<p>Hi everyone. I am a rising sophomore in high school, and I'm having a little problem. I am a basketball player, and love basketball. A local private high school has a top 10 program... and Im thinking about contacting the coach only because of my other situation. At my high school now, i dont have many friends. There are a few kids who i absolutely HATE! and they are the "popular kids" and now I think that everyone at school doesn't like me. I am very driven, and I try very hard, and I think the kids dont like me because of this. I am often called a nerd, and people think im an awful athlete... even tho I think i am a very good one. I run a 4.9, 30" vertical, etc. Do you think i should transfer to that private school? I hate my school, only because of the kids. I just dont like coming to school only cuz of the kids. I literally shake every time i walk by their group. And the sad thing is that a couple of years ago... i was one of those"popular kids". I just began focusing on school, while they all got into drugs. I mean i could get over a few kids not liking me... but i m beginning to think its everyone. They r REALLY mean... to the point where i am bout to cry,,, nd honestly i dont cry often. I am also very self conscious sooo. And, I wont b able to hold any leadership positions at school because nobody will vote for me because of those kids. Example. I was on the freshman board this year. and i ran for next year and lost... there were 6 kids running for 5 spots... and the 6th kid wasnt even there for her speech,,, but of course... shes popular. However, if i do transfer to the private school... i would most likely not start on the bball team... and have to struggle to make the team... however that will only make me work harder. PLEASE HELP! should i transfer??</p>
<p>We have the same vertical, you’re a girl right?</p>
<p>no im a boy. and its 30 inches btw</p>
<p>I think you should transfer. But dont take my opinion. I just think that you will succeed more where you are comfortable and not stressed out. Also, private schools tend to be better academically.</p>
<p>Yea, how tall are you?</p>
<p>5’10" 10 char</p>
<p>you don’t want to be somewhere where you’re unhappy. that’s going to take a mental toll on you in the long run and when you look back at high school, you want to reflect upon it positively. after all, you are spending 4 years there. it probably is best for you to just switch since you should be at the place that gives you more success. Some people are going to be nasty, but just keep staying strong and sticking to your goals.</p>
<p>Lol I read that completely wrong but that’s pretty good, how long have you been at 30"?</p>
<p>
Good for you!</p>
<p>haahahahah</p>
