Going away next week...

I'm going on a geography trip next week. I don't like/get along with anyone on the trip particularly and think that i'll be sat on the coach on my own, the only one, and be in a room with a load of people that i don't know. I'm not good and making friends.
I'm not looking forward to the week at all.
I really don't want to go :frown:

were is the trip to?

and dont worry about it, im sure there are others in the same situation as urself and everyone will be more then willing to gel as a team especially as i guess you are at least in 6th form or above people are very mature in these situations.

yeah i went away for a week with my fellow geographers who all seemed to have 1 good friend apart from me. just talk to them about the weather or something related to what your field trip is about to break the ice eg "wow isn't that a pretty river?" (all geographers love to talk about it!!!!!) then start to chat about what else they're studying/rumours going round/mutual friends etc etc. Worked for me. Good look and chill out-you'll have a great time!!!! xx

Got the room sorted today. I'm with a load of people i know, but don't like. I dont know how many time teabagging has been mentioned but i can guarantee that it'll happen to me (the sad ******** are on about taking pics aswell :frown:

I cant change the room either.
Practical jokes are something that i'll have to get used to, they all love them, dont get me wrong, i can take a joke but when it gets excessive its just plain ridiculous.
I have a feeling i'm not going to get to sleep till three or four, oh its going to be fun.
The people i'm with are on about going to a pub or something and bringing some drink, as it is a Sixth Form trip and we are 17, its not allowed.
I am not looking forward to this at all.
Oh and the trips to Swanage, get to see Old Harry, Ha! :biggrin:

Being female I guess I don't really have any good advice for those particular situations.

Lads "will be lads" though and always appear to enjoying picking on those who appear weaker than themselves. Try and keep a brave face but don't let them know that their jokes are getting to you. If you show that it bothers you, they will only make things worse for you :frown:

I'm sorry that's all I have.

Whatever you do don't make it look like you don't like practical jokes and definitely dont ask them not to make jokes. I must admit that if I knew someone didn't like practical jokes I would involve them in one. Honestly though don't worry about it. it's just a bit of fun. If it's anything like me and my mates it's nothing malicous. Try and enjoy yourself, loosen up maybe sneak to the pub if they go.

I can take the jokes, but sometimes they can just take it one step too far and thats when it gets to me.
What can i say, they just probably laugh at me.
It never is malicious, it can just get ****ing irritating at 4.00 in the morning. :frown:

Don't go. If you feel you will be harrassed and you haven't got the strength of courage to tell them to go and **** themselves, then stay at home.

just go - don't back out because you've gotta face up to things like this at some point.
if not now then probably later on in life.
