How to Handle Being the New Kid at School

Being the new kid at school can be a terrible experience!It might seem like everybody else knows exactly how to act. But remember you aren't alone. Actually,everybody is nervous on their first day and you can fit right in with the help of the following tips.

Plan ahead the night before. Lay out your first day outfit (全套服装),pack a lunch,and make sure you have all your school supplies ready to go. Planning ahead can help you get a good night's sleep and feel less nervous about your first day.

Make sure your clothes are cleaned and pressed and that you've showered,and brushed your teeth. If you're hoping to attract friends with similar interests,try wearing a shirt with your favourite show,musician,or sports team on it.

Do your best to stay calm and positive. It's normal to feel nervous or anxious when you're the new kid at school. If you feel nervous,start by taking some deep breaths. You can listen to music that makes you feel calm or happy. Try imagining a good first day in your mind instead of keeping thinking about things that could go wrong.

Don't come in on the first day with your head hanging down,your shoulders lowered,and your eyes on the floor. Walk with your head held up,your back straight,and a bright expression on your face. Make eye contact with other people,and smile if they look at you or speak to you.

A. Use your body language to show confidence. 

B. Introduce yourself to your teachers and classmates. 

C. Choose clothes that make you feel great. 

D. This can be an easy way to start a talk and break the ice a little. 

E. You should keep talking and let people know that you are friendly. 

F. Remember that everyone is the new kid at some point and that it's not a big deal.

G. You'll feel less worried if everything is ready before you wake up for your first day.

Huang Yang is a native（本地人）of Zibo city in Shandong Province who works outside his hometown. He recently returned home for a visit and wanted to have some barbecue（烧烤）. But he failed to find seats in four different restaurants. 

"A barbecue restaurant owner told me to come back on Monday, so as to leave the weekends to out—of—town visitors. Another restaurant owner told me that they had run out of meat. I've been eating barbecue for over 20 years and this is the first time I've heard something like that,"Huang said.

Thanks to social media recommendations, Zibo barbecue has become popular overnight. The small city was crowded with visitors on weekends for a taste of the mouth—watering dishes. Most visitors are young people, who share online their experience of traveling to Zibo to experience the city's barbecue culture, drawing even more visitors.

Behind Zibo's sudden fame（名声）are the efforts and services of the local government. To promote Zibo—style barbecue, Zibo has provided two dozen "special barbecue trains," where local officials would serve tourists themselves. Zibo's tourism officials have been promoting the city's food and attractions and sending gifts to tourists on the barbecue—themed trains.

At the city's train station, volunteers have been working at train stations to offer help. Buses are ready to take visitors from train stations straight to barbecue restaurants.

Another key to the success, according to Peng Han, director of the Center for Strategic Studies at the Ctrip Research Institute, is that before Zibo became popular on the internet, the city had developed mature（成熟的）tourism products and service standards. For example, the barbecue—themed train services, bus services, barbecue map, the youth hostels that offer discounts for college students and the strict requirements for local tourism businesses were not achieved overnight, Peng noted. 

Although Zibo is still enjoying the great fame, the local government has begun to make longer—term plans. 

As the home of the Shandong businessmen and having origins（源头）in the Silk Road, Zibo will work to develop its historical and cultural resources into cultural brands, noted Wang Shenghua, a senior tourism official in Zibo. 

Teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep per night. However, in adolescence (青春期) changes to the body's sleep cycle make it difficult for teens to fall asleep early. Many cannot fall asleep until 10:30 p. m. or even later and most of them will feel sleepy if they have to get up too early.

Scientists recommend that both middle and high schools begin no earlier than 8:30 a. m. Later school start times support the natural needs of teenagers and increase their sleeping time. 

Here are some other benefits of later school start times:

More time for a healthy breakfast

When running late in the mornings, students are likely to go without breakfast. With an empty stomach, one finds it difficult to focus (集中) in class. When they are always in a hurry, students may form unhealthy eating habits. 

With extra time before going to school, students can eat a well—balanced breakfast and focus more on learning. 

Fewer behavioral (行为的) problems

Teens experience mood changes as a common result of this special period of life. Less sleep may cause worries, stress and unhappiness. 

When they get enough sleep, students are calm and peaceful and their moods do not change suddenly. They're less likely to feel worried, unhappy or get angry. For parents, children with more sleep are easier to live with.

Better performance (表现) in study

Sleep loss hurts attention, memory and brain development. Students with less sleep have difficulty paying attention in class and are likely to have lower grades. Students with enough sleep can be more energetic during the day and more willing to learn. They are also less likely to fall asleep in class and more able to understand what they learn. 

In conclusion, starting school later helps students get a better night's sleep. It improves their chances of eating, behaving and performing better.

The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides,I don't know what your middle school was like,but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It's best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.

I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!

When I started high school I was really nervous too,especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn't really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard,but things will become easier before you know it.

I'm not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you'll get used to it. Don't be afraid of anyone;upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you're afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it's really not bad at all. Don't worry.

I was born and grew up in a small seaside town, In my childhood, I often played on the beach with my elder sister, chasing (追逐) the waves and enjoying the seaside scenery (风景). 

One sunny summer afternoon, my sister and I were playing on a big rock quite a distance (距离) from the beach. We were so happy that we didn't notice the water rising. When we decided to go back, we were shocked to find that the rock had almost been covered by water and there was no way back to the shore. Meanwhile, the wind blew harder and harder. We got into a panic (惊慌)，waving and shouting crazily towards the shore. Suddenly, i slipped (滑) and fell into the sea. My sister reached out her hand to catch hold of me. However, she could not stay still, and slid off the rock into the sea, too. 

"Help! Help!" We cried. I could feel my body tingling (酸麻) as I tried to breathe for air. I attempted to swim back to the rock, but the water was too deep and the waves were too strong. What made things worse was that the rough water made it almost impossible for anyone to hear our cries. Tears mixed with the water as I struggled in the sea. My sister, although using all her strength, wasn't able to pull me in. Instead, she was being pushed apart from me by the big waves. The two of us, scared to death, kept crying.

Luckily, two boys playing on the beach happened to see us. They quickly found a stick nearby and approached us cautiously (小心地)，hand in hand. They tried to pull us ashore with the stick (木棍). But the stick was too short for us to reach. Worse still, the wind was getting so strong that the two boys were rocked from side to side, unable to stand steadily. Eventually, they had no choice but to go back to the shore to look for other people to help us.
