American highschools ?

Question

hi

so i come from england and might be moving to LA soon

so just wanna know what high school is like..

ive seen it in movies, with the cliques...

in my school i suppose im one of the "popular" crowd, but im also clever.

theres not really cliques, i hang around with a big group of guys (some who are "jocks" as there into PE), girls who are good in class, bad in class, clever, dumb etc...

so to get to the point, i dont know where i will fit in ??

i get the feeling the "populars" will dislike me, because im british and the new kids almost always a nerd

thanksx

Answer 2

It depends where in LA. If it is in my neighborhood, you will most definitely be welcomed here.

Answer 3

Well, it depends on where you go to high school. in my school there are definitely popular kids but since it is a big school, they don't all hang out with each other. you have all different kinds of people like jocks, cheerleaders, emos, punk, goth, 'normal' people, nerds, lonely people, but just because you belong to one particular group doesn't mean you are or aren't popular. I have also always wondered if there are schools like in the movie where there is ONE popular group and i guess it might be more true in small towns where there are few kids to a school. But i don't think that would be the case in L.A. or other big cities. as for you being british, people will absolutely love your accent and will want to know everything of where you are from. although, there might be some not so nice girls who might get jealous or hate you because of the attention you might get. Just be yourself and be open to new things and you'll be fine. usually when you're new you hang out with different people until you find a group of friends that fits you. from my experience, it's usually the more popular crowd that talks to you first. or maybe that was just with me. Hope i helped

i can help answer any other questions you may have

Answer 5

American high schools are just like any other high school. You have different cliques.

Cliques:

- jocks

- cheerleaders

- haters

- losers

- populars

- normal people

- geeks

- stuck up/conceited people

- s***s/male whores

- band geeks

- nerds

Social Pyramind:

1. Popular (jocks and outgoing people)

2. Normal People (nothing special, but aren't major losers)

3. Losers (Ugly, dorky, friendless)

Tips:

- Be Nice to your counselor (if you have a class you don't like they could change it)

-Be nice to your teacher (they can help you ALOT)

-Don't take shxt from no one/ Don't let people run over you.

-Be real

-Go to the football games and have fun.

-Don't care what no one thinks

-Go to Homecoming and other dances

-Talk to people (if they're stuck up and think they're better than you, leave them alone)

-Don't kiss up

-Look good

Personally I love British accents and so does other Americans. I'm sure people will love you. :)

Answer 6

You'll probably be hit-or-miss as Americans are often wary of foreigners. Be warned, American public education has been waning since forced integration.
