hey, i'm a sophomore in high school and i attend an all girls school. I've been at this school since freshman year and it's a really great school. It's great academically and the activities are great, but their's one problem.. and that's the social aspect. I've been thinking about transferring because I really don't fit in at school at all. I am in honors classes and i take an AP class and i've been in class with basically the same girls and i don't fit in with them at all. They are so different from me and i've given them a chance and it doesn't work. I've talked to a lot of people that aren't in my classes that i'm in theatre with, but it isn't working for me. THeirs another school in my area thats a boy/girl school that i coudl transfer to. i don't know if maybe that would be a better option, i could start over and make new freinds .. i just don't know if its worth risking my good academic standings at my current school and the awesome extracurriculars. does anybody have any advice?? i seriously dont know what to do anymore i've been crying all week. it really sucks and it just wears on me not having any friends at school. please please please help... and let me know what you would do in my situations. thanks. any advice is appreciated-- all advice will be rated a 5.

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
If you think that acedemic is more important than social, then I would stay at your school now. You're in your sophmore year now. All you have to do is make it through Jouiner, and Senior year and you're out!
If you believe that social is more important than acedemic, then transfer. If you do transfer, you could still get into good classes, and I'm sure the school would be fine, and you'd make new and good friends.
I think that you should transfer, but it is up to you! =] GOOD LUCK

okay well i think that maybe you should stay in your school and do the right classes just hang out with other people...you should try and meet people that arent in your classes and find some new friends...but if you havent really gotten to know the people in your classes get to know them better and you never know ther could be someone that has a lot in common with you!!
i hope i helped and good luck

Personally I think you should transfer, if I were you I definitely would. I know exactly how you feel, I just moved schools & didn't have many friends at the beginning, but got some in the end. =) But I know how it feels to not have friends and it does suck. I think if you have a chance to be able to make more friends & be open to a new enviorment then you should. Being stuck for two years in an all girls school, with no friends would suck. Even though you're doing great academically & stuff, you might even at this new school. But, I would definitely transfer - no doubt. You should atleast try it for your sophmore year & see how things go. If it sucks then maybe you can transfer back to the all girls' school, but I don't think that'll be an option because you'd love going to a mixed school =) Good luck with that and I hope everything goes great for you!

wow. this one is hard. you really have to think,:
which is more important to you? friends or academic success? heres a list of pros and cons:
Stay at your current school:
Pros- you'll get into a great college, you'll learn to be more independent, you'll be distracted with awesome extracurriculars,
Cons- you'll be depressed and friendless, when you go to college it wont seem right
Transfer:
Pros-you'll have awesome friends who will always be there for you, you'll get into a decent college (if you're doing so well at you're current school i bet you you could do just as well at the other one), you'll have decent extracurriculars which will seem awesome cuz you have your friends.
Cons-You won't do as well academically or extracurricularly.
If it were up to me I would transfer but it's your choice so...
If you stay at your current school....try to do more things outside of school where you can make friends who you can relate to better like a community theatre, or a soccer league outside of school, or volunteer for a good cause. You'll be helping out and it's a good social event.
If you transfer...remember that friends are important but don't get too distracted. Try to stay on top of your school work. Hope I helped!

I think that you should transfer. You are obviously not happy and you should do what makes you happy. The best thing is to be in an environment where you can be comfortable. I think that whatever classes you are taking will transfer and they will get you into some classes that are the same or similar. Also in a boy/girl school there are all kinds of different people so it will be easier finding someone that is just like you.

well, i know what its like to be at an all girls school and yeah it can be challenging to find a group. if you really feel that theres no point in trying anymore, transfer tot he other school after the theater (like whatever show you are in) is over or after then next quarter. hang in there, sometimes the most unexpected people can become your best friends. <3

Oooh, an all girls' school! I could never survive. Grades are very important, but a social life really helps your mental health. If you become depressed from having no friends, then it could affect your grades greatly. Try hard to meet people in your classes, and if you can't find anyone you're friendly with, then I do recomend transfering to a coed school. Public schools are really fun.

Well you should first start over and try to make new friends. If that doesnt work and it ends up no luck at all, you should transfer because you social life is very inportant and you need to socialize wayy more because that will me inportant on your job and college and plus u will be great at work if u transfer.
<< hope i helped

I really admire your dedication to your education. I think that you should consider the other school. But here is what I would do before you get the transfer in the works: check out the classes, make sure your AP classes transfer, electives, etc. The academic stuff. Find out college stuff, like how many go to what schools, the guidance counselor stuff, the important stuff you'll really need junior and senior year. Second, check out the scene. How bad would it be if you thought the kids were snobs, or jerks? try and see if you can get in touch with anyone from there- maybe if you can audit a class or a day there and see what its like. Then, if all of that seems cool, go for it. High School is hard and stressful enough, you should have friends to share the good times with.
Good luck and keep me posted.

If everyone was the same life would be boring. Of course they are different from you as you are them. Maybe they need to give you a chance! You should never transfer b/c of comebody else b/c one day you may become something more then they will become and you did it for you! Dont take school for granted and just keep up the good work-friends are friends but your life is what you will survive on. I hope i could help

I totally can relate to your issue. I attend a Science and Technology school far away from my house and it's brand new and has great academics and extracurriculars as well. I too am not fitting in as well as I'd like and many times, including today, I just want to quit and go to my zoned school. The reason I don't, and the reason you shouldn't, it remember, you pay now or you pay later. This school you are attending now will get you into a much better college, resulting in a much better job. Also, you don't know for sure you'd even fit in at the other school either. To make some new friends, I would suggest joining something outside of school. Something like a sports team or like a youth group would be good. Other kids with your interests will be there and chances are, they'll be more your taste. I just wouldn't pass up the education you're recieving now, because before too long, high school is gonna be over and no one seems to realize that the future holds promise, even if you have to tough it out for awhile in school. Again, if friendships for a year or two matter more to you than the rest of your life, go ahead and transfer, but if you pay now, the REST of your life will benefit. Good luck and hope this helps :)
