come to them 😁

2025-09-30 09:37:08 UTC

They might not want to start a conversation with you or be busy with their other friends.

2025-10-14 08:32:06 UTC

Not everyone is the nicest in school so I find it hard to trust people

2025-10-14 08:34:14 UTC

Nothing I like talking and knowing people

2025-10-14 08:35:01 UTC

Some people are not nice so they don’t like talking

2025-10-14 08:39:14 UTC

It’s hard to make friends at first in WHS because it’s so big and you just feel small with bigger students and teachers staring down at you giving homework upon homework

2025-10-14 09:27:16 UTC

I don't want to start conversations witch makes it harder to make friends

-Roman cook

2025-10-14 09:28:54 UTC

Because there are lots of people so it’s a lot more nerve racking

2025-10-14 09:29:10 UTC

You might not know anyone when coming to the school and you might of came from a very small school and it could be more of a big change

2025-10-14 09:29:36 UTC

People spreading rumors about you or someone witch might make people not like you

-Roman cook

2025-10-14 09:30:10 UTC

some people don’t want to talk to other people

2025-10-14 09:30:37 UTC

idk, in my heart I feel like that I can do it but it is hard when you do it physically - Sam fong

2025-10-14 09:30:44 UTC

Some people aren't particularly nice so you don't know to trust them or not

2025-10-14 09:31:06 UTC

Lots of my friends went to the same primary school so they have loads of inside jokes and things like that so it’s really awkward trying to join in

2025-10-14 09:31:44 UTC

It’s hard to start a conversation with someone

2025-10-14 09:31:57 UTC

People

2025-10-14 09:32:05 UTC

People bullying you can bring you down without friends but then you might not have the courage to make friends

-Roman cook

2025-10-14 09:32:23 UTC

Well IDK but it’s just hard if you’re really doing it

2025-10-14 09:32:38 UTC

I don’t really get along with the one person in my form who’s from my primary school
