Help? Should I transfer from a private all-girls school to a public school my sophomore year??!!!!????????????

Question

this really sucks. i'm 14 and about to go into high school. i'm going to be a freshman..my mom was trying to get me into this really good public school where you have to be smart to get in..but they kept rejecting me because the school is full.

so i'm going to this catholic all-girls school. a lot of drama goes on there..but the main problem is that it costs a lot of money to go there. and my mom says we don't really have enough money. and i really wanted to go to a public school so i could spend all of my moms money on new clothes lol.

and it's a pretty small school. i already know 3 girls that are going there and honestly 2/3 of them really annoy me. and i kind of want to change before freshman year starts.

anyway, i'm also super shy. so do you think i should transfer to the public school my sophomore year? i'm thinking it's going to suck to be the "new girl." there will probably be other new people but idk. and i don't know if i'll like it. because i'm going to get really used to the all-girls school and what if i really like it or something...but my mom can't pay for it.

what do you think? will it be hard to transfer my sophomore year? because everyone is already going to establish who's friends with who and i'm super shy.

Answer 1

High school is usually a LITTLE better than middle school because there is a larger pool of kids.  You will have the opportunity to make new different friends.  Private school is not necessarily better than public.  If you keep applying to the "really good school," maybe that will be an option if you don't care for the other.  And no matter what happens, keep reminding yourself that high school is definitely not meant to be the highlight of your life.

Shy is how you feel.  What's more important is how you act.  Every time we feel angry, we don't scream and stomp our feet (well, sometimes.)  So just go ahead and feel shy, but act friendly--smile and say hello anyway.  You'd be surprised to find out how insecure everyone else was, if you could see inside.  Best of luck to you.

TRANSFER! You're seriously missing out by going to an all girls Catholic school!

Answer 4

Go to the public school that is in your district. By law, they have to let you enroll because that's your district.
