Im scared about moving schools? help!?
aww, don't stress! moving schools isn't actually as bad as it seems. i recently moved schools (to star year 10) and i was so freaked out about it! thinking all the same stuff as you like what if everyone hates me etc. etc. but seriously, it isn't even that bad just smile, and say hi to people, introduce yourself, be happy and people will want to get to know you. or if you wanna be in the 'popular group' all you need to do is straighten your hair and smother your face in makeup and be a bit plastic barbie looking. but seriously, don't do that. you won't make worthwhile friends. there will be plenty of people who will want to be friends with you. people LOVE to get to know the new kid! just relax, smile and be happy! remember to keep in touch with your old friends coz they will love to make sure that you are okay at your new school. you also have people there who you know. if your cousin is in the same year, get them to introduce you to a few people and just chill with them if you are heaps close. good luck!!

I want to move school?
Wow. I'm like in the same situation. I understand exactly how you feel. I've pretty much lost my friends too, and it's not easy for me to makes friends either. And it's not just that, I don't even like anyone at my school so I don't want to befriend anyone at all. I have and still cry at school sometimes too. Crying actually became a daily thing for me recently. To this day, I still can't stand my school or anyone in it. You have no idea how much I don't want to be here. I'm probably not going to be much help to you, but I just wanted to let you know you're definitely not alone on feeling this way. Maybe you have a relative that lives somewhere else that you can live with so you can transfer schools? Or maybe you can just spill your heart out to your mom. Tell her absolutely everything. Even cry in front of her. No mom likes seeing her daughter suffer to the point where she's crying everyday. Beg her. Oh, you can also tell your mom that because of all of this it's affecting your school grades. Like, because you hate your school and the people in it, it's difficult for you to concentrate. No mom wants her daughter to be doing bad in school either! Do anything and everything! Try your best. Sorry, I'm not much help because I haven't even found a way to get my mom to let me move schools, but good luck! I've been feeling like how you feel for quite a long time now and I'm still trying to get the hell out of my school. Keep trying! (:
Moving high schools senior year... help?
So guys. I'm a senior in high school and i've been going to the same school for 4 years. I moved the summer before my senior year 1hr and 15mins away. My parents would give me money for gas, just so I could stay at that school and graduate with my friends. Well hundreds and hundreds of dollars later. I feel like complete crap. I understand that they offered to let me stay. But I feel horrible for it. My parents and I decided that I would switch schools and the end of the semester (under two weeks from now). Driving back and forth has gotten really hard for me. I tore my ACL and had to quit all of my sports. It's definitley not cheap using up all that gas. I come from a family of 5 kids and I just want to make my parents life a little easier. I'm going to miss my friends of course, and my boyfriend of a year and a half. But I feel that this is the best option. I guess the reason i'm telling you guys this, is just becase I need a little guidance and tips. I've moved middle schools before. But not high school. This is suppose to be an important time for me. But it's turned out to kinda suck. I'm really scared to go to my new school. I am so afraid that I won't have people to sit with at lunch, or people to talk to and hangout with. I'm scared that people won't accept me. I'm scared that my boyfriend and I won't last much longer. I just always feel like crying. I need some reassurance that everything will be okay, and some tips on how to make friends this late in the year. I know this sounds weird becase I should know by know, being a 17 year old girl and a senior in high school. But I'm not sure I really do. I have friends at my school right now. And I don't want to sound too conceited, but i'm actually pretty "popular" there. I have made homecoming court 2 years. I kind of made a name for myself at that school. I'm moving from a school that has like 1,000 people in it, to a school that has like 200. I know this is very very long, but I just want some people to help. Thank you for your time! <3
I want to move school but I'm afraid too?
hey, what year are you in? I'm in year 8 and in the same position as you! I get bullied so much that it's resulted in self harm and depression. People think that the words they say don't hurt but they really do. Similairly to you - there is no local schools next to me apart from a Christian one - but I'm not baptised :L I have friends and i don't want to leave them. I'm nervous that if I would move I would still be bullied.. You should not have to put up with getting bullied. It should be illegal because the way it affects people is just horrible. Hang in there sweetie, think about the positive effects of going to a different school - be confident, be yourself and you will make friends. Don't worry - you're not alone :) if you need any help just e-mail me :) :) I also want to throw my chair at people --- numerous people :)
Can I move school during year 10?
School is a real horror for me at the moment! I've basically gotten on the wrong side of this girl, who is getting her own back by turning everyone I am friends with against me. I knew she held grudges but I didn't think it was going to be all these threats, evil text messages, nasty emails and spreading rumours. I used to cope with it (it's been happening since octoberish) but now she's learnt how to hurt me the most (taking my friends away) and it's really difficult. Basically, My mum called the school but that really got them angry and they started telling all the teachers about bad things I had done (some of them were true but blown out of proportion- if you get what I mean?) My oldest friend, Hannah, goes to the local rich kids school and I was going to go there for year 7 (but my mum lost her job) I really had my heart set on that place and was really gutted when I couldn't go. Now I can afford it again I really want to go there! So basically, moving schools would be great but being in year 10 makes it much more difficult. I'm willing to catch up and stuff but would that be enough? I'm willing to mix up my options and drop a few or gain some new ones, just anything to get me out of my school!
My friend wants to move school :( ?
o how sweet my name's tara too! well, look, you can't really change the path of her life honey, talking her out of it is no use. look, my friends changed schools and i ended up with no one this year. you can always ALWAYS kep in touch with them. going out, calling, txting, chatting, you know? changin schools wont end a deep friendship. me and my friends are doing better than ever. and if you're sad that she's glad she's leaving, don't be. you said you were going through rough times at home. well, maybe a fresh start is what she needs! it doesn't mean she will forget you. she's just having a hard time at home and starting fresh somewhere else is a calming thought for her. all i can say is: it's going to be fine. but you can tell her how it makes you feel. but don't make her feel guilty or anything. nothing good ever comes from that.
I don't want to move :( I don't want to move schools, I love my school, please help?
Well for the most part you may not have a choice. But....there are people who went to my school who had used their grandparents address as their home address so they could still go to the school. It wasn't that uncommon. It could also depend on your grades. If you are academically doing well you may be able to talk to your admin about how you are succeeding due to the staff here. If your really lucky your school might have higher test scores than the new one. So you can make the argument that it's not educationally beneficial to move. I moved when I was in 7th grade to a new city 4 hours away from my old school. I had to make new friends etc and it was okay. It could be a lot worse in the sense that you could have been moved during your senior year in high school or something like that. If moving is what has to happen then I would set the record straight with your parents that you want to graduate at that high school and not to move until your done with your senior year. You'll still be able to see your friends etc. :) Best of luck!
