Im starting 8th grade????

Question

im starting 8th grade this yr...im actually suppose to be in 9th but the way my birthday is im going into 8th.......i go to a private school soo of coarse its full of snobey rich kids.....soooo u have any advice??

Answer 1

Just be nice and talk to them and once you get to know them they may not be that s****..

Answer 2

Go with an open mind..people who act that way are usually more insecure than you might think.  Get involved in activities that might interest you (ex: yearbook, dance, etc) and you will find other people with the same interests you have and be more likely to make a new friend.

Good luck!

Answer 3

just keep your cool.

don't try and act like them.

be yourself.

it'll get you farther than acting how they want you to act. :)

Answer 4

Answer 7

Yes, chat on line with my son who is old enough to be in 9th grade but started kindergarten when he was 6 because he had a summer birthday.  He just turned 14 in July.  His name is very close to yours, Taran.

Answer 8

Just act a little more mature than you did in 7th grade. The end.

Answer 9

Not all private schools are s****. rich kids. I go to one and if you make the right friends they are fine...everyone is nice. Just try not to pretend your someone your not. I tried something like that in grade 8 and it all caught up to me. In a private school gossip happens so dont spread anything or lie about your life. Goodluck:) Don't worry grade 8 is amazing

Answer 10

do better in school....DONT DO DRUGS?

Answer 11

focus on school and it will pay off later on. Just be yourself though i went into the 8th grade today and just put on my style clothes and no one said anything so just feel confident

Answer 12

not be shy , don't let some thing like what people say about you

get you down .

Answer 13

youd be suprise some of them might be nice :) find the good in people. im not rich and go to a public school but i can tell you that all you gotta do is  talk alot and to a lot of people. try to keep up on your grades too btw.

8th grade is  a lot of student's best year so make it happen ! :D

Answer 14

lucky. i would do anything to go to a private school! i love the school girl uniforms! haha.

Answer 15

It doesn't matter what kind of people there are. You'll change, its obvious, just don't give in to peer pressure. trust me, YOU WILL CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 16

It's pretty much the same as 6th and 7th....not really much advice to give on it.

Answer 17

yeah.

common sense.

do homework

stay away from trouble

study.  

Answer 18

The best advise i can give you is to just focuss on being your self, That will get you far. and for the rich kids well i am sure they all get up in the morning and put on their pants the same way you do! so they are no better than you, nor are they better than them.  

Answer 19

i think that's a stereotype. the private schools in my area are full of kids who smoke pot with the professors or are super religious.

and all you can do is be nice. i mean, it's not going to kill you. and i'm sure there is at least ONE person there who is not that way...

Answer 20

prentent yyou are a s****. rich kid and maybe they will like you

Answer 21

Don't be worried its only 8th grade it is probably the funnest grade so just enjoy it :)  

Answer 22

you just have to hang out with different people until u find the ones u feel the most comfortable around and like the most.

there will probs be fights, and all that, but by year 9 u will hopefully be settled into a group and everything will be good:)

just be confident, but after school do different classes to meet heaps of different people.

hope i helped=)

Answer 23

Aren't you a "Snobey Rich Kid?" Don't judge people before you know them, It's not right.

Answer 24

Be yourself. Focus on school. Enjoy every minute of it, it goes by soo fast.

Answer 25

1. be confident, if you walk into school being scared then the kids will walk all over you

2. dont be too quiet or too loud. you dont want the other kids to get a bad impression

3. wear something nice and look your best

4. dont lie and say that your one of them if your not. it will only get worse from there

5. enjoy 8th grade cause believe me it goes by REALLY fast. im a senior in highschool and i remember being in that same position.

;] hope i helped
