It's always exciting when a new girl comes to your school. Admit it. Everyone is interested in being her friend, showing her the ropes, being the one she confides in. You and your friends are just aching to get a glimpse of her new house, her wardrobe, her parents. You're curious about her old neighborhood and can't wait to fill her in on all the do's and don't in your school society. You want to be her friend, right?
Well, the best way to make friends with her is...leave her alone!
There is an age-old myth echoing through the halls of every middle school and high school. It's the one that goes something like this: a new girl moves into the neighborhood and all she wants is to be the center of attention. During the very first week of the new girl's life in her new school, she dreams of being bombarded with new faces, questions, and advice. Right? Wrong!
On the contrary, the new girl in school wants you to take it slow. Sure she wants to make friends but you need to understand that coming into a new school is an unbelievably stressful, confusing time for a teen. Your new girl needs time to adjust and find her way around.
