Well in high school, things are a lot bigger. Like the students, teachers, and buildings. You also get more homework than junior high but don’t let that get you down. Millions of students like you are entering high school for the first time. And it can be scary. But just relax. Just be yourself and you can make some life-long friendships. You can make some friends by joining in some after school clubs and sports. And also just by talking to the person beside of you. You can compliment on something they have to strike up a conversation. Also, in high school, you know you have more homework than junior high. So be prepared to do that. Be organized and don’t procrastinate. Doing that will make you feel behind in your classes and you can’t catch up. Just pay attention to your teacher’s lectures, take good notes, and do your homework first before crashing onto the computer. Have a schedule with you or a to-do list. Prioritized your things and tackle big assignments one at a time. And have some fun too. High school is one of the best years of your life. Make it like that and you will enjoy high school.

When I was a sophomore last year, I was scared too. I was the shortest person in my high school. But I got used it and now, I’m used to being around taller people.

good luck!

If your high school is on the larger side, try to get a map.. try online or even call the school. My high school had about 2500 kids in it so.. you can imagine that it was the size of a small city. Took me 2 years to learn room numbers. Anywho, high school is a strange time because you and everyone else are growing up and just finding out different life lessons everyday, even tho you don’t realize it. It has its ups and downs, but when it’s over, you’ll probably miss it so enjoy it. It’s better than high school, in my opinion, because people are more mature and usually the school is bigger, so it’s not as cramped. Anywho, just relax and know that it’s a tough time for EVERYONE because it’s a transition. By the 2nd or 3rd week of high school, you’ll totally get into the swing of things, and before you know it, you’ll be off to college with a ton of responsibilities. So, truly, enjoy your friends and high school experience as much as you can. Yes, there will be some rocky times I’m sure, but there will also be fun times where you laugh with your friends, talk about boys, and make some good memories. Good luck sista! :o)

Just relax and you will be fine. High school can be hard, but just always try your best and make alot of friends! Join a club or a group and you’ll meet alot of people and make tons of friends. Take classes that will challenge you, and make sure you take classes that lean toward what you are thinking of doing in college. Like interested in English? Take more of those classes, Interested in Science careers? Take more maths and sciences….overall, Have fun!!

i’m also starting high school next week. i’m a little nervous too. all i can tell you is to just try your best and try to remain on the good sid of the upperclassmen! God bless!!!

Just dont be nervous!!! if you are it makes it worse!!!

Goodluck!
