Im starting public school. Any advice?

Question

I've been in private school my entire life, and I've decided to switch (im going into 7th grade) school starts tomorrow and i need some advice. (im popular so bullies wont be a problem)

Answer 1

Follow the rules, turn in your work, listen when the teacher talks, Can't imagine you'll have any problems.

Answer 2

Bullies won’t be a problem? Don’t take that for granted.

Remember you are "posh kid" from private school.

Rule number 1: don't talk about your old school too much. Phrases like " in my old school we had.... in my old school everything was much better" will not go down a treat. Sure, your old school was better, but no one wants to hear it.

Play it cool for the first few days. Don't make friends too quick. There are different gangs and you need to figure out the lie of the land before you make allegiances. Plus nobody likes someone who is needy.

Stand up for yourself. Take a few digs if needs be. People will respect that even if you lose the fight.

Best of luck!  

Answer 3

lol you were popular before you might not be when you go to your new school. If you keep an attitude like that then people will want to bully you more.

Answer 4

I remember going from a private to a public school, very different. you'll be fine though, I like public school way better but the food is worse. Just be yourself and hang with your friends

Answer 5

just be nice and be who you are dont try and impress people dont brag then ur'll find yor true friends in bout  day time trust me dont worry peopl will help u out

Answer 6

be friends with everyone that is nice don't make fun. stop bullies from bulling other people. this way you will have a lot of friends and you maybe popular

Answer 7

if u say ur popular then u wont have a problem  

Answer 8

your not popular anymore. you are at the bottom of the food chain in high school. bullies don't really exist that much in high school. just don't be a ***** and people will like you. just be normal and not too hyper or annoying and youll be fine

Answer 9

Be yourself and don't get caught up in school drama and focus on excelling in your studies. It's not about being popular and cool, it's about taking advantage of an opportunity and making the best of it.

Answer 10

ive gone to both. theres no big difference its just that there is no school uniform.. you might not be popular at the new school though.. you have to meet new people all over again

Answer 11

well;...since you are moving to a new school..being popular is N0 L0NGER

but the good news is that you should fit right in w/ the popular kids;...UNiF0RMS at school make the school a little better..so you can't really tell whose popular & who's not; cause when i was in 7th grade, everyone @ my middle shcool new each other; S0 iTS ALL GRAVY...!!!!!!

PUBliC SKOoL. IS A BIIIIGG!! CHANGE

l0l; & WE HAVE CSI= IN=D00R SUSPENSION;

l0l;

BUT iTS ALL G00D YU JUST HAVE TO MAKE THE BEST 0F iT!

BUT ITS 100% dIfferent; byt YU will LOVE IT!

Answer 12

If it's a new school, you are no longer popular and will have to start all over meeting people. You can't be popular if no one knows you. Since it's 7th grade middle school it's a transition for everyone because elementary school is now over. It shouldn't be that different than private school socially. You'll be fine.  

Answer 13

ha ya might be popular but in a public skool evrione is judged and its not exactly a walk in the park compared to privet skool

Answer 14

don't worry about it!! just be yourself and you'll make a lot of new friends!  just think... you have a new reputation now (:
