Going from homeschool to public school will i fit in?

posted in Society & Cultures |

Ok so i am homeschooled but my foster mother wants me to go to a regular school next year for 7th…why i really dont know.

This REALLY sucks the things i like to do are not typical teenage girl stuff by any means. Dont do the fashion or makeup thing or like usual teen celebrities like Hannah Montana or the Johnson Brothers is that right?. lol im not even sure what ppl like im usualy in my own world with other homeschool friends

anyway im a little freaked plus my best friend whom i have known my hole life and is the only person i really care about at the moment Ill have to leave him behind cuz we used be homeschooled together but now he has to do it alone i guess because his foster parents still want him to.

so yeah…any advice…on ways for me to fit in would be great even though im not sure i want to fit in . or if you could tell me what public schools are like maybe…

….yeah im pretty much just venting here…god this sucks.

jonas brothers…lol and just to let you know…not all regular teenagers like them. or pre teens.

you dont have to be typical…that is so boring..and you wont stand out. You want to stand out in a good way right? so do so.
Just be outgoing and friendly nothing really bad happens with that.

Middle School to be was one big drama scene. Everyone is trying to find themselves. They are in an odd stage because they are not SUPPOSE to find themselves…that is saved for high school and college. Its complicated.

its okay too vent…you will have to do so.
But i think from switching you will gain tons of friends and lead a more diverse life. And build your social skills school is great for that.

Good luck. :

Calm down. Public school is far from a scary place. Most kids mind their own business.

Foremost its difficult for someone to genuinely say theyre not the typical teenager. Every teenager believes theyre different from the rest but in reality most young Americans have notable similarities. Regarding your issue of clothing there are kids who wear mainstream clothing that you see related to Hannah Montana but also an equal amount of kids may vary between school districts who are into urban clothing skate and surf clothing counterculture clothing etc. As for your question on how to fit in there are various ways to achieve fitting in. I believe the universal rule to fit in is to socialize and dont be an ass or mean. Talking leads to acquaintances which paves way to friendship which creates success in fitting in. If youre rude to people undoubtedly people wont enjoy your company. Another crucial element to fitting in is to avoid awkwardness. This is a complex and subjective trait but in my opinion awkward people encompass twitching behavior overshyness poor people skills repulsive odors or overtalkative communication.

Moving onto your best friend your time spent together will certainly change when you move to public schooling. However there are still remarkable ways of maintaining your friendship. Youre on the internet right now and that in itself provides instant messaging webcam conversation or social networks such as facebook or myspace. Additionally most families have access to a telephone or cell phone. Most importantly you should be able to drive to his place or vice versa on weekends or after school. You may even meet up at movies restaurants or parks. All things considered dont be afraid of losing your friend. You can still be in his life life and he doesnt have to be alone if you utilize your options.

EDIT: The answerer before me makes a reliable point particularly when he or she says that middle school will be dramatic. If youre a girl this will soon be more of an issue than for boys considering their natures have a greater tendency towards gossip and rumors. I can count the number of times guys that I know have been in drama on one hand whereas Ive been exposed to endless conflicts between girls.

Additionally do make a grand effort in building social skills. People who are socially bright are more successful in the work world and in their personal realm.

the best thing to do is make a good first impression but not the bossey type or the person who know every thing try and be you. i let friends come to me but if u got to them theres a 40 they might not like depending on ur first impression

im going to a new school to but im just going to be the same person who i was in my last school mabey a littel more confident and hard working well good luck

All youre experiencing is fear of the Unknown right now. Once you begin public school youll wonder why you wasted all those years home schooled. More friends more excitement more sports…just more fun all around.

I promise

And dont worry about fitting in or not just be yourself as you were with that other boy and youll end up having more friends than youll know what to do with
