okay here's the deal : i'm from a girls sch , about 50 of us have been selected for this programme where we will combine with this all guys school and learn together and stuff . We will be going over to their school . the thing is , there are about 150 students in that boys school under this programme at my level .Even though we won't be going there until next year , this thought still freaks me out cos it's like there are going to be so many guys there , and they're all going to think i'm weird and stuff cos i wear glasses and am going to get braces soon . i heard these guys are pretty mean and they tease girls who aren't gorgeous and make fun of them. I am not that bad looking despite my glasses and stuff and am slim and long-legged .okay so the question is : how to fit in ? how to look better with glasses and braces ? just don't tell me something about being myself and not caring what others think cos everyone knows that thats pure bullshit .
Stand tall, smile, hold your head up high. Be smart, don't let anyone insult you, don't be afraid to speak your mind.
On dealing with guys: Guys are a strange breed. Understanding them is not something that comes easily. Outsmarting them, however, can be done with a little bit of skill and smoothness.
1) jokes. Guys love funny stuff.
2) interests. Most guys are into sports and video games. (it's a stereotype, and any guy worth your time will also have other interests, but it's a good starting point)
3) the ultimate secret: most guys don't give a fuck about how much effort you put into making your hair, makeup, outfit absolutely perfect. Most guys are more likely to go for the fresh-faced girl with natural beauty and confidence than the barbie-lookalike who giggles too much and tries too hard.
About glasses/braces. Yes, stereotypically, these two features spell awkwardness and geekdom, but that doesn't mean that just because you have them, you'll be labeled as a freak! Be smart about how you choose makeup, clothes, accessories. Use them to compliment your best features. (for example, wear a cute skirt and boots to show off your long legs)
If the rumors prove to be true, and these guys do try to make fun of you- don't let them! Either ignore them, or give a smartass retort. Tell them to shut the fuck up and leave you alone. Stick close to your girl friends and forget about those jerks. Out of 150 guys, not all of them can be that jerky. Look for the good ones, and make friends with them. Forget the jerks, and advise the rest of the girls to do the same. [ rainbowsend's advice column | Ask rainbowsend A Question ]

You never know until you meet them and if you go there with an attitude of " omg they are going to hate me and make fun of me" then you won't want to get to know them! Trust me.. not all the guys are going to be mean and some of them are going to want to get to know you! [ ilovemyconverses's advice column | Ask ilovemyconverses A Question ]
gakkuhideto answered Monday February 28 2005, 11:59 am: The guys aren't going to notice anything. Trust me, I go to a school with both girls and guys, and guys don't notice anything. Except maybe your breasts.
I think girls with glasses are super hot! They add to the face and help provide certain body illusions. I hate it when people complain about how nerdy they look. I wish there were more people in my school who didn't wear contacts.
Braces aren't so bad. But definately brush them everyday, like five times, and floss. Might I suggest a waterpick? It helps.
It's not bullshit, because I do it and it works. Act like you're hot, and you will be hot. That doesn't mean don't wear a nice outfit and maybe some earrings and lipgloss, but all that goes to waste if you're not confident. [ gakkuhideto's advice column | Ask gakkuhideto A Question ]
kait_1991 answered Monday February 28 2005, 11:24 am: ok. i see what you mean but if you get that the chance to be with a whole load of boys go for it. i go to a skl with boys and girls and i love it. yes you will prob the the odd pain in the course but the boys will probably just be as mean as any1 else if u put them in there place it should be no bother. if your worried about getting ure braces and because u av glasses mabey getting contacts wouldn't be a bad idea.

joolz answered Monday February 28 2005, 11:04 am: Hey i used to go to an all girls school and i know exactly what you mean. I used to think boys were all just real scary but then i moved to a mixed school and really their not that bad (some of course have to just be mean) as for glasses and braces as long as you wear some clothes that you feel good in(if non-uniform) or a real nice hair do or something,if you feel good about yourself it will show through in your body language!! GOOD LUCK I'm sure you'll be fine, Joolz [ joolz's advice column | Ask joolz A Question ]
