I'm going to high school...

There are mean people and there are nice people.

I'm sure you've seen all the movies and shows. Some teens convince you to do drugs. You'll be surprised on how good people are, but be strong!

Watch out; Just try to pay attention to your work and make friends with the good people.
You'll do great!

It's so much fun, believe me. It'll be tough, but it's a good taste of the real world.

And yah; STUDY!
Yes I know people always say "Study, Study, Study" but it actually DOES help.
Never miss a due date either. They can hurt you.


GOOD LUCK!

Dude, awesome! High school is like the best ^^ Okay, just remember that in some places, high school cost money. So, don't you go DITCHING, EVER. Never ditch school!!
That aside, I'll briefly explained how my high school experience was like.
Freshmen year, you'll have lots of nice teachers. They give a lot more work than middle school teachers, so be prepared. Eventually, you'll get used to all the work. (..Hmm...I'm not sure how to explain that when you've been home schooled..)
You'll have to carry a lot of stuff in your backpack. Be sure to carry lots of supplies, or you'd be forced to ask either your classmates or teachers for stuff (not recommended, but teachers are usually nice about this). The school will likely provide lockers. For mines, you had to signed up for a locker. During pick-up, be sure to ask around because there will be a lot of information. The teachers usually gives out a lot of tests (especially in math and science), so be sure to study. You may also have to do lots of projects which would likely require access to computers. Do NOT take your computer for granted, as it will be a helpful resource throughout high school. You may also have to type essays out, so you'll need a printer. In high school, its a lot more accepting than middle school, as kids start branching out for individuality rather than be "in the crowd". You might not need to worry about bullies. Be sure to make lots of friends as they may help you with work and such. Our school had three periods each day, 6 classes total. On the first day, have your paper with your classes on it and also have the school map. You should try to memorize where the classes are before you go to school. This may help with the confusion. Afterwards, you should be able to navigate and go to classes early easily without the schedule once you remember where to go. The school might have a working bell, but your teacher should know when class ends and begins, so don't worry too much about that. Anyways, I'm sure there's lots more, but I think this is enough info...?

im starting high school next year too! and im terified, so your not alone there

Focus on studies...not dating. Yes, make new friends, but you're going to school so you can gain an education, sweets. Don't let others make you believe that school is a dating club, the popular belief. Every test grade you receive now counts for college, so be prepared for every test/quiz! Don't get stressed out, school's fun :P But put an apt amount of focus on your schoolwork, because it's VERY easy to become distracted. And, at the moment, all the best colleges are raising their standards for student acceptance.
