I went to a new highschool this year and in the begining, it was wonderful. I made great friends, was doing well and was elected class preseident. Well, now it's march and things have fallen apart. I said some things i shouldn't have to my friends, without realizing it. I was just informed that most of my class thinks i'm a prep who thiniks she's better than everyone else. I don't know what to do.
for starters i'm not going to say anything mean about anyone because i know i deserver to be mean to right now. but i don't know how to apologize. could you give me some tips to get back on my feet?

So really try to be sincere and if they reply to your apology with a mean remark, dont get mad. Just act calm and try to talk it over. To prove you dont think that you are better than everyone else, try complimenting people a lot. Does Shelly have a new hairdo? Tell her it looks great (even if it doesnt) Did Bob fail his math test? Tell him he'll do better next time. Try to be as nice as you can, and the kids will learn to accept you once again.

I was new this year too, and because my dad owns a car dealership everyone here automatically thought that I was spoiled and stuck up. And that was before they got to know me...it is a small town and people seemed to know who I was before I stepped foot through the door. Thing is I am shy when you first meet me so I did give that impression. But after they got to know me that impression changed. I work for my spending money and drive a normal teen car. let them see the real you. Be nice to everybody and wear sweats every once in a while ;). Admit you made a mistake and you were wrong, but move on. Don't judge...ect ect. I hope this helped and if you need anymore ideas please let me know! Good Luck!

Akiko-san answered Friday March 24 2006, 9:11 am: Hello,
That's a problem. Well, I would suggest apolijizing to your CLOSEST friends first. (They'll prabably listen to you more.) I'll be more bearable when you have people to back you up. If you don't manage to get your friends back, try to find new friend, stay strong, or find a new school I guess. But I don't think that'll happen. (One of your friend has to have some compassion.)
Just say, "I'm so sorry for _____________. Will you forgive me?" or something to that effect. If you're really sorry, don't let the way of HOW to apolojize get in your way- just apolojize.
