By the way, I later went on to love High School but it was a big adjustment for me. Sophmore year I joined many clubs and met many new friends but it all took time. Was actually sad to graduate.DynamicDbytheC says,
"OMG, like, do I look OK?"canadafreeze says,
TFF. All around. WE are so insecure ... Even "years" later. No reunions for me, thanks.LucidDreamer says,
....just 3 more years....just hang on 3 more years......maryjane31 says,
How about some of those really mean girls who liked to say mean things to me. I did not realize that we were all insecure in our own way. But I could never say mean things to anyone or be cruel as some kids were. Today I would just throw her in a locker and lock it and walk away!MrsPremise says,
Woah. Everyone is so old, so tall! I have no clue where I am going. Who can I latch on to?Believe says,
Hold your breath. Chorus is 6th-bell.mzejay says,
I don't know anyone here.I went to a small private elementary school, then on to a large public high school. Some girls I vaguely remembered from nursery school approached me and said hi. I remember that one of them said "we're your friends now." I was still scared, but relieved.

Kill me now.maryjane31 says,
My feelings as well at that time.maryjane31 says,
One of my sons was a victim of a bully but in those days the Principal just felt it was boys being boys so nobody did anything. Senior year we held a party in our back yard and invited everyone but not this cruel kid and he got the message. That same kid now tries to "friend" my son on Facebook. Can you figure that out?Wench says,
I was home-schooled until my birthday in November, when I transferred to a charter school in North Philly for science and engineering. First thoughts: I am not cool. At all. Also I am the only white girl in my entire grade and everyone already knows each other.maryjane31 says,
Well that had to be rough for you. How did things go?Steve__Anthony says,
Fuck. Four more years and the rest will be gravy.Wench says,
It was a big culture shock but I came out alive. My parents pulled me out after that year and I went back to homeschooling (which I hated) and started taking college classes at 14. I'm 23 and I have two associates, a BFA, a certificate of creative writing (whatever that means) and virtually nothing to show for it.maryjane31 says,
Gone, I know what you are saying as I was a Catholic School change over as well. The nuns were so strict in the Catholic School and of course we wore those little uniforms with the knee socks. The great big Public school was like a prison to look at and soooo big! But I did adjust in about a year and learned to really like Public. The teachers were nice to me and I loved being able to wear regular clothes. I did well there.ba_miracle says,
Everyone is HUGE, I am lost (constantly. Where can I sneak a cigarette and will they notice if I don't go to class? Luckily I had a foster sister and brother who were both popular and very protective of me and a studious, responsible foster sister to keep me in class. Unfortunately I ended up in several different placements, went to 5 different schools before getting kicked out of public school in the 9th grade and finally, thankfully ended up in a very supportive and small alternative school.
