I'm 15, and going to a boarding school in Japan. (I don't have much of a choice) I have blonde curly hair, blue eyes, fair skin and I'm short. (5'2) I do not speak much Japanese, and I'm not sure how I should make my first impression towards them (classmates.) I'm a total party girl, very sexual, and a bit on the wild side, but I'm smart(: Will they accept this? Will I attract too much attention just by being me? Any advice? Thankies=]

Most Japanese people are very modest and reserved. It's probably best to not act too wild until you get to know the people more. Just make sure you don't go overboard. & lucky you!! I always wanted to go to Japan :P

Lushcious is right. I have gone to japanese school till second year in high school and japanese people generally dont like people who out stands too much (talking and action). once you get comfortable in the class, you can do so, but there will be always someone who will hate your personality. also, dont try to show you are different from the others too much like you look better or smart etc. they will hate you if you do this. all this sound negative, but if you give them good impression, they will like you very much here are something that you can read. its kinda long but it will give you an idea how things flows.. http://www.japanlinked.com/Living-in-Japan/japanese-high-schools.html http://www.ericdigests.org/1997-4/daily.htm http://www.spike.com/video/japan-high-school/2752105?cid=YSSP hope its helpful :)

Just be yourself. Really you have no choice. Trying to pretend something you are not will not fool most people and is not the way to start things. Good luck and have safe fun.

Be yourself, respect the customs and traditions of Japan, and you will be fine. Don't do anything illegal, either. Don't party unless you are asked to join a group. Don't be sexual, and don't act as you would in America. The Japanese are a very traditional society, and any wild behavior will not be looked kind upon. Just abide by the rules of your school, and wear the school uniform that will be provided to you.
