They’re just as afraid you won’t like them. Be yourself and it will be fine.

well yea some might but you have to realize everyone you meet wont like you and you wont like everyone you meet either. and umm maybe it is dangerous so maybe you should not ride the bus!

biggest mistake most new kids make:
acting shy
the kids can think you are stuck up
I know it doesn’t make sense,
but try acting as outgoing as you ever felt.
Don’t worry, your ears won’t fall off if they don’t fall in love with you on day one!
You probably need time to get to know them to!

Are you in danger when you are dropped off?
were you in private school first?
your question says public both times…
I really think you can’t worry over stuff out of your controll,
if you see a problem speak up to someone like your parents or teachers,
but otherwise,
coming from someone who went from private to public school,
it’s gonna seem scary
loosen up,
because they, for some reason, do not seem to know it is scary for you, they seem to want to know everything about you with no reservations.
You are more than capable of doing this,
just focus on being as outgoing as you have ever been, not fake mind you, just your most bubbly self, i hope that helps!
