35 yeas old...
Hallo...I just started school...and I am 35 years old...so...as you can understand...I am kind of different. I dont wanna go to a night school(where I can find more people my age), cause I work at night as a stripper.
To make things worst..I also happen to be EMO. I was EMO before they had a word to describe EMO. Anyways..I am really desparate...I just cant fit in. Can you help me please? Tell me what am I supposed to do?

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
online classes are a great option..so are community colleges. i go to a community colleges and in every class i have one or two adults. community colleges attract all kinds of people. people who are adults such as yourself, people who just graduated high school, people who are smart and use community college as a stepping stone, and people who dont quite meet the educational requirements to be in a university. some tips for you :
do not try to appear like you are better than everyone. i have an adult in one of my classes who thinks she is so great and smart, it really doesnt look good to the class. i have an adult in my math class who is just like the rest of us. she gets stuff wrong when she is called on the class and the professor corrects her just like she would correct me. students might actually look up to you as an adult figure with more work experience and just general experience in life. be friendly and approachable and you wont have a problem.

im sure you mean college? either way, you can do online classes. they fit really well with a busy schedule. you could still work at night and just do your school work during the day. send me a message and let me know whether your talking about high school or college so i can give you more detailed descriptions of what i mean.

Are you in school or college?
Whichever...
I think you should really be proud of yourself for being brave enough to go! LOADS of people wouldn't.
I think, because you're a bit older, the students are likely to be intimidated by you because you're A Proper Adult. They're used to adults being in authoritive positions.
Try and let them see your personality a bit, without trying act too young for them; be yourself! Chances are the more mature students will be drawn to you as you're not immature like some of their contempories, yet because you're emo you'll be able to relate to youth culture.
If it so happens that you never meet anyone you fit in with, stick with it.
You're doing this for yourself, so don't let some snidey kids get in your way.
GOOD LUCK! xxx
