Good luck with the band. If they still make school principals the way the used to, your chances of playing with your band at school are very slim, and would probably help very little with getting respect from other people. The band is something that can help you respect yourself, and give you confidence and a feeling that you belong to a talented group of people.

It’s all about finding where you fit in with other people.

Whoa whoa whoa, that’s being way to paranoid. Just hang out with your normal friends from the grade before, and if anyone calls you names, ignore them. Report to the teachers if it gets to be to much trouble.

Devil Side:

Call them names back, and if they start a fight, go for it. They’ll know you won’t be an easy target, even if you get beat up. More experience as well, for HighSchool. More points if you win, they won’t want to deal with you.

You might get suspended or expelled though, so think thoroughly before you do anything.

Be yourself. That is always something to live by+>!<+
