This year i am in 8th grade and i go to a school that doesn't feed into the high school i am going to. The school i go to is more ghetto and has gangs and bad students, and minority students. I am a black. The high school I am going to is more high class and more white people, I'm scared either 1 everyone will not like me, or 2 everyone will be my friend because i am black, and back stab me behind my back. How can I get over this fear?
Don't worry about making no friends at all though. That just won't happen. There will be a lot of nice kids at the new school who will make really good friends. Being nervous about it is normal. You will do fine. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

well make sure that the students at your high school don't know that you're scared. most people WANT you to feel insecure, but if you keep your head up high and stand strong and pretend that you know what you're doing there.... then people will be nice to you and won't back stab you. main thing is to BE YOURSELF!!! my friend lived in Washington and when she came here, she was scared and didn't make that many friends. Then the next day she just started talking to people and made great friends (me!) lol.
what is not to like?? i think you sound like a great person and if someone treats you badly just keep thinking to yourself... it's their loss, not mine!
they will miss out on a great friend.
If some people stab you behind your back, just leave them alone and don't even talk to them because no body wants to be friends with a person who uses other people.
** join activities that you like, that way... you can meet people that share the same interests as you. if no one wants to be friends with you... don't worry!! some one will come along. my mom always says "don't go to them, let them come to you"
i really hope I helped and that you'll make friends

If you are you there will be people who like you no matter what dont try and be something your not just remember that and have funn. no matter where you are high school is the same. Just be yourself and have funnn! Im sure people will like you and you will make true friends that wont stab you in the back. [ JeniMarie17's advice column | Ask JeniMarie17 A Question ]
