I've seen heaps of movies, read lots of books
that seem to deem being a "new kid" at a school
something to be feared.
People shun them, victimize them and/or whatnot.
Here in this forum, I see newbies picked on a few times.
(Once again, GD is cast into light in the manner of a high-school.
Butwtf that's not my discussion.)
But this is not how I see it~
Whenever there has been a new kid at the schools I've been to,
They are welcomed, and even if it takes days for them to find some friends and fit in, they're never really shunned.

Your experience as a newbie~ Online/IRL.
Are American high-schools really that brutal, or is it just the media?
Is it, for a lack of a better word, a trend (lol trend) that may occur in certain regions? o.o
What is it like for newcomers at your school?
