High School

I'm preparing to go into high school tomorrow (Aug 29). I'm terrified to go, and I'm worried about making friends since all of my other friends are attending another high school since they changed all of the high school boundaries this last year. I'm planning on being on the swim team, and joining a club or two. I'm really nervous and have cried myself to sleep a few nights being so worried about it. I'm really nervous as to what kids will think about me since I have chronic pain and many kids think that I'm faking pain so they are very mean to me. i'm going to be a sophomore (this is the first year in high school where I live becuse your freshman year is done in jr. high) Any suggestions for making this transition better?

It's ok to be nervous. It's actually normal. Everyone gets a little nervous on their first day of anything. I remember the first day of college and let me tell you, I was a nervous wreck. I had to go to a totally different school where I have to walk to different campuses and buildings. On top of all that I was living in the dorm. Living with total strangers. I got home sick and thought I was making a mistake. But do you know what. You get over it. You shouldn't care about what other think of you. Start out fresh. Your in a new school. Take advantage of that situation. You are in a school where nobody knows you. So why not just start all over. That's the best thing about going to a new school. You get to be the better person that you want people to know. I think it is great that you want to get involved in your school. It's a great way of getting to know other people. Again that's what I did in college. I joined a club and I was kind of nervous. I was thinking maybe I shouldn't do it or people won't like me. But at the end of the year I walked away with a bunch new friends and a bf (ok I didn't get that. I was trying to make you feel better..lol.) Well, I hope I helped just a little. It's ok to feel nervous. Just take a deep breath and just go with it.

Have you ever cheated in High School? I kinda might have. Retelling 'one' of the lengths I went to just to get good grades (or pass for ...

I am planning to go to a really good high school, but my parents and I agree that it has to be private. I'm thinking about Bishop Alemany or Notre Dame. But I'm also worried about that the high school I pick might be the wrong one, and if will i fit in there. I read some of the schools reviews, graduation requirements, and stuff like that, and to me it seems so complicated. What do you think? Especially you high school students? I need ideas, suggestions and advice!!!1

you can do anything. fitting in a new crowd will come in naturally. when i entered high school, i was with people i've never seen before. i was with people whose personalities are way beyond what i was used to. but it turned out quite okay... actually, it turned out to be great! and i'm about to do the same thing in about 2 months. its scary, and sad.
sad-because i'm going to leave my friends and scared because i'm going to enter in a new world. but everything's going to be fine...

and about the requirements and stuff, don't worry too much. you will have enough time to do all of hose. the school will give you enough time. besides, how will the schools convince students to study there if they are too strict, and hard to enroll, and all...

i hope i helped you...

i will be going into high school next year. i need some advise. i dont want to be made fun of as a freahman and what can i do to prevent that. i need helpful tips for high school and dating/chrushes in high school. that kind of stuff so please help me

I teach seniors.... but I've taught every grade from 9 to 12.... and these are the biggies I think every girl should know...
First, some advice every freshman needs to hear....
1. DO NOT WRITE LETTERS!! DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING YOU WOULDN'T MIND SEEING PRINTED IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER THAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER READS AT HER CHURCH!!! Unfortunately your friends may not be as discreet with your private buisness as you'd like and teachers and other students can end up reading your deep, dark secrets.
2. Be friends with everyone. Don't try to have a clique like the movie Mean Girls or the Gossip Girls books. You may not like everyone, but be nice to everyone. It pays in the long run. Your best friend in 9th grade will most likely not be your best friend when you are a senior, so don't burn bridges.
3. Don't go boy crazy, even if you are the prettiest girl in your class. I know a lot of kids say they don't care about their reputations, but one day you will. You only get a few chances to make mistakes with your reputation. You don't want to be the girl every guy wants to "date," but that no one will take to prom.
4. Don't date just one guy all through high school. Spend time with your friends, too, not just with a boy. And don't let a boy choose your friends for you.... be your own person and like yourself. Don't think you are married in high school!!
5. Realize now that you will probably suffer a broken heart at least once, and begin telling yourself now you will get over it and he isn't the only boy in the world who could possibly ever make you happy.
6. Have fun, socalize, but remember you go to school to get an education. Start studying hard in 9th grade.....your grades count in high school and your class rank is determined beginning in grade 9. You want to be in the top ten percent if you can possibly do it. Most kids won't start caring about grades until junior year, so if you start in the 9th grade you will be ahead of most others!!
7. Don't be loud to try to get attention. Some girls talk loud and act silly to get attention - but that is not the kind of attention you want. People will laugh at you.....
8. Don't chase boys. Yes, it is 2006, but let boys pursue you....show interest, but let him call you.....
9. GET INVOLVED!! Join clubs or try out for sports teams or drama or the school paper or yearbook, etc....... this is critical!! Disappointments you face will be easier to bear if you have interests and activities to keep you busy. You will meet people and you will enjoy school more if you are involved - you will feel ownership and pride .... I promise!!
Good Luck..... The next four years will be the best four years of your life if you have the right attitude and are a nice person.....:)

I'm gonna start high-school in few weeks time and none of my friends are going there.
I think im gonna be lonley and i wont have any friends

could you please type down some useful friendship advice or anything
noo....I didn't skip a couple of grades!
I'm gonna be 11 in July and I'm going to year 7 in september
and thats what I'm worried about!

Any more tips?

GET INVOLVED!

That's the best advice I could give. Last year I was a freshman in High School, and I really regret that I didn't get involved right away. Tryout for sports teams, join clubs, or try out a new activity. Last year I was on my school's track and field team and I had such a blast, I wish that I had tried other activities. This year I was involved in two sports, three clubs, and my school's leadership team. All of these were great activities and I met so many new people.

Another tip, be friendly and put yourself out there. Say 'hi' to the people in your classes and introduce yourself. Chances are you will quickly meet people who you can hang out with. During your lunch period go up to a friendly looking group and introduce yourself. If you happen to meet someone nice, ask them to show you around and introduce people.

You can't be shy or afraid of what people think. Just put yourself out there and be sure to be involved!
Good Luck and Have FUUNNNN!!!!

i'm going to high school this fall and i'm kinda worried about what it will be like. what are some ways to get good grades? and what about fitting in and all that stuff? tell me about your high school experience if you want. thanks!

high school is awesome... lots of girls... oohh and just do all your homework and classwork and you will be fine... dont ditch that much either.... dont worry about fitting in theres plenty of people in high school, all kinds of people so you'll be fine... DONT BE ANTI-SOCIAL because that will not help in making friends.. be outgoing..be yourself...
