I just have to tell somebody...?

Question

I know I'm wasting 5 points but I have to tell somebody this and my friends and family already know...but I'm going to be in High School not this year but next...and I'm really scared. Well here's the story (if you want to listen...you don't have to lol) I have been at the same school since I was 5 and it's a Catholic School. But the thing is I've been with the same people since Kindergarten I have made really super strong friendships here. This is my last year....and I'm choosing to go to a different high school. If I want to I could go to this high school where some of my class is going or I can go to this one where the other half is going. I want to go to neither. I'm ready for change. I'm going to a very liberal high school because the one I'm at now is well....there just all homophobic and I'm not. I would love to meet different people but the high schools my class is going to...there all very conservative with their big SUV's and stuff. But I'm so sad I feel like crying.

Answer 1

aww that really sucks!

:(

i'm going to highschool..hmm, in 2 months~

i'm going to be seperated by almost alll of my friends because of where i live! but i LOVE change. i'm just going to make new friends. but i'm going to tryyy to keep in touch with my friends from previous years. good luck to both of us?!

Answer 2

i know exactly how you feel. i told my parent it was ok for us to move. and when i moved i made friends...more friends than i ever made. i even found the guy of my dreams ;) good luck

Answer 3

its alright,

i was scared when i was first going into a new school too

but it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be!

i made some friends the first few days,

and now i have some of the best friends in the whole world!

once you get through the first week or two of school,

everything will start falling into place and you'll be comfortable with where you're at.

Answer 4

dont cry tmmorow you will get another 5 points

Answer 5

great to see a fellow catholic on here(: may the lord bless you

Answer 6

yeah.

when i switched schools for middle school, it made me feel really alone, like i was leaving behind a part of me i could never get back.

it gets better, though. on the first day of school i met a few new people, and it got to hurt less. then i made friends at my new school, i felt even better. and now i feel just like i did at my old school, only different with new friends.

and if this new high school is more liberal, and you're a liberal person, then a lot of the people will have some of the same views and opinions, maybe the same interests and likes and dislikes as you.

good luck!

Answer 7

hi

Answer 8

Well, I once heard a statement that has stuck with me for a long time: "You will miss out on a lot of great opportunities if you let fear your life." And, I ALWAYS try to follow this advice. NEVER stop yourself from doing something out of fear. Move past it and do it (even if you are scared)....Just as you made friends at your old school, you will make friends (and later on, strong friendships) with your new classmates. Go for it - you will be SO GLAD you did.

Answer 9

Hey, if you just had to tell someone, i read all of it. Good luck. =),

it will be hard. my sister changed to a school where she only knew like 1 from her last one, and it was hard. but you will eventually make friends, and  when u have to leave, you will miss it

Answer 10

im confused...but it's good you let it out

i may have to go to an extra-sucky catholic high school in a year. im not that happy either

Answer 11

so what u waiting for cry out  loud if u feel like it

Answer 12

And your question is...?

Answer 13

Oh poor girl, I could never stand being in a cathlic school. But then to have to coose to leave all your friends. that would suk. I hope you meet some good friends in yout freshman year.

I had always gone to this one school district, and in the middle of the year, I switched states, since I decided to live with my dad. I met some friends, but they turned on me as soon as they thought I was L*****n. I'm not, but i do have a tendancy to space out, so natuarally it probably looked odd in a locker room. I had NEVER been in a locker room before 2.

It sucked really bad. Some of the people there were nice.

I even found some bi girls, to hang out with.

Moral of the story homo-phobes are everywhere, but not in everybody.

I hope you find more and better friends. I wont lie, it's hard, you don't know anybody, people will be mean and tell you to go the wrong place so you are late, and have to explain to the teacher, who is already angry. Not the est thing in the world. But some people are really nice, and change lets you find what other people are like. I really do hope you have fun.

I could never stand being in a cathlic school.

Plus IDK where I'm going to go to school at, I just know it's nowhere I have been yet so even more change. Hope I helped!! :)

Answer 14

I went to a new high school this year that's very open to g**s. It has clubs for them and everything. I met so many new people and best friends in this school, even boyfriends. I'd go for the change. You might be shocked.

Answer 15

its pretty normal to feel that way. for a long time i went to a small montasouri school where i had the same 10 kids in my class since i was a preschooler (so you can imagine we were all pretty close) however, after 5th grade my parents got divorsed and i moved with my mom to a city about an hour away and began public school.  this was a drastic change for me and it took me a while to adjust and mak friends, but i did.

the important thing to remember is there are so many kids in the same boat as you (aka. starting high school not having come from the same middle school) that you'd be surprised. as korny as it is just be yourself.

Answer 16

what you are going through is completely normal

it's a VERY scary thing

leaving your comfort zone and going somewhere else

my cousin had this problem 2 years ago and she was leaving high school and going to college

it's something we all face in different ways at different ages/stages

i hope it helps you to know that you are not the only one going through this kind of stuff

i am sure you are not the only one feeling this way

honestly, it's not going to be as scary as you imagined it

i mean there are meanies everywhere right? but that means there are also nice people and people who you will have something in common with right?

chin up

you will do the right thing

good luck

Answer 17

i hate catholic schools...no effence

Answer 18

well sweet go you.

do what you want

Answer 19

It really depends what matters to you more; your morals or your friends. You don't like how they treat homosexuals, and thats something that you stand for. But if that opinion isn't as strong as your friendships, its not worth going to a new school.

Answer 20

There, there...

you'll be alright...

want a tissue?

Answer 21

You'll probably be fine. EVeryone changes once they get in highschool anyways.

Besides, it's not like you'll never see the other kids again, you can still hang-out with them, your not leaving them for forever.

Get involoved in a club, sport, or class that you enjoy. Band, Choir, clubs and sports are great ways to make new friends.

Answer 22

well....thanks for the 2 points

Answer 23

I left my friends this year, I'm going to a private high school and no one else from my old school is going there. Sometimes it's sort of sad but like they say "Surround yourself with what you want to be".

Answer 24

aww bless dnt worry it will b fine

Answer 25

Change is good! you'll still be able to keep in touch with your old friends, but now you can make new ones as well. Don't worry about the change at all, my best friend came to our high school freshman year knowing no one and now she probably has more friends at our high school than i do and I've been in the district all my life. You will definitely love having more people that share your liberal beliefs,

Answer 26

Your question sounds like my life story =D

I too went to a Catholic School for most of my schooling years and where I went all of the people were very, very conservative and homophobic as well

(guess it comes with the sign-up sheet)

anyways, I got the h**l out when it came time for HS because I wanted change as well, I was getting sick of having all the drama and what not that comes with having different views than a bunch of conservatives with Hummers.

I now go to a public HS and have never been happier.

Whatever you decide, don't go back!

Good Luck!

Oh, and jumping out of that crowd, yes, it's sad at first but believe me once you leave you will SEE what you've been missing all those years!

And if your situation is as much like mine, you won't have to wear a uniform anymore!

=D

Have a nice day!

Answer 27

yeah, i have. except i'm a homophobic and i went to a school with ALL liberals. I was actually the only republican there..oddly. Never had any disagreements with anyone there.

But yeah, its good for a change sometimes.

Answer 28

Uhhh... good luck.

{27 days till my b-day}

Answer 29

Answer 30

Every one has that issue when they change jobs, transfer schools, ect

you will make friends and have fun

and you will still have your old friends that you can hang out with on weekends and after school. your changing towns, not movin to africa

Answer 31

Wow. I have been in a similar experience. Two years ago, my family moved to a different state, after i had been living in the same state for eleven years. It was my home. I was heart broken and it took forever for me to get better. But after a while, you start to get to know people, and they open up your eyes, and your mind. They make you realize that life goes on. Which made me see that it wasn't the end of the world, and that i would always have friends. I know it is a cheesy line, but time DOES heal the deepest wounds. I know it's hard, and it will be tough, but just give it time, and you will see how things will turn around for the best. For now, just enjoy the time you have at your school, share the best memories, and live it up. When the time comes to leave, be sad about it, then get back up. But it's no use worrying about it now, leave the tears for next summer...
