don't worry! i was like that too but when i entered high school, its pretty FUN and i love it. don't worry, just calm down, i garuntee you will have the greatest experience there.

Answer 2

I know exactly how you feel. I'm a Senior next year. You should definitely not be nervous. Gather your friends together and create a group, make sure everyone knows a meeting spot for lunch, and you'll be set. Now about the applying yourself thing, I have the same problem, and trust me, you definitely have to start worrying about your GPA as a freshman. There are many things I would have done differently had I known what it would be like. STAY ORGANIZED. The best way I've found is one of those accordion folding binder thingys. That way you don't have to punch holes in anything, you can just throw your papers in there and best of all you can sort them by subject, so you don't have to look through an entire stack of papers. but most importantly, have fun. hang with your friends, play a sport, an instrument, join a club. Find something that interests you and don't pass it up. try everything. you never know. You need something to help balance the studying. I am in Choir and I love it. I also played Softball, and Soccer for a while. But don't overload. oh, and don't shut out your parents. They are there to help you. don't listen to those people who say you have to learn to be independent and deal with things on your own. Yes, you will have to learn that, but don't start now. Your parents can help. let them help you with homework, even if it is just to check to make sure you're doing all of it. And i think that's about all the advice I have for you. just remember, have fun and don't grow up too fast!!!!! this is your time to have the time of your life!!

Answer 3

High School was a lot of fun for me. I probably had a little bit to much fun. I would if I where you study hard, and take care of all your school work before you worry about social activities. The next four years will have a huge impact on the rest of your life, whether or not you go to college, what kind of job you ultimately end up with maybe even lead you to the military, who knows. The best way to have the most options is to get good greats and get involved, play sports, join clubs, make friends and most importantly have fun while your doing it all.

Answer 4

Well, you really do have to buckle down. You HAVE to do your work. But of course, that's for anything. But school is more important. But you know, high school isn't as bad as entertainment makes it. Like when I was in middle school and I would watch movies about high school or people in high school or something. They kind of exaggerate high school. It's fun sometimes. It also depends on where you go. By the way, freshman do get it bad at times. But last semester I was a freshman, and I was pretty much accepted. Hopefully you won't have it hard with that.

Answer 5

i was the same way. i was so nervous starting highschool my freshman year. esepecially in a public school where you hear about people with guns, drugs, and condoms. my first day of school was the worst. i didn't know anybody. i didn't know where my locker was. i didn't know where the school office was. so i asked a kid walking by... he called me an @$$hole and kept walking. pretty soon i saw a guy in a suit walking around. i asked him where i could find my locker. it was the principle and he showed me to where my locker was. the second day of school went a little better. and after a week i was totally used to everything. i just finished my senior year at that school. i couldn't even start telling you the difference between then and now. everyone knows me know, the principle comes to me now whenever he sees vandalism, i have the prettiest girlfriend ever, and the best job ever, and i just graduated. highschool was awesome! i enjoyed it. hope you will too.

Answer 6

Like any big change, just prepare yourself the best you can and then take it one day the time. The world is full of people who have graduated from high school. You can too. Find some trusted adults and have them give you a hand when you need it. You'll be just fine, just keep your head about you. (Besides some stuff about high school is actually fun!)

Answer 7

Just so you know fresman year is the worst year. You get no respect from the upper classmen either. And all your so called friends aren't your friends anymore. And if you're pretty be prepared for a lot of jealousy, even if you don't know the person. I hate high school or at least the high school I am going to. I am glad i am switching schools next year.

Answer 8

all you can do is your best hun. Know your limits and dont push past them. if u know that you already have hard time with school work then try not to take on too many extra activities. And trust me in highschool they are great usually for helping students. Try to make it fun though. Through all my school years i honestly remember highschool the most. i wish i would have made more out of it. good luck and take care i am sure you will do great.

Answer 9

You really shouldn't be nervous at all. I'm starting High School too and I know that it's going to affect my future, but it doesn't bother me THAT much. Just relax, and enjoy the years there with your friends. Otherwise if you don't enjoy it, your going to have a crappy time and going to regret it!

Answer 10

You will probably really like high school. It does offer more freedom than the younger grades. However you are right in thinking that you will need to take your studies more seriously. If you begin with that in mind, and continue that trend you will do fine.

Answer 11

The biggest thing I learned in high school was to "DO STUFF." Get involved in things - meet people, learn new things, have fun. Do stuff. This way you'll be busy, but being busy also helps you keep on track - you're less likely to waste time procrastinating, etc when you don't have time to procrastinate!
