Tell me about High School???? Please???

Question

I am going to be enering High School this year and I have some questions about it so please try to answer them for me.

1.) Will boys and girls hang out more? Because in middle school if you are a girl you hang out with your girl friends and if you are a guy you hang out with your guy friends.

2.) I live in a small town and a lot of people don't date yet once we get to at least 10th grade will people start dating?

3.) I am kinda shy and I feel REALLY nervous around guys I like. Will this change when I get in high school so I can get a boyfriend?

4.) Is there more peer pressure in high school than in middle school?

5.) Overall is high school better than middle school?

Answer 1

I hated high school in the States, loved it in Finland.

Good luck though, hopefully you won't want to end yourself like I did almost every day of that year :D

Answer 2

1) Yes there will be tons of girl/guy interaction

2) People will start dating, going out, and having relationships right from the beginning but dont feel social pressure to do that yourself and only do it when you feel ready

3)Well, it depends on how outgoing you actually are, but I'm sure as you spend more time around guys you will become more confident. Do whatever you need to make yourself feel attractive so you will have more confidence (especially around guys). If you gain this confidence I'm sure there will be guy begging to be your girlfriend. Dont feel pressure

4) There will always be peer pressure but I would say yes. Theres always pressure to do stuff but just make sure you do what you want. If you get more confidence you wont be as threatened by peer pressure and what others think of you.

5) High school has the potential to be much greater than middle school just try to have fun and dont be too shy or you might find your best years slipping away (I was too shy in 9th,10th, and 11th and I have a small amount of regret).

have fun!

Answer 3

I will try to answer your questions as best as I can.

1. Yes, boys and girls will hang out more, a lot more. In high school people are more mature and they grow feelings for the opposite sex really fast. Girls will still hang out with girls and guys will still hang out with guys, but girls and guys will hang out more often than they did in middle school.

2. Yes, everyone will start to date. Its only a matter of time.

3. This is up to you, you have to build up some confidence. Guys are also nervous at a young age, so don't worry you're not alone.

4. I would say theres about the same amount of peer pressure in high school, but its going to be harder. People will ask you to do even dumber things in high school than what they asked you to do in middle school.

5. Yes, high school is much better than middle school because high school students are much more mature. Middle school students are jerks to each other and they eventually realize that when they are in high school.

Answer 4

Boys and girls will hang out both together and separate, if you have PE they might have you mixed and that's cool.
When you start dating if you're under 18 is really up to your parents. 16 is ok with me.
Don't worry about being shy around guys just yet. You'll get confidence soon enough.
There was a little more peer pressure than before. Just remember, use your best judgement.
High School, as a whole is way way better than middle school was. There were a few important life lessons that I learned. One being to do my best and strive for good grades. These will help you get into the college of your choice.
High School was such a neat time in my life and it really shapes us as individuals. I have memories I'll never forget

Answer 5

1. Boys and girls hang out more in high school than in middle school.

2. There's no rule saying that once you go to highschool, you automatically go on dates. I know people who started dating as a freshman, but I know a lot of people who are sophomores who haven't dated yet.

3. Going to highschool isn't really going to change your personality, but you'll probably gain some confidence. Don't spend all your time worrying about whether or not you're going to get a boyfriend though. Concentrate on having good friends and on doing well in school. You'll have plenty of time to find a boyfriend.

4. Well I don't hang around with people who smoke/do drugs, but if you hang out with those kind of people, then I guess there is probably more peer pressure.

5. I like highschool better. It's similar to middle school, only with harder classes, more people, more extracurricular activites, and less rules (usually). You get to meet a lot of new people.

Answer 6

1.) Ya, usually boys and girls hang out more with each other.

2.) I dont know about the 10th grade and start dating thing, why 10th grade? i dont know the people in your town. maybe no one dated because they do not like each other. dont know...

3.) I doubt it will change. just because you are in high school, wont make any difference. you just have to get over your fear.

4.) about the same amount of peer pressure

5.) YES. high school is SO much better than middle school. there is more people which means more friends, and a ton more stuff to do as far as extra curricular activities.

Answer 7

I don't know exactly about your town but from my own experience:
1. Yes, boys and girls should socialize more together...everyone likes hanging out in mixed groups...but there is still a level of nervousness and insecurity
2.) I didn't notice a ton of dating in high school and my friends were my main social allies ...but there should be dances and group dates that will create opportunities for more one-on-one contact if you like someone in particualr
3.) Yes, you will become more comftorable around guys...they are just as scared as you! relax, make lots of jokes, laugh at their jokes, have fun and don't take yourself too seriously
4.) More peer pressure but if you stay away from the people who might try and get you to do things you don't want to do, you won't feel any drastic change from middle school, keep your friends and try and make new ones that share your interests
5.) High school is usually full of sports, extracurricular activities, new people...its very exciting but remember to have fun, work hard on studying, and try and meet new people

Answer 8

Answer 9

granted, this is just my personal experience, but

1. usually, yes. It starts out the same as middle school, but then couples who are dating tend to bring their friends together, and groups become more mixed.

2. everyone starts dating at different times, but every year it will become more and more common for people to be dating.

3. no, it won't change until you've had some experience, and maybe not even then. but this won't hurt your ability to get a boyfriend too much, a lot of guys like shy girls.

4. for me there was less, but I doubt that's the norm.

5. Middle School, you will come to realize later on, are the worst years of you early. This is true almost universally. High School is infinitely better, especially your last two years.

Answer 10

Well I can say this since it's been 15 years since I graduated high school. People start dating around 15-16 years old. Yes there's a lot of peer pressure, but it's up to you to say NO and resist these things by going around positive ppl. Yeah high school is better than middle school. You're going to find out that people are more cliquish in high school so watch that when you're establishing yourself in a social circle. If you get the best looking guy in school keep your relationships to yourself don't broadcast because that's how fast chicks go after what's not theirs.

Answer 11

1. It just depends on you and your friends. I did, but more of my friends were guys.

2. I didn't date at all in high school because we had some slim pickins, but that is the way most of my classmates where like.

3. No I am still nervous around guys I am attracted to and I am 25 and been out of high school for 7 years.

4. It all depends on the people you hang out with. There wasn't in my group of friends. I am also from a small town and it wasn't bad for me til I got to college.

5.Oh yes.
