As with everything in life, whether school or work, always be yourself. Welcome each morning with a positive attitude and know that it is going to be a great day! Smile and be friendly to everyone you meet. Join any clubs and organizations available to you (in school and out), as well as any sports as long as they do not interfere with your studies. Remember; to have friends you must be a friend.

Don’t worry about being nervous, everyone always is. Just a smile and eye contact and if you dare a simple hi. Walk with confidence and be a leader. Don’t worry about the kids that don’t respond to you, eventually everyone wants to be around those that are happy and they will seek you.

You will do great! Enjoy your High School Years!! And keep us posted. 🙂

1. Join clubs or sports teams. That way you meet ppl like you, who like to do stuff you do.

2. Try to make lots of new friends. Don’t worry, I’m super shy too. But all you really have to do is just say hi to the person you’re sitting next to in each class and see if they’re nice. If they are, ask if you can eat lunch with them if they have the same lunch so you won’t stress about that.

3. Don’t party too much, do drugs, drink, smoke, etc. DUH! I’m sure you know that, but I’ve heard that at least at my high school, all that is a much bigger problem than in junior high. So basically, don’t cave into negative peer pressure.

4. Obviously, study and do all you homework! Don’t skip a night of homework unless it’s an emergency. And study for all you tests, big or small, cuz all points count.

5. Stay organized. Use a planner. That’s helped me so much all throughout junior high. Clean out your binder(s) at least once every other week or so.

Hope these help! Good luck in high school!

Good luck – I’m sure you’ll be fine…just be brave!

But remember, grades are very very important. Don’t compromise on your grades for the sake of “making the most of high school”.

You will be having different types of fun, but play safe, always.

Good Luck!
