High school?

I'm starting high school this year, and I'm kind of worried. Is there anything specific I should and shouldn't do in order to keep my friends WHILE staying focused??

High school?
don't do drugs (dont worry, you're not gonna be ambushed by someone dealing crack as soon as you walk in the door lol!!!!) and just be yourself. it's no different than middle school other than the fact that it's WAYYY BETTER!!!! you have more freedom, the teachers (most of them at least) treat you like an adult and it's a great time to get away from those silly middle school stereotypes. theres far fewer cliques in high school than in middle school. you'll keep your friends and get new ones too. just don't let your social life take up all your time. you're going to have to do a LOT more work. use an agenda, stay organized (i choose to color code my subjects) and do assignments as soon as they are given to you. don't worry. high school will be great =]
Reply:well don't believe the rumors going around that say that freshmen get dumped in trashcans, get egged or beat up by upperclassmen because its not true. Also make sure you keep your grades up your freshman year because if you screw up you might end up like some of my friends who had to take summer school and adult ed this summer because they fell behind their freshman year. Don't keep anything valuable in your locker either because its most likely that it will get stolen especially if everyone knows you have something valuable in there and because of that don't give your combination to anyone because you never know who you can really trust. Make sure you be yourself and you'll be fine. If your friends don't want to hang out with you anymore because they think your changing then they aren't TRUE friends because they don't accept you for just trying to be yourself. And don't worry no one really cares about how you look in high school. Only the really immature people do but ignore them cuz they're jerks. You can also try out for sports which will look good when your applying for college(if you decide to go that is)

Reply:Starting high school is a new experience entirely, giving you many opportunities to meet new individuals through clubs and a more extensive list of sports and after-school activities. As you and your friends find niches in different clubs and start to gain interest in new subjects and languages, interacting with them in high school can become more of a challenge when your aim is to remain focused on your work and other assignments.





If you and your friends share similar interests, convince them to join clubs that you are considering to be a part of. This will allow you to have more time with them in an environment that embraces what both of you enjoy. You can even try to start your own club to manage - enjoying new friends in the process and contributing even more.





True, the amount of work you're given multiplies in high school, and a higher level of maturity and dedication is expected from your teachers while you're in the classroom. Most of my teachers had a low tolerance for discussions not pertaining to the subject, so, to avoid trouble, don't speak with friends that much during classroom hours.





Still, you won't be buried in work each day. Continue to see your current friends outside of school on a daily basis, and set up times when they can come over and study. It's not the most exciting thing to do, but it gives you all a common goal.





You'll make new friends, too, so don't be afraid to sign up for new clubs and activities. These are the years where you consider what path you want to take, but it's an extremely fun ride.
