advice

I am starting high school and i am really nervous! Does anyone have any tips or things they want to share? It can be about friends, boys, hair, clothes, grades, teachers, anything! I need lots of advice because I am very worried! Thanks!

High school is nothing to worry about. Really.

Friends. Just talk to people around you. Make small talk. Join a club or a sport. Its really not that hard. Oh, and don't try to be best friends with all the upperclassmen. They'll probably hate you just for being an annoying freshman. Keep your distance. And, don't go walking around like you know everyone and you're so popular. Everyone will hate you.

Hair. Do whatever you feel like, I guess. The hair issue is really not too different from middle school.

Clothes. Wear whatever you want. DON'T dress like a slut. Don't wear really short skirts/shorts and everything. That'll attract the wrong crowd and make everyone else hate you. Wear whatever you're comfortable with/

Grades. I honestly thought freshmen year was pretty easy. Do your homework. That can really boost your grade. Study for exams in advance. Don't wait until the last minute to cram it all in it. I did that, and I didn't do horribly, but I could've done so much better. Don't forget to study for normal tests, do all the work, and extra credit if its offered. Again, not too different from middle school.

Teachers. They may be a bit tougher than middle school. It really depends on who you have. Whatever you do, don't get on their bad side. Don't be a smartass and piss the teacher off. They more than likely will hate you for that, and your grade probably will suffer. Most teachers like it when you participate in class and show you're working really hard. That can count for a lot when its time to put the grades in and you're .2% away from an A. They just may boost it up the next grade higher. But, don't be a suck up.

The people are a lot different than middle school. Hopefully, they're much more mature and there's less drama. But, the rules for homework and teachers still apply. Nothing has really changed in that department.
Don't go in there freaking out. RELAX! Pretend like you know what you're doing, even if you don't. Honestly, there's absolutely nothing to worry about. Good luck!
