advice, help please. be honest?

Question

I start high school tomorrow. Does anyone have any advice on the whole high school scene? Any stories that might be helpful to freshmen?

Answer 1

First, be yourself. There's so much pressure to do things you normally wouldn't do or be a way you normally wouldn't be. Stay true to yourself and you should have no regrets. School work first, boys last. It doesn't help you or your goals if you're busy crying over boys. Of course you'll have boyfriends, just don't make them a priority. Don't get caught up in "he said, she said" crap. That's the kiss of death for any girl in high school. Brush the haters off. It pisses them off even more when you could care less. Good luck.

Answer 2

I'll be in 8th, but I have 2 older siblings who are past freshman so I know some stuff: Don't be too shy, just take a deep breath and relax. Most likely everybody will be shy on the first day of school. Also, now is the time to really focus on your schoolwork, if you plan on attending a good college-or even if you don't, you still need to work and do your best. Don't be afraid to get turtored or something. Also, find a good group of friends who you really like and make you feel good. Enjoy high school!

Answer 3

at first a lot of you will be really really close ..but as months go by ppl will start talking shyt and realize ppl's personalities. so quickly ppl will stop liking each other.

don't try to fit in somewhere you dont belong b/c it is very obvious when someone is trying to hard and ppl hate other ppl who try to be something they're not. i can tell right away when someone is fake and errione else can too. so there's really no point.

try to find a couple really good friends at first so you'll always have some people to be around you. i started out in a group of four and we stuck together till bout december and one of us moved away and the other got really annoying leaving me with one other friend (among others but she was closest).

it was easier for me to make friends because i played sports so i was immediately friends with the ppl on my team.

just be open to different ppl and never try to fit in soemwhere. be happy with your friends. friends are freinds no matter how "popular".

don't get too attached to one guy cause there are other ones. you're gonna be surrounded by them. if one doesnt work out it isn't the end of the world. just pick your head up and find someone else. don't cheat. errione will find out.

another thing. dont get yourself into any drama b/c ppl will remember you as the drama loving girl so try to stay outta other ppl's biz and dont talk shyt.

and always remember you didnt know most of these people before hi-skewl so you have no idea what they're really like. always be aware they can be backstabbers and dont immediately choose nayone as your new bestfriend. these are all new ppl and not all of them have the plan of making real friends. most girls are just interested in boyys. so just be careful with the ppl you choose to hang out with.

HAVE FUN!
freshmen year is one of the best.

Answer 4

If you are afraid of becomeing a "loser" or being picked on, one good tip is to always be around a lot of people, and look like you are happy and having fun. Acting like you are depressed and hate everything makes you seem like a dull time, so people will not want to be around you, and that will make you a "loser". I am going into my sophmore year in college and that has always helped me. I have been on both ends of the spectrum, and not being a "loser" is a lot better. Be happy and be social. You will do fine!

Answer 5

I graduated High School this year and I'm glad to be done because freshman suck. Sorry I am just kidding. Just act friendly and try to get to know people. Just don't try and change yourself to try and fit in. Be prepared though because the high school years can be difficult.

Answer 6

Be yourself. I know it's a scary time...I've been there. But don't be afraid to talk to other freshmen who are in the same boat you are. Once you start making friends, you'll be a lot more comfortable.

Answer 7

Hang with those who you have been friends with...if you want to meet new friends or go in another direction, high school has alot of clubs and organizations that you can get involved with, I recommend doing so regardless...getting involved can help you socially and academically..good luck...welcome to H.S...some of my best years of life were during those years.

Answer 8

no ideas ive been out of school for 8 years now and things has changed so much....i do know there is alot of gayness going on dont fall for it

Answer 9

Treat everyone like a friend. If you act like you are "good enough" for everyone no one will know you are not, and you will be. Good luck with that now.

Answer 10

im gunna be a freshman too. the more upperclassmen you know the better - establish good friendships with uppers and stuff and be yourself - good luck.
