New to public school...

[TOR]

Hey guys

Im 16 and a sophomore in high school. I've been in charter schools all my life. (for those who dont know, a charter school is an expensive "prep" school which usually has alot less students than a public school, mine had 500)

Ive been following the DJ principles and I have been successful with girls at my former school.

But Im going to public school now. I know public school is WAY different than charter/private schools and that some of you guys go to public schools.

Ive never been to one, and dont have any friends that go to a public school so I dont really know what making friends, getting girls, etc, is gonna be like...

Could you guys help me out by giving me the basics of public school about making friends, geting the girls, not getting the **** kicked out of you, etc, etc

fantastic. u have been emancipated from private school. lucky for you, this happened to me at the same point in my life, so heres some advice, as well as questions.

1- What kind of person wud you describe yourself as? (e.g. preppy, gothic, skater, so on). Myself i was a mix between what people call a "wigger" as well as a "stoner. First, to make yourself comfortable, try to first associate with these people to get a comfortable friend base. You will move on to other people later, not to say you should ignore them.

2- Dont be that preppy private school faggot. Have a little mystery, and dont talk about your old school unless asked. At all. Ever.

3- Use the same methods, unless you got girls by talking about polo, porsches, and other rich ****. the only rich **** you can talk about is cocaine, if ur into it (but only to other coke fiegns). If not, no rich ****.

4- Dress well. When i first entered public school, i dressed like a douche, cuz i had been wearing uniforms for so long. So go buy yourself some nice clothes.

Have fun

Try use the whole "new guy" thing to your advantage. A lot of girls will be interested in you since you're new. And you have to act fast, cause it's a novelty that will wear off in time.

I'd probably be in the preppy class cause thats what I've been my whole life, but being in public school, I might want to change myself a little?

I never got girls through the "rich boy" thing, I'm not even that rich compared with most of the kids who went to my school. I have been following the DJ principles for about a year now, and they've been working great for me.

4- Dress well. When i first entered public school, i dressed like a douche, cuz i had been wearing uniforms for so long. So go buy yourself some nice clothes.

Dress well? How well should you be dresing at public school? I was thinking itd be just real casual stuff like jeans and a t-shirt or something like that...

And what about your social status at public school? How do you become known/popular? Its probably alot different than my old school...

I don't have time to answer everything, but it seems like a lot of your problem is that you're catgorizing yourself as an "outcast" right from the start.

Check out the DJ bible, especially the posts about first impressions, and anything related to self-image. When you start at this school, make sure you're dressed so that you KNOW you're the sh!t. Confidence will be everything when meeting new people.

Don't get all worried over it, relax a little and try not to fall into a group that doesn't share interests with you just because they seem nice. When i moved to a new school, i was cool with all the nerdy kids because they worshipped me, and it hurt my rep a lot (this is like four or five years back). Thing is, i really didn't enjoy hanging out with them anyways because my interests were a lot different than theirs.

By dress well he means don't dress like a slob or anything. Since you said you're on the preppy side, stores like American Eagle and Abercrombie are good.

As for making yourself known/popular, really the best way is to talk to everyone, particularly the ones you can see are popular. Be very social. Talk about normal teenage things like parties, music, movies, disliking certain classes, sports, etc. If you can get invited to a party it's a huge plus, and will make meeting people even easier. Plus, it will help assure your social status. If you know of a real big party (no invites) going on, then just go up there and mingle with people on your own. Show your sense of humor and put the moves on the girls. Playing on a sports team will help a lot too. If you aren't really into sports, join some clubs.

I say he should go comando to school, and show that he is a real man, or a real idiot!

Well I played football and soccer at my last school, but that was a school of 500, I dont think Im good enough to make the varsity football or varsity soccer team at a school of 4000.

What about getting into fights and sh*t? My last school was a private school and there wasnt alot of fighting and/or giving ppl sh*t, but I know that theres alot more of that stuff going on at a public school.

 

[LesaneCrooks]

the fight thing really depends on where your goin 2 school bro. however, most likely, if u dont start **** with people you should be set. If you still get some douche who wants to fight you, then fight him, just like you normally would. Worst comes to worst, you get your ass kicked, but at least u handled it like a man. But seriously, dont worry about it, and dotn start crap.

Well, it won't hurt to try out anyways. Plus, most schools don't have tryouts for their football team. They just take everyone who signs up for it, and the best ones play in games.

And as for fights, if you live in a fairly well-off area, it shouldn't be a problem. I live in an upper-middle class area and we rarely have fights at my school (only a few a year), so it's exciting and fun when we do.

Yeah, I guess it depends on where you go to school.

Its not like Ive never gotten into a fight, Ive already gotten into one this year, it just seems like itd be greater odds against you at a public school with a whole group of kids beatin on you than a one on one fight like Ive been in.

About the tryouts-yeah, Ive always been an athletic guy so I wont pass up the opportunity to try out
