when u go to high school b urself if ur not ur going to get into stuff u dont want a part of and the ppl that r like u would b the ones u ignore so u cant b urself
Relax. It's not as scary as it seems. There's quite a bit of work depending on your classes (and teachers of course), but it's not until junior year that you have to really worry about the work load. Finding your way around will be easy after a few days. Trust me, the middle school teachers make it sound a LOT scarier than it actually is.
I would say to avoid getting caught up in cliques if you can. Try to be friends with all different people. It may seem weird, because, especially at my school so it may not be so bad at yours, most people are VERY cliquey. But if you let yourself loose and just talk to a variety of people, it's all good :)
Also, I'd stay away from smoking, binge drinking and drugs... just because. It's not worth it. Just don't hang around the wrong people if you can help it.
But it's really not that bad. It's similar to middle school, except with more freedom. I like high school a lot better than middle school (except next year for me is junior year... ugh) but as a freshman it should be fine. Don't worry! It'll be fine! :)
I totally agree with Sugarcane, though I've never gotten to college so I can't say about that. =/ But totally and completely, no sex, no drugs, watch the cliques, be yourself. and enjoy yourself. High school can be lots of fun. And if your anything like me - make sure you don't get lost in the halls. xDD It's never good to be late to class on your first day. Have fun and good luck Hon.
Be yourself! There's bound to be someone just like you that will make you feel at home. Don't get nerved or upset if your first day doesn't come out right, because the second day is bound to get better! Focus on your work AND your friends, and you will enjoy high school more than anything. :)
Advice For Peer-pressure: If anybody tries to bully you into doing something that you don't want to do/is dangerous/is wrong than THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND. It's best to distance yourself from people like that. Trust me, it's better to be alone than with someone who is using you/hurting you/causing you to hurt yourself.
It won't be as bad as you think. You've probably built it up in your head to be terrible, but it won't be all bad.
Just be yourself. I know it's easy for me to say, because I'm not in your situation, but I remember on my first day at secondary school everyone said that to me, and I did, and now I'm happy.
Also, even though it feels like you'll make no friends,on the first day it'll feel like that too, you will. Everyone does. Even it takes a bit longer than most, you'll find great friends.
Well, I'm just like you. When the first time I got into high school ( this year ) I'm scared that they'll bully me but after a few weeks in school. I think it's not as bad as I think. Many people are nice but a few of them are not..... My childish attitude hasn't gone since kindergarten and many people dislike me for that attitude. It's not bad... I'm just like to be happy all the time. When someone starting to ignore you, that's mean they're jealous of you.
So, just think that you're special. BTW, you're not entering high school alone. Many of your ages are entering too. So, don't be worry and be happy!!!^^
It's nothing you can be given a staight answere for- it's different for everyone. You just have to stick by your friends, do your best, and learn along the way.
Have fun, party hard haha just kidding. don't date older guys. There's some good advice. Freshman year is super easy. Sophmore year for me was awesome...but now I'm going to be a Junior. FML -_-
i remember my first day of highschool. i didn't know anyone in the entire building. it took me a while to make friends but now i see them everyday and we love hanging out; it's great. walking in the first day can be scary but you will be brave. you can go in with a friend if you know someone who is also going to your school. a lot of people are scared, embarassed, whatever so they act up. that would be a mistake. go in, be polite and respectful, stick to your principles, and you'll see that by the end of the year, you have had fun. the tv shows, songs, etc. depict highschool as this totally scary thing. let me tell you that it's not. i know you probably won't believe me until you see for yourself so just go in, work hard, and have fun.
