Everyone where I moved was stuck up, I didn't have nearly as many friends as I did at my other school & I honestly thought it was the end of the world. You just have to realize that switching schools won't really solve everything. Yes, it'll make you happier to be with your friends. But the truth is, half of those friends won't even talk to you after high school. You might as well stick with the school you are at. You're at that school to get an education, not to socialize with all your friends - save your social life for after school & on the weekends. If you want to be happy, all you need to do is change your attitude & outlook. Be optimistic about meeting some new people & make some kind of effort. Not everyone at your school is stuck up & hates you. I promise you there are atleast a few people who are willing to be your friend. Moping around & dragging yourself to school with an ugly frown isn't going to get you anywhere. Suck it up, get good grades & make something of yourself there. After high school, you'll realize none of it even mattered & how dumb it was to get so depressed about something so little. [ LadyH's advice column | Ask LadyH A Question ]

There were 40 kids in my whole grade. Everyone knew everyone's business. I had friends, but I still hated it. Everyone was stuck up and I just was not happy. (much like your situation). My parents saw how much I hated going there, and they gave me the option of switching schools before my freshman year in high school. It would be a huge change, 40 kids in a grade to 400. The whole summer I was freaking out. I ended up making the switch. Best decision I have made so far. I am so much happier in the bigger school. There are much more options for friends and boys. Plus, they offered a lot more classes, which is better preparing me for college. I'm so glad I made the choice I did.
So if I were you, I'd make the switch. It's not worth it to be unhappy everyday. School is hard enough as it is.
