How to make more friends at a new school in japan?!?
im half japanese half white, and im on exchange in japan. im 16. my japanese is fairly good, so its not the language barrier thats stopping me from making more friends. i got put in a class full of 15 year olds, and i feel a bit old for some reason... everyone at my new school knew who i was cz theres only one other exchange student in the school im going to now, and (not being conceited lol) lots of ppl would stare and say ``kawaiiiii`` abt me when i walked past -_- some people talked to me, but i want to make close friends, not just aquaintances. also, most the guys in my class dont really talk to me n seem intimidated while the senpai guys just straight up talk to me..wtf? help please... LMAO im half japanese u idiot. why dnt u try dissing ppl in real life instead of hiding behind ur computer?

You should ask your classmates about everything you don't know. They will be glad that they are relied on. If you are perfect, they may become jealous of you... Reveal your weak points.
2 :
From my experience when you need to ask how to make friends, you don't make any friend at all. By the way, if you are a fat, racist, stupid, poor, useless, struggling worthless piece of redneck, then you don't make any proper adequate Japanese friend because all of us don't want you to set your dirty smelly redneck foot on our clean, sophisticated, precious soil. Otherwise we all welcome you to our country.
3 :
Close friends won't happen so easily. It takes time, rather a lot of time, even if you are one of genuine natives. You are still stranger even though you think you are a fluent Japanese speaker and a half Japanese-blood. Don't be in a hurry for everything perfect but keep trying, for example, to have some common secret topics with possible mate(s) for making mutual fun or satisfaction.

How can I apply to Fashion school FIT in newyork if Im and american but go to school in japan.

How can I apply to Fashion school FIT in newyork if Im and american but go to school in japan.?
I am looking to transfer from my fashion institute school in japan to FIT, or Parsons. I am aware that there is ALOT of competition, I read the requirments and it said that Candidates are evaluated based on class rank, grades in college preparatory coursework and a student essay. on theyre website it also says they consider applicants with a grade point average of 3.0, But the thing is that japans grade system and USA is completely different, so I dont think my "grades" or "credit" are transferable. All I have is a portfolio and pictures of things I did in my class in Japan, but then again its all in japanese and written in kanji. I am not an international student, I am American and was born in america & went to highschool their but my other kind of academic documents are from japan (outside the US) and I also havent graduated yet from my fashion college in japan and as I said the grade system is different so the academic credits is not transferable. I want to get into fit, but the thing is that I also want to get a scholarship.... I just dont know what TO DO!!!! Agh!

FIT has a system that will evaluate your transcripts and see what credits you have will transfer. but there is a very big chance that a lot of them wont. I went to a community college in NY and took an Import Buying class. the professor who taught this class also worked at FIT, he used the same textbook, and taught it exactly the same way and FIT would not accept that credit. If you are going for any kind of design, there is a lot of competition and you have to have a perfect portfolio to get in. I was rejected 3 times and told my portfolio was weak.

Lots. But they don't speak English. The classes are held in Japanese. Consult any agents of exchange program for studying abroad in your country. The school season (1st semester) in Japan starts from April (Not Sep).

How Do I Convince My Mom To Let Me Go To High School In Japan

How Do I Convince My Mom To Let Me Go To High School In Japan?
I'm 15-years-old and I'll be a Sophomore in high school when school starts back up again. My dream has always been to live in Japan like my dad did, and to be better-prepared for it I want to go to an international High School in Japan. I've asked my mom about it dozens of times, but she always says how expensive it is and how she'll miss me. Sometimes she even laughs at me. She doesn't realize that I'm very serious about this and I want this more than anything... So my question is: How do I convince my mom to let me go to High School in Japan? Another thing is that I wouldn't mind staying with a host family...
