How can I fit in at a public school?

next year I'm going to a new school and it's a public school and I do not know anyone. I'm so frikin scared. I've gone to a private school all my life so.. any advice? how can I fit in?

I know how you r feeling, I was in the same situation when I younger, I am 44 now. thank god school days are over, well not true, now I got to work, which is not as fun as school. but first when you go to this school try not to show your nervousness. now is this a bigger school where you switch classrooms? or do you stay in one room? if you swtich class rooms just start noticing people who are by your locker, if you have lockers and start a conversation like gosh my locker is hard to open, if their nice they will give you a helping hand and naturally the locker will open because you just used that as an excuse to strike up conversation. if someone looks at you just smile back and I tell you what hon eventualy you will meet a girl who will be your friend and then more and more who get to know you will like you , if you have a good personality. now if its where you are in just one room all day then just , (im assuming your a young girl) just look around the girls in room and notice which ones seem nice and friendly and try to start a conversation with them, well try to talk to people who you seem to fit in with, you understand what I am saying? there is so many different clicks out there now a days, so try to hang with people who are your style. and stay out of trouble. hope this helps u. kimbobimbo

Im 21 now and went 2 public school all my life. But I know what its like to go to a new school its realy hard and somewhat scary but dont be nervous and just be yourself.Im posetive people will like you for who you are it might take a few days but you will make loads of friends.But realy be yourself because if they dont like you for being you than its there loss. Hope I help a little and have fun

Im in public school and theres a lot of things you should know. Im pretty sure there will be other new students too so your not alone. And when it comes to friends, there will probably be some people who will start talking to you and those are the people you want to hang out with. They might not be the coolest people but I personally know that those are the people who will have your back. Unless your so COOL that everyone will start talking to you and that would be awesome.

I've never went to a public school but I just switched schools which was a huge difference!! when going to a public school you have 2 b open minded. don't judge people so quickly and just be yourself. its also important not to be so shy. or else you'll be alone for months. trust me. I went from shy to outgoing loud friend. I have many friends now all guys for me. just be yourself and if no one is talking just start asking questions. nothings better than someone who wants you no you. good luck. tell me if it works.

just be yourslef and youll fit it with people just like you

im bout to go to a new school for the 2nd time. I failed miserably at fitting in the first. but now I know what I did wrong. dont be 'weird'. atleast not till a while. they alienate you if you are. just try to be mellow and cool. if people make fun of you or say mean things, just be like uhh ook? and roll your eyes. it makes them look stupid. dont look too 'eager'. being lade back makes you look popular. sometimes you got to fake it to make it. and look your best because hot people have better chances of fitting it. because trust me I've seen it happen. good luck

I go to public school its fun but there is one thing you need to know there is scical groups and everyone has a lble you just got to find your lable and see who has that same scoila group or lable and you will fit in but naturlly no one fits in just right

just be you'r self and if people dont like it then theyer not a real friend and no one want's to be with a hater!! and huney no one can really fit into to school you just go on about you' life and dont worry about other's and waht they think!! as loung as you look good to you and you feel good dont let no keep you or get down!!
