Work hard and challenge yourself by taking honors and AP courses.

Get to know your teachers- its not sucking up! They are there to help you.

Meet people and get involved by joining activities and athletics.

Set up a meeting with your counselor. It’s good to establish a relationship with him/her now so that during your junior year you can meet with them to talk about college.

Study. Get to class on time. Keep organized. Get enough sleep. Have a positive attitude. Compliment others. Smile. Participate.

I can’t think of any others. Don’t worry about high school though too much. You’ll do great! Just work hard and keep focused. It’s only four years.

Yeah. I know your friends THINK they can have drugs at school and not get caught, but really, you can’t. Take it from someone who’s been arrested and expelled twice for the same damn reason. And don’t think just because it’s your freshman year, you can **** around. Freshman and Sophmore years are the two most important years in high school. If you don’t pay attention, you’ll get messed up in the long run. Stay away from “party” kids, it doesn’t turn out well. And don’ try to be like Lindsey Lohan on Mean Girls. I’m in All Advanced Placement Classes, and I’m 15, trust me on this one, dude,

Just be urslef..there will be plenty of other students in the same boat as you..so u definetly wont be the only one….smile…introduce urself to ppl…check to see if someone may have the same schedule as you..thats the quickest way to make a friend….be open minded..u never know who u are goin to meet…have fun and relax…u ll make friends fast! try not to over think every situation….dont be judgemental about every thing..keep positive…stay focused and u should be fine!

Do you know how many times this questiuon has been asked? hehe sorry its getting late Im getting grumpy, just be very social, get a hobby to distract you if things get tough, and ditch friends that drag you down, theyre gonna destroy you =D its not so bad either, upperclassmen dont bite because freshman dont taste very good anyways

How about studying and doing homework instead of goofing off with your mates? Study and homework . .. what a concept!

make a lot of friends and try not to get on anybody’s bad side until you’ve made your ground

act tough and back it up…so get in a fight and win….no one will mess with you then
