dont be nervous. i’m a junior now, and when i was going into highschool i thought it would be lifechanging. i mean, it definitely is a shock to see so many older people in the hallways.. but i was also suprised to see how on the first day girls wore sweatpants and threw their hair up in a messy bun… they just didn’t care. i liked that because i used to spend so much time on hair and clothes… now i think about that and i think it’s such a waste of time. i think the day before school actually starts, stop by the school and look for your classrooms. also, don’t be nervous about asking where things are because there are people who would be glad to help you. dont worry… you’re gonna have a great four years there. middle school was horrible to me, and in just two years i can see that highschool is much better.

Enjoy it – honestly, most of the details of what happens won’t matter one bit in 20 years. But your overall experience will. Participate in everything – be open to new experiences and people. Work for good grades, but don’t sweat it if you don’t pull straight A’s or aren’t in all the advanced classes. Unless you’re aiming for Harvard, Yale, or MIT you can be fairly assured that you’ll get into college somewhere if that’s what you want. Be a good person – treat everyone with respect – and at the same time Pass and Repass. That’s something my g’ma always told me. There are folks that will be up to stuff that you know better than to do yourself – so for those folks, be nice but aloof – don’t get involved in anything that can limit your future options.

Have fun and Best of luck.

First of all, take a deep breath and count to ten. Next, pick out a completely awesome outfit that makes you feel good. Also, act like you know exactly what you’re doing and you’ll figure it out in no time. It’s really not that different from middle school, just more advanced classes and a little more freedom.

such a general topic. are you just scared in general, or is there something specific you are scared of? People are people, and some will like you and some might not. The only thing to do is (OMG I know this statement is so overplayed and overstressd, but…) be yourself. Or are you scared about things like grades or your education? If you are, just remeber that contrary to the popular belief that grades are important, it isn’t, its all about class rank. Talk to your counseler about it, because some classes like pre-ap count higher towards that. Hope this helps

oh wow i hate that feeling.

ya im gunna be a junior now and still kinda get that feeling.

just be yourself u know do u know all ur classes, go the day before to check out all ur classes or just put the map in ur binder dont walk with it in ur hands.it feels awkward the first months then later on its great.

relax

make friends

have fun.

high school umm…….avoid people that are older than you that you dont know and dont have to know. only time you wanna hang out with older people is if you know them through your parents or they are a sibling. also say no to drugs.

ahh youll be fine i started last year and i just say be yourself and be nice to people its not that bad i thought going into middle school was harder
