Question:
Well, I'm in year 9, about to go into year 10 in September. And I'm moving to a new school where almost everyone there dislikes me because I've been bad in the past. I want to show them I've changed, and I'd like to possibly make friends with them. Any advice? And any ideas on how to stay out of trouble?

My answer:
To make a good new impression one thing I suggest is before going up to them and saying hi, try to explore and find other friends, then in class and act the way you act now, in a good way so whenever you are communicating with other students and teachers make sure you make a good impression so when your other friends hear you they can know that you changed, then if you feel comfortable go up to them and say hi just in a normal way that you would. And if they don't believe that you have changed then I don't think you should really be friends with them.
