<p>There will always be cliques, and even at your new school there will probably be a group of people the consider themselves “popular”. My best advice to you is to be yourself (cliche, I know). Think of this as a brand new opportunity to not necessarily reinvent yourself, but to escape the mold that everyone else at your old middle school put you in. At my high school, people automatically group you/judgement is rampant so it’s hard to go from one clique to another. As a result, I don’t get to actually be myself because I’m interacting with people that I’ve gone to school with for a long time, and they’d probably think I was psychotic if I changed.
Good luck!!</p>
