Starting a new school after a summer move

 
 

Check these out, too...

  • 5 last-minute ways to lift your grades
  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • How not to pull an all-nighter (and stay sane if you have to)
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
I moved this summer, and I’m very nervous about starting a new school.

 

Dear Nervous,

That’s understandable. But you’ve made friends before and you’ll do it again. Say “hi,” smile, remember name, don’t talk too much about how great your old friends are and sign up for after-school activities—theater, newspaper, sports. Working with others on projects or in teams makes for easier bud-bonding opportunities. And in your attempt to be social, don’t let your schoolwork slip. Talk to teachers if you feel lost or if you’re at a different level than the rest of your class.

Hey girl, it's tough, but all you can do is offer to play with her and let her go from there. If she wants to play, she'll come to you.

HeySmile so, i got the clean and clear acne stuff, and it says that 100 percent of people had clearer skin in 1 day, but I was on my period when I started and I hear acne gets worse during then, and it seems like my acne got worse, not better... I'm gonna keep using it, but I just don't understand why all my friends skin is so pretty and mine has bumps? Any tips? Thanks!!!




Hey girl, trust me when I say not everyone has clear skin – especially in a day. Clean and Clear may not work for your skin, but don't sweat it. It doesn't work for mine or a lot of other people's either. So try different products and see which one works best ttrough trial and error.

Hey girl, I'm a big fan of Target. I'd definitely check out their gear now before everyone else does — you get first pick.

Same here! It's a new school year - better than the middle of the year though. Just talk to a girl you are near, like saying a compliment (it almost ALWAYS gets them to say at least a sentence or two and is almost guaranteed to start a convo.) Best to do this in homeroom so you know someone you can sit with at lunch.

I want to start wearing make up. But my sister won't allow me to! She keeps saying things like "I didn't start wearing make up until I was in 8th grade!"
PLease don't say that I should talk to my parents, just don't.
I only want to wear a little eyeliner and eyeshadow and sometimes lip gloss.
What do I do?




Hey girl, I think it's important to remember who the boss is here: your sister isn't. Ask your mom if you can and just ignore your sis. She doesn't call the shots. Don't let her.
