Topic: A first day at school

I still remember my first day at that new high school, and I used to the same friends in my little
elementary school. That day I felt so small, so insecure, with fear, I don't know what, but with a lot
of fear. Besides that it was difficult for me to socialize, the stress did not allow me to concentrate,
that day I remember as a long and anguishing day, I think it is the first day that you face the real
world, with some puberty on top and understanding fears, that suddenly before I did not
understand.

Now when I send my son to class that first day, I understand how he might feel. Of course I know
that times are different and that the internet, the chat room, and all that prepare them differently.
But now bullying is also stronger in these times, and I think I have to make an effort not to convey
my fears to him, and on the contrary fill him with security.

That first day is essential, as it is the first impression that he is going to make on his classmates, so
I prepared myself, I told him to be simple and sociable, to smile without being exaggerated, that if
he was made fun of, he would not take it seriously and remember that he is a special being, and
everyone would love him very much. At the end of the day, everything was different, it was more
my concern than anything else, I had an incredible time, and I think that this generation is much
safer or my parents lacked helping me more in my school years.
