It will be good, Niko. I truly think you and your brother will be fine. It's normal to have worries or be nervous in a new school, not knowing anybody, and hoping to find true friends, as you said. I do think you will find a few at least. Peace came with this decision about this school after talking with the principal. Your brother, you and I will be touring the school tomorrow morning. You can ask any questions you have while we're touring, of course.

Hey, Servant of God, Nicholas -
welcome !
New schools can be rough (I've had experience with this a few times), but new school years at an old school can be rough too.
Sometimes it seems anything "new" seems rough; at least the first two weeks, and then (for me) it seems to get easier.
Just remember to trust God - the friend you've had for some time - and be ready to discover what He has in store for you in any situation.
God bless +

Thank you I really appreciate all you have said to me. The only main reason I am nervous is because of mainly friends. Back in RMCA I had a "friend" but he was a "backstabber".

People who are backstabbers are not true friends.
Pick your friends carefully. It is good to have a study buddy, but you do not want to be doing all the work nor footing the food bill.
If a person wants to share stories, food, and knowledge, then that is wonderful. Better is the person who believes in God and who does no evil. He will be the best friend.

This is going to be the most generic piece of advice that everyone always gives to kids, but it is the piece of advice I wish I had followed most when I was your age. Don't try to be something you aren't in order to fit in with other people. Friends come and go and schools come and go, but if someone is only going to be your friend if you change who you are or try to act cooler than other people, that person isn't worthy of your friendship. Follow Christ and be kind to others and you will do just fine. Praying for you and your bro.

Nikos,
Discourse analysis and psychological studies have shown that junior high and senior high school boys who are the most popular are also great story tellers. Guys like to listen to true stories that are suspenseful and funny. For example, when I was doing graduate work, I asked several popular students to tell me some events from their own lives. Two junior high school students, who were brothers very close in age, told me the story about their visit to a haunted house. It had suspense, lots of cliff hangers, and comedy too.
If you have not already done so, get a good binder with a zipper.
In it record all the humorous or inspiring stories that have happened to you or to members of your family. In addition, gather inspirational and true stories from the news media (being sure to cite the source).
Type these stories or copy them into a special computer document folder. Then print them out and store these in that binder. Read these stories every night before you go to bed, committing them to memory. When you are talking with your classmates, share some of these good wholesome stories embellishing them with tiny details which can add color and suspense to your story. The more you paint a picture for them with your words and phrases, the more real these stories can become.
Thus, you can be a great role model and help others by your inspirational stories.
In fact, if you want, you can start a story-telling thread here in TAW. I am sure it will be very popular.
