Just keep in mind you won’t be the only freshman and that everyone above you in grade was a freshman at one time. Act like you know what you are doing and where you are going. If you don’t know ask someone with a friendly looking face. Most people are approachable and willing to help. Don’t act scared, but don’t act cocky either. Good Luck, and enjoy your first year in High school.

FDR once said “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”, That is sound advice. The fears that are going through your mind right now are millions of times more frightful than the reality of your first day of school. Most of the kids who will be entering with you have the very same fears. Some may not admit it but they have them. I am sure that there are all kinds of stories about kids getting stuffed into trash cans and bullies taking lunch money and all of that stuff. Most of that is made up nonsense. There will be some kids who will look down on you, mostly because they feel bad about themselves. The great majority however remember their fears and want to do what they can to help you find your way. Hopefully you will have a few friends that you can hang with and go through the first couple of days with. If not you will find someone very soon. You all will be in the same boat. If your school has an orientation program be sure to go. If nothing else it will help you find your way around and make it more comfortable. If there is no orientation program you might consider going to the school a day or two before classes start. There should be teachers there and most likely some students as well. Walk around and get an idea where the various rooms are. If the teachers are there ask them what is taught in the various rooms. That way you will have an idea where math, science, English etc. are located. You might even be able to get a copy of your schedule from the counseling office. If you are able to do that you can walk through your day and know where you go each period. If you have a locker you might try to work the combination a couple of times to get comfortable with it. Be sure to note where restrooms are, the cafeteria and the counseling office. Being familiar with the surroundings will go a long way to making it more comfortable. Good Luck, you are about to embark on a wonderful adventure.

I am going to be a junior, and let me tell you, high school is so much better than middle school.

Sure, bigger kids, more classes, but the freedom is so cool.

The sports, the clubs, the choices in classes, having a bigger locker, being able to actually say you are in high school; that is worth it.

Now, freshmen year, cliques were really evident, because we all thought that high school should have cliques. My friends and I thought we were so cool, but once sophomore year came around, we realized, having cliques is stupid, so you start to not care what others think and you date guys who YOU like.

You will see, once you get through that first day, you will be fine. Good luck!

Try to stay with your old friends as much as u can if u c anybody u no hang out with them and stay in a group as long as u can so u r never alone but try to make new friends 2 and hang out with them and if none of ur friends r there try 2 find a relative like a cusin some times ur friends or family can help u make new friends my cusin helped me make new friends and even a girlfriend so try 2 follow these tips !!glad 2 help!!

im right there with you! i start high school in two days. and trust me, im freaking out too. haha. my brother gave me some really good advice about if you dont know anyone. he said “find a buddy. someone that looks like they could be cool to hang around. you never want to be alone in high school. always have someone with you. that way, you dont look scared, even if you ARE shaking at the knees. AND if you do something stupid, at least you did it with someone else.”

hope it helps :]
