I have kids in high school. The kids there can be really mean - don't take it personally. They are just trying to make themselves feel better by putting others down. Depending on your school, you may find a lot of people instantly wanting to be your friend. Then, when they really get to know you, if they discover you are different from them, they won't talk to you any more. Try not to take that personally, either. I think they are just glad to have a new friend because it makes them feel like "Hey, a new person likes me, so that means I'm an okay person myself." At this age, everyone cares what everyone else thinks about them and is looking for confirmation that they are okay. Everyone seems to feel a lot of pressure to look and act a certain way.
Read "Star Girl" by Jerry Spinelli. It's about a new girl at school, but she's REALLY different from everyone else, and a strange turn of events make everyone idolize her for a while, then turn away from her. It's a good lesson in learning to accept yourself as you are and not worry about everyone else.

Order some dvds of Saved By the Bell, a television show that accurately depicts American High school life.

It all depends on what high school you go to and what state/county/town you are living in. But senior year is really basic, unless you are in advanced classes. Then you might need to study a little on weekdays. But senior year is laid back, it isn't hard at all.
