Should i get my schedule changed or should i just deal with it? ?

Question

me and my 4 other friends (one of them being my boyfriend) started 7th grade today.

i only have 2 classes with them. the rest of my classes, i'm friendless. and if things couldn't get any worse, i don't have lunch with them.

in my school, there are two lunch periods, 5th and 6th. i have 6th. my friends have 5th. all of the kids with 6th period lunch usually have classes with the rest of the kids with 6th period lunch, and the same goes with the 5th period kids.

today i came home, holding back tears, and my mom offered to call the school and see if i could get a schedule change. so if i were to switch lunch periods, odds are i would have a few more classes with my friends.

the problem is, i don't want people (or the school) to think that i'm a little baby who can't handle not being with her friends so her mommy has to call the school and change it.

but at lunch, i have no one to sit with! all of the other kids either don't like me or have friends of there own and are really different than me, and i wouldn't really fit into the conversation.

what should i do?

change my schedule or just get a life and deal with it?

please help me. i'm really depressed because of this, and i need help making up my mind.

Answer 1

I would keep it for a little bit and if you absolutely can't stand it then I would suggest changing your schedule. I don't know the size of your school but you can meet more people and have more friends, not telling you to ditch your old ones but you shouldn't be shy to make new ones. I'm a junior now and during the first two years of high school I didn't pay attention or study and just messed around with friends and stuff. I regret doing that now because I hurt my chances of playing college soccer so I have to work extremely hard this year to raise my gpa up. You may be different though so just stick with it first and if you definitely can't stand it, try changing your schedule but you're still in 7th grade and it's not as if you will not see your friends outside of school. Good Luck

I think it would be a great learning experience for you to stay with the schedule given you. When you are out of school and probably in college to you're going too be faced similar with problems. And, you'll have to suck it up and deal with it then. You'll feel more confident when it happens since you've already been there done that. Also what a great chance to meet new interesting people.  Ones you would have been to busy to get to know if you were hanging out with your group. Go for it! It is scary, but you seem to ready to handle it. Good  luck. Mary, Queen Of Flirts

Answer 4

in my opinion, you should change your schedule soon. the sooner, the better. while it is posible that you'll meet new people from the other classes and make new friends, you'll have a much more enjoyable experience if you just switch into the same classes as your friends. seriously. i'd switch if i were you.

Answer 5

i think u should call your school to change your schedule if u want to be with your friends. when i was in high school i had 3 classes with my friend and 1 with me by myself so i made some new friends in that class. try to make friends with someone that is by them self and talk to them.  

Answer 6

I think you should definitely change your schedule because it's good if you can be with your friends more. It's very understandable, I would be the same, and I'm sure other people would in your situation. It would make school much better, and it would avoid days where you come home nearly in tears.  

Answer 7

You are lucky, I just started 8th grade and I have no clases with my best friends and quit whining about it. I meet them before school, no biggie, quit holding on to your old friends and make some new ones as well. THere is nothing wrong to stay friends with your old ones but you need to move on and meet new people. Stand up by yourself for once. You still sound like a little girl from elementary, grow up!

Answer 8

i would totally have my mom call in. not being able to have even lunch with my friends? that's pure torture.

i hope everything works out (:

Answer 9

I would jsut deal with it. It's not such a bad thing! You would think that someone had died. Honestly don't worry about it. This way you can make new friends.  

Answer 10

If your that miserable, go ahead and change them. People, even if they do find out, are gonna forget about after a while, and then you'll be happy and with your friends.  

Answer 11

Just Deal with it. You have 5 more years of school chances are you won't get in the same periods with your friends every year. Just make some new friends. I felt the same way in 6th grade. I ended up making a bunch of new friends.

Answer 12

ask a close friend what SHE thinks, or, this is a good time to meet new friends!

Answer 13

Deal with it. You will have to deal with situations like that for the rest of your life. When you go to high school...you can't change classes just to be with your friends. Or college, there is a chance you wont have any friends there. Or even way later when you get a real job for the 1st time you will have to deal with people you haven't ever met before.

Personally I think this will just help you learn to cope with situations like this in the future.  

Answer 14

I would ge the schedule changed. who care what other ppl think? do u wanna go through school miserably? you friend might even get closer and farther apart from you. its up to u but i would get the change...

Answer 15

I think you should just deal with it. I know this is the last thing you want to hear, but you really should be focusing on  your school work. It's more important than being with your friends and your boyfriend. You always have weekends, breaks, and after school to hang out with everyone.  Trust me, it's better if you have no one to talk to in class. Not only will you accomplish more, but you become dependent on yourself and not your friends. And when it comes to the whole lunch thing, don't worry. It's just the beginning of the year. Just be really friendly and nice and you'll have friends in no time!

Answer 16

I had a really hard time last year at school. But toughing it out helped me grow as a person and meet new people. I think you should just deal with it. You may do better in school if you don't have your friends in your class anyway. I have only had one year in school that I've had friends in my class and that was in elementary school. Tough it out and things will get better. Lunch is tough, but just sit somewhere and let the other people do the talking. Be nice and sweet and you may end up making a new friend. Plus, you can still hang out with your friends after school. I don't know about you, but are lunch is only a half an hour so we don't have a lot of time to talk. And how much talking can you do during class?

Answer 17

call to change your classes yourself
