LIFE

 

My family just moved and I’m going to a new school.  People liked me at my old school, but I don’t know anyone here, and I don’t know how to act.

Dear New In Town,

It also helps to join after-school activities (e.g., chorus, student council, soccer) or community service activities (e.g., cleaning a park, helping at a soup kitchen, or participating in a sport outside school).  Working at things you like will put you in contact with people you like who will like you.
