Being The New Kid Analysis

Have you ever been in a situation when a group of people are treating a friend badly because of a weakness at athletics or another activity? In “The New Kid” and “That’s What Happened To Me”, the main characters are both made fun of because they are different than their other peers. In “That’s What Happened To Me”, written by Michael Fessier, the main character, Bottles, is made fun of because he has to work which causes him not to be able to play after school sports. Bottles is very idealistic and likes to think of himself as a very talented athlete but he is not able to prove his ability.

I 'm scared to start over so maybe that 's why I am not going out of my way to make new friends. I tell myself that I should just focus on school, but I know it 's my anxiety telling me that I won’t be accepted. I chose to talk about this experience because this is something i am experiencing now and I knew once i talked about it, I could start making progress to being happy st this school. I don’t really understand why people don’t seem to like but I think it’s just because they don’t know me yet. Ive realized that friends aren 't just going to fall into my lap and I 've already started to sign up for a few clubs so hopefully some good will come from it.

When I was in elementary school and living in Hungary for a year, I had a friend who was very physical and violent with me starting the first day of school. When we went on our first overnight trip at the beginning of the year, she would hit me when the teachers weren’t looking, and make fun of me for not being able to speak Hungarian correctly. She would talk badly about me behind my back, and purposefully make fun of me because I was still learning how to speak Hungarian, while the other kids and even the teachers watched in silence. I still haven’t forgiven her to this day because she made that year really hard for me. She made fun of me when she knew I was having a hard time living in a new country.

Sports are healthy and great for a student to be playing and represent the school they go to. Sports are fun and I personally recommend people to play them; however, focus on education first. Most schools use a system where if a student is ineligible if he/she has an E in any class. If they are ineligible then they do not get to play in the sport they are in until the get a passing grade. This is a good system that schools use to make students get a passing grade in order for them to play. However, this system is used all the time with multiple students and its working, but it repeats all the time. Most students just want a passing grade, so if a student goes from an E to a D- it's a good thing, however, it will not make the school rank higher

Should not be charged Young,and dumb. Alonze Thomas robbed a store when he was 15,because he was told to,and he got 13 years,even though nobody got killed. When Juveniles commit violent crimes they should not be charged as an adult,because they are to young,there brain is not fully developed,and they are easily influenced. Juveniles should not be charged as adults,because they are to young.

He says how Lamar is the voice of those in his community. He describes how he becomes the voice of deceased friend and a women distressed by her sister’s life as a prostitute. Lamar responds to the people talking about community responsibility in those situations.

I was the new kid, but I do not know why adults always made it seem scary and confusing. I loved being the new kid because it was so much easier to make new friends. Everyone asked me questions about Florida and it gave me the opportunity to start a conversation. It is a lot easier to make new friends when people are used to change and moving around. Children become more outgoing and open. Kids that move to new schools should be very involved and participate in school activities. I used to have a jazz dance class after school with all

I was a very shy kid. Making friends wasn’t my cup of tea when I was younger. Based on this you can imagine how nervous I was when we moved. Joseph Campbell wrote in The Hero With a Thousand Faces, “It is only when a man tames his own demons that he becomes the king of himself if not of the world.” I was preparing to start school again in August when I decided it would be smart to begin associating with kids my age in the area; so, I began spending time with my cousin Lief. After spending some time with Lief, he introduced me to some of his friends and taught me to how to appreciate

The school bus was a cesspool of all sorts of not-so -nice things. I had a very strict bus driver, and a couple of my friends and I made quite a bit of noise, so the bus driver split us up, assigning me a seat with the 8th graders. It was like waving a baby in front of a pit-bull, and I got destroyed. The girls were nice enough but those 8th grade boys really enjoyed calling me all sorts of various male genitalia-based names that I probably shouldn’t repeat here. It was my first experience as a bullying victim, and I was determined to make it my

Some questions such as, "Are you still a kid?" or "Are you happy?" Sound quite easy to answer because they're 3 or 4 words, but that's not the point. If you were to think about these questions long and hard, you would realize that the simplicity of their words presumes to very difficult answers. Whether they're paragraphs long or you say "your fine" or "I'm okay," there is always something more. Don't assume someone's ignorance if they don't want to inform you what's wrong, they just don't want to bring it up half the

High school is quite the barrel of laughs, if I do say so myself. I don’t have many friends. Never really have. I ride the bus alone, I work on projects alone, I eat lunch alone, and I go home alone. My mom says I should be with the other kids more, problem is I don’t really like them. Most I dislike from the start and the others well, let’s just say I’m not popular. So I don’t mind being alone. Alone is safe and comfortable. Alone never changes and if I’m alone who could I possibly hurt. Only

I remember the first days of hare were really rough. I remember sitting alone by the classrooms and in all my classes I felt like If i wasn’t ever going to get accepted by others. I would tend to isolate myself from my peers by sitting in the far back. Then weeks passed so i started hanging with two of my friends giovanni and jason. Although i still didn’t feel like if i was accepted in this environment. Even until now i sometimes don’t feel accepted and choose to just listen to music and talk once in awhile with couple of friends. It has impacted me because it just makes me feel like I really don’t have a certain friend to have my back. I just don’t feel like I have friends that I could count on, like the ones I had in my

Searching for a fresh group of friends only got more and more difficult as the years passed; it left me depressed, and I remained lonely the majority of high school. Finding a solution to my problem seemed nearly impossible. Everybody already had their set group of friends and people that they associated with. Trying to become a part of the cliques that were already set and stone always came with an obstacle. The teenagers at my high school are not typically open to change, they like everything to be the way they are used to it being and are not willing to welcome new additions to their lives. Considering all of the previous factors, I decided that attempting to place myself in groups that have already been established was not going to benefit me in any way.

I’ve been in school for 13 years of my life ,i grew up with most of the same kids; We were a huge family almost, everyone always looked out for eachother.  I was participating in a lot  activities. Since the beginning of freshman year, I participated 3 years of color guard, i met new people with the same interest as me. Almost every friday we had a football game and Saturday's was our competition days; we all bonded as a section when we all got ready and did each others makeup. Then,
