high school
I entered high school going from an very small private school to a very large public high school (70 kids versus around 4000 kids) I knew it would be a big transistion, and would take some getting used to, but about a week and a half into it, I hate it so much. I spend most of my nights crying and I don't think I can bear it much longer. I don't know anyone but I have some people to talk to, but its just not the same as my other close friends. I just feel like Im completely lost, and not where I belong. No other people I know seem to feel this way. They say it'll get better but I can't see that happening. What can I do? If I really said I hated it, my parents would let me transfer, but I don't even know where to go. Theres a smaller catholic school closeby that I liked when I visited, but Im still unsure. My state has a lot of private high schools, but about that I am unsure also. (I live in Pennsylvania, my zip code is 19054)
Can someone please give me some kind of advice? Ideas? Something, because Im close to breaking.

same thing happened to me halfway through my sophomore year... it sucksss but it does get better eventually. you'll meet some cool people to hang out with later on. and trust me, theres a lot of people that feel the same way. try talking to some of the quiet kids..
if you do have a choice of changing to the private school, by all means do it. my friend lives in easton... she just moved there and started going to that are high school and she changed to notre dame after the first day because it was so bad. at least at a smaller school you'll have more of a chance to know people better.
stay positive... hang in there. i know it sucks and trust me, i wanna cry everyday too but you'll find something you like there. <3

same thing happened to me. i went to a catholic high school, and i didnt know anybody. i was there my frosh, soph, and junior year. i made the best friends of my life there. well i couldnt go back my sr yr so i transferd to a public school, and oh lord it was such a giant change. my cath school was sooooooooo tiny and now im at a humoungous public schools and the students dont even fit! my first couple of weeks were so rough i didnt know anyone and i constantly kept getting lost and not knowing whre my classes were. See youre lucky you can transfer, i cant go back. But were in the same position here and im just guna tell you that i got used to it, well i had to. I definitey made new friends, and thers boys! there werent boys at my catholic school. Im saying give it some time like me, and if you have a negative attittude about it, its definitely gunna suck for you..no way around it. but if you have a positive attitude about it, it wont be so bad. youl get used to it and start liking it, i did. like i said, give it time, and a positive attitude.

i just started high school and of corse i have tons of friends there, there are also new kids in the classes that i try to be friends with. a week and a half isnt enough time, it took my classes like a week to just get used to the school and to start being or normal selves like just talking and stuff. try to meet new people i know its hard but find someone you have a few classes with or have lunch with and just when they look over st you smile and make eye contact they just probably dont know how to come about meeting you so do that then maybe the next day even if you do understand the question in a class ask the person you sit next to if then could help you, just say something!!!!!!! once you have people to talk to it will be so much easier!!!
