Not the average tips for a high school freshman???

Hey, I’m gonna be a freshman in high school this year! I’m pretty excited, not very nervous and not at all scared. I just wanted to know if anyone has got any other advice BESIDES:

1. Be yourself

2. get good grades

3. dont worry (cuz im not worried)

4.get involved.

5. have fun (of course im going to have fun, its high school)

I intend to use all that advice, but that is all the advice anyone is giving about freshman year. I’m smart and taking all the highest classes I can, (Geometry H, English H, Biology H) and my electives are theater, band, foods, and spanish 1.

Make friends with older students. They know things about school, about teachers, about assignments . . .

Create your own reputation in some creative and positive way.

Become a legend at school for something cool and positive, like knowing about classic movies, music, and memorize Ferris Bueller.

Get to know teachers on a personal level, and develop social skills when talking with adults. That will get you the slack when you need it.

1. Don’t do drugs, have sex, get involved in fights.

2. Don’t get so caught up in drama that you forget to do good school work and forget who your real friends are.

3. Honors classes are great but if you fall behind, do something RIGHT away, otherwise you’ll be screwed for the rest of your high school years.

4. Your first day is going to be pretty boring. Don’t expect a carnival or something. Bring a book, music player(If you’re allowed), or doodle with your friends.

5. Don’t isolate your friends just because you don’t have classes with them.

Hope this helps!

The best advice I can give you, is try not to pre-judge anyone. Give everyone a fair chance to be friends with you. Putting people into mental categories (he’s a jock, she’s a prep, he’s a goth, she’s an emo) etc, will only block you from wanting to make friends with some pretty cool people! As hard as it may be, be nice to everyone you meet! You never know who may have best-friend potential!

Always know how many stories tall your school is. My school only has 2 floors. If I were to ask where the algebra classes were and someone said on the 4th floor I would know they were lying. Oh! And I know people are not waiting till there married.(If you know what I mean…) If a guy is not willing to wait, kick him to the curb.

Make time for you self as well, don’t allow your self to get too stressed.

Make new friends

Just because you are not worried doesn’t mean the other kids aren’t either, try to make them feel more comfortable

Get to know your teachers

Learn what resources your school offers, such as tutoring, counseling etc.

Really savor your four years there because when people say, “It goes by fast,” we aren’t kidding. 🙂

Friends are important, but don’t get caught up in trying to make everyone your friend because chances are you won’t talk to most of them after high school. A little pessimistic, but it’s usually true.

I would suggest to avoid hanging out with people who do drugs and drink. I would also recommend not eating cafeteria food.
