Please readit, i really need help. first day school, can you help me?

Question

i have arrived the US like for months ago, and I'm starting school soon. I'm sooo nervous because everything is soo different here. back in my school i had an uniform and no one ever considered wearing make up to school, i mean , it was just weird. it was just a girls school so it was just a waste of time. but ive seen that girls ware make up to school here. but I'm really not used to it and it doesn't go with my personality and i don't feel comfortable. what should i do? does EVERYONE wear? am i gonna be like different from everyone else?

im going to eleventh.

and why is everyone so worried about what they should wear to the first day of school? is it really so important?

Answer 1

American teenagers do tend to care way to much about what they are wearing everyday. Some do not but a lot of us do. I don't wear make-up or care too much about what others think of how i dress. For some reason many teenagers think that they will be a loser or unpopular if they do not come to school in the best clothes. For a lot of american high schools, it is more like a fashion show rather than a learning environment. People tend to care more about what is on their bodies rather than what is in their brains. Don't try to wear make up and worry about what you are wearing in order to fit in. You will come to see that not everyone is like that. But do not worry, don't change yourself for others. Also do not worry about how different things are here, by the time you leave you may grow to love it here. I know plenty of foreign students who did when they came to my school.

Answer 2

people here are really judging so people try to make a good first immersion. don't make a big deal out of it if u don't want to put make up on then don't and if u are don't overdue it. my advice watch mean girls it exaggerates on some parts a lot but it good high school info

Answer 3

well every school is diffrent but not all girls where make up and for me the only reason i care about wht i where is because i'm just really conserned with ppl likeing me idk why but i just am so just be ur self is the best advice i have u'll find friends.   good luck i hope u have a great school year. :)

Answer 4

America are used to foreigners (I am one), just dress nicely (nothing too shabby) You don't want to look like a ****, just something nice,clean, and cute.

Answer 5

Not everyone wears make up. i personally do not wear make up and many of my friends don't. Just be yourself, don't fake it. Just dress nice and comfortably, everyone else does! =D Yes, you might be different, but everyone should be!

Answer 6

a SMILE is the best accessory!! ( so brush your teeth and carry some chapstik)

Answer 7

just be yourself

wear clothes that match your personality

and dont go with what everybody else looks like or is doing

if you dont like makeup its simple dont wear it!

you will find people that will appreciate you as you so you dont need 2 change a thing

and people think the first day is the day to show off how "gorgeous" they are, but really it doesnt matter, people try so hard for no reason.  

Answer 8

the ppl on here discussing what they're wearing are bored and spoiled, just look nice like the other user said, make-up isn't necessary, not sure where abroad you from but your probabley prettier than these pasty american girls and don't need make-up, good luck and try not to be so nervous, it shows, if you act confident you can become confident, and if this is a public school, don't be surprised if the lesson's seem to be at a slower pace than your used to because of educational system is a little lacking these lack couple decades
