Question Posted Saturday September 9 2006, 11:17 pm
I am in 10th grade, and last year i switched into Private school for High school...i'd gone to public school my whole life. It's an all girls private school...which, i know, sucks...but its a reallllly good school. I still see all of my friends from my old school...just not during the week. In fact i hang out with them, more than the people from my school. The thing is that recently, when i am hanging out with my [public school] friends, or at the football games i have been reallly regretting leaving. I love my private school and it is a really good school, but i cant help but wish that i was back in public schools with all of my friends...i can be really hyper and really fun with all of my public school friends and i am pretty quiet in my private school...b/c i dont really know them as well.
I've never changed schools, but some of my friends have, and from what I can tell, it's really difficult to make the transition. But I think you should put a lot of effort into making new friends at your school. Try to be friendly. You can start small, like by complimenting a girl on her hair or asking a classmate how her weekend was. Some girls might be mean, but if you just keep trying to find a friend, you'll eventually discover someone really cool. If you go back to public school, you may miss out on the chance to make really good new friends :)
