We all had trouble adjusting to high school life. You are trapped in a public system where everyone is required to be up to a certain age, so you get stuck with a bunch of different types of people you might have never known. This can be a nightmare and a blessing.

High school is about discovering who you are, what your interests and beliefs are, how you are different from your parents, and where you alike. This is a confusing time for parents and teens.

I graduated 4 years ago and I’m now in college. The best advice I can give is to find out the things you love, and the things that interest you and pursue them as much as you can. Take classes that interest you and take up a hobby. My freshman year I hated reading all the books the teachers made us read, but by my senior year I met a girl that got me into books and now I’m studying to be a Librarian!

Also if you want to go to college, start doing good in your classes, you are already smart so just get the work done and don’t be afraid to ask for help. This will help you in the future.

Girls like boys that have their own interests, and they like boys who are not afraid to be themselves. I was also the shy type! I didn’t date until I was a senior. In college you will meet alot of girls, trust me.

Well, if you’re quiet and really only talking to your friends, to me you seem a little shy. A good way to get over that (I know this is so cliche, but) is to join some after school clubs. Try a few out, see what you’re interested in. I was the same way, always quiet and shy, but then I joined a few clubs/sports at school, and I can’t shut up now!

Oh, and as for the ‘good fortune with girls’? The more you come out of your shell by joining things, it’ll probably seem easier to talk to them.

Hope this helps!

surviving high school doesn’t need to be that hard. I was one of those very quiet kids for most of my life who happened to do well in school, but not because i actually spent hours a night studying. The best advise i can give you so that you will be more outgoing and feel comfortable talking with other people is to join some clubs and sports. You meet so many great people that you have a lot in common with. Thats what really helped me to have more confidence and be outgoing. Best of luck

Keep focusing on your studies, and find something to get involved in. It can really help you in high school if you get into something where you are part of a decent group. Soccer, swimming, band, ensemble choir, dance, art, chess, debate, yearbook, student council….. or anything else. Even things outside your school. It also builds your confidence, so will help with shyness. I was very shy, until I got involved with dance. It actually helped me be more expressive, so more outgoing.

You are too young to have “fortune” with girls, lol. Don’t worry about that, no one is that great with the opposite sex at 15, trust me! You will be FINE later in life with women, if you learn to have girls as good friends right now. So I hope some of your friends are female!

Be who you’re. Love what you do, do what you like. Get the satisfactory schooling you’ll be able to and check out to rrememberthat you subject, now not the cliches, and so on. I hated HS, however found out to manage and forget about the crap and the nasties. I suspect that you’re already years forward within the phrases of your schooling. You are there to get the credit you have got to get that degree and get directly to university. Check and spot if there are twin enrollments w/ a nearby group university or college. Take the categories you wish, which I suspect are stages forward of the relaxation of the scholar frame. I may not lie and say it’ll be adequate, considering the fact that youngsters can also be sooo nasty. Keep your dignity and do not downplay your intelligence EVER!!!! Have religion in your self and be who you’re!!!!

High school seems like it’s a huge deal-it IS while you’re in it.

I think you sound like a great kid. I think you should just keep on doing what you’re doing. As long as you have friends that you feel comfortable talking to and are smart, then it sounds like you are on the right track.

Try to apply yourself though. I know it’s easier said than done, but just make sure you do that-your future college depends on that!

Good luck! 🙂

Get in the gym and lift weights. Having strength is a way to ensure respect amongst your peers and it helps with the girls. Being intelligent and strong is a very good combination. It helped me out a lot anyway.

Ha, I was just like this in High School, look man you are you do your own thing don’t try to be like anyone else and stop thinking about how to be like others, I mean you should have fun during theses years but if your going to lose sleep doing it or daydreamin its not worth it, if you do wanna break from your current state just act on insimct, if your like me you think about doing things before you act on them, meaning your smarter than average…

Im the same way,Another year is here and thats all i think about, All the jerks im gonna encounter,Hopefully make a couple friends.will be ok, will have to stick together

i was the same way when i was in high school..
