I'm moving schools this summer. I went to visit my new school, and very few ppl were nice to me. Everyone else knows that i just came from a privite school, so they hate me and treat me like garbage. I no that all privite school students are different, and i know that i am! I really don't care what other ppl think, but i really want to make friends at my new school. How can i show them that i'm a normal person and not a snobby rich student they think i am? I really want to make friends their, but it's so hard when they don't know the real me. How can i show them?

Mackenzie answered Tuesday June 14 2005, 1:27 pm: I know this seems typical, but just be fRiendly. Speak out in class - this is a GREAT way to get noticed. Say hello to fellow classmates if you see them in the hallway. Join some clubs also.. that's a good way to meet people; then Right off the bat you know you have something in common with them. And always smile.. smiles definitely get noticed! And wheneveR you see someone sitting alone at lunch oR in the moRning befoRe school, just walk Right up to them and be like, "Hey! How's it goin'?", oR if you have them in a class just say.. "Hey! ARen't you in my [whateveR class]" I know it seems difficult and easieR said than done, but if you'Re bold and talkative I'm shoRe you'll do just fine!! :) [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]

hightopgrl answered Monday June 13 2005, 2:20 pm: Dear school problems,
OMG! I just moved from a private school to a public and it's not different but they think it is. Wear normal clothes to school don't act like it's a fashion shoot or they'll prove themselves right! Act like a sweet girl get into community school work, show them your not some stuck up rich kid! to make a friend be a friend. So get into after school activitys to meet people who have things in common with you. You'll make plenty of friends just Shine!
lilly_pads79 answered Monday June 13 2005, 1:51 pm: Well first If your new school dosen't have a dress code then wear what you feel comfy in. Show off the real you be yourself and in time you will be rewarded with friends! Hope for the best!
lilaquidas18 answered Monday June 13 2005, 1:39 pm: Just when you start your new school hang out with your new friends that you have and act yourself and sooner or later they will see the real you and decide if they like it or not. Just remember dont let people judge you.Hope I helped..Rate me [ lilaquidas18's advice column | Ask lilaquidas18 A Question ]
dominatrixchick answered Monday June 13 2005, 12:54 pm: Just be yourself. If they don't like you for that then you don't need friends like that. Frankly if they are being mean to you, theyre the snobs..Just show them that you do the same things they do..You'll make friends. There is always someone who is curious about the new kid so they will talk to you.JUst remember to be yourself [ dominatrixchick's advice column | Ask dominatrixchick A Question ]
*HelpGirl7892* answered Monday June 13 2005, 12:36 pm: its hard changing schools, escpecially from private school,but your going to have to get past it.Those feww people that were nice to you are the ones who you should be friends with. They didn't care what kind of school you were from so they didn't judge you. They probably have other friends so the will introduce you to them and that will create more friends and so on. So there really isn't much you can do for now about what the other kids think, you just have to be the person you really are by showing to them through friends that you aren't what they think you are!
Xsweetpeax26 answered Monday June 13 2005, 12:03 pm: at first it may be difficult, but wehn youre in class im sure you will have to be partnered up and such. just be genuwine with all of them. maybe after you get talking to some people invite them to the mall. invite them to work on homework together if you understand something that someone else doesnt. just show them youre amazing. alot of people are very judgmental, so you have to show and prove them wrong. good luck hun.
