Question

i start high school in the fall and im going to my first cathlic/private school ever. i will know 4 people and im scared because i hear that the girls their can be really bitchy. but i also hear that it depends on who u hang out with. i know this sounds bad i want to be popular. like in 6th grade i was a loser, and 7th and 8th i wasnt really a loser but i wasnt popular. i make friends pretty easily but im leaving my best friends and i worried i really wont fit in. i dont have to worry about clothes cause of the uniform but i have to worry about jewlary,bags,my hair, and how i wear my make-up to like fit in. im also worried about guys because none of the guys in middle school liked me as more than just a friend.i need some advice! please! i dont want to tell my mom or dad cause they will make a huge deal about it and make it worse. so please can you give me advice!

and i know to just be myself.

thank you sooo much for advice!!!

Answer 1

I felt the same as you when I started high school. Things went great for me though. I made several new friends.

By the end of the year, they had started ignoring me and 4 years later, I still don't know why. After that, I didn't try to make friends. Most people have always made fun of me because I'm a quiet person. But I didn't let it bother me.

I know a lot of people want to be popular, but I was never one of them. I think popular people are stuck up and rude. I don't really have any advice, but I hope you make a lot of new friends and have a good time! Good luck!

Answer 2

i started a school where i didn't know anyone at all.

for the first day of school wear your hair straight and down. Then wear a normal amount of make-up or even help your mom let you. Then go out shopping for a new purse. Just buy things you think are cute. No biggie.

You're right just be yourself!   There is nothing saying you have to fit in anywhere; if you have to be someone or something you're not, and you have to change the way you feel about things, wrong & right, is there that worth losing to fit in with a certain group?I don't think so, God made you just the way you are, and there is nothing wrong with you,GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES! And your 4 people you know going into this school, if they are in a group that is popular, is ok that you need to change you to fit into that circle?Or do you think you'd be more popular if :YOU DID NOT CHANGE YOU PERIOD!And was who you are, people may take notice of you alot quicker if you looked like you, acted like you,WAS YOU! Instead of looking like everybody else, you would stand out in a crowd saying(without talking) here I am, just me nobody else,not wanting to be anyone else but me!Just trust in yourself, believe in yourself,and trust God, and believe in God, He will never leave your side through any of this!You'll glow in God's love, you might be surprised maybe these kids will want to be in your group! You will radiate God's love,just remember when its seems unbearable for you, please just remember this:NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN  TO ME TODAY THAT  GOD AND I CAN NOT HANDLE! You are one of His children, He won't let nothing happen to you. Just think positive!Go and hold your head up high and show them, what you're made of!

Answer 4

I felt the same as you when I started High School. I've gone to private schools all my life because we move a lot. I change schools often, so I go through this once every two years. I'm going into grade 11 now and I can tell you, High School is just the same as middle school. The only difference is the classes.

As for the people at private schools, they're fine. Just the same as everyone else. Theres this huge misconception that they may be bitchier because their parents have the money to send them to private schools. It's not true, they may be on financial aid, or just well-off. For fashion (make-up, bags) study Teen Vogue like it's your bible (no offense if your Christian, I don't know), keep up to date with trends, and go with what makes you feel comfortable. One thing I learned is to never clash your clothes with you, meaning always wear something that suits you. If you never wear skirts, don't wear one suddenly to school. Even if people don't know you don't wear them, you will still look awkward cause you aren't comfy. Relax about boys, all girls have their time. Some girls have boyfriends early, and some don't have any until college. It just happens when it happens. Don't go out with a boy just to have a boyfriend. And for popularity, have great shoes, always smell good, and  be someone everyone wants to have at a party. Pick someone you would like to be like and then when in doubt, think "What would _____ do?" The answer just comes.

Good luck! Just have fun and don't forget about the actual school part of it all!
