I just thought I would make a school post... considering im starting a new school and im sure everyone else is as nervous as I am too.
To all the kids that start a new school tomorrow... there are going to be many other kids going through the same exact thing as you are. Dont be worried, it may take time but you will find friends. You will learn who you can trust, who you should be friends with and who you will never forget. There may be rough times in the next few days, weeks, months or even years. But, you will not regret doing this. Some of you may not have a choice or some of you have chosen to go to a different school; but in the end it will work out. You will be happy when a few years down the road you're on the couch with your family watching a funny kid movie. You'll realize everything you went through was totally worth it. No matter what you had to endure.
To all the kids going through stuff at school tomorrow... Don't let them take the light from your eyes. You deserve to be happy and you dont have to let them get to you. I, probably more than other people, understand how hard it is to get through a school day. You will want to cry, you will want to leave the second you get there, and you will wish you home in your safe and secure room. But, eventually you have to face the facts that you cant always stay in a comfortable place. By all means, if nothing gets better after a while, get out of the situation. Get help. Talk to people you trust. Find something that will comfort you during the rough times. I used to go all day at school with my headphones in at every chance. Because sometimes it gets too rough to hear the kids talk about you, or have the bad family fight in the back of your mind. Just drown yourself in happiness and something that will always help you get through the day.
To all the kids who are enjoying seeing their friends at school tomorrow.... I hope you have an amazing day! Make new friends, try to include everyone, make someone smile. Love yourself, love everyone else. Be yourself and dont let anyone else make you second guess something you said. Be best friends with your teachers. Be the friend that you would want. Do not wallow in self pity. Tell your parents about how great your day was, how you miss everything that they did for you all summer but how good it feels to be back at school. Most importantly, find your true friends. I cannot stress this enough, there will always be people leaving and coming into your life. More than likely not everyone can be the perfect friend but you will have that one person. Its the circle of life, not everyone can stay. You will never forget the memories of school, they will stay engraved in your brain for a while. The best ones will definitely stay for life. Dont forget to have a great time.
