Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I don't think kids will make fun of you. I mean if they're 13 and making fun of you for just being new to the school? That's a little immature there. But, just be confident and friendly. At my school, whenever there's new kids whenever they start talking to kids right away and being friendly towards them, they'll be asked to sit at lunch with a group of people, and before they know it, they're all friends. The only thing different with public schools is that some kids can probably be a little meaner [ i'm not saying in all schools it's just theres a few mean ones in mine ] and of course they don't dress in uniforms and all. But I'm sure you'll have no problem fitting in and all. :] I hope I helped. <3

Yes, that stuff could happen, but if you think about, the more its gonna happen. im going into 8th grade too!! Just be confident!! and did you know, (and i hear this and see it EVERYWHERE!!) confidence is the biggest turn-on to anybody, whether they know it or not. Just remember: CONFIDENT--NOT COCKY!!
peace & love, prep21

changing schools isn't anything to worry about! you don't get picked on for being new, or that you used to be homeschooled. Just be yourself, and don't try too hard to fit in, i'm sure everything will be fine, there is nothing to worry about!

i don't think you will have any trouble fitting in. sometimes being new is a good thing. i would say just be yourself and be confident :]

it's a big change, especially because you're going from a private school to a public school, but you'll get used to it quick. just be friendly and nice to everyone, and of course you will make friends. just don't do anything you think they'll make fun of you for, but still be yourself. and don't worry, everyone gets made fun of a little, even the popular kids, so even if you get made fun of, you'll have your friends there for you hun

Hey,
Switching schools is always hard to do.
Amazingly, I've done it 8 times and am about to do it again this year. Don't sweat it. People won't make fun of you as long as you don't give them anything to make fun of (i.e. don't wear 80's clothes or anything like that). Just be friendly, nice, and especially be yourself because first impressions are key and you don't want anyone to think you are something that you're not.
Good luck!
Private school and public school aren't much different if you really think about the whole friend thing.

It's a pretty big change. A few of the differences: public schools are louder and less "protected"- there are still rules, but they're not as strictly enforced. People most likely won't make fun of you- if they do, ignore them. Just be friendly and don't make any comments about the school ("my old school was better) and you should be fine. Another thing you need to know is that there will probably be a lot more illegal stuff, drugs, drinking, etc. As a general rule, if you see someone so out of it that they could put someone else's life in danger or they pass out, tell someone. Otherwise, let them be stupid. (There won't be a whole lot at your grade level but in high school, there's a lot.)

New schools. I'm experienced at that. I switched schools 5 times when I was little. Then I moved to another country when I could speak NO ENGLISH. So that was hard. And Then I moved here to the USA and could speak little enligsh and I felt left out.
When you go to the new school, have fun and enjoy it.
The fact that you went to a catholic school may cause some talk among the people but ignore them. Walk around the school with the people you know and meet new people!
Be bold and confident and don't hold back. Don't be shy and hold back. If people won't come up to you, you go up to them and introduce yourself.
Steer away from the bad crowds. If people bug, annoy, spread rumors about you, just tell people calmly that it's not true and no more. If you do say something back, they'll use that to twist it into some wicked form to say something nasty about you [again].
Some people [weirdly] think ALL catholic/private school girls are nasty sluts etc etc. Don't give into that and hold up your self image =]
I hope you havefun and enjoy 8th grade =]

i go to a private/catholic school. but, i know people who have made the switch. well, basically, it is different. it's a lot different. in a private school you are protected a lot and in a public school, it's different. there are so many more people and you are not as protected through the school. most people always claim to skip class and stuff, while in a private school, you couldn't do that because after they take attendance, if you're not there, they will call the office, and the office will all your parents. i could never get away with that. the whole school would find out lol. also, it's more like college because you are expected to be more of an individual and take care of yourself there. i mean, we are still children by law, which basically means there are laws to protect us like they still have to take care of us whether we are in a public or a private school. but, they treat you more like an adult and expect you to find things, buildings, and if you can't they'll probably expect you to ask for help. i don't think that they will make fun of you because you are new. it's that way in private schools because it's small and everyone knows eachother. but there are more people in public schools, and they might not even notice, well they will notice YOU but people studentd don't just go around looking for the new people for no reason. its totally ok. just be cool with everybody. be nice. and you'll be more than ok.
hope i helped
*muaz*
