Just wanted to get this off my chest.

[Mistykal]

I'm gonna start highschool soon, and yesterday, we had a meeting there to see in wich class you are, and to get to know the students and teachers. I start school this Wednesday. I didn't end up with any of my friends in my class, although there are a couple of people I know. I'm not that down about it, becuase I will make new friends in the class, and I still can see my friends after school and such, but my friends are taking it pretty hard. One of them was put in class with her best friend, but the thing is, that the friend won't be in school for months becuase she is in a closed section of the hospital because she is Anorexic. My friend is taking it really hard but thats a whole other story. My other friend is in a class, that has only 5 boys, and the rest are girls so he's not sure he's gonna fit in, and that he will get a bad name for hanging out only with girls. I don't want to change class, and they don't want either. I try to do everything to help them, talk to them, try to make them feel better, but nothing helps. I was kinda excited for the new year in school, but now I know that I will be depressed because of my other friends, and I don't know what to do. I'm usually a very optimistic person, but my friends are pasimists, and they get me down sometimes. I deal with it, but now I don't really know what to do...

Wow, that was nice to get off my chest..

Poor thing. *big hug*

Just dont get down about it. Its nothing really. I know it will be weird going into a class with nobody you know,but..whats the worst that could happen? They will get used to it,I'm sure.

Look at it as a great opportunity to meet all the ppl in your grade! Make new friends.. and who knows, find new 'love', hehe..

Don't worry, they'll get over it within a few weeks of class

[Shoyru_Lover]

Aww, but what eclitic says, there's a silver lining in every cloud. You'll meet new people and make new friends =] Just because you're in different classes doesn't mean you can't still be friends.

My other friend is in a class, that has only 5 boys, and the rest are girls so he's not sure he's gonna fit in, and that he will get a bad name for hanging out only with girls.

Why would he get a bad name? It's not his fault he's in a class with mostly girls. Tell him to relax. No one I know would tease someone for being in a class with an obvious dominant opposite gender.

this is my third year in high school and i never get a class with people i know, but i deal with it, and mainly have guy friends but didn't get a name for that

i just hate when they make you pick a group and dont know anyone in that class and everyone else knows eachother T_T

I was in the same spot as you. I had no friends execpt in science and band in my classes. (the friend in sciecne is a guy but hes weird...) I made a lot of new friends this year thanks to that though. I'm sure you'll make friends

[Mistykal]

I don't have a big problem with my class, they do, but thank you, I feel better now. I need to just let things happen, and hope that my friends will feel better.
About the 5 boys in the class thing, my friend doesn't have almost any guy friends, anly girl friends, and people say stuff about him.. Now that fact that he's in a class with only 5 boys, he will not make that many guy friends and still be called a sissy and other stuff. I don't get why people make fun of him, he's a realy nice boy...

[Twinkle]

Well, he'll settle in. People are probably jealous of his close relationship with girls and it's nice that he can get on with girls. He'll probably make guy friends too eventually, it just takes time to settle in. If anyone says anything about him in front of you, just be sure to stick up for him

I'm glad you seem okay with high school. It should be alright anyway, and hopefully you'll have a good time and make plenty of friends.

About your girl friend, I'm sorry that her best friend is in hospital. It must be really tough on her - and on those of you who know this friend as well. I hope she gets better soon, and maybe your friend can tell her (the one in hospital) about what school is like so she can get to know about school even if she can't go?

And I hear that in high school, there's less labelling and gossiping. I don't go to high school, but I'm in the equivalant. In my school, there was a lot less gossiping and labelling because people really got down to work. My science class only has six girls, including myself, and at the beginning of the year, twenty boys. The boys bonded together, and the girls probably more so because there's less of us. The situation will probably be similar.

The other thing is, people have lots of friends from both genders so it's no big deal. *nod*

High school is actually really fun. If you make the most of it, you won't have any regrets Involve yourself in your interests and go through all the way!
