Going to a WHOLE new school..


Question Posted Wednesday August 11 2004, 5:22 pm

ok. well i live here in a town called fresno. fresno is a town of really down to earth, cool people. most people aren't really wealthy, which means theres hardly any stuck up snobby people etc.

well.. now im moving to the town next to fresno, called clovis. and clovis is a really nice town. home to people living in MILLION dollar homes. a lot of wealthy people living in that town. so.. theres definetly gonna be snobby rich b**tches there.. and i dont mix well with those kinds of people. meaning, i dont like them lol.

i dont totally have anything aginst them tho, thats just not the type of people i like to hang with or be around..

so of coarse. im going to the school there called buchanan. so like.. im really worried that im not going to make friends because i dont care for rich snobbs which is mainly what the school is made of.

WHAT DO I DO??? how do i make friends..

love, manda

I kind of went through the same thing. I went from going to a public school in a not-so-wealthy (but not dirt poor) town to a "fancy", overrated private school. I expected everyone at my new school to be rich and snobby, and a few people were. But there were also many down to earth, nice people there too. I can't guarantee that you'll be in the same situation, but look for people who like you for you and not for how much you're worth and you'll have some good friends. The people I decided to befriend never talk about money, and I personally have no idea how much they make and whether they really are one of the richest kids in the school or whether they're just like me. Keep in touch with your current friends though, you said it's the next town over, so even if you go to Buchanan and it IS made up of all snobby kids, you'll have your down-to-earth friends from Fresno to back you up. It's only the next town over so it's not like you'll never see them again. Good luck.

chaos answered Thursday August 12 2004, 10:21 am:
You are generalizing a group of people that might actually not be snobs. Give them a chance. Ask them about their hobbies, music, sports, or other interests. I am sure you will find someone you will like to hang out with among hundreds of people. Just be yourself and be friendly.

wow i live in fresno. and im amanda! i go to Clovis West.. but um i think that you should give ANYONE a chance especially when you dont even know anyone there. Just because those girls have lots of money does not mean they are what you think they are. but Good Luck!

to make friends: be yourself! talk to people in your classes..etc.. dont wait for people to come talk to you. go to them and say something!

Hi. hun it's okay that you dont like them but i'm sure not all richies arint snobs and everything. try to make a few friends...opick a few ppl in your class and find out how they are like and if they are snobs and forget them but try to find ppl that are more like your friends and talk to them and ask them about themselves and i dont kno..find things to say to them that if they act a certain way to it then maybe they are or not snobs. i sure do hope you find the right ppl there. Take Care..Hope I Helped! x3 SweetStar.

first of all; forget completely about them being wealthy; it's their parents that are rich.not them. not all of them are gonna be bitchy, probably most of them won't be. relax, and just act normally how you would.

well there might be kids in that school who feels the exact same way that you do. once you go to that school, just keep your head up and dont let those snobs get to you. youll make some good friends, itll all fall in place

kevin1986 answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 5:30 pm:
The thing to do here is just treat people the way you want to be treated. And if they don't like you,then I'm afraid that's their problem and youve done all you can do. Not everyone is an asshole. Just a lot of people.

Ronlina answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 5:27 pm:
I'm sure there will be at least <i> some</i> rich kids that are not, in fact snobs. Try giving people a chance and be who you are at your present school. If certain people act snobby to you first, then you know that they aren't going to be your buds. Just don't jump to judge anyone before you know them.
Good luck, in any case.
