I am going into 9th grade this year and i need advise.?

Answer 1

learn to spell

Answer 2

Avoiding Embarassment:
Find out the layout of the school as soon as you can. Find a map. Memorize it immediately!

Ask a friend in a higher grade to show you around. Ask them for advice specific to your school.

Find a teacher who you consider friendly. Go ask them for help about anything during lunch.

Don't wear clothes that are too outlandish. You don't want the stuff you wear to attract attention. People should notice you, not your clothes.

Find out when lunch is. Line someone up ahead of time to eat lunch with for each day. Pre-determine a meeting place.

Schoolwork:
Keep a small calander or notebook or planner to put all your homework assignments in. Make sure they are all in one place, so you know what is due when. Keep your daily schedule in the front. Also put your locker number, home room number, and other essentials there.

Set aside a little time each day to study. For 9th grade, you should be able to do it in an hour or so. Do it as soon as you come home. Don't play or watch TV or do anything fun until you are done. Finish before dinner. Then you'll have the rest of the evening to do what you want.

Don't waste time in school. When the teacher says you have an extra 15 minutes to do what you want before the next class, don't mess around. Do your homework, and that will be that much less to do when you get home.

General:
Be nice to everyone. The friendlier you are to all kinds of people, the more friends you'll have in each class and the happier you will be.

Find an extra-curricular activity and join it right away. A sport, a club, whatever. You'll make more friends that way.

Answer 3

Well its not a huge deal looking back but I was just talking about this yesterday...I remember the night before I went into high school how nervous I was. There really is no reason to be. You will have all your friends with you and you will make many more friends. high school is a great time. You will learn so much and it will determine a big part of your future. Join groups and be active. You will regret it later on if you don't and colleges like seeing you were active. Avoid drama and remember who your true friends are. Do not be pressured into things that don't feel right to you. You will most likely at some point be presented with things that aren't good...go with your instincts. But for the most part....just have fun...be safe...use your judgement and make good grades so you can get into a good college!!!!! GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

Making the move up to 9th grade is a big step in life, as big as it was for you as 6th grade. Just remember everyone had to go there, and there will be other ones after you. Use you common sense. If it sounds to good to be true, then it isnt. Dont try it, because "everybody else is" cause you wouldn't jump off a bridge because everybody else is.. would you? Don't try to please everybody. Cause you are the only one that needs to please yourself, and be proud of you. And ask your parents if you really have any problems. Cause they had to go through the 9th grade too. And also they can always give you the best adivse(oops) adivce!!!! Really they have your best interest in mind, even if you dont think so.(Something you will see later in your own life) And thats a true statement you caN TAKE TO THE BANK.

Answer 5

You must go to your high school with a willingness to learn. Don't attempt to find folk who are your age for purposes of friendships or any other association. Head for the library and befriend the librarian and obtain some associations with the staff on an inquisitive basis. People, especially adults, are flattered to know that you want their advice. Once you are "in" with the adults, then you can go forward. This is a good move because many adults think that people of your age, are foolish. This way you have reversed the tables. Remember this, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19. Peace and God Bless.

Answer 6

Oh wow freshman year is kinda tough, at least it was for me. I was a total nerd, so if you already got the coolness thing down- good for you. It took me a while to figure out that to be "cool" you had to be yourself at all costs.
On my first day of high school I knew that I was leaving the horror that was junior high behind and embarking on a new life. "Haha!", I thought, new school and a new chance to introduce myself as any persona I want to be. Anyways, I show up in the "coolest" outfit that I could buy, only to find out that half the kids that gave me a hard time in junior high decided to go to that school too, and they weren't being fooled by the shiny "new me". When I got to P.E. that day I sat down next to the girl who would be my best friend ever. She was wearing a brightly colored hawaiian shirt, neon green shorts, bright pumpkin orange tights that had been cut at the thighs and rolled down to her knees(grandma style), and a BIG plastic parrot was hanging around her neck from some gold elastic cord so its wings flapped a little when she moved. This girl knew how to be herself. I struck up a conversation with her and we realized that we had tons in common, and could make each other laugh- a lot. From then on I just let myself be myself regardless of what other people would say.
So here it is in a nutshell: Be yourself! Don't think that following the trends will get you anywhere (unless of course thats what you are into). Don't be afraid to talk to and hang out with people who are different from you because who knows.... they might end up being the best friend you ever had. If a guy tries to pressure you into doing something that you don't feel ready to do, TRUST ME don't do it. He won't respect you or like you more if you do. He is only out for his own personal gain if you know what I mean (and guys talk too, and you don't want to be that kinda girl that the guys are talking about, do you?). If a guy really likes you he'll respect your boundaries and feelings, and that's the truth. Do your best to keep your grades up, because I didn't pay attention in class, and I regret not getting top grades and going to college. I have a good life, but now I have to work harder for what I want. If you do good in high school its like a head start. You can even graduate early if you work for it. And the last thing I want to say is don't settle for a crappy teacher. You don't have to put up with a teacher you aren't learning anything from. It's true and don't forget it. If they give you a teacher that really is wrong, tell an administrater and put up a fuss until they put you in new classes. Don't settle for less when it comes to what you want to learn. Wow that was a lot of info. Good Luck!

Answer 7

9th grade was a living hell for me, so here's the best advice I can give you that I wish someone would have given me:

1.) Always, ALWAYS be yourself. The people who mind don't matter, and the people who matter don't mind.
2.)Never gossip about others.
3.)When being picked on, just ignore it. Showing your hurt or fighting back will only make them feel like they are succeeding.
4.)CLIQUES DON'T MATTER! If you don't fit in, oh well, high school is just a minuscule part of your life and being part of a useless group of people does not make you a better person and once you're out of school, it serves absolutely no purpose.
5.)Don't give in to peer-pressure. Be strong and don't be a follower.
6.)Respect your teachers. Yes many of them are idiots, but the more you make life easier for them, the more they will make life easier for you.
7.)Concentrate on your studies, not socializing. Education is why you're at school, not to talk about boys and clothes.
And finally,
8.)Always do your homework. Keeping up with your work will make life easier on your teachers, your parents, and most importantly, you.

Wish you the best of luck :Corbyn.

Answer 8

Relax and have fun. But, you will need to apply yourself to all your classes. Remember your cumulative GPA starts now.
I also think you need to get involved in after school activities like sports or some clubs. It always seemed to me that the busy kids were the ones that made time for all of their activities while the uninvolved kids never had time for anything. Enjoy your high school years, they will go fast and then you will be faced with the real world.

Answer 9

even though those years seem like forever, that "being popular" is all it is about, and you have an insatiable desire to have FUN - at all costs... just remember one thing:

don't believe the hype.

these years are more important than you can imagine, for one reason only: honestly, it is all about what you can learn, and how you can prove yourself academically or physically (in sports). You can go really far in life, if you can do both.

the rest of your life hinges on these 4 very important years, though no one tells you this... and if they do, you may not believe them. it's true. colleges and future potential employers care about your performance at this young age, and your future success depends on it. seriously, your future career is determined as early as middle school, and set in motion in high school.

this doesn't mean to forsake any extracurricular fun. make friends - from all of the "groups" and cliques. do what you know is right - no one can do that for you. stay FAR AWAY from the boys... they are only looking for a conquest, at this age. don't fall for older guys, either, as they make it appear that they are sincere... but are only preying on your innocence.

try to stay as open & honest as you can with your parents. join a youth group, and do group projects that help the community. there you will find fulfillment. also, get a job as soon as you are old enough... but, don't try to work too many hours - you have the rest of your life to do so.

as far as driving goes, it's better to have an older car for your first, in case you get into a fender bender... i know it seems trite to say "not to worry - you have the rest of your life ahead of you"...

i sadly, didn't listen to this advice myself, and ended up trying to live life too fast - tried to experience it ALL - as quickly as possible. that was my biggest mistake, and something i regret. if i had it to do over again, i'd follow this advice.

Answer 10

Don't be an obnoxious Freshman...you look really bad...my friends were loud and annoying and I felt like an idiot with them because they were acting so immature, and obviously that annoys people. Also make ALOT of friends...it helps to always know someone in your classes. O and use a school map and find all your classes ahead of time, that way you arent running around all confused your first day. GOod Luck!

Answer 11

Be confident and you'll find a good group of friends. Also be fashionable, with whatever style you go with. But the most important rule to live by, don't let any guys in your pants - that's all they want.
