it was my first week last week. just lay low and play it cool and you'll be fine

What RockMessiah said. But don't be too afraid to make friends. I've never moved to a new town and been completely new to an area, so I can't say I understand that.

Personally what has worked for me is that nobody knows that I like to animate.
I don't know how people in Canada would take it, but in California where I live animating with Flash = Anime nerd. They see things very black-and-white here. Also, I wouldn't talk to anyone about Newgrounds. Most other kids I know think it's a porn site.

I don't mean to be a negative nancy but since these things have caused problems for me I just thought I'd give you a warning.
