high school
i go to a private school and its really small. i'm in 8th grade and next year i'll be going to a public school for the first time. i know i'm ready. i'm smart so that won't be hard. and all my best friends are going there, and i know lots of people that go there. and i'm planning on playing tennis. but do you think there is anything that i should watch out for/look forward to or anything else i should know?

Beware the rumors. People like to start rumors about new kids. At least they do in my school. Just make sure you go into the new school with an awesome attitude, and be ready to make freinds!! I hope you have an awsome time at school!!
Hope I helped!

That it'll be big! I did the same thing and the amount of people i was suddenly thrown into was overwhelming so try to remember that it's going to be quite different.
Generally I found that you have to take more responsibility for learning- your teahers won't be as ready to make sure you're pulling your weight- if you're naturally an A student but can coast at a B, they won't pull you up on it like they might at private school.
Also, (nice big stereotype coming up), the people are likely to be quite different to what you're used to. You and they will get away with more as a general rule and some of the kids you meet will be a lot more...worldly. You may well start off feeling like a bit of a clueless dork, but don't worry, it'll pass!
Basically just don't be too hard on yourself if you find it hard to adjust at first, because it may be a big change and you WILL get used to it.
Best of Luck

Well, it sounds like you have the social aspects well covered.
One thing to remember about high school though is that you will be getting a lot more work than before. Just remember to manage your time well and keep healthy and happy.
And of course, ENJOY YOURSELF. That's the main thing. Learning should be fun.
Hope all goes well ^_^
