So today students across the country are back to school; yay! But perhaps it isn’t such fun after all considering how in life some experiences are exhilarating to some and utterly depressing to others. If you’re lucky enough to be the happening kid, you will certainly be the centre of attraction in your class. That way, life is nothing but fun. Unfortunately, this is not always the case for most others. Read up below to find out some of the awkward situations some students face in school. Focus is on the New Comer.
WHEN YOU’RE THE NEW COMER! New Comers are usually treated unjustly. Unless you’re some kind of celebrity, people in your new class will always treat you differently especially for the first few days/weeks of your arrival. Your new mates will keep assessing you to determine whether you are odd, dumb, “not hip enough”, over confident/arrogant, or simply not qualified to belong. Trust me, this can make for a very awkward situation; hellish in fact! And in my subsequent post I am going to talk about how you can cope assuming you find yourself in such awkwardness. Moving on…
WHEN YOU ARE TRYING SO HARD TO BEFRIEND SOMEONE BUT THEY ARE JUST TOO DAMN SERIOUS! In some schools (especially those rich kids’ schools), it can be extremely difficult to make new friends. Most of the old students will rather prefer to maintain their close circle of friends also known as clicks and as such, all your attempts to befriend someone are usually futile and end in embarrassment. How can you cope in such a situation? Well just bear in mind that there is always someone out there who is just perfect for you. Keep looking until you find them.
WHEN YOU ARE NOT VERY PRETTY! Let’s speak clear; sometimes you find yourself surrounded by people who are way finer than you are. These people can be just too fine so much so that even when they are sad or shedding tears, they remain too cute to behold. Being in the midst of such people can be quite the rude-awakening of just how ugly you are. How to cope? Well just constantly remind yourself that you are fearfully and wonderfully made!
WHEN THE TEACHER ASKS YOU A QUESTION AND YOU DON’T KNOW JACK! So let’s assume you are that new kid in class and you aren’t exactly Miss/Mr. World. You have no friends and the whole new school experience has so far been hell. You’ve tried to operate low key in all your ways, avoiding confrontations and all. But then one day in class the teacher asks you a question to which you know nothing about. In response, you are like- Ehm…okay! Just push me off the window let me die already!
WHEN YOUR MUM DECIDES TO PUNISH YOU BY PACKING BEANS IN YOUR LUNCH PACK! So let’s assume once again that you have managed to acclimatize yourself to the new school and perhaps even made a few new friends. But you aren’t exactly the elephant in the room yet. So one day during lunch you realize that your mum packed beans in your lunch pack. I mean come on…beans aren’t exactly cool! And as you open the pack you discover that the thing is already stinking up in some funny ways. What to do, what to do! You are damn hungry and beside you your new friends are eating chicken and chips. Chai! Don’t worry I wish you all the best.
WHEN YOUR CRUSH BEATS YOU UP! So there is this girl who has become the centre piece of your entire world. But the sad thing is that she doesn’t even have the slightest idea that you exists. One day after over thinking it, you finally decide to talk to her. But she isn’t exactly flattered when you do. If anything, she is infuriated, so much to the extent that she slaps you across the face and calls you a jerk; just another reason to go back to being the odd one out. Congratulations, boy.

WHEN YOU ARE BULLIED! Okay, this is like the worst! Ever since you came to the same you’ve been nothing but weird. Your reputation in this regard precedes you, and all along the bullies have been taking note. Finally, they have the perfect reason to make the experiences even worse. And here is the truth- being bullied in school is like the worst thing that can happen to you. Most kids deal with this challenge on a daily basis. I feel very sorry for you if you’ve ever been bullied just as I feel very angry with any student who ever bullies another student…
There is so much to talk about bullying- how to prevent it, how to manage it and how to overcome it. It can be quite the epistle to write about! And that is why I will reserve the topic for another day…soon! In the meantime, have a great first day in school, stay focused, be confident and enjoy yourself. You shall read from me soonest.
