I just meant, Rachle, that you can't really give advice about a school you've never been to... they're all different, so you have to use your own judgement... but Spammich's advice is mostly the best to follow... at least as far as I know... just don't go overboard...

Like everyone's been saying, it's really hard to give advice about a school you haven't attended. I mean, my highschool was audition-only art highschool, so my experience is going to have been completely different then Spammich and Trey's, and even Poppy's.
The trick is to not-worry about it. If you look at all the 'cool' kids, across the board, they're all the kids that don't worry about how popular they'll be, or who will accept them. They just go in, rock whatever they're wearing like it's a Milan catwalk, and they have fun.
If you have fun, people will want to have fun with you. Play to your strengths, and have fun. And yeah, as cruel as it is, there will probably be people, the insecure types, trying to get your goat. They're doing it to boost their street-cred. The best way to deal with the idiots is just to smile, laugh--and if possible, turn their joke on themselves.
For example, I've been an out lesbian since the ninth grade. Early on in the ninth grade, someone called me a dyke infront of the entire school. Rather then panic and lose my cool and freak, I just shrugged and nodded. And because I -didn't- care, the guy figured it wasn't a trigger of mine, and let it go. And then people were like, "she's so chill" and I ended up being pretty popular.
To make a long story short: be comfortable in your own skin. Take no shit, make no excuses, and don't back down from something because people might raise eyebrows.

They both have their pros and cons Pat. No, they traded a while ago. Public gave all their cons to private, in exchange for the pros. =o

Have you ever been to a private school? If not then you can't really say if they are bad or not can you bubbles.
