How do i...?


Question Posted Wednesday August 29 2007, 2:52 am

Today was our first day of school, and i wasnt in any classes with my friends. Its my senior year, and id love to be with them. My dad donates a lot to the school, so he talked to the principal and tommorow i have a meeting with the principal to discus what id like changed, and hell switch it for me. I definately dont want to be that bratty student who gets whatever she wants. I have 2 classes with my friends, but thats 2 out of 8. How do i tell my principal which classes id like switched without sounding like "give me what i want, and give it NOW!". And how do i tell him how much i appreciate him taking the time to do all that? I dont think of myself as a brat, and neither do my friends but some people at school do, just because i can get what i want somtimes. I dont want to over-use whatever power i have. I dont want to be a bother to anybody. Any advice you might have, id appreciate it. Thank you sooo very much!

The best thing you can do, is to not change all your classes. If you change a few classes people shouldn't take to much notice of it.

Also you will be surprised by how many new friends you can make by not having your friends in the same class as you, I'm not saying it will be easy as you will be out of your comfort zone, but if you try to you will be surprised at who you start making friends with.

Best of luck!

Okay, I can understand both ends of this situation.
First, since this is your last year, and your dad donates a lot to the school, you should feel that you do have the right to be in your friends classes. But then you're afraid people will start calling you bratty or whatever, which might be true, unless you are in a huge school and people barely notice you. (not to be mean, but if your in a big school not everyone knows you, or whatever)
I think you should ask to change like 3 classes, so your in some with your friends, and some with new people. Its a win-win situation: you get classes with your friends, but at the same time you aren't getting EVERYTHING you want, just a little. Ahh kind of confusing?
I hope I helped you out a bit, and good luck!
