High school?
Well at 29 I can sadly say high school were some of the best times of my life. I had fun, way too much fun. You can expect to mesh and form all new different crowds with the mixing of other jounior highschools. You can expect a much fuller work load. Here (if not already) you will be faced with drugs and booze at parties (I really recommened not taking drugs, if anyone calls you *insert bad word here* tell them to cram it). You can definitley expect that you WILL fall desperatley in love with a hot senior boy lol and you are going to make A LOT of new friends and learn what activities you really like and such. That's coming from my experience which was a really good one, though I should have studied harder when I look back cause I don't know my *** from my elbow on how to get places lol. Anyway dont be nervous, it's a new phase in your life that kind of gives you a new chance to start over and re-invent yourself :)





p.s. as for the drama part, it's always going to be drama throughout your life. You expect people to mature and such but they really don't drama is drama and B.S. no matter what age someone is. Sad but true. You'll do fine.
Reply:I skipped the eighth grade and went straight to high school. The most useful thing that I have found to do is to use an agenda. Just get an ordinary notebook, write the date, and write your homework under it, it can keep you very well organized. No matter what, finish your homework, you can easily get an A or B if you just do your homework on time. Also, get a large, heavy duty, backpack.
Reply:high school is good life! im a junior right now and i pretty much enjoyed my high school years. just be yourself and don't be nervous on the first day... and, choose your classes wisely so that you can prepare for college no-problem. just enjoy life as it is... you'll meet alot of friends in high school, and you'll have boyfriends, too. just don't let yourself get too far of the road. =)
Reply:I just graduate from high school last year and now in college. High school is fun... I know i had lots of fun. Go to the football and basketball games, the little fun events (dances and stuff), and get invovled in clubs you think you will enjoy. Because you are going to be a freshman the upper classmen will walk over you... You will do it too when you become one. LoL...





Upperclassmen guys will try to talk to you, because you a freshman and guys think of you as new meat and easy to get over... Dont pay them no mind but dont act stuck up about it. Girls will hate on you because you look better or have this and that. People will talk about you regardeless if its true or not. DONT PAY NONE OF THEM ANY MIND, but DONT LET THEM WALK OVER YOU. Find a clique that will support you and your friends from middle school will change and you might not hang with them anymore... It's life. Get to know people. Dont stay around drama.





Do your class work, home work, make good grades, and talk to your teachers. Some teachers are cool others are not... You'll find out who. Dont stress.





Most of all, make the best out of it... You dont have to Miss Perfect, just do your best. When people say these are your best years they're not lying... It'll be over faster than you think and you'll be in my position sitting in college living off your family and the government money and going by your rules... Now thats the life.





Have fun!!!
Reply:I'm actually having more fun after high school than I did in high school. I worked hard to keep my grades up, went to college. Now I have a great job where I can travel all over the world.





Here's my tip: have great friends. They are the ones who will understand what you are going through.
Reply:well.... my advice is that there's lots of bullies. dont let them get to you. ignore them. boys:


if you are pretty and cute then BOYS is a big prob. they can get in love with you and ask you OUT. you should choose the boy that is: Dependable, Smart, Caring, and Nice. remember my advice!!
