High School?

Ok, today, I was betryaed by one of my best friends since 6th grade (im in 10th now) because basicaly they got pissed that I didnt come to school because there was a shooting threat, so they text messaged me a message basicaly calling me a coward, so I got upset and text messaged them back, then they text messaged back, then I texted my friend saying "dont even think about talking to me tommorow, asshole". How do I get over this and make new friends ?

High School?
If this is really something that is worth ruining a long friendship over than stand your ground, but make sure that it is worth it. I am currently in college and I don't talk to any of my high school friends because of something I thought was really important, but when I look back at it, it wasn't important enough to ruin a 4 year friendship with my 6 best friends. If it is worth it, get involved in different activities that interest you and you will meet people there.

High school....?

ok so heres my story....i go to Memorial but i belong to another school(PSJA North)....me and my mom made a deal that if i passed the semester i would have the option of going to raiders...well i passed....and i wanna go back...but....i heard that theres alot of drama...and i dont need that. And also all the girls over there seem to be getting pregnant...and i dont want to be a teenage mother. What should i do?? i miss all my old friends...and i had to break up with my boyfriend because we were never going to be together....please help me out!!

High school....?
So what if other girls are getting pregnant? That has nothing to do with you. You don't want to be a teenage mom? Great! Then don't have sex!!





There is drama in every high school. You do not go to school to make friends, although it is a nice bonus when you do. You go to school to learn and better yourself, and get good grades so that you can go to college.





It sounds to me like things at your new school are fine. I'd say stay there and keep focused on your studies. You can always talk to your friends on the weekends!
Reply:if you want to go back for friends, do what you want. you can go back and make the right choice to not have sex or if you do use protection. you dont have to become a mom just because everyone else is doing it :)
Reply:I WOULDN'T GO TO THE SCHOOL ONLY BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE TONS OF FREINDS AND A BOYFRIEND IN THE OTHER SCHOOL.
Reply:follow your heart on this one. if you want to go back to your old school, do it. if you don't, don't. you have to trust yourself, and make the best decision.


High school!!!!!!!?

Im a senior girl in high scool ....is it ok to date a junior???


or is the girl being older than the boy kinda weird???

High school!!!!!!!?
Girl do it!!!! There is nothing wrong with a girl dating someone younger than herself. If men can do it all of the time then women can too. Also this will make good practice for you because women don't reach their sexual peak until their 40's and men in their 40's start to slow down sexually. So get it while the gettins good!!!!!
Reply:Dating an under class-men does not work . When you Graduate and move on to college . Your going to meet other people and forget all about the kid back in High school. Besides if you do then he will brag to all his friends that he is doing a Senior even if he's not ...... Think about it first . I suggest you don't...
Reply:no it's completely fine. who cares, you guys are gona break up in less than a month anyways just enjoy it while it lasts.
Reply:i think that if you are comfortable go for it
Reply:no it isn't. I am in a really good reltionship with a woman nine years older than me.
Reply:its fine, dont worry, ive been older than almost all of ,my bf's, so dont worry





lots of luv,


ezza
Reply:A year isn't much of a difference. I think it's okay.





But I personally think that dating while in highschool isn't good.
Reply:its ok but baby dnt get serious abt him ok... bcoz u r too young to take decision abt who ll be ur bf....
Reply:Are you going to let the social norms of high school run your love life? Come on this is 2006. Girls can do anything that guys can do if not better. As long as you like this guy and he likes you go for it and don't let anyone stop you from being happy.
Reply:no that is fine...when i was a sophmore i dated a senior and it worked out just fine

High school?

can someone make it into nba even if thier school dosent have very good basketball program

High school?
Nobody can make it from high school to the nba anymore.
Reply:Yes, see if you can get on some other travel team during the offseason, or try to get into tournaments where there are scouts.
Reply:Yes. Carlos Boozer came from a small town in Alaska, and I'm sure it didn't have an amazing basketball program. So really college is what is important.
Reply:take everything step by step first. and the thing after high school is college. worry about getting in to college b4 anything. and the way 4 that is to get college scouts to notice u. if not many college scouts come 2 ur games, ask ur coach 4 help. ask him how to make highlight videos to send to colleges. good luck.


High school!?

I need any tips. My sister said it's fun, but I don't know! I have to sit in a gym in the mornings till school starts, and I really want to ride with a friend!

High school!?
you'll just have to suck up the sitting in the gym part and not having a ride with your friend. those things are completely minor. and you probably don't want to hear it, but your sister is right. high school really is fun. you are way more respected by your teachers and you have way more freedom than you had in middle or elementary school.
Reply:To meet more people, join a club, sport, or run for office. You have to put yourself out there, but it'll be totally worth it. In every one of your classes make it a point to talk to a different person everyday. You'll end up knowing SO many people, it'll be great!





Try not to carry more than two textbooks at a time, you'll look overloaded and that's not cute.





People love people who are cool, confident, fun, funny, nice, and friendly. Don't overthink what you say. Just say it and be yourself.





Good luck!
Reply:tips? go around the gym and say hi to some people. before long, you'll be making new friends and the mornings in the gym will pass by in a flash. good luck!
Reply:no offense but whats the question?
Reply:don't worry u will find lots of friends in high school and stop going to gyms


High School?

So, I had a trip to my HS today and it wasnt as scary as i thought it would be. But, I am not one of those people who have a set intersest and there aren't any clubs that I am really interested in joining. Everyone says clubs are the best way to make friends b/c next year all my friends are going to a different school... so what shoukd I do force myself to join a club or trust that i will make good friends in classes?

High School?
honestly, how much time do you think you will have to socialize and make friends in class? I don't allow my students much time to meet each other and get to know each other,there is too much actual class work to get done.


I highly recommend finding something that is of interest to you and going for it... be it an elective class that will allow more "get to know me" time, or an extra-curricular activity.
Reply:well.. youd be more asked to hang out.. if you went to the clubs.., its a better social standing then in the classroom. where people are more relaxed.., then focused on their studies.
Reply:U should really know whatcha doin.Be yourself and make good


friends in class like me.When I first started school,I make


friends in class.People would also make friends with you.


It don't count how much friends you get,just be yourself and


that's you.Goodluck in high school!


High School?

im a 10th sophmore, i only have a 3.0 rite now but this semester getting a 4.0 weighted. Just a month ago, I received my revelation in academics and religion. Now,im doing well in school. However, It still feels like my friends are still trying to exclude me out of the group. What should i do? Its just this one guy who kind of like orders everyone else wat to do. Im kind of depressed about my social life. My only good friends are from my church,but they are all a year younger then me.Im lost.

High School?
Hun, don't let negative vibes get you down. Keep your head above the crowd, think positive. Your optimist behavior will prove a good thing for you in the future. Good luck hun.

High school???

i havent been to school since december im in the tenth grade i wanted to drop out at the time but now i want to go back because i realized what a stupid idea it was..i wanted to know if it would be a good idea to go back NOW or wait till next year to start off fresh as a sophmore AGAIN

High school???
Speak to your principal and guidence counselor. They can make accomodations for you to make up all the work you owe and get back on track. You don't have to wait until next year.
Reply:Absolutely, Positively, Without a Doubt, GO BACK NOW!!!





Do not walk.... RUN


Run back to school.


Not next week not tomorrow, but NOW absolutely now.
Reply:Go back now!
Reply:Wow. Kinda just like me.


I haven't gone to school since the beginning of december and i'm in tenth grade.





I' just don't feel like going.. but anyway I think you should just go and get the year done with now. There's only 4 more months but atleast you're getting some work done and starting with the 2nd term.
Reply:i would definately NOT wait..go back NOW and talk to your guidance counselor he/she will be able to get you back on the right track..congratulations on making the right choice of going back to school!!


High School?

Well tommorow is the first day of school year. Im 17 and i'll be in 11th grade. So what are the rules of highschool? I wanna start off fresh. Tell me everything. About reputation, love, studies, safety of getting beaten up, sports and etc. Because last year kinda sucked.

High School?
Just be yourself, be cool with everyday, have fun, study hard and just live everyday stressfree or try to anyway. don't get beat up and walk away from stupid situations, don't get caught up in unnecessary drama.
Reply:Don't care what other people think.


Stay true to yourself first and foremost.
Reply:School is barely starting for you over there? Wow.


Just don't talk crap about people behind their back and you won't get beat up. As for studies, do the work and study. Slacking off is gonna make your grades go down and if you plan on getting into college then decent grades matter now more than ever. You're gonna hear talk about college, sure it seems awhile away still but listen and actually try to use the advice on it. High school goes by fast. Lastly, just be yourself and don't pull an act in order to get people to like you. It's lame when people try to be something they're not. Be positive about this year and just meet new people and have fun. Like I said, high school goes by fast so enjoy it before it all goes away and you're in college-where's theres more work.





All the best!!!
Reply:In High School...every day sucks. It's the same crap from middle school with the expection that popular is the most important thing in High School. That will explain all the drama that you're going to see. I guarantee that, but otherwise don't change and if you are going to change is to improve your future, don't change for the people around you. Oh, and beware of some the teachers at high school. Don't get me wrong there are some pretty cool teachers in high school, but others talk crap about you behind your back and try to screw you over. Just keep it cool, don't start anything unless you really want to get in trouble, and try to enjoy your four years of hell.
Reply:keep ur mouth shut!! dont start stuff..and be ur self!!

High school?

didnt make the team at fall tryouts. i gave all my heart out. gave a great esay, stayed up late for tryouts. my "friend" made the team great for her. but now she acts like she doesent know me and treats me so badly. like only calls me when she needs help. what ev. if i decide to try out again. what can i do in order to make the team. please, there are no other sports in the winter that are interesting. plus the girls on the team we never seemed to talk to me. their not the type of people that i associate with. not the same interests, at least theones from middle school

cheerleading is over rated believe me!! does your school have a dance team or anything like that? but if not you can always dance/cheer somewhere outside of school for like a competitive team if you are willing to pay the $$ because competitive cheering is much better than school cheering!

Reply:If it is really what you want to do, go for it. I've tried out for a team two years in a row and I have not made it but at least I tried. If you dont try, you'll never know what could have been. And about your friend, talk to her about it. If she doesn't take the time and effort to sit down with you and talk about something like that then its likely that she isn't really that great of a friend in the first place. Don't try too hard to keep a relationship with someone who treats you like dirt... it will only hurt you in the long run. Good luck!
Reply:what sport? sucks about ur friend, practice before u tryout again, and be friendly around those other girls. make the first moves of kindness and dont feel stupid about doing it.

there was drama over the summer and now me and my two best friends are left without a group. We have friends but its gonna be hard. What do we do, we dont even no where to sit on the first day of school. We plan to be social and all that good stuff but i want advice from the public. so speak up.

High school?
yeah your so mean everone else why should anyone give a **** about your promblems your are you ******* insulting.





I HATE YOU!
Reply:Group? There is your first mistake .. the one problem that teenagers in high school think they need is to have a " group" of friends, but really in the end .. you don't. Keep the real friends by your side, within these couple of years .. you will realize that someone is gonna backstab you, and you will go through drama about friendships .. Dont worry so much about it.
Reply:it seems like you and you your friends are really close because then you wouldnt be worried...i think since you are close you should talk to each other and settle it because its probably going to cause more problems later in the year..find out whats wrong and a way to fix it ...you shouldnt let a problem break your friendship up...if its something really big that cant be settled over night or soon then you need to decide what is really important and go with the choice that you feel is right....think about it.





hope this helps!!!
Reply:think that you guys should stay close and forget about the other have fun, socialize, and smaile make your own group


High School?

Picture day is on the first day of school, and I need some suggestions on what I should wear and what I shouldn't.


Any make-up dos, and don't, will highly be appericated and automatically be given the 10 points.





Ex,


Never wear white or black clothes... etc.

High School?
I would suggest wearing something bright and kinda fancy not too fancy just has sum detail to it not plain or boring..and ur right don't wear black and white.. when it comes to makeup (DONT OVER USE THE MAKEUP) its nice to have a more natural look then a clutter of makeup on ur face...maybe a little coverup some eyeliner and cute lip gloss...and hair if u straighten ur hair then straighten it or u can curl it or moose it but don't put it up in a ponytail or bun..


hope i helped...


Good Luck!
Reply:well since its the first day of school, you should consider casual dress since people will def. be checking you out ;]





since you have tan skin and what not.. colors that probably look good on you would be a melon color, a beige color, yellow, or a bright sky blue.. the top should be cute or whatever your comfortable in.





as for make up and hair, just be yourself. you dont want to look back on your school picture and think to yourself "what was i thinking, this doesnt even look like me" thats what you should always keep in mind.. because usually when you try to hard for school pics, you end up hating it.. at least thats what ive found. good luck
Reply:wear a solid colored shirt ...patterens never come out well in photos, and looking back on old yearbooks ive also realized that scrunced hair with like gell (i mean like scrunced not curly) also comes out horribly
Reply:Wear something that is a nice color on you, and smile with a natural grin. Act natural (even though it's hard to do that in school pictures =D). Don't stress...people aren't going to judge you on your school picture THAT much...unless they're super judgmental or something...
Reply:k dont wear your hair in a pony tail, wear more natural make up.
Reply:ur make up should be natural and just like ur everyday look, do a simple hairstyle, but dont put it up...wear a top that goes best with ur skin tone and hair color
Reply:Makeup doesn't matter they end up editing the pics anyway (well here they do)
Reply:Don't wear your hair up because then you will look like a boy. Do wear mascara and a little bit of eyeliner if you want to, but it's not necessary. Don't wear any more makeup than that because it will come out looking weird in the picture. As for clothing colors I guess it depends on your skin tone.
Reply:Wear something that looks nice but still says who you are... do your make up the same way you normaly do and be you. That is how people remember you.





When i look in my hs year book i see people who put there all in the year book but then didn't dress or wear make you like that through the year i i think now and thought then that they are posers... So please if you take anyadvice form me BE U

High school?
You'll do great. I remember the horrible feeling of 9th grade starting, but you'll be suprised. It's not as scary as you think, and if you don't get into the bad crowd, etc, you'll be fine. Just hurry and get your stuff, get to class atleast one to one %26amp; 1/2 minutes early because 1. teachers like that. 2. as soon as people realize theres only a minute left, they run, and its hard to not get run over/make it to class yourself.





I hope that helps.


Have no fear, you'll do great.
Reply:im ending 9th right now and my advice is dont worry at all! high school gets so much hype thats not even worth it





just be cool dont try and act like your something your not (i have seen many kids try and get older friends this way) and especially when you are yourself your more likely to get good friends also get active participate in sports and clubs
Reply:Well, you'll have a FEW freinds from Middle School.





It's NOT much different, except 16 year olds drive cars and park in the lot and there is a line of cars waiting to turn into the lot.





And Senior Girls are Foxes and know it and are snobs (how did you deal with them in your first year of Middle School).





Oh, yeah, you will see a few people in doorways at lunch kissing.





Oh, yeah, you will see a lot of kids taking a smoke break.

Talk to a school counselor.The situation with universities here if you miss by a couple of points then you dont qualify to do the course you want to do,and you have to look at other options.


High school?

I am going into highschool in a couple of years, like 1 1/2 years. I have my profession set up, for college and everything. I want to become a Veternarian. What electives should I take in highschool to help prepare my for vet school, in college.

High school?
You should focus on the sciences, Chemistry, Biology, Physics.


You should also take Calculus and Statistics, a co-op placement with a local vet may well be helpful. Since it's possible that some of your future "human" clients may have difficulty in communicating in English, taking one or more foreign language courses could be a good idea. I would also suggest taking Philosophy if it's available, since there are ethical issues in the medical treatment of animals, just as there are in the medical treatment of humans.





Good Luck and all the best in the future!
Reply:alot of science n maybe math related electives. you should join the science club.
Reply:Take your regular classes. It also depends on what your school has to offer...





I would recommend a lot of science courses like AP biology, AP chemistry, etc.
Reply:slllllloooooooowwwwwww down. I changed my idea for a profession twice, and I'm a junior in high school. Wait till you are IN high school to make that decision. But, if you must... biology,,, uh, it's kinda hard to find good electives for a medical profession in high school.





But, anyway... good luck!
Reply:Wow, you are planning ahead! Math and science the highest levels you can take. You will need biology, chemistry at the least. Some high schools even have animal science classes. When you are in high school, make sure that you take the time to sit down with a counselor and see what they suggest.

High School?

ok, im in the 10th grade, and I want to take AP english, my grade in english is an A. At my school, you need to get teacher initials for recommendation to any AP class, when I asked my english teacher which AP class I should take, she said american lit(regular english). English has always been my best subject and I really want to take AP. Should I take the english AP exam and if I pass do the class anyways ?

High School?
I think you should... I also plan on taking a AP English %26amp; AP US History class next year! It won't be easy... but if you take notes, keep up with your work, and study then I'm sure you'd do good! Keep your grades up!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Yea, I think you should, definitely. If you want to and you're ready to, then go for it. A little comment like that shouldn't hold you back. Best of luck
Reply:Yes definnetly. If you pass the ap exam you get college credit for your first year and part of your softmore year. This is more important if you take ap cal ab and ba and ap bio, chem and physics ap us history and world history and microeconomics and macroeconomics. The more AP that you take the better when you get to college. The top schools like Harvard, Yale, NYU, Cornell Columbia, UChicago, UPenn. and so on like this and this is how the applicant pool is.
Reply:okay well my take is that if your teachers say no but you think you can, site back and think a little bit.One hand you think you can your grades look great. Other hand your teachers aren't recommending you for that class. Maybe or have you asked Why.. Ask and be like Why do u think i wont be able to maintain a high grade.. But if your gut feeling says do it than hey take the test and prove them wrong but if your second guessing it than i wouldn't do it... But hey don't take my word do what makes You feel comfortable safe and assure yourself a "A".. Hope this helps you in a way. Just trust ur instincts


High School?

Ok so i'm going into a completely new school with no one i know next year, my only problem is i dress in dark attire so most people see me as a dark and violent person and sometimes fear me, but i'm acually really nice. How do i make people realize that i'm a nice person without changing the way i look?

High School?
Smile! I was the same way too...I loved the punk scene but wasn't some angsty world hating teen. I found that always having a smile ready showed people that i wasn't hostile in any way. Be enthusiastic when meeting people, show that you are glad to meet them etc. etc. Its good to hear about people like you, rock on!!

Which is better to do , carry a big tote bag from a store like hollister or whatever like this-








http://www.hollisterco.ca/webapp/wcs/sto...





OR


http://www.abercrombie.ca/webapp/wcs/sto...








Or is it better to carry a back pack?











And for girls who carry totes instead of backpacks, do you use the tote as a purse too and keep everything inside, or do you carry the tote(with books and school supplies) and a purse?





I'm really confused of what to do? I want to use the easiest thing.





please help!








thanks!

High school?
Definitely a BACKPACK. People don't care wear your clothes and accessories come from, plus you really would want to carry your books like that all day? Backpacks are bigger and can hold more things. Totes are more for summer and the beach and they wouldn't be able to hold books, supplies, and other things.
Reply:use a large tote if you're going for whats "in" right now, but a backpack is def. ,more easy to carry. Usually totes have a small pouch insde where you can put your wallet and essentials in it and then transfer it to a purse when you're not at school.
Reply:those are so cute and i am getting a tote for my school bag to i would wear that bag when i go to the beach and stuff but i would still wear it to school


but i think u should get white because those wont match everything that u wear


hear is the one im getting

oh yeah and i wouldnt pay 50$ just for a bag (the abercrombie one)like the one i showed are only 20 and 12 bucks and they are from abercrombie too
Reply:I think both totes are cute. But you're better off using a backpack depending on the amount of books etc. that you have to carry.
Reply:i love the hollister tote and i carry everything inside it
Reply:totes are cute, but i used one all last year and as a result had a lot of back problems. i'd reccommend using a backpack unless you won't have a lot of things to carry around. as for the purse question, its probably easier to just keep all your things in one bag
Reply:I have a bookbag on my back, and then a tote as my purse. That way, in my purse i can put my changed of clothes for aerobics, hair brush and straightener, and everything else i need. It's so much easier becausee when you ahve to put all your books in the tote, it gets really heavy and a hassel to carry on one shoulder.
Reply:just ahve like a small makeup bag with stuff that you would normally have in your purse, and i like the abercrombie bag better.
Reply:i have a totebag from hollister, but i use a backpack just because the tote gets so heavy on my shoulder walking around. its soo much easier to use a backpack. im in honors classes and i get easily distracted, so i have a lot of stuff to take home after the day is over, and i cant fit all my books into the tote comfortably. you may not have that problem though, but high school is the best, so enjoy it!
Reply:uh. personally i love tote's.


also messenger bags are amazing. :]


very nice, i hate backpacks.





i dont really like that hollister one, but the abercrombie ones ok.





i dont really shop at either of those storys, normally a place like "charrlote Russe" or "forever 21"
Reply:well i wood say a backpack wood b better but that is just me





after a while your shoulder will start to hurt and u will wish u had a backpack so instead of going throo all that just get a backpack.......
Reply:I carry a large tote. I don't use my tote as a purse because that would be weird. School is not my life, I don't want to carry homework around with me when I go out.
Reply:tote b/c u can have it as a backpack and purse, unless you have a lot of school supplies %26amp; textbooks to carry then use a backpack and have a normal purse
Reply:Use a tote and a purse. Backpacks are totally out. They are bulky and not all that stylish (even if they are "Jansport"). This way you can interchange your tote cuz they are usually cheaper than backpacks.


High school?

me and my family just migrated from the philippines..i dont really know what to expect when i go to school..am kinda nervous and at the same time excited..i need advices on what to wear..cuz back in manila we use uniforms :)


and how do u use the locker..cuz my mom didnt let me use a locker back in the phil..


thnx for ur answers..


and am i goin to be the youngest in our class cuz am goin to be a junior and am only 14

High school?
1. High school is similar around the world. Wear what seems natural to wear for you (be yourself!). I would suggest nothing showing your stomach, no spaghetti straps, nothing too sexual.





2. locks are pretty easy once you get used to them. If this is your combination: 12-23-4





First you turn the lock around several times to the right to "clear" it. Then, going in the right/clockwise direction, turn it to the notch "12." After that, turn in left/counterclockwise direction to "23," but keep going one extra turn until you come to "23" again (you go over the second number twice). Then turn right/clockwise until you come to "4" (don't go over it twice, just hit it once). Pull the lever or pull on the lock and it should open.





So again, simply: clear, go right to 1st number, go left to 2nd number twice over, go to right to 3rd number (once), open





A great way to make friends is to join clubs or sport teams. They probably have something you are interested--maybe art, music, sports, literature, cheerleading, whatever. That's the best way to make friends in high school.





Good luck!
Reply:Well what you wear all really depends on what your personality is. My favorite store is American Eagle (they are at most malls in the U.S.) If you aren't really sure what to wear, go to the store and pick up a Seventeen magazine, and a Cosmo Girl. They generally have printed what styles are popular right now.





How do you use the locker? You put your books and your back pack in it. I don't know if the lockers at the school you're going to has locks or not, but either way I would keep your valuables (cell phone, iPod, money) with you.





Good luck!
Reply:its fine... it depends what youre in to





Im into kinda skater surfer ware... so i dress with accordance to that... i wear quiksilver (my fav brand) and some vans, etnies, volcom, circa ect.





I suggest wearing clothes with just a logo or words on it... NO PICTURES... pictures are too kiddish... just get some like shorts, boardshorts (bathingsuit shorts without lining), jeans, or shirts...





Lockers are easy.. the first # (number) you twist twice clockwise and find the #





The second # you go backwards (counter clockwise) past the first number and then find your second number





The third # you go clockwise again and just find the number





You will be the youngest in your class/ grade but it shouldnt matter if your smart... just be yourself, put a a smile on your face and be nice... try to make some opposite sex friends (sry i dont know your gender)... they usually get the POP in popularity going

High School?

is high skool all it's cracked up to be. my fellow freshmen friends say it's just four long years of hearache, stressful college prep, and cliques. What is your opinion?

High School?
it can be some of the best times and the worst times. try not to let the actual academic part run your life because you'll regret it if you dont go to like football and basketball games and dances, because you're too worried about homework and stuff. but dont slack off either. i slacked off majorly my freshman and sophomore years, and part of the reason i didnt get into the college that i wanted to go to was because of that. just try to enjoy it as much as possible because what people say is true, its over before you know it and you dont want to have any regrets!





oh ... and dont be too worried about what other people think of you! the second you graduate everyone could care less who was friends with who, and who wore what..


good luck in high school!!
Reply:Take if from someone who graduated from HS in 1998. Enjoy every minute of HS!!! I know there is allot of pressure in HS with friends and prep for college, but the HS years are some of the best years of your life. Enjoy !!!!
Reply:Yep, that's about it! But it can also be a blast! New friendships, new great teachers, sports, afterschool activities, etc.





All depends on how you look at it, and how you HANDLE it.





Me, I couldn't wait to get OUT of h.s., but everyone is different. :-)





Try to have fun!!
Reply:Personally i think high school is exhausting. I am rising sophmore and i am always worn out.
Reply:They are right. I have had a learning disability all my life it was hard for me to cope with this problem when I got to high school. People never change it is the same throughout time. People are prick and mean. Find a group that you like and fit into focus your energy on your academics take lots of college and advance placement classes and I stress calculus get that out of the way and your hard science. Get involved with the math clubs and the debate team. Don't be a dumb cheer leader. If you want to go to a good college they want to see the nerdy activity not the stereotypical social cliques.
Reply:well i have friends that r gonna be sophmores and they say its awesome but maybe it depends on the school.. idk well good luck w/ that!!:)
Reply:High school was a blast for me. I would go back and do it all again if I could. Envolve yourself as much as possible. You only get out of things what you put in!
Reply:I was in high school long ago.. NO it does determine you future though. All your grades and tests you take do really really good on them or you'll be stuck with idiots in college. High school determines a lot of things. Through mylife experinces I realized that i hung out with the wrong people good thing I got a away I ended up with a gothic person whom I married. High school will have "heartache" but it's petty things. You'llhave drama because everyone's a teenageand they don't think like older people uh.. some college people still think like high school kids. Well have fun 4years are going t be long hard and make sure you hang out with the right people. Be with the smart kids because you might end up smart and succeed in life.
Reply:It depends. Some say that its the best years of their life- I thought this until I went to college. Some people had it bad during school, its different for all people. Just know that no matter what, bad or good, it gets much better in college


High School?

ok, im in the 10th grade, and I want to take AP english, my grade in english is an A. At my school, you need to get teacher initials for recommendation to any AP class, when I asked my english teacher which AP class I should take, she said american lit(regular english). English has always been my best subject and I really want to take AP. Should I take the english AP exam and if I pass do the class anyways ?





And what should I say if I pass the AP test and the counselor tries to say that I didnt get a teacher recommendation ?

High School?
Tell the councilor that you felt qualified to take the course, but wanted to take the test to prove it. If you have to, go to the teacher, and explain how well you did on the test, and ask for the recommendation.
Reply:if you think you can do it, go through with it
Reply:i took the AP English exam last year. It's two parts, mulitple choice and then 3 essays. You really have to have to be in a good and persuasive habit of writing in order to be able to write decent content for the essays. After alot of practice, you'll do fine on that part. The mulitiple choice however, is a little more difficult, at least it was for me. you just read passages and asnwer questions, and the questions deal with literary terms mostly. for example they might ask you where in the story taht you read do u see a hyperbole or personification, but they give u much HARDER terms that you have to go over and memorize to understand what they mean. GOod luck with whatever you choose!

High school ?

is it harder than middle school?





are the people still inmature?





what clothes are in?

High school ?
dont worry about it if ur goin to be a freshman than take classes that some upperclassmen take as well to make new friends and have a better year and high school is not much harder than middle school well atleast freshman year isnt ill have to wait and c for my sophemore year but yea so far my freshman year has been my best year yet i know a lot of people that are seniors, juniors, sophemores and of course freshman im just sad that some of my sernior friends are graduating o well and dont worry ull do fine and just wear the clothes that u like
Reply:Yes, high school is much harder than middle school. I work in a middle school and if I were you I would start learning how to grow up because in high school it is a different ball game. The nonsense that you or others played in middle school will not be tolerated in high school (much stricter and adult consequences).





There are people that are immature but they have to learn how to grow up and act like an adult quickly in order to adapt to high school.





As far as clothes-dress in the style that you most feel comfortable with, don't try to hard to impress others, and remember to be yourself and strive to succeed.
Reply:yeah its harder than middle school and yes people are still inmature and i guess hollister is in for preps and normal people go to old navy and walmart


High School?

Ok, today, I was betryaed by one of my best friends since 6th grade (im in 10th now) because basicaly they got pissed that I didnt come to school because there was a shooting threat, so they text messaged me a message basicaly calling me a coward, so I got upset and text messaged them back, then they text messaged back, then I texted my friend saying "dont even think about talking to me tommorow, asshole". How do I get over this and make new friends ?

High School?
You were only trying to protect yourself, so dont feel bad about what you did. If you boyfriend was involved in all of this, he is certainly not a good boyfriend. There are lots of people out there that you can begin hanging out with. So, be in search of new people who make sense in all they do. If they are good and honest people, they wouldnt mind having you around.

YOU BETTER GO TO PROM!!!! When I was in school, I was going to miss mine and I'm soooo glad I didn't. IT's normal to feel that way about school... I mean, you've been doing it your whole life. I will say that once You get out, you will wish you were back though. Just enjoy it for the next couple weeks, b/c once you graduate, It's a whole nother ball game.

Don't worry about it at all. Everyone is always nervous to start a new school. I've gone to two highschools. One in my homestate of Minnesota and one in New York. I also went to a school in Winnipeg Canada for when I lived there for a few years. Going to a new school like this was always nerve racking, but when I got there I realized it was not so bad. Just remember to be friendly to people and you will make friends. Once you make friends, it will seem like a breeze. Also, don't freak yourself out too much. Your mind always makes things seem worse than they are going to end up to be. Don't worry, you will be fine. Trust me.

High school??

umm i am going to start grade 9 in toronto and i was wondering what day school starts and wat school supplies i need thanks for helping

High school??
2 or 3 notebooks


2 or 3 binders


Pack of dividers


Wide ruled paper


College ruled paper


Graph paper


Scientific calculator


Protractor


Pencil Compass


Book Covers
Reply:Talk to your school counselor about that
Reply:i live in the us but last year i was in 9th grade and all the supplies i had were a 1.5 inch binder, a 5 subject note book, and then a one subject notebook. im very organized so i was able to put every thing in one binder. i hate having to carry around binders for every class. i have no idea when your school starts though, sorry. i don't know what school you go to and almost every school is different. but i go back on the 5th
Reply:well all the schools i know, american and canadian, are starting on the 4th of september. the day after labour day.








the things u should bring on the first day are:


-some papers in a folder


-a few pens and pencils,


-your scedule


-and maybe a nice totebag to put it all in :)





on the first day of school your teachers will tell you what is CRUCIAL for that class (ie. graphing calculator for math.. my english teacher told us on the first day last year that she would NEVER nolerate pencils.. lol)


basically, i ended up with a couple of notebooks, a two inch binder and a composition notebook at the end of the year :)





P.S- bring glue/tape and scissors to school. omg, people ALWAYS need them, but no oneeee ever has them ;)
Reply:No offense, but do you really think asking people on "yahoo answers" will help? Try looking it up on the school's website, that should probably help.
Reply:Maybe you should ask the school this question.Dont they send out lists?
Reply:first of all i dont think people say "grade 9" at least not in the US. if there are Staples stores in canada then you can go there and get a supply sheet from them they have them directed by grades. about your school date you might get a mail [usually sent out to all freshmen tellling them about activities and when school starts] a few weeks or days before school starts.


good luck!
Reply:one zip-up fabric binder for each of your academic subjects


one normal plastic binder for non-academic subjects


a pack of 10 pencils


a pencil case


a pack of pencil crayons


a pack of felts


a few fineliners


TONS of paper (graph paper for math)


a good quality backpack


a bag to hold gym strip


locker accesories (make organizing your locker much easier)


a pencil sharpener


art pencils if you're taking an art class


a few erasers


a few bottles of white-out with a sponge applicator (brushes are crap)


pens in black blue and red (a few of each)


binder dividers for different topics within a subject





Normally on the first day the teachers will tell you specifically what they want you to get, so don't worry about it too much.





I believe the first day of school in Toronto is Sept. 4.


High School?

Any advice you have about anything. Im putting it in this section because I love your opinions! Just to tell you im coming from a private school...to my first time ever in public school.

High School?
oh well you're in for something lol. first off, dont trust people easily. there are going to be some pretty nasty fights. if you are yourself, thats wat makes u cool and people like you...unless ur are naturaly mean and nasty but i doubt that. PLEASE dont make the mistake that i did. i went for TRACK and it brought my grades down cause i couldnt balance out my homework and sports. unless u can balance a schedule which i cant, dont do sports unless you're gonna do that for a living lol. HIGH SCHOOL isnt scary. trust me. actually its the one of the best things that happened to me in a way. well if u have any questions, you can email me =) ......DONT DO DRUGS!!! lol

Lots have said not too overdress on the first day and not be nervous because it's not as scary as it seems.





I'd also say make sure you have everything in your locker. Be yourself. If you're shy try not to be so you can make lots of friends. That always helps at a new school!

Have a great outlook on school


Don't TRY to be cool..... you'll only become stupid!

Reply:Public Schools are much different than private, better education for one, but anyways, dont be decieved by anyone and make sure you know all the rules of the schools , you might be able to find loop holes in order to skip(not that you should!), or to just defy authority. Good Luck!
Reply:Well if you're coming from a private school, generally in public schools you will see much more diversity. Also public schools don't generally have uniforms XD. I guess you could say it's easier to "be your own person" since you have a lot of "groups" to choose from, and since you can wear whatever you want (unless there's a strict dress code being enforced)! It's a change, but you'll get used to it.
Reply:its tough. its all about hanging out with the right people. dont try and be someone your not. be friendly and approach people.

I'm going into highschool in September. And I was wondering what's it like? Oh yeah, I should add I'm going to an all girls school...is it fun? And do you ever get to meet/see guys at school?

High School?
High school is alright. You have to study hard though because your GPA in high school really determines your future. Well...that and other factors too. I have friends who goes to either an all-guy school or all-girl school. I always thought that they won't be able to meet people of the opposite gender, but they do. The schools organize dances together and stuff like that. Well at least that's how they do it in Southern California. There might be some drama in high school, but looking back (I'm a senior in high school, going to graduate in JUNE!!!) it has been fun and I'm going to miss it a lot, especially my friends. I might not see most of them for the rest of my life. So that's the sad part. So you better remember to build strong, close friendships that can last even after high school!!!
Reply:hey me to im going to josephs CA. Youll be able to see guys in dances and games. try to join as many clubs as you can. its normal to be nervous lol i know i am. Good luck to us both! :) they say its fun cause the people are really nice . hopefully :)

High School?

My son is a freshman this year, started school today. I am very concerned about him suceeding. He barely passed summer school and has attention deficit. Any suggestions? He can't get organized, motivated, and seems overwhelmed. His counslers all just keep recommending to continue passing him along, but I worry this is setting him up for failure. I guess its do or die?

High School?
I have seen again and again how organization can really put these kids at a bigger disadvantage. I would work at home on making sure your son has a system he knows and can use for organization. A folder for every subject, a place where papers go that need to go home and a place that the papers go that need to be turned in. Ask if the teachers would be willing to check or sign off that he has written down his assignments correctly at the end of each period. Now a days many teachers are putting assignments on-line on a website so parents and students can access information after school hours. The organizational issues alone can cause a child to become overwhelmed and give up. Focus on that first, but do know that you can request and evaluation from the school district (put it in writing) at any time to see if your son qualifies for any additional services (special education).
Reply:You need to give him a chance, before being too concerned. It's hard to be organized and motivated especially in highschool because youre taking classes you HAVE to college. College is alot more of what YOU want for what you want to do when youre done with it. My best suggestion (wish this was asked before the semester started) a smaller college (hopefully you chose that) and dont overload on classes the first year. Let him get used to it. If he is living in a dorm, being over bearing may actually have an opposite effect, but every now and then make sure he has everything he needs, see how he is doing. If he is livng at home it will be a lot easier to see. College may actually help because there are a few projects (but all are announced normally way ahead of time) that he will know about so you can see about any of those, and he should be old enough to know when he will need help with different types of projects, but its also not alot of sit down homework, its studying, reading over your notes, ect. A tape recorder in class may help too if he's bad at taking notes (just email your prof ahead of time because depending on the school their lectures are actually used in their thesis's and you cant use the material or record it) and it can hide in the front of your book bag. That way he can listen to the lecture over again if he doesnt take good notes or feel like reading, or he can just double check his notes after class.. Email me if you want any other suggestions.. I've been there so I know things that can help
Reply:It seems to me that your son has special needs. It is important for the school to meet his needs. If the school doesn't, he will most likely face failures, which won't be good. If he is not receiving the "right" help, you need to be his advocate. You need to help him advocate for himself. I would suggest setting up an appointment with his school psychologist. The school psychologist can find out how to help your son do better in school.


High School?

Hi guys, i liv in Ny and i want to enroll in this school called "Archbishop Molloy." I know its a great school and all but does anyone know the minimum grade in the report card to get in?

High School?
you should have gotten a NYC high school directory. if not, ask your guidance counselor for one since they have have all the schools and what you need to apply





good luck
Reply:People here can tell you anything. They might be right and then again they might be wrong.





The best way to find out what grades Molloy requires is to contact them directly. They can tell you not only what grades you need but also what classes you should take.





It shows that you are seriously interested in the school which should be impressive to them. Start a conversation with them and they will remember you when acceptance time comes up.





Best wishes on a bright future,





Mike

High school!!!! =[?

I'm so nervous.


I'm going to be a freshman..


I'm afraid I won't make a lot of friends because I'm very shy..


I have a lot of friends now, but I've known them all since pretty much elementary school. It's just hard for me to make new friends because I'm always worrying about embarrassing myself..





I know I need to stop being so shy, but it's really hard for me, i've been this way my whole life.


My school is pretty small, and everyone usually fits in there, but I'm still so scared.





Will I like it after my first day? Because for 6th grade, I was so scared to go, but once I was there I wanted to go back and I really liked it.





PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE!!

High school!!!! =[?
You'll make friends in time. There will be a lot of new people with new personalities, some shy and others not. You aren't the only one that's nervous either. Just try to be confident; there's nothing wrong with being shy if you're still confident in yourself. Also if you have self confidence, your shyness will eventually go away. It will most likely go away as you get older anyway!


I used to be very shy myself but one day I met my best friend, a very outgoing person. She talked to me over an over, and I eventually opened up. Now, I'm not too shy anymore and I know I have her to thank for that. So maybe you'll find someone that brings out the talkative and charismatic side of you. :]


I'm sure high school will be fun.
Reply:Relax...you'll be fine! It is scary at first, but just think about this - all of the other new students are feeling the same way! A friendly smile and "hello" is all you need to make new friends in high school. Just think of it like a higher version of 6th grade. And enjoy it! Your high school years will be some of the best years of your life!

Reply:i've always been kind of shy when making friends, but i'm totally crazy and loud when i'm with my friends. just make small talk and i'm sure that you will make friends the first day. what i do is be myself. when making new friends, i act like i do around the friends i have already. trust me i'm kind of ADD, loud, and crazy, but people seem to want to be my friend because i'm being who i am.
Reply:lmao i was never this neverous but here on these will be the best years of your life with your friends and possibly some one you love :..)
Reply:Ok 1st of all calm down. Dont worry at all! High school really isnt really all the big of a difference in environment as it is made out to be. You might even end up in classes with people you already know considering you say its small. I had alot of my friends in my freshman classes and i go to a school with over 4,000 kids. I personally dont like school and ended up skipping most of my sophmore year and failed due to absences : (. I think you will enjoy it though considering how worked up you get over it :P. Good luck and have a good school year!
Reply:*laughs* Chill. You'll find friends. Just be yourself. You can't be too shy or you would be a social pariah. You have friends, so your not. Join some clubs to meet new people.
Reply:Don't worry I'm shy too, where ever the teacher sits you next to, you'll be friends with.
Reply:I think the real key to surviving high school is to just be yourself and all of your soon-to-be friends will come naturally. I was shy myself in my freshman year but once I met certain people there, it was so easy for me to get along with them that it made me more confident. High school is not as scary as you think. Sure the schoolwork is harder but all of your old and new friends will definitely help you out so don't worry! High school is where you make your best memories; I know I have!
Reply:dont worry.


i used to be sooo shy.


even when i was a freshman and sophmore people would ask me why i never talked but now im so loud and people ask when will i ever shut up.


you'll be fine high school will be so fun.


just sit next to someone you know in class and someone you dont know and you'll meet new people and you wont be so shy for long.
Reply:itll be fine
Reply:everyone hates freshman;]


but theres nothing to worry about!


i miss high school:]


college is wayyy better though:]]
Reply:don't worry and you'll be fine... being shy isn't a bad thing it's just your personality and I am shy too..





Making friends in high school is easier than you think, too! Just join clubs that you feel you'll enjoy and you'll meet friends there... and it helps to go try out for teams, too... I've been on the swim team as long as I can remember and most of my friends are on the team...





Like I said earlier... you don't need to stop being shy... it's a personallity.... if we all had the same personality, where would this world be today?
Reply:don't act all cool and don't act bad because it might affect the first impressions.....


but just act natrually and don't listen to the above......


just show that you are YOU!!
Reply:Just remember that others are equally nervous as you are. Walk to school with a friend so you will have someone familiar there with you. Dont worry about embarrassing yourself, nobodys perfect. Find a club that you are interested in and make new friends. Good luck
Reply:Dont worry at all, people make the first day of high school seem like such a big deal. Its hard not to make new friends just becuase you have different grade levels in your classes and you see older people a lot. I wouldnt be nervous because everyone is matured up and no one is going to make fun of you or say mean things. Just join clubs or sports that a lot of people do its an easy way to make friends.
Reply:believe me try not to be shy, even though most people are, but your personality will shine through just be yourself. you would regret it later on during the track when you realize 'why the hell was i so shy'?


goodluck and have fun !!
Reply:Beginnings are always hard. But they may cause very good endings. Don't worry. You will get your first friend in the first day and the others soon.
Reply:no problem, im going to high school too and the only advice i have to offer is be yourself and let the rest come naturally
Reply:No need to stress bout school........
Reply:dont worry about it!! i have made it through 2 full years of high school now and on to the 3rd. high school is a time to have fun especially as a freshman. makeing friends is not as hard as u think. with a small school it is even easier. you will always have those friend you have had forever and you will make more. i go to a school with over 4,000+ students and was in your situation 3 years ago. just relax because high school is really no different then middle/junior high. after your first day you will love it
Reply:ya, when i was going to be a freshman i was really nervous too. i'm going to be a softmore. my school is pretty small, but what helped me was that my friend was going there too. also we had this before school bbq and i met 2 friends there. i was pretty shy too but if you join school clubs and other extracurricular activities, you'll find people with your interests. hope that helps
Reply:i am the same way and also going in to high school its a big change!


but i am also really shy and have a hard time making friends too


but when your there u will just have to break open your shell and say to the most ppl and maybe sooner or later u will have best friends and a bf.. u never no!


just try and follow everyone, be friendly and just take a chance of a life time


=D


good luck!


dont forget to Smile!
Reply:High school is the best years of your life, whether you believe it or not. Put yourself out there, do all that you can! This is the point in your life that you really start growing into yourself, so relish it and have as much fun as you can!
Reply:hey ,, u do not need to worry at all , this is normal belive me , even if u r extra shy , do not consider it a problem.





now comes a list of advices:


1) the first day everyone wont be knowing anyone, all of you people will be starngers to each other, so if u find someone sitting alone, go n talk with him/her like " hey , how r u ?? " n it goes on , u hav alot of things to talk about , but u should talk about somethign in common which is basically talking about courses and the university so that u two dun get bored.





2) if someone from ur school is joining the same university , y dun u both go n start knwoing more people together.





3) you should be very polite with people and do nto show that u r shy ,, if they didnt like u , fine , not everyone will like u , leave them n go knw other ppl.





4) go n visit theuniversity one day before so that u dun get completely lost in ur frts day.





gd luck ,, wish these advices help ,





cheers
Reply:im in the position ur in right now! if u want to talk abt it or anything, email me :]
Reply:just know that about every other freshman is just as scared as you are right now, but you have to go and once the first day is over it gets much easier and you dont feel so stupid, just dont try to be someone that everyone else will like, be someone that you like because you will be much happier in the end that way, you are not alone and just go with the flow you will be fine

High School?

Ok everyone is worried about their first day of school outfits, do you even notice what other people are wearing? I think i'm going to be like trying to find my classes and worried about myself so i doubt im going to notice everyone elses clothes. did you remember what people wore on the first day of school?

High School?
well, its not about if u remember what the other ppl wore, its about puttijng on really nice clothe for the first day cuz, first impressions are evertying :D


remember everyone is looking at u for the first time, even though they might not remember waht u wore later on lol


Good LUCK!





btw; what grade ar u going in?
Reply:i can't think of one person's outfit on the first day of school, not even mine!
Reply:no, i can't remember what other people wore, but i do know what i wore. and i definitely noticed at the time what others were wearing. like i kinda judged and thought in my head all day long things like, "ohh she's cute. i like her shoes" and stuff like that. you can tell a lot about people by their style. i'm really into fashion though so i doubt many people do this.
Reply:Haha, No I don't actually. I'm a Sophmore now. What I recomend is you get a school map of if you have one. At regritration they should of had it on the back of like the school agenda of like rules and stuff. I remember I got lost for my 7th period I took like 20 mins. I was so on the other side of the campus. I felt like an idiot. But they understand. I'm not worrying about what I'm wearing. Of course I don't know where my classes are I know how to make things easier. People serious are planning to much on clothes and stuff. Those are the people who are going to do bad there first year of freshman.
Reply:I do take note of certain things. If I like someone's top, I'll try to remember and find something like it, but not exactly it. Same goes for jewelrey, pants, shoes, etc.





You probably go to a bigger school than I do so there's twice as many people.
Reply:i remember the chick with the big rack. and i tell myself "man i gotta sit closer to that one!!!!" im JK





but seriously nobody cares





but seriously i do remember those cute chicks nomater what they are wearing. FOR I HAVE XRAY VISIONNNN!!!!!


or something like that..... O.o
Reply:Honestly, at my school. Nobody cares what you wear. If you're wearing something different, then most people are like "wow, that looks cool, where'd you get it?" If people are immature enough to criticize your outfit, then they need some directions to reality =] cause nobody really cares. hope i helped. =]
Reply:No, but not on the first day but,you know people are just worried because the want to look good so people will like them and maybe date them...
Reply:my friends and I usually talked the night before and would plan what we would wear. However, i really didnt care what the other kids were wearing... It was between me and my friends. I had no desire to dress as weird as the rest of them. But you have to understand this was back in 1972 you know in the stone age. LOL
Reply:Yeah, I took notice. Everybody was dressed so different from what I was use to as I had been to a uniformed school. After the first few days nobody could care less about what you wear.
Reply:i guess people do this because the want to impress everybody on the first day of school. I'm going into high school this year too, and my priority is to have a way cute outfit for the first day. yea i am going to be worried about my classes but you also don't want to look bad? right. i don't remember what others wear the first day of school but its kind of your first impression your making .
Reply:hmm... interesting.





i guess not really.


but they just wanna make a good impression on the teachers
Reply:No one gives a flying rats a$$ about what people wear. Do you remember what you ate for dinner last week? Does it really matter? It is the same as middle school and every other year of your life.


High School?

Ok, Im 16 and I'm in summer school, and during summer school there is no bus, and since I cant get my license until october, I use to get rides from a friend. Until recently, the friend would give me and a couple of people rides, but recently and today, he tried to make up a lie about why he cant give rides, so I just walked away. Is this friend fake ? Even if he doesnt want to give rides shouldnt he just tell us and not make up a fake excuse ?

High School?
Yes. You could tell him you understand there are lots of reasons he might not want to be a free taxi service, and you like him well enough to want him to be honest with you.

High School?

Ok, today someone in our school made a shooting threat for tommorow, and everyone is scared. The news media was ALL around my school and they are going to be there tommorow too, the school faculty is going to have police everywhere, and when I told my parent that I didnt want to go, she said I have to. Is this fair ?

High School?
no thats not fair, that bogus.
Reply:Hi. I think that if a threat was made in my town, I would not want my child to attend. Your parents may think it's best for you to go, so that you keep your everyday routine going so you don't think about what could happen or might happen. I would go to school and if you feel uncomfortable or scared then call your parents and tell them how you feel. At least your making an effort to go to school instead of just sitting at home. I know you must be frightened with what might happen at your school tomorrow, but it's probably just some kid looking to get a rise out of your town, because he/she has seen so much on TV. Don't worry; give school a chance, and if you still are scared call your parents.
Reply:Ha ha, my high school had a bomb threat once- police and firefighters were all over the scene. But of course, it had to be during our homecoming football game, so they didn't cancel classes.





There's no such thing as fair in this world. TT___TT
Reply:If there was a legitimate threat the administration would be all over it and school would probably be canceled.

You'll be safer at school than not, because there will most likely be more police than staff there amd I'm sure they may even search people.
Reply:Life is never fair...that is rule #1.


If what you say is true than ask your parents to call the school principal to confirm and let them decide.


Your parents have to live with the decision if something happens to you.


Good luck.


High School??

okay i was wondering if anyone went to are going to a hight school that is all about money? i was wondering if there are any other hight schools like mine. that every is about money, like football is important, but its what kind of handbag what car you drive. becouse alot of my class mates are drving BMW, Mercedes Biez, Lexus, Land Rover. and where is you school at??

High School??
My school is like that, but the problem is, they actually DON'T have the money to spend. My school just fixed the football field and track, but our text books are ripping and haven't been replaced in years. They also just added a second auditorium, and we never use it!





The people in my school act like this too. I think most people in America act like that... and that is why I really dislike society (very selfish and rude).
Reply:I went to a high school like that. I grew up in a big city and then went to a private catholic all girls high school. And it was all about money...and it doesn't stop I graduated 5 years ago and they still call and send me stuff in the mail asking for money. I hated it but what can you do...I got a good education.


High school?

i cant decide between two schools. one is a magnet and the other is an easy school. i want to go to the easy school so i can get A's easily but there are alot of bad people there and i wouldnt fit in at all. the magnet i would have to work alot harder but most of my friends are going to there. the big thing about friends is thta my BEST friend is going to the easy school no matter what ... if i decide to go to the magnet how do i tell her. this decsition could be a big choise in my life. what should i do? thank you for spending time and helping:)

High school?
Go to the magnet school. Even if your best friend is going to the easy school, there is a really good chance that you won't see him/her that much because you two will have different classes.


The magnet school would better prepare you for the future, especially college. Choose wisely, the high school years are VERY important for your future.
Reply:Go to the magnet school. It really sounds like a better deal all around from the situation you have described. Plus, it will look better on a college application if you plan on attending college.
Reply:I would definitely go to the magnet school. It will be hard leaving your friend, but if she/he is your best friend, then they should understand. Your schooling will affect your future, and what kind of job you obtain, so focus on your grades now. It will also help you get more scholarships.

High school?

I'am in desperate need of help I'am 17 years old living in Canada and very behind in school. Is there anyway possible way I can obtain my credits faster? If I attend regular school it will take my so long to get my diploma and I don't want that. Are there any alternatives? for eg. home school, schools where I can go part time because I have to work. Due to personal issuses in my home it has really messed me up academically and I really don't wanna be in classes with little immature gr. 11 kids. If anyone has any alternatives to help me gain my diploma within Ontario Canada it would be greatly appreciated thanks! I'am young and don't even wanna think of droping out as an option.

High school?
Canada doesn't have the GED? Most kids here in the U.S. just take the test to get out of high school. If that's not an option, can you take the equivalency tests for each class to pass it? You'd still have to study for the tests, but it would be faster (and on your own schedule).
Reply:well try online schools if u dont wana join them.


u know making friends really helps.and donnt worry if a day or 2 turn out to be bad just wait for the silver linning.


i had to wait for it for a whole week.
Reply:ur from canada cool im me i think it be cool to talk to someone from canada
Reply:Is there any alternative schools around you where you can go and get your credits that you need for that year and the credits that you need to catch up on. I live in texas and go to High School and some kids who are behind and stuff get to go to this place called Watson Learning Center and they catch up on there credits without doing as much work as one would do in High School. I really don't know what is in Canada but I hope your situation clears up. Hope this helped some.


High school?

uhm i'm currently in 8th grade and i'm gonna be in 9th grade very very soon. i just have a question bout it...how different is it ? i know theres gonna be way more people than the school i'm currently in. but like....going class to class meeting a whole lotta people. its gonna be soo new to me lol. cause i go to a small co-ed private school [pre-k thru 8th] and its a one hallway school...our school is soo bootlegged ...in a sense. but in other words..its not like any other.





but back to the topic. are the boys more mature ? and i'm sure theres gonna be more peer pressure.


so any advice for my first day ?





please and thank youh :)

High school?
There will be some mature guys but in 9th Grade not many. 10 and up will have more mature guys. On your first day, don't look like the scared little freshmen. Be confident and walk around like you own the place.
Reply:well im a fresh going to soph next year and it is not all that different other than a lot harder to make friends and there well be peer presher a **** load more or just don't go to party's





or the classic





use a condom!!!!!!!1








email me for more help





dont take advise from teachers
Reply:I'm sure it will be really different. Are any of your friends from your current school going to the same high school as you? If so, maybe you'll have a class together or be able to eat lunch at the same time.





My best advice is to just hang back and kind of check things out for a while first. Then you can see what kind of people each person is (nice, fake, etc.) and you can choose your friends wisely.





I do think there's a lot more peer pressure in high school so you have to be strong and be true to yourself. As far as the boys, sorry, but I don't think they mature until they're about 30! lol I know - ancient! rofl. They do get bolder and more aggressive, so be careful to stay out of potentially dangerous situations. You sound like a sweet young lady. Try to stay that way as long as you can.





Good Luck, hon.
