I like my school and the people in it and stuff, but im always, like depressed because my Friends who are the people who I hang out with the most dont seem to likke me anymore. I was wondering if I should go to a private school for freshman year next year. I mean everyone else will be new, too its just im afraid to start over again. And afraid ill miss something in my towns' highschool - i know ill miss my friends but they were like, "Oh," they werent sad at ALL..they laughed at me. I dont know what to do, should i go to a new high school ( a private one bc i cant move) ??? or just stay where i am and be pretty sad. People say things are better with friends in high school, is that true. I want your H0NEST T0 G0D Opinion.

Does your school only go up to 8th grade, and the majority of the kids all move up to the same public high school for grades 9 through 12? If so, I think it would be good to just go there, if thats what you originally planned on doing. Most of the time, you end up meeting new people in high school and you'll lose touch with some of your old friends from middle school. That happened to me. In my district, we have 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school (and one continuation school). After elementary school, you either go to one middle school or the other. You end up making new friends from other elementary schools. Then when High school comes along, you'll see other people from the other middle school, whom you never met before (because they also went to a different elementary school), and then people whom you're reunited with, from your old elementary school, and then theres the kids you've known since elementary school, because you've gone to the same school as them all your life. If this is in any way how your district works, maybe you can go to the high school you were originally planning on going to... most likely there will be a lot of new faces and new people who will have the same interests as you, and you'll make new friends in different classes, etc. Plus you still have some familiar faces around you, so its not like you're totally starting over... you're just moving on, which a lot of times is good. I've done that a lot--I wasn't happy with the people I hung out with, so I met new people and so on. I finally found a good group of kids who like me for me, and who have the same interests as me. Good luck with everything, and if you have any other questions, feel free to leave on in my box.
