Run!!!\n\nJK....\n\nI'd definitely try to avoid her, and if it gets really bad, you need to talk to somebody--parents or teachers.  You shouldn't have to go through that at school.

Worry less about appearance.\nWork harder at school.\nFigure out sooner that the people in charge don't necessarily know what they're doing.\nTake charge of my life more, be more assertive.\nRealize sooner that, just because it's always been done that way, doesn't mean that it has to keep being done that way.

Girls are fickle. Start by introducing yourself. If she goes to your school, ask her what classes she has.

I know it is easier said, but first try power of silence. It worked for me.  Once you enter into the classroom, you simple have to take charge, stand in front of the class and do not move or say anything until you get total attention of all the students.\n\nSilence is powerful. It took the student about 15 minutes before I got complete silence.  The teacher next door ran to the principal requesting that I be employed full time and this was what they did. The vacancy resulted because the last two teachers for this class could not take it no more and gave up the plan book never to return.   \n\nSecond lay down you class rule.  I had one rule: If you want to stay, you must obey.\n\nThird, inform them that you will have phone numbers, address, and emails to make contact with their parents and guardians.\n\nAlso so not call on anyone in your class to do something before giving them advance notice or before you know them individually. I had an 11th grade student who acted up in class only when students were asked to read in class.  Why? The student could not read and did anything to avoid called upon to read.  So get to know your students. \n\nFinally ask each student to write something about them self and turn it in to you. If it is the lower class ask them to say it while you take time to write what they say.  Now that you are in control, you can teach, not baby sit.

talk to some of the girls who are already cheerleaders there... i think they have certain routines that the group uses and u have to show that u can do them .. and i think u have to come up with one of your own routines--<or at least that's what my wife told her little sister last year when she tried out>--

first: pray hard\n\nsecond: teach your child confidence and skills to help her protect and defend herself and make sure she feels safe to tell you about anything and everything.\n\nthird: stay involved. Know what is going on in her school, talk to the teacher, principle, school nurse etc. now and whenever you have a concern and be aware of the curriculum\n\nfourth: pick a good school, find out what schools around you are the best and try to get your daughter into one. If you are not zoned for a good school you may be able to get a variance.\n\nFinally: if you still feel concerned you could consider homeschooling for a while, but remember in your child's age group problems like you have described are extremely unlikley. Hope this helps

You'll survive. You'll meet people in your classes, and get to know people, and make friends. Even if your shy, you'll find people. I went to a high school that had over 3000 students. You only notice that at assemblies because the rest of the time, you are in classes of about 30 students. Relax, it'll be fun, and you'll make friends.

If someone followed me into the bathroom I'd make a joke out of it, like, "Oh hi! Do you have to go too? What a coincidence!" Or ask them to pass you the toilet paper. \nMean, scary people--stay away. \nTwo-faced people--are at EVERY high school. Ask yourself, what makes them that way? It is their own insecurity and trying too hard to fit in with too many people. If you are confident in yourself and kind to everyone, then it doesn't matter what anyone says to you or about you. Maybe you have heard this a hundred times already. . .but it really is true. As you get older, everyone mellows out and guess what, gets nicer. Really. High school kids can be totally cruel and mean. But if you can rise above it you will be two steps ahead of them. \nI was so shy in high school. I was always kicking myself for the things people said to me and the things I WISH I had said to them (come backs). But now I realize that if I had been more sure of myself I would have definitely had more friends, and I wouldn't have been hurt by the silly things people said (and sometimes they didn't really mean any harm). \nHigh school is a fake world. Whoever is important there will probably never be important again. Whatever happens or is said will be totally forgotten after a year or so. \nMaybe you should try to find friends outside of school, like a mentor or youth group. \nAnd if you smile and say good morning to your teachers you'll find not all of them are so bad. I am sorry if you have bitter losers for teachers. Look at them as if you were their same age. Would you still see them in the same way? Or would you have some sympathy for them?\nTry to get the best education you can. If you have to join some class outside your high school, then so be it. \nWhen I remember being in high school I don't recall it being especially fun. The years immediately following--college and after that--were about a MILLION times better. I don't even think I had many friends in high school. I had one, but she drove me crazy. And then maybe 2 other girls that were younger than me. That was it!! But I did have a couple teachers who were totally cool. I will never forget them, and I'll never forget some of the things we studied, books we read, etc. \nI just kept going and things went totally uphill from then on out. Do not quit!

Talk to the principal of the school.  I'm sure they can arrange something.\n\nSue them if they don't see things your way.

Some of these tips are critical during your first weeks, while the others are meant for longer-term guidance and survival. Whatever you do, be sure to be yourself and try to enjoy your college experience as much as possible. Expect to feel some stress and homesickness, but don't let these issues wear you down. \n\nGo to all orientations. Do you really need to go on yet another campus tour? Yes. The faster you learn your way around campus -- and around all the red tape -- the more at ease you'll feel and the better prepared you'll be when issues arise. \n\nGet to know your roommate and others in your residence hall. The people you live with, most of whom are going through similar experiences and emotions, are your main safety net -- not only this year, but for all your years. You may change roommates after the first semester or you may stay roommates for all four years -- just take the time to get to know your fellow first-year students. \n\nGet Organized. In high school, the teachers tended to lead you through all the homework and due dates. In college, the professors post the assignments -- often for the entire semester -- and expect you to be prepared. Buy an organizer, a PDA, a big wall calendar -- whatever it takes for you to know when assignments are due. \n\nFind the ideal place for you to study. It may be your dorm room or a cozy corner of the library, but find a place that works best for you to get your work done -- while avoiding as many distractions as possible. \n\nGo to class. Obvious, right? Maybe, but sleeping in and skipping that 8 am class will be tempting at times. Avoid the temptation. Besides learning the material by attending classes, you'll also receive vital information from the professors about what to expect on tests, changes in due dates, etc. \n\nBecome an expert on course requirements and due dates. Professors spend hours and hours preparing course syllabi and calendars so that you will know exactly what is expected of you -- and when. One of the lamest excuses a student can give a professor: "I didn't know it was due today." \n\nMeet with your professors. Speaking as a professor, I can assure you there are only upsides to getting to know your professors, especially if later in the semester you run into some snags. Professors schedule office hours for the sole purpose of meeting with students -- take advantage of that time. \n\nGet to know your academic adviser. This is the person who will help you with course conflicts, adding or dropping courses, scheduling of classes for future semesters, deciding on majors and minors. This person is a key resource for you -- and should be the person you turn to with any academic issues or conflicts. And don't be afraid of requesting another adviser if you don't click with the one first assigned to you. \n\nSeek a balance. College life is a mixture of social and academic happenings. Don't tip the balance too far in either direction. One of my favorite former students always used to say her motto was to "study hard so she could play hard." \n\nGet involved on campus. A big problem for a lot of new students is a combination of homesickness and a feeling of not quite belonging. A solution? Consider joining a select group -- and be careful not to go overboard -- of student organizations, clubs, sororities or fraternities, or sports teams. You'll make new friends, learn new skills, and feel more connected to your school. \n\nStrive for good grades. Another obvious one here, right? Remember the words of the opening paragraph; while good grades could have come naturally to you in high school, you will have to earn them in college -- and that means setting some goals for yourself and then making sure you work as hard as you can to achieve them. \n\nTake advantage of the study resources on campus. Just about all colleges have learning labs and tutors available. If you're having some troubles, these resources are a

it depends on situation, environment and many other things\nits not that co-ed are bad.\nby studying in a co-ed primary school one gain confidence more over you gain feeling that you can stand by with each other wheather it is a boy or a girl.\ni am not saying that by studying in a all girls school you will not gain the confidence but BUT by studying in a co-ed school you will make your niece to stand in any situation. \nby studying in co-ed she learns more human behaviour of men.\ni will say that you must definitely send you niece to a co-ed primary school.

Smile but don't be too cheesy... hit your motions, make sure they are tight and sharp. Make sure you are in the front to learn the dance and/or cheer... don't be afraid to ask questions... wear your school colors... remember you are there to try-out so socialize afterwards...work on the learned material at home... and relax!! If you mess up keep going because I have given people points for messing up but not stopping... it looks pretty bad if you panic... lastly have fun!!! Good Luck

Get organized. U won't be able to do anything without knowing what is goign on. Study for a least an hr. a day, and if u don't get the material, get a tutor they help a lot. Also if ur school has any after-school clubs that help kids that are having trouble join! Take notes in class, and I know that this is sort of boring because ur teachers probably drone on about something that u think isn't important, but that will probably be in the exam, try to listen to ur teachers. Cancel all plans with friends because u need to pass or ur future is down the toilet. Make sure u study a lot (even on weekends!) I hope u pass the exams I know they are SUPER hard, but I sure do hope this helps. Don't worry a lot of people go thru the same thing u ar going thru right now! If u need any help, use Yahoo Answers there is a lot of people out there that want ot help (like me)!

Make an effort to learn people's names(something I'm really bad at) and greet them in the halls. Join a club, go to your school dances, be nice and helpful with everyone. Make a goal to learn 1 person's name a day. If you're really shy, start off with small conversations. Getting involved at school really helps a lot. I met so many new people when I joined my school's choir. Above all, if you're afraid, just swallow your fear and meet people. Don't wait for them to meet you. You'll eventually make some friends. Good luck!
