  • Hi,
    Its my first time at a public school before. (Yeah, i know right, i've never been to a public school!)
    For all my life I have been home schooled, but this year I decided to go out into the world. (lol)


    I have all my books and stuff and i have been to visit the school, so i kinda know where I am going but I would really like some advice/tips/help with...well EVERYTHING!


    Any advice is accepted.

    hey don't sweat it, I've been going to a public school ever since I was in kindergarden and i'm currently in seventh grade.


    my advice is, make friends! don't take a boyfriend until you know people well enough, and have fun! don't hang out with people who can get you in trouble (like really stuck up people, or bullies)


    what grade are you going into? [/fancypost]

  • I've actually been in your boat before, except I went to private school.


    I'd suggest letting your teacher (teachers if you had multiple like i did) at least know you've never been to public school before. In the long run, they'll usually always be helpful if they know this. Also, making friends would be a good thing, and I suggest making a group of good friends- ones who wouldn't pressure you to do something bad and obviously have common interests with you. c:

  • Alright. If somebody makes fun of you, don't ignore it like adults say to. Then they think they can walk all over you. Say something back, but don't be especially mean. Just sort of laugh and make some witty remark back at them, and walk away. That always worked for me. Then they know to leave you alone.


    Try not to do something that will make them start a rumor about you. Trust me, rumors are ruthless. Be yourself though.


    Try talking to the teachers, make friends with them.


    Walk up to students that you think would be a good friend. Watch people for the first few days until you find a group you like and try to befriend them.

  • Actually, from my experience, ignore a bully. They WANT a reaction out of you, so they can pick you apart and laugh at you. You amuse them when you respond, and they learn that if you always do that, you're an easy target. Ignoring them will make the bully, after some time, think "okay this kid is no fun. they aren't going to be funny or anything. oh well, onto another target."

  • Never worked for me. Tryed that method, and I got pushed down the stairs.

  • I've been a bully myself, to a girl nobody in my grade liked. I mimicked her throughout all of science class, and as she got more and more upset and came back with "comments" (mostly swearing me out or insulting me) she got laughed at by both me and everybody around us. I would have stopped after a while if she ignored me, though she kept the fire going, which is what most bullies like.

  • That's why you don't swear or anything. You make a witty retort that is clever and leaves the bully speachless. I've been bullied. I had horrible rumors spread about me. Nobody liked me. Everyone likes me now.

    OOC: Well, this isn't too hard! :3 most people are pretty welcoming since alot of new students join. Just try and avoid people who seem rude but always stand up for yourself, don't seem weak! ;3 and of course try to talk to as many people as you can, and keep talking to them everyday! After some time you kinda figure out which people are like meant to be your best friend! xD
