Moving schools middle of junior year?
I'm currently a junior in high school right now, and my parents said I can move schools because of all the problems I'm having at my current one. It's made me REALLY depressed, the people there just constantly give me a hard time, and it's athletic program is all about favoritism, so I didn't get to participate in volleyball even though I've played for years. The teachers don't really care, and the district keeps focusing on making more rules instead of the academics. I have no friends there, just "acquaintances", so that doesn't matter to me. But my question is, do you think it's a bad idea to move right in the middle of the year? Especially since I'm a junior now? I know the school I'm looking to go to has an amazing sports and fine arts programs, and they have way more clubs than my current school does, and I'm in no clubs right now, so that could help me out. Also the school is huge, I think there's almost 3600 kids there. But they offer a lot of electives that a lot of people had to wait to take in college. I guess the only thing I'm worried about is if I move, it'll be even worse for me and I still won't make friends since the place is so huge. Do you think I should switch?
Moving high schools junior year?
I just found out that i'm going to be moving schools next year, my junior year. I'm going to be attending a small private school with only 50 kids in my grade ( I currently attend a public school with over 2,000 students). Do you think that the kids will accept me since i'm going to be coming junior year? Also, i've never moved schools before, any tips about making friends at a new school?
Is moving senior year, or middle of junior year, of high school a good idea?
Hey! I've moved 3 times so far in high school and I am currently a senior. I feel your pain lol. Are your parents actually giving you the option of not moving? If so, thats amazing! What you really need to think about is teacher recommendations. Thats the problem I am currently having. If you end up moving, make sure to keep in contact with the teachers from your old school that really know you so they will be able to write you recommendations. I actually wouldn't recommend moving your senior year just because senior year is the time that everybody has formed really close bonds and its hard to feel part of the class as the new kid. BUT i am in an extremely small school where the kids have been together since kindergarten. So im sure it would be different if you're going to a bigger school. It's harder to get leadership positions in clubs because the kids don't really know much about you. Also, if you're moving out of state... you won't be considered "in state" for college in that state unless you've lived there for 2 years. But that might not matter at all to you. Overall, its completely up to you. I love being the new kid but its not for everybody. good luck wherever your path takes you!
I am transferring to another school in the middle of my Junior year. Should I do it?
There are two ways in front of you 1: Move with your parents and join a school in New Jersey . A girl in our school , joined in the middle , but she is totally unaffected as she has special care even after years unlike the other new comers .2: Continue in the same school half - heartedly and join the school .I would give you a piece of advice : If you are in grade 1 to 9 = Prefer the school in New Jersey .If you are in grade in grade 10 or above .
Moving schools during the middle of the school year?
Talking to the counselor is a good idea. That person may be able to tell you how the credits will transfer, and what you can expect when you arrive at your new school. (The counselor may not know, depending on how far away the new school is, but he or she can probably contact someone in authority there and find out.) Now, with your permission, let me offer you some advice. Your parents probably are not "oblivious." There is every likelihood that they understand perfectly well how stressful this is for you, but the move to a different state is strongly motivated, and they are taking an action they feel is best in the long run. You are obviously going to go with them. (You do not have the option of simply saying, "No, thank you," and staying behind, living out of a refrigerator case. Going is your only choice.) Stressing over the decision and being uncooperative will not help matters out. The smart thing to do is to slap a smile on your face (even though you are unhappy and disappointed), take whatever actions you can to make the move easier and smoother, and keep reminding yourself that the new school is full of great friends whom you just haven't met yet. The love of your life may be waiting there for you. The best teacher you'll ever have may be standing in front of a classroom there right now. If you adopt positive thoughts, the change will be much less stressful, and will work out better for everyone.
Is Junior year in high school too late to move?
Answering this question is not possible Grace because "online school" has so little translation from what you are doing to what goes on in the schools of 50 different states in the USA. The learning that takes place in your junior year of HS in New York is vastly different from that which takes place in the deep south. Sorry if that offends anyone but the standards for acceptable are just not comparable at all. So where you are going to attend the rest of HS will determine how well you are prepared for that experience. Adding an online "home school" experience gives the evaluation too many variables to provide you with much useful feedback on the decision. Sorry, wish I could be of more help...either way, good luck !
Moving to a new high school in my junior year!?
Hello, I understand how you feel - leaving familiar surroundings and friends you have made over the years. It may seem hard to believe right now but you will make new friends and you never know it may even be better than where you came from. You only have a few years left of high school and you want to enjoy them. Besides think of it this way if you decide to go to college you will go through these same anxieties again - and you will be better prepared to deal with them. Here are a couple of tips for you on your first day - remember to familiarize yourself with the school before attending. On you first day make sure you wear comfortable clothing that you feel good in. Remember you know how to make friends because of the friendships you have made in the past. Problems that you can solve for yourself help to build confidence. Join a school activity - it is a great way to make new friends. Go to you parents with any concerns - we all need love and support. Most of all try to not worry about what others are thinking - just be yourself and that is good enough. You sound like you will fit right in.
I'm moving to another state, new high school, junior year?
You're almost a carbon copy of my situation. I moved from one state to another half way through my Junior year. I made friends, but to be honest, they weren't as tight as my friends in my previous school. Don't stress about making friends. There will be a lot of people in your new school anxious to meet a new student. Look at it this way; they have been with the same people in school for a decade. Well, that's a little boring, too. So when a new student shows up they want to meet them and find out what is going on in the "outside" world. This is NOT advice. Looking back, I regret not telling my parents that I wasn't going to move. Now I'm a guy and I can't slide this up high enough to see your screen name, but it's much easier for a guy to do that. Get me the tiniest cubicle of a room in the YMCA and I'll be OK. I never told my parents of those thoughts, because after the move, it was too late and would just have created a lot of hard feelings.
Moving in the middle of high school pros and cons...?
if you are definitely moving for sure, then there's no need to focus on the cons. instead, focus on the pros. 1. fresh new start regarding everything: school, friends, life 2. a new life experience 3. learn how to make new friends (you are probably awesome, so it's no biggie) 4. well, no offense, but it's not like you have a choice 5. realize that after high school, which is in 2 years, you're going to have to leave your friends anyways 6. facebook/internet makes your friends only a click away
