Hi!

I'm new and more than a little overwhelmed. You seem like very nice people though.

Just the feeling of being the new kid in the class, and not knowing the norms.

There's not much you can do wrong Natalie, just chat about whatever is on your mind. This is a very friendly and non-judgemental place. And if there's anything you want to know, just ask

Hi! I'm sorta new too. Been here only 7 days but it's been a blessing. Everyone's willing to help and is so supportive. Just say whatever you need to. My first post made me feel a little relieved after I got things off my chest.

we Love new kids in this class, Natalie.

You don't need to worry about norms.... this is a welcoming, supporting place.

I mean, try not to be a big meanie-head, but other than that it's pretty much just be yourself.
