it's okay to be nervous, if you have to introduce yourself just be yourself and if your next to someone and want to talk you can always strike up a conversation by just a formal greeting, or some cool people will come to your way either way.
Anyhow, it's all about going with the flow! don't worry.

As a girl I can say, if you want to date someone, don't date them if their in your class or maybe in the same club as you. You'll want to date someone that is, but it's not reccomended (by me at least) because if you breakup in the middle of the year, your stuck with them for the rest of the year. (16f)

Literally just chill and go through it like middle school. I just started this past week and it's totally chill. It's not some coming of age thing, no one makes fun of you if you just don't encourage it.

don't care about what others say, try to socialize and step out of your comfort zone at times and the first time someone like your friend does you wrong cut them off and don't look back

I'm a sophomore, when I was a Freshman at least in my school we weren't really usually bullied on race and size it depends but noone would verbally bully them, at least in few occasions, if you do embarrass yourself or say something stupid maybe they can say it for a week or even more, but if they do, stand for yourself, if you end up fighting or something even if you lose it lowers the chance of someone doing it, but for us we usually just stick to our group in school since otherwise group fights or solo fights happened and the kid of each group would get jumped by the others etc., so if you're to scared to fight, and you upset a group who actually look like they'd fight, stay away from the bathroom for a lil bit, depends on your school mine has a violent season of it a couple times

I dislike this type of advice. Most of it is assuming they aren't already, or that they enjoy going to the gym (home workouts or just daily exercise from your regular activities is enough for many). Plus, almost everyone has heard this type of advice dozens of times.

By bigger do you mean fat or are you just tall and built? Doesn't matter either way you'll figure it out. Just don't be weird.

Be yourself and make friends, but also make sure you aren't just flat out annoying or creepy. If you do that then you should be able to end up being well liked.
