The other
Besides Lady Gaga..i mean someone that's actually serious with how they dress and not trying to look crazy on purpose. Like Linda Hogan and Brooke for example, they dress terrible for their body shapes and swear they look hot! All that tan spray and 80's blue eyeshadow and pink lipstick on Linda and that fried blonde hair..terrible!

How can I get survive American school?
bubblegumc
Firstly I'm Aussie a.k.a Australian girl. My mom is planning to move to New York (somewhere in the upper east side Manhattan) in this nice penthouse. My mums the CEO for a major corporation so money is not an issue. I am worried about the difference in the school system, In Australia we have primary school (grade prep -6) and secondary school (grade 7-12) have school uniforms and usually don't start dating until grade 10. But in American schools (correct me if I'm wrong) have elemen school, middle school and high school, get to wear whatever you want and wear make up and start dating in middle school. I don't know how I'm so post to act or wear or how other girls will treat me. If I need to buy any expensive clothing, books or make up, I am able to do that. Thanks!
PS we don't ride kangaroos to school and don't put shrimp on the barbie if you were wondering, I don't know we're it came from.(we don't even call them shrimp !)
Answer
As a Latina in college living in Los Angeles and having attended public school I can only imagine what your experience will be like. Living and going to school in the upper east side, I imagine your experience will be something like the show "Gossip Girl" . However, you being from Australia will make you stand out, I believe, in a positive way that will work to your benefit. To quote the film Twilight: "Oh, my God, it's like, the first grade all over again, you're the shiny new toy".
In my school, when ever their was a new student, especially if they were from overseas, my peers displayed great interest in getting to know them and being their friend. People will ask you stupid questions and make assumptions about because you are from Australia, however the same thing is true if you are from a different country or ethnicity (African American, Latina, Native Americans). Once they get to know you stereotypes will be set aside and dismissed.
Yes, in many public high school their is no uniform, however schools have dress codes about what you can and cannot wear although they tend to be very lenient. Jeans/Denium tend to be the norm here in LA although I'm not sure about schools in NY.
In my high school some girls began dating since freshmen year, others did not and even those that did not have boyfriends were still popular so don't feel pressured to have one.
As for make up, yes girls did begin wearing make up since middle school and almost all in high school. I did not. Some light eye shadow, with a hint of eyeliner & mascara, and lip gloss and you should be find you don't have to overd0 it.
If you want more information I suggest you hit the American Classic teen high school cult films. Although the really over dramatize the high school experience they do offer interesting insight into American schools. Here are some to help you get started: Ferris Bueller's day off, Mean Girls, Bring It On (all), A Cinderella Story, A Walk to Remember, Geek Charming, High School Musical, Easy A, 10 Things I Hate About You, Whatever It Takes, Cruel Intentions, The Breakfast Club, Clueless, Pretty In Pink, etc.
In time you find you clique of friends, however the worst case scenario will be that you may end being bullied. It happens and lots of fabulous beautiful celebrities like have been bullied. Your options can be either to move, but I suggest that if this happens you and your mother talk with the administrative staff, thanks to anti-bullying campaigns and suicides schools take this very seriously. On that note, I also suggest you read "13 Reasons Why" by Jay Asher just because its about a girl and the obstacles she faces fitting in. It was insightful and I learned a lot.
Good luck with your American high school experience and that it's more memorable than mine.
