Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Well the only thing I can say is try to make friends u can be yourself around. Don't ever try to change just cause its something new.

Well for one some schools are the same no matter if they are private or public cause people are people, but there is a lot of people, at least the high school i go to has so many people..its crazy..but just be prepared for a big change, some private school are all like really smart kids, i think never been to one so, but anyways deffinetly dont make your self out to be better than everyone get to know some people and make some friends and one thing dont forget to have fun:) Good luck!!!

I went to a private school for all of my life before going to a public high school. I'm a senior now. I was really shy at first because I didn't know anyone, but eventually I made a ton of friends. Start conversations with people in your classes... i.e. I really like your shirt... or something along those lines. Be careful of rude upperclassmen. Don't trust people too easily, but don't be rigid either. Mostly, just be yourself, and you'll be fine. Public school is so much better than private school.

I had a friend like you too, except she was home-schooled from k-3 then went to a private school with a max of 9 kids in each class. And now she is in a public school. My greatest advice would be to get involved in your school, if your athletic join the volleyball, track, or cross country team. If youre out-going try drama or theater arts. My friend is doing absolutely fine, she is captain of the girls basketball team and made the volleyball team. And has a lead role in theater arts. Good luck and tell me how it works out.

I went to a large public university after going to a small private jh/high school. Just be prepared for a LOT of people. It's a bit of a culture shock because you're not used to so many people. Also don't act like you still have your close-knit community in which you know everyone. You have to treat everyone like someone brand new, even if you have a class or two with them. Just take time to get to know people, don't just figure you know them because you have class together.
