don’t worry the upperclass people r really pretty nice just get ready for high school its like a fresh start for u to get ready for college and whatever your life goals r.

Well i don’t know which country you’re from and i don’t know if they’re the kind that beat up freshmen, but i don’t think you’ll ever face that problem. Perhaps you could make friends with some of those on the bus. Try to find one who seems to be alone. Chances are she’s a freshman too. Both of you can then support each other. Be confident or at least act confident and don’t let people bully you. Hope this helps.

Okay, honestly the upper classmen don’t give two birds about you right now. I’m not trying to be mean, but it’s the truth. Get yourself some good friends and stick with them. Pretty soon your going to driving your own car to school so you won’t even have to worry about the big yellow limo (school bus). Just keep your senses and don’t do stupid things. Stay quiet until you are comfy enough to stand out. And don’t worry about swirlies and being shoved in a locker, that stuff happened back in the day, now it’s unheard of and it’s a criminal charge. Under assault. You’ll be fine. Oh, dont sit in the back of the bus, bring some head phones or whatever you kids use these days. Act like you got more important things going on. Congratulations on being a feshmen, it’ll fly by.

Freshman year is NOT a big deal, seriously. I just finished my freshman year of high school, and I had a blast. I made tons of new friends and had great teachers. Sure, there were downsides, and there’s a lot more drama in high school, but if you have a good attitude, then things always work out.

A bunch of my friends were freaking out last year (and some of my younger friends still are this year) because they were afraid they’d be beat up/not have any classes with their friends/they’d all have evil teachers/everything would be horrible/etc, but everything turned out fine.

There were some older friends I had who also tried to scare me and said that doing the sport I was going to do (color guard) was going to get me beat up, and that freshmen were always picked on, but I NEVER experienced any of that. If anything, the upperclassmen were nice to me and tried to make me feel welcome.

My advice is to just relax about everything, because bullies (in general) pick on people who aren’t confident or are already targeting themselves. You’ll just be fine if you have fun and don’t stress out. High school isn’t the best thing ever, but it’s not a horrible experience, it’s a time for you to grow and prepare yourself for independence.

Have fun and good luck!

Just act like everything is cool. Stay calm and act unaffected. Don’t act like a flighty weirdo and no one will mess with you. Lay low and try not to “make waves” your first week. Realize that you are not the only freshman in the school, even if you are the only one on the bus. The first day of my freshman year was pretty uneventful. In fact, I don’t even remember it. Seriously, don’t lose any sleep over it. You will be fine.

I think you will be okay. It can definitely be scary. I wanted to take kick boxing and karate before I went to high school because I thought I was going to get beat up (my friends totally made me scared of high school). I never got beat up though 🙂 I think most people make it through high school without getting beat up.

I agree with the girl above me, try to make friends on your bus so the ride won’t be lonely. Don’t be too worried though, most of the freshman are probably just as nervous! 🙂

Good luck hun, you will have a good time. High school can be difficult, but it can also be a lot of fun.

here, read what i put for another person who asked a similar question:

“well for me it was one of my funnest years so far in high school. although i dont really remember much about it, i loved it. just have fun & make new friends. freshman year is the easiest year out of all 4. so enjoy it, trust me. sophomore year is probably the hardest year. & then junior year is almost as hard. freshman is the “kickback/easy” year out of all 4 years. i’m going to be a senior this year & i think it will be just like freshman year. laided-back & chill. so just have fun!

good luck! you’ll do great! & dont be scare to make new friends or of anything! 🙂 ”

i hope that helped & calmed down your nerves!

Don’t worry, it’s gonna be just fine. So calm down…

*deep breaths*

From the way my friends described it, they say it’s one of the funnest year of their lives.They made new friends and school was easy.

So don’t worry about it,you’ll have your friends and being the only freshman on the bus doesn’t mean someone is gonna beat you up (who does that anyways…)I think you’re safe.Hey maybe you might even meet some new sophomore,Jr.senior. friends on the ride to school.

-good luck!☺

It’s not that bad, really. I’m going to be a sophmore next year and my freshman year wasen’t too bad. Just don’t act like a Freshman and you’ll be fine….most of the upper classmen (unless there jerks) understand what you’re feeling and give you the benefit of da doubt…just take one step at a time! 🙂

high school is another part of ur life ,it will have its issues and it is also loads of fun so just becoz there will be some issues u can miss out on all the fun can u? so just be calm ,be urself and do the best in what u know. be friendly make friends iam sure u will enjoy urself.
