Really nervous about high school?

Question

I'm starting 9th grade and I'm so nervous! I'm starting a new school in the city and it's really big. I want to get noticed, but I also want to get liked, but I hate the preps at school. I'm South African and people never get that because I'm a white girl! Preps are normally mean to me and I don't get why, I'm normal, I'm not shy, I just don't talk to them because they don't talk to me and I don't want to talk to them. One of my old best friends was a prep and she's mean to be and tell me how dorky I am. What do I do? My friends tell me to lose my South African accent, but I like it, but like I said, no one get why I'm white and from Cape Town! I'm sort of a movie fanatic, is it okay to put pictures of Titanic in my locker, or is that weird? How do I stop being so nervous?

Answer 1

Just be your self...

Answer 2

don't be scared

Answer 3

oh boo hoo!

poor you!

just be yourself, it really isn't that hard!

so what if your not a prep, do you honestly want to wear argyle and polos everyday?

well then just get over yourself okay?

and everything will fall into place!

Answer 4

It is okay to put pictures of Titanic in your locker. I am going to be a senior this year and I can tell you nervousness doesn't get any better. After the first week or so of school, you will get used to the surroundings and become more comfortable. I am at the top of the school this year and I am still nervous. People will like you for who you are and tell them, you grew up in South Africa so you cannot lose the accent. Best of luck to you in your high school career.

Answer 5

Just go...It's not bad, trust me
