And me and my best friend were both going to leave our private school and go the same public shcool , but at the last minute --7 or 8 days. her mom changed her mind and now shes not goin there any more with me so im really scared! Can you give me any advice to help out or anything? ive never really had problems fitting in but im not sure if i will. Thanx a bunch!!

But n e way i went 2 a provate Middle School and i missed alot of things. But i have a friend who went into a public HS with NO friends from her Private Middle School. Doing a lot of sports is a great way 2 make friends. Just be very outgoing and friendly, join a lot of clubs and you'll have friends in no time.

I know, cause i went to a new high school, and i made alot of friends just in the first two weeks. If your still a little worried, find someone that you have the most classes with and start up a conversation. I actually have 6/7 classes with someone! Always look at all your opportunites before you give up!!

Just be your self and you will have nothing to worry about. Oh and dont worry about making new freinds....when you first come to a school, thats easy!
