I'm worried about all the stuff I'll have to do. Find a job, learn to drive a car, ACT tests, grades, ect. Those who have had experience please tell me if it is going to be overwhelming.

Almost everyone survives high school so you'll be fine. Pay attention, don't be afraid to speak up, and remember it'll be over in 4 years. Also, and I know this sounds terribly parental, but don't drink a lot or do drugs until you're 18 - at your 10 year reunion, you can impress people by actually *remembering* high school. If you feel peer pressure, tell your friends you don't want to do drugs because you're interested in being an FBI agent or a Navy officer and you don't want to mess up your chances.
Driving is easy - again, just pay attention and don't be an idiot. Learn to drive a manual transmission - it's fun, manuals are cheaper than automatics, and you'll be able to borrow more cars in college!
Finally, get a job in the summers and save the money. If you can put $2000 away in a Roth IRA every summer for 4 years you're on your way to having a million in the bank by the time you're 50. Seriously, think about this stuff...you'll be way ahead of the curve!

No. You aren't going to be doing all of that stuff in the same month. let a lone the same year. High school will be surprisingly easy. It's suppose to be the best years of your life. But it won't be. That would almost be depressing if that were true. Just focus on getting good grades and being involved in school activities. This will be the fastest 4 years of your life. There will be times when you feel overwhelmed but you'll pull through it just like almost everyone else.

You shouldnt worry bout high school all that much....I graduated just this year....Finding a job is easy....Just go to like a grocery store or fast food place...they usually have flexable schedules....trust me ull need flexable schedules!! Driving is just like everything else...Practice makes perfect!! ACT's are easy as long as u can focus all the way thru it and if u start to run out of time GUESS!! They dont count off for wrong answers! As long as u do what ur told and all that ur grades shouldnt be a problem...Dont get in the wrong crowd...Im gonna tell u something....ur friends WILL change once they get into high school....just dont change urself!!! The change from middle to high school can be overwhelming but just remember 4 more years and ull be out of it....O and one more thing....Get all of ur college stuff out of the way ur Junior year that way u can party ur Senior year...Ull thank me in the end!!

a lot of stuff you will have to accomplish in High School. Make a list and time line of what is required. Now that that is over with. Enjoy High school get involved with differ ant activities. The more you are involved the faster the time goes because you are having fun. Also by being involved it could help you to earn scholarships.

No. High School was a blast for me. Sure you have to do all the required work, but it's not that bad. My advice to you is to get involved with groups and school organizations. Live it up in high school because it won't get any better than that. And trust me, and I'm sure you've heard this before, it will be the best time of your life, and someday you will actually miss it. Let the good times roll!

i waz a freshman last year and i still havent found a job (most dont),at my skool u have to b a sophmore to take drivers ed.but as far as grades go its hard b/c its so much easier to fall behind in class especially if ull b takin honors courses. and if ur not u should talk with ur gudiance consulor to get into honers b/c hon. classes really help ur g.p.a but the advice that i can give u to keep ur grades up in h.s is try ur hardest to never b absent. b/c when u miss school alot of times teachers will give u the work but itll b up to u to teach ur self the things that u miss. and some teachers make u stay after skool to make up test,experiments, and quizzes

HIGH SCHOOL IS AWESOME! i'm a junior and i felt the same way when i was off to high school, but no, u dont even think about it. I was personally EXITED for all that to happen like getting a job, ACT's, car. Dont worry about it. Live each day as it comes and you'll be fine. :)

It will only be overwhelming if you let it be. You aren't going to have to do all the things you listed at the same time. Just take each step at a time and you will get through with everything done.

Well 9th grade isn't that hard. And you don't have to do that stuff all at once. The only reason you need a car in highschool is to look cool so... I wouldn't stress about it.

Only if you don't study. If you are having difficulty just keep on asking the teacher until you understand your subject. Don't ever be shy and don't ever do drugs or begin to smoke, that's were it all starts, be strong and firm when your friends will try to pull you in. I survived and doing great now. But you'll be Ok. Just study hard! and don't be afraid. Good Luck!!!
