<p>If you were someone who didn't have many friends and did not fit in too well into High School life, even though there isn't anything really wrong with you, will college people not show you respect because you weren't 'cool' in high school? Will they look at your facebook history and see that you didn't get the girls and therefore show you less respect than they show other people who were socially-successful in HS?</p>
<p>I'm not overly stressing i just wanna know if college is gona be a completely brand new start, where nobody cares about who u were in high school.</p>
<p>Basically you are going to be the same person, just surrounded by different people, which is somewhat of a new start. I’m not exactly sure how you would use facebook to investigate someone’s history, aside from looking at all their photos, but I really don’t think anyone would use that as a reason not to respect you.</p>
<p>Btw, some of your phrasing makes you sound like a ■■■■■.</p>
<p>My older brother didn’t have many good friends in high school, and he hated it a lot. He just started his sophmore year at college and LOVES it and has a lot of really great friends.</p>
<p>You can have a fresh start in college, but their surely are cases where people stay the same.</p>
<p>Your high school social life will probably follow you in that you’ll be a little weird because you haven’t been having normal social interactions. This is okay so long as you act appropriately and allow yourself to meld into the community that is forming around you. As for people investigating your facebook to see how few friends you had… nobody is going to do that.</p>
<p>I’m a normal guy and I have some friends but I don’t have any friends that are considered like ‘cool people’ in high school. And while many people have pictures of them drinking and hanging out with girls, i dont.</p>
<p>If these pictures of your classmates drinking and with girls are on facebook, you should take some satisfaction in that these people are insanely stupid. Why in the world would you post a self-incriminating photo on the internet where anyone could see it? I think the whole popularity thing dissolves after hs though, well, I guess it would depend on what college you go to.</p>
<p>usually colleges are too large for things like popularity to really take a huge effect. when you’re with a relatively small group of peers, that’s when popularity has the strongest effect. if there were more than a thousand college freshmen, do you honestly think that some sort of social hierarchy would form? because for popularity to be effective, hierarchy has to be made (haha ew I sound like im talking about ancient egyptians or something)</p>
<p>most college kids do seek a fresh start, just like you, so they won’t be holding any grudges against you just because you weren’t a drinker or something. unless you decide to do some pretty nasty things or just stay in your dorm all year, i’ve heard that your dormmates become your best buddies (not so hard to believe; you do live with these people after all)</p>
