You're probably worrying needlessly. Keep a couple of friends close and you guys stand up for and with one another. If you're playing alone, you're more vulnerable.
Actually, there isn't one grade that's going to pick on you per se, probably. The seniors probably aren't going to pay any attention to you at all if you're a freshman. More or less you're invisible to them. Unless you do one of two things. One, run your mouth, or two, flirt with one of the senior girls' boyfriends. The seniors mostly will ignore you otherwise. You're not worth their time. :)
You might have some trouble from a few sophomores who are now trying to be the Lords since they are no longer freshmen. When I was a freshman I sometimes caught some guff from a few sophomores.
More likely, though, IF you have trouble, it is more likely to come from some random bully, in which case what grade they are in won't matter a lot. When I was a freshman I was bullied by one guy in particular. I think he was a senior but he was an idiot and he was in a biology class I was in. I think he figured I was the smartest freshman he knew of so he was going to take it out on me. If I saw him today I'd kick his a$$ for it. I'm 40 now so he'd be about 43. I'd punch him in the nose and break it and if he didn't start apologizing right away then I'd pound him into the ground.
Anyway.....you're probably needlessly worrying. Most of the time you won't have a problem. Today, ever since Columbine, bullying is aggressively dealt with in schools. If you have a problem and you talk to the school principals, etc., they will come down so hard on that kid and his/her parents that it's pretty much guaranteed you will never have a problem from that person again.

I don't know what you want tip's on. It sounds to me like you're a pretty cool kid. High school can be vicious...but you'll find your place. I graduated two years ago, and I absolutely loved high school. You just have to go into it with an open mind and be cool with everyone. It seems like you'll be able to fit in well. You play two sports, probably have a nice body if you're a body builder, you like music, and you're not shy with girls. You're going to be just fine! Good luck! P.S - One tip that helped me throughout my High School years was to have your group of friends...but still expand your horizons to a variety of other people to get to know.

Answer 5

Here are some tips:

First: Get good grades from the start!! and keep it going if you dont you will have a really hard time.

Second: dont get into the wrong crowed!!

Third: Find something you really like to do and stick with it

Oh and as far as who picks on freshmen the most I don't think that it is any one class everyone just assumes it is the seniors

Answer 6

Congratulations! Being in high school has its own level of stresses -particularly if you are attending a new school, or your friends might be going to a different school - you might be starting fresh without anyone you know. "Fresh meat" is probably something you'll hear a lot of. My take on incoming high school students is this - know that your personality has already been established. If you are outgoing, trustworthy, value your time and value doing your work - that is not going to change. If you are unorganized - I suggest you get organized quickly. High school teachers will expect more from you in terms of maturity and ability. They may not 'hold your hand' as much and many of them don't explain over and over again. They expect you to 'get it' the first couple of times, or exercise your right to research and get the answers for yourself. There will be more extra-curricular activities for you to choose from - be careful that you don't overload in that department and forget your studies. Everything counts now. All your credits, all your exams, Gateway, TCAP, whatever state tests that are required. Stay close to your counselor or advisor. You should have a four year plan mapped out so that you know what you are taking each semester. Don't fail a subject. You'll have to make it up during summer school! You want your writing to be decent and well thought out. Soon, you will be expected to start drafting letters for college (if you plan to go) If you have activities outside of school - keep them. Particularly if you have things you do to volunteer..You will need that on your record for college appliations. While they are impressed with grades and recommendations from your teachers, etc. (keep a good open relationship with teachers - you will need them - I promise!) they are more impressed with what you are doing with your life and how it is relative toward your life's career or your ability to work with people. I know this is a lot, but I really wanted to let you know what to expect. I teach 8th graders and part of my job at the end of the year is to step them through the high school program to help them get acclaimated. We are so serious about that here in Nashville, that many of our schools have removed the 9th graders and placed them in their own schools or on their own floors in the building - separating them from the stresses and overwhelming consumption of the rest of the high school students. After the first year - you'll be able to swim in the deep water with no problem. I wish you the very, very best. If you have any other questions or need some help, please email me. [e-mail]

Answer 7

Go in their confident. Do not show that you are nervous. Make friends. Your first days will set the stage of who you will be in school for the rest of your life. Make a good impression. Before you leave in the morning check your gear like your clothes and hygiene. Long as you don't look the part of being a dork, nerd, or helpless you will fit right in. When I first entered high school I had seniors(including football players) stopping to talk to me. Make them want to know you by making the statement of I know who I am , who are you (body language).

Answer 8

I suggest trying your best to not get caught up in accumulating a lot of absences. Don't be afraid of "looking smart"...it will pay off your junior and senior year.

Get involved in lots of clubs and sports. Go to sporting events, be nice to people, and opinion to people different from yourself. Take pictures when you're at these functions.

Work hard, but play hard too.

Seniors will have comments, but don't swoon over the senior boys. The senior girls will definitely attack. Unfortunately girls can be really cruel.

Answer 9

find an older student to be your mentor/protector. I had my older sister and she made sure I wasn't harassed by the other students.
You will be fine, just remember to keep your nose clean and do your best in your studies.
As a high school teacher, I appreciated the students that actually seemed interested in hearing what I had to say. I didn't attend all those years of college for nothing! Lots of luck and blessings to you too.
