treat them just like you treat girls.

Just be yourself. I went to a co-ed school for 7 yrs and now I go to an all-girls school. Its pretty much the same. Just stick up for yourself, be confident, cheerful and happy!! Keep smiling : )

i'm from australia i have heaps of friends who have been in the same situation as you except they came to australia this is why i would never send my child to a single sex school it'll be weird at the start i guess talk to them as much as possible and soon they'll be just like any other friend and dont be nervous, they're not going to judge you badly; you're cool cos you're from oz lol they're gonna be really intrigued lol but i really have no idea, good luck lol EDIT: ok so the smoking guy really did not help and for that dance thing just say yeh i'll go with someone, i just dont know who yet and dont get peer pressured into doing crap like smoking chances are they'll actually respect you for being strong enough to say no

Act yourself. Treat the guys like your friends, or like you treat girls (not LIKE girls, but you get what I mean.) If you act more confident towards them, and talk to them more casually, you should earn their respect and boost your self esteem. :)

As you can see boys your age are a bunch of 5 year old. There is really not much for you to know about them but what you saw today. Stay cool with them, respect them and ignore them. They are very curious about you, the way you look is different from them and the way you dress and your clothing is amusing to them. The best you can do is get a strong friendship with at least one girl. You must be careful whom do you select since girls your age play jealous and evil immature games. So, get into a group of 4 girls during lunch time so you can always have a back up friend. Also, you must always go where there is a responsible adult that cares for you. Latin America is well know for kidnapping, don't be afraid just be aware that you can't trust everybody. Sense of humor is big in Latin America and you will enjoy some jokes and some others will sound ridiculous, don't worry in a year or 2 you will get their good sense of humor. Enjoy your wonderful experience: aprende a hablar Espanol pronto. Buena suerte amiga!
