My best friends are along for the ride.. Like 4 of them are transferring with me to another school along with 15-20 other people that are going to our schools, are we gknna be the new kids who everyone is gonna try to befriend? Plus that school everyone knows each other a lot already! :O are new kids really that interesting??
Answer
Yes, new kids in a school are always interesting to others. Here are some tips about making friends in a new school:
Make sure you are kind to whoever you meet at the new school. Make sure to be nice to everyone of all cultures and backgrounds. If you think that you will say something that will make them feel sad do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also always remember to be as kind and as helpful as possible!
Take a deep breath. You shouldn't be nervous, you're going to a new school, not to torture. Remember that in your new school you will find kids your age. You're going to meet people who like you there. Don't judge others before you get to know them.
Be yourself. Never change who you are to try and fit in. If your friends don't accept you for you, they're not really friends. Most people belong with a certain clique simply because they are being themselves and their unique personalities and interests falls into that stereotype. For example, someone who is naturally athletic may become a jock in high school or someone who naturally artistic or emotional may become part of the emo crowd. Many people can tell you are a fake. Don't try too hard.
Be inviting. A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don't hunch over your books or keep your eyes on the floor. Stick your chin up and make eye contact with other people. If you see someone you know, give a smile or say hi. Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you're from. Ask a question: "How's the cafeteria food around here?" Chat about the new school: "How long have you gone to this school?" or even a compliment "I love your shoes, where did you get them?"
Make the first move. Anywhere, in the bathroom, near your locker, or at the water fountain, you can find someone that has things in common with you, all you need is to know how to approach them. Strike up a conversation, smile and compliment them, and, of course, introduce yourself and tell them where you came from! You never know where you can find a nice friend.
Remember their names. People like it when you call them by name, but they can get annoyed if they don't remember. Ask them gently if they have a nickname. You'd be surprised where this can come in handy.
Do something wonderful for someone. Save someone a seat. Say "hi" in the hall. Give congratulations for a job well done. Pay a compliment: "I love your shoes/backpack" It can make wonders.
Join after school activities you like. Choir or theater or hang around for a French club meeting, etc. Even if you don't know anyone there, you'll all share a common interest, and you can experience with different personalities from yours that have the same interest!
Figure out who the "mean girls" or the "hot-headed jocks" are. These are the people that you might want to avoid for a while. Don't be mean to them and don't completely avoid them, because who knows, they may be nice people! Also stay away from the types that are in gangs and do criminal activities. You need to be yourself. Be strong. And don't try to please everyone around you if it doesn't please you.

is it legal for teachers to look through kids backpacks?
kmanceltic
ok so there have been a few times when i am at school (middle school) and i have seen teachers look through peoples backpacks without even asking or even telling the kids that they need to look through their bags. and i was wondering if it is legal for teachers to look through kids backpacks
Answer
The supreme court has already looked at this. Schools are unique places.
New Jersey v. T.L.O. (1985) - Students have a reduced expectation of privacy in school.
there is a lower standard for searches than it applies in the criminal context
It is *not* probable cause - all is needed is a "reasonable suspicion" that a school rule has been broken.
So yes - it is legal.
