I am gong into 8th grade too! Only Ive gone to public school my whole life. Public school is fun because youll meet a lot of new people. And you might learn a lot more, but im not sure about that, because i dont know how well you have been taught. It is really fun (sometimes, school isnt always fun), so dont worry!
That's terrible, nobody is going to like you! New kid!!
It's not as bad as everyone says!! you will get used to it!!
just be nice to everybody and you should be fine, im not exactly the coolest person to walk the earth, but generally when you get along with everybody your well liked.
Don't take it to heart if someone says mean things. Everyone is mean to someone else at this age. Find a group of people that you like. Ignore the people who are ignorant and mean.
its gona b greeeeaaat fun
Beg your parents to send you to private school again. You are about to be taught be Godless socialists. Good luck and pray a lot.
Take a lunch.cafeteria food suxs!!
the school isnt really strict.. and the dress codes arent taht bad.. kids can be sort of mean cause u dont get in that much troubel...prob. not the best education lol...umm idk email me for more
Don't show any fear! Honestly, you'll be fine... just be yourself and make as many friends as possible.
public school isn't all that bad, I went to a public school all my life, try to get involved in some kind of extra curricular activity it helps you out a lot.
Don't act full of yourself or you'll be a quick target for harrassment, that's for sure. Be yourself and don't pretend to be someone you aren't, people can see right through you 90% of the time. The rest is just acting normal. If you've been home schooled your whole life it may be a bit tough to get used to, but it isn't too different from a private school.
I'd be surprised if you can tell the difference. There will be alot of kids, and some are good, some are not so good.
You might also see a greater mix of people.
Just be yourself and be friendly. That's all you need to know.
Be yourself. Public school isn't that bad. Talk to people (don't wait for them to talk to you) Be nice, ignore those you think you will not get along with. Go to the football and basketball games - be involved :)
Public school is fun and easy! Just be yourself and be cool! Soon you will have alot of new friends and meet some more!
well, i found that what works the nbest is to make friends with the cool kids before you go to the school. they will be intrigued by the new guy. just play it cool. find them on myspace/facebook and message them. or use connections. public school is grewat! its so free and you'll love it , just don't be uptight. stay chill and be really humorous and friendly to the people you meet. don't make glances or wlak with too much confidence, they'll think your above them.
ok chill i've been going since grade k its no big deal it just a tad more crowed and no uniforms (depending) where u go some public schools have uniforms but don't worry no big its just like going to a regular private school
i'am going to 7th grade here is my email so you can ask alot of question about ok princess_rae_3490@yahoo.com one exterm advice is not to let them no you are nervous because they will be laughing at you i'am totally going to be scared when i go back to school but nobody aint going to no so dont let them no(GOOD LUCK HOPE EVERYTHING WORK'S OUT)
Considering you are possibly walking in a new school year with many individuals that have made a switch or are advancing into a new school within the public system, many if not most of the students will be nervous. Don't sweat it, things will come around in due time.
yea, i'm going into 8th grade, there are lockers, more then one class room,i don't like it! But thats my hosest opinion!
Don't freak out. It is like private school but with different people.Trust me. You'll be fine.
Don't look like you've been in a private school all your life.Don't get all fancy and stuff.Act like a normal person.
Don't listen to the other girl.. You'll make friends.
Public school is awesome. You have to wear uniforms in private school right? Yuck! Be free to wear whatever you want.
Just be yourself.. Sure there's mean girls and boys like at any other school. I say they just need to get over their selfs.
Have fun in the 8th grade and enjoy it. Before you know you're going to be an adult and wish you would have. You'll do great in public school.
I would advise you to be open minded and open to diversity. Also, keep in mind that there will be kids there who have no interest in furthering their education and pretty much are there to cause trouble. Don't let that frustrate you or distract you. I went to a very diverse public school in NJ, and faced a lot kids with bad behavior. Just be yourself and you'll find people there you'll connect with. Try getting involved in clubs and activities you like, and that way you'll meet others with the same interests.
just left 8 grade in i have to say you have to be cool if not you will not get girls they will pick on you in somthime beat you up i saw it all becuase i was so cool in cute to all the girls also never be a corn ball or you will get no play at all in do hang around wack people that will just get your cool points down in always wear new things never old shoes that no one wears if you need any more tips email me
u've never been to a public school?? interesting..lol
well it's pretty much u go to the school and theres tons of people (since u'll b in middle school) and u will get a schedule becuz u have to switch classes every period, and u will have a locker so u'll have to memorize the locker combination. and a lot of ppl in middle school r jerks so u might get made fun of for practically anything, but ignore it, thats the easiest way to get thru that part. anyways u will have time to make friends during lunch and P.E and in free time during classes (if u get any) and b prepared for lots of homework!
(btw what school r u going to? maybe i'll get lucky and it'll b my school, im going into 7th grade!!IM me from my answers profile)
GOOD LUCK!!
1. take notes in class
2. try and make friends (they will make school easier)
3. make sure you are organized
4. stay positive and confident (people will respect you)
5. do your best
There really isn't all that much to school. I am going into 8th grade too. so I pretty much learned from 7th grade and older friends.
Well for starters, don't panic. Going to public school isn't that different except that sometimes the rules can be a bit looser and the kids wear whatever they want instead of uniforms. I went to Catholic school for 8 years before I went to public school. I was nervous too, but I got used to it really quick and it turned out to be a lot of fun. Especially the part about wearing my OWN clothes instead of a uniform. That was really cool because I could finally express myself the way i wanted to. Some kids might judge you based on what you wear, but remember, all you have to do is be yourself. If for some reason someone doesn't like who you are, based on what you wear, don't sweat it. Find someone who can appreciate you for you. Good luck and don't be nervous!!!
just be cool & dont worry about think cool & dont be so nervous. i bet you'll make new friends.
poor thing, you are going to have it rough. First off the teachers will prolly think you are spoiled rotten, the other kids will think you either a fruitcake or weirdo...
Just kidding...
Be yourself, be friendly, not overbearing. Make friends and do your work, basically the same things you did in private school, only now you'll probably have more people to chose friends from. It will be what you make of it. enjoy life.
woah, thats intense I have never been to public school but i have friends that go and its not that bad. Its just that public schools cant do say many things that private schools can, its the money issue.
