Arts & Humanities: Performing Arts: “Question: High school problems?” plus 5 more


Question: High school problems?

Posted: 15 Apr 2015 07:35 PM PDT

Keep an open mind toward new people you might meet. And congratulate yourself on getting INTO that performing arts school in the first place.

One thing you'll find going to this new school is more kids whom you may have a lot of things in common--mainly the love of performing! Doing anything remotely artistic at a regular school can get a kid labelled as a dork right off by others (I speak from experience). But you'll be going to a special school where there will be other kids where you could probably have a discussion about something arts-related and not have the person stare at you blankly. Just relax and be yourself. Don't worry if you don't make friends right away since other new students will be experiencing some of the same apprehension as you, and may feel shy and reluctant to talk or seem interested. You may have to make the first move.

As in life, there will ALWAYS be jerks. ALWAYS. You can't escape from them, but maybe with luck you can manage to avoid them. It's not necessary to be the most popular kid in school. If you manage to make one or two good friends, you'll be okay.

Congratulations on getting into that school! Believe in yourself, and never be afraid to ask your teachers questions if there is something you don't quite understand. It's the only way you'll learn.
