i've been extreamly scared about starting highschool. there is this guy that i work with as a camp counselor named jerry and he's going to be a senior next year. i asked him what it was like when he was a freshman and he started telling me the worst storries about how the seniors would like beat up the freshman if they got in their way and how the senior girls would beat up the freshman girls in the bathroom if they were smoking and you started caughing because of the smoke. now i'm about 5484341654687987631068405498765013515679876164168498316549879865132168798456 times more scared about starting!!!!! and jerry is a nice guy and everything and i even asked my best friend john about it (he's a junior) and he told me basically the same thing!! do you think it might be better this year?? what can i do do calm myself down!? i'm also really scared about missing classes because my highschool is HUGE!

I know: WHY WOULD THEY LIE? THAT'S STUPID! But some people are like that! They 2 see other kids squirm 4 some reason... Don't worry! Live your life without fear!

You would *THINK* high school would be like that, but believe it oR not.. high school kids aRe veRy accepting of diffeRences!! It's Really no big deal!! Give it a week oR so, and you'll know the way to youR classes NO pRoblem!! The haRdest paRt would be GETTING TO THEM in time!! Most high schools give you a five minute passing peRiod, sometimes less, sometimes moRe.. it vaRies fRom school to school.. but even then.. five minutes is neveR enough time.. so you gotta Run youR butt!! Make the most out of youR high school yeaRs... you'll find that they come and go VERY quickly!! Goodluck; hope I helped!! [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]

Most of them understand that the freshman are new to the school and need time to figure things out and usually most of them will help you out. So dont stress it. hope I helped
