I'm so scared, high school tomorrow!?

Question

So, it's about 11:30 pm, and tomorrow is my first day ever of high school. First day is only freshmen, so that's a relief! I have a question, though. Okay, first to give you a bit of back ground info. I'm 15, and I'm average in looks. I have brown hair, and last year I worked hard to be considered something I now despise, 'emo'. I also still hate the term, preppy, and the people associated with it. For tomorrow, I bought a great outfit (or so I thought at the time). It's blue and black, goes around past my lower back, and it's almost baby dollish. I like it, though. I thought I could either make it look less...preppy. Or that no one would care. I'm wearing it with torn jeans, and matching blue converse. I have some weird fear, that when I get there, people will think I'm trying to be preppy, or it's absolutely ugly. I don't know what to do...My mother said it looks great, but my brother (18) told me I look 'retarded', and that I look fat, and ugly...Okay, I know he's mostly trying to get me angry, but I can't help wondering what people will think. I guess, I'm just asking everyone how to get over it...

Answer 1

Well, first off, high school is no different then any other schooling, you'll be bored of it within two weeks, so try not to be to scared. Anyways, don't worry about what you're wearing, don't try to put your self into those kind of categories like "emo" or "preppy," she by what you think looks good and wear it.

No one else's opinion matters but your own. Let people talk. Everyone else is trying to blend in with everyone else and you're being yourself. You're better than them. And if anyone asks you or accuses you of trying to be a prep just say, "No, I'm being me."

Besides, the only people who are going to talk about the way you dress are the s****. preps anyways, and people who are insecure about themselves.

Answer 2

high school sucks and nobody cares what you wear

Answer 3

honestly, nobody cares what you wear. especially in high school....everybody is so different in their personalities and looks you'll find your own group to blend in with. but really you'll be fine. high schools not like what people make it out to be in movies ( like mean girls) i just graduated this year and trust me people arent as mean as they are in movies. i would tell you not to be nervous, but i know you will be, its human nature :) good luck you'll be fine. best thing to do is be sociable and make new friends

Answer 4

Really, you're just getting yourself all worried over something that, I understand, is fairly important to you...but actually not that important at all.

Just be who you are.  If others don't like it, well then it's their issue.

Take a stand for yourself!

Answer 5

If you picked it out yourself and you like it and the way it looks like on you, then who cares what people will classify you as. Your brother says mean things because he's your brother (I do the same thing to my sister). Just remember, all the other kids are in the same boat, they're all gonna be too worried about finding their classes and meeting up with old friends than to notice what you look like the first day anyway. Enjoy your time as a kid and don't worry about what other people think. Be an individual, set your own trends, walk to your own music, people will respect that.

Answer 6

Slow down, take a deep breath and just be yourself and just feel cool. That is what high school is all about dude, being yourself and not stressing out. You need to enjoy your day rather then thinking about the way you look 24/7, I know it is hard, it is hard for me. Good luck for your high school career and don't slack or else you will regret it like I probably will when I graduate next year.

Answer 7

It's uneasy to overcome with these situations. But mind not. :) Don't be paranoid too much. It can break you inner beauty. Never mind if what looks your "outside." Yes it affects us, either. But the reason you went to school is to study. :) Hope that helps!

Answer 8

Hi,

Just be yourself.  There's nothing more beautiful than somebody who's just happy being themselves!  Your brother is just being a dork, like all big brothers can be.  Listen to your mom on this one.  I'm sure the outfit is fine.  The people that care what you're wearing don't matter, and the people that matter don't care.  You'll look great!  I'll be sending good thoughts your way.  :)
