What is the best way to avoid immature people and drama in high school?

Question

I am 16 and have been home schooled for three years. I do not like a lot of people, and I have anxiety attacks because I am afraid of them. This year, I have decided to face my fears and go back to a regular school. I am the argumentative type of person but at the same time I do not like drama and immaturity. I would rather be around mature people that respect others regardless of their flaws, which is NOT what is in this high school. A lot of people in the high school is the "I do not like you so I will get all up in your face and tell you like it is" type of people. The principals are horrible and will suspend the ones that are innocent and reward those that are not there to learn. I want to go to school to learn and not to feel threatened. What is the best way to avoid immature people and drama in high school? Even if it means not having any friends, I am willing to do it. Any advice or tips? Thanks.

Ps. Any other school is not an option. This is the only school I can afford to go to.

Answer 1

In school as well as in life choose your friends carefully./

Answer 2

Well I mean just observe everyone around you and if you feel like a person is immature just by how they act stay away from them. Don't look at them, talk to them or about them. Do the same with every other immature clique or person... Just try to make friends with more mature, high school is a little too big for people to just pick on one specific person so as long as you don't make yourself 'out there' you should be fine! Good luck!

Answer 4

How do you know so much about this school if you've never been to it?

Anyways, you're really exaggerating. High school is really not that bad. People won't get up in your face unless you deserve it, and the principal won't punish you if you've done nothing wrong.

If you really want to stay away from immature people, make friends with nerds. They're awesome.
