Okay.I started first year in an all girls secondary school back in September,and it was stressful work. I don't know about the lads but for the girls we all had to get in with the popular group. To do so we had to make a good first impression. On the first day I met up with my friends about a mile down from the school. From there we walked up to the school all reassuring each other we looked great! Hair tied into a neat bun,tie choking my neck and skirt perfectly sitting just above my knee I was convinced I was ready for the first day of secondary school. That was until I walked in the door and saw everyone else. There hair wasn't neat it was prettily tied back into a 'messy bun', there ties weren't choking their necks in fact their ties were hardly visible and their skirts were just covering their backsides! I have to look like everyone else I thought to myself. I ran off to the bathroom which was equipped with a full length mirror. I rolled my heavy navy skirt way up, then pulled my tie down under my navy v-neck jumper so as it was no longer visible, then threw my hair back into a 'messy bun' so as though it looked as I had put no effort into it! I ran back towards to main hall where I took my seat beside my friends. Our year head.principal.deputy principal and head girl all addressed us. We received our lockers [which were tiny] and were given our classes. There were 116 girls starting first year that day. We were split into four classes 1A,1B,1C,1D. Unfortunately I was not in a class with any of my friends so I was very disappointed. My two best friends got put in the same class which really bothered me! They were thrilled with their class and said they heard everyone saying 1D[their class] was the best and most popular class in 1st year. I went home and just cried! It was nothing how my first day in secondary school was supposed to go! In my head I was supposed to look amazing, I was supposed to be in a class with my two best friends,I was supposed to become really popular. None of that happened! I was certainly not looking forward to the next day. I went back in the next day. Day by day things started to get easier. All the first years had to wear name badges! We continuously kept getting lost around the school but the teachers understood. I gradually began to make new friends and become happier in my new school, Finally it was Halloween and we got 1 week off school. By the time we got back everyone was officially settled in secondary school. You may think that's great, but this is when sh!t started to unfold. Now that everyone was comfortable the popularity contest begun! There was back stabbing,name calling,judging...etc.
One of my closet friends got in on top! She was friends with everyone! Everyone wanted to talk to he.sit beside her and hang out with her. Of course this hurt me because now she was being not as nice to me and had less time for me. It made me extremely angry and upset but I said nothing about it and continued on.1st year is just a really difficult time and I'd love if some people shared their experiences with me? Thank you :]
