    We moved 3 months ago and now,I have to go to a new school,which is near our house.The thing is that I don't know a soul there,and I don't wanna know,because,all the people there are posers and the only thing they care about is who will be their next boy/girl friend,in which club they're going to go and things like that.Things that I HATE!

    But still,I can choose to go to a school which is too far away from my house.I have to change 2 buses to get there and I'll have to wake up at 6.30,something which is kinda difficult for me.In that school,I know a girl with whom we are really good friends,and I've heard that in that school go people of my type.i.e like you guys.

    Can you Please tell me your opinion?What would you do?

    Well just figure out what is more important to you. Having friends and being in an enviorment you like......or saving yourself some sleep time and hassle with the busses to go to the new school. Actually, you might want to give the new school a try and not be so quick to judge.....but otherwise just figure out what is more important to you.

    i had a similar dilemma when i was your age.

    it was a choice between a good school far away,
    and an average school right down the street.
    of course, i didn't know a soul at either place.
    i chose the close one so that i could walk to school if i wanted, plus it was in a much better part of town than the other school.

    but in your situation, i think you should consider making the sacrifice of getting up early and all that, so that you can be in a place that you like, with people you want to be with. in the end, it will pay off.

    So, um, you don't know a soul there, but you know that everyone there is a poser? That sounds about as well founded as "I don't know him, but he's black, so he must be a thug" (in otherwords, prejudiced bullshit). Maybe I'm reading your statements more literally than you intended, but you really should take such things into consideration when posting on a public forum. If you don't know a soul there, how on earth do you know what any one of them cares about, muchless that all anyone there cares about is who to date or what club to join... And, of course, being that, when I was in high school, what club to join meant ecology club, french club, theatre club, etc., I really don't understand what you have against clubs... Unless you really are referring to cliques that call themselves clubs... But, to me, "club" refers to a group centered around a common interest, like participating in theatrical plays or a specific language and the associated culture.

    So, you want to go thru all of that hassle to go to a school where you know ONE person, & where you *have heard* that there are people of "your type", without even giving the new school a chance? Your parents must be far more indulgent than mine ever was -- my dad would have told me to at least find out what the hell I'm talking about (instead of making my choices based on prejudices) before even considering letting me go to such an extreme.

    My dad says the same thing too.

    Now look:My cousin's friend goes to the school that the "posers"go and she's told her that people of that kind go there.And so my cousin told me what her friend told her.Her friend actually is one of those I-can't-stand guys,but she thinks she isn't(anyway).She can't tell shit!I mean,she's not crazy!

    When I say "club"I mean dance club or bar or pub...Places where young people go to dance the latest bloody songs that are released.

    I'm a little bit "closed"to myself and I'm not very social.that's why I don't wanna go to a school where I don't know anybody.
