Question Posted Thursday October 18 2007, 12:14 pm
Ok i really need help. I've been having a lot of friendship problems as of the last year i guess. End of last year, and beg. of this year. I go to a super big high school and just can't find the right type of people to be friends with/ I've been making more friends and stuff, but I don't really feel like I have one of those super close together til the end group of friends. I had to leave my old group of friends because i couldn't take the drama and now im making better friends. But im still having some problems with the old friends and makign new ones. I just feel like there arent friends there for me. Not like what i want or anything. I dont know im bery confused but anyway my question is my parents know about my friendship issues and asked if i would like going to a smaller, private school. they think maybe a smaller school is best. Im pretty outgoing and very nice and fun, and smart too but i dont always act like it haha :D. I know there are still cliques in private schools but would it be better to try over and make friends? Okay im gonna list my question:
-Being in high school would i be able to make new friends and fit in?
-Would it be really hard to adjust?
-What happens if i want to go back to my old school because no one wants to be friends with me?
-Could this happen?
-Should I try going to a private school thats smaller?
-How do I know if people are who they seem because i seem to be bad at this.
-Are the friends I really want and are looking for going to be there? because i feel like i've tried looking for them all over and can't find them at my school.
I know I have a lot of questions and sorry about that. I have learned a lot from these friendships tho and think i could make lots of friends if i got to start again with a clean slate. But i dont know if the friends i really want are there or what! I really want these friends SO badly! But considering its high school i dont know if i would be able to just join there school and make friends and fit in or not. Please help me! If you have ANY thoughts or opinions or anything PLEASE tell me! I want as much advice as i can get and will rate ALL of you who help me! Thank you so so so much in advance!!! :D

New people are the spice of life, another person to impress and befriend. I personally like small private schools, since they are like regular ones socially, but don't have the people who are stupid, act stupid, and are mean. They generally have nice, clever people, despite what is depicted in books and TV shows. High school can be the best times for anybody, as long as you're willing to just do it. Don't be afraid to say hi, or ask someone to the movies or to go shopping. Give everybody a chance; just because you don't have a good first impression of someone, doesn't mean that they're mean or rude. Just get along with everybody, relax, and have confidence. Good Luck!!

1) yes im sure that you will be social dont worry about it
2)yeah im pretty sure you would know how like i said --confidence--
3)Thats why i was telling you try one more time so that you wont regret moving skools just try and give it more time ..
4)i think its not such a bad idea but aswell like i said try once more:D:D
5)well we dont know really if they are goin to be there but im sure you will find a really good friend you can do stuff with just get closer and funner!
