New Girl, New School

The wonderfully designed expensive high school. She approached with a graceful apprehension. The teens there on that rich autumn day,had grown up together. But, she..from the big city? Not welcomed to this suburban nation. They stood in groups with almost familial jocularity. Not she, who wanted to run as she had no popularity. .................Poor little lamb!................... What teen has not experienced feeling out of place! It took her quite awhile to grow past being shy. And she developed her own special friends by and by. In all groups, the story seems sadly the same. It's run by leaders, sometimes with arrogance What a shame! In life, she gets to relive high school all over again! March 18, 2020 2pm PsT

Well worded, changing schools can be quite stressful.

So true! My daughter was great...they tried to figure out what group she belonged to, because she didn’t choose friends that way.
