Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
this is how it is at my school (i am also going to be a freshman and just got back from band camp with the high school band of 200+ people and i made a lot of upperclassmen friends so this might help). you will get picked on. seniors do use seniority. they do cut in line. there's nothing you can do about it except let them. don't argue with them, but if they start harrassing you then tell a teacher. the work depends on the classes you're taking, but it shouldn't be that much harder if you don't have much trouble with school. you have to act confident. don't wait for people to approach you when you make new friends. just go up to them and tell them your name. i met so many people this past four days by doing that. stay away from older guys that you don't know yet. somebody told me that freshmen should not get involved with older guys unless they know them well. i mean, it's okay to be friends with them, but don't go out with one until you've known him for quite a while and know his intentions. to make a good first impression, be confident. don't look lost or scared or confused. if you screw up or can't find your classroom or something, then just laugh at yourself and ask somebody what's going on. if you can handle laughing at yourself and being the lowest on the totem pole, then you'll do okay. i certainly made a lot of new friends this week that way!

For most, the work isn't terrible but it might be a lot depending on your gradeschool.
Just talk to people... the shy girls don't make many friends. get people's screenames and chat it up.
just be friendly, try to smile, stuff like that.
just have fun & choose friends wisely. don't expect the people you meet on the first day/week to be your close friends all year...some people do that but most don't. <3

Hello!
Oh my word, my freshman year was SO MUCH FUN. Minus a lot of the drama, it was great.
Okay, well the first day is the first impression day, you want to make first impressions that are good on everyone you come in contact with. Because the first day you cant really see who the "clicks" are, or who you should avoid. But if you are good with everyone, you should have no problem. The work is hard, you definitly get a lot more homework then in middle school, and ALWAYS do it, and get it in on time, and if you have missing assignments or projeccts your teeachers wont remind you, so keep a planner of everything you need to do and get it done on time, or it will really affect you in the end.
Oh And to make good impressions, smile be friendly! Be genuine, ask people how they are doing, if they had a good summer, make eye concatct, and when you shake, make sure its a firm hand shake!
The upperclassman, well most of them are nice, some are cocky and think they are alll that, but they know how you feel, they were once in your spot you know? But anyways freshman year goes SO FAST, seriously. And after that the years just go even faster, and you'll be out of highschool in no time, so make the best of your years:]
Enjoy them, and study for exams, dont cram.

The first thing is just be yourself. Honestly really be yourself! It doesn't matter if you don't wear Abercrombie or Hollister, there is going to be someone in the school that is willing to expect you. And if you have 1 real true friend it's better then 100 fake ones.
The work isn't to hard, but it may come to a Challenge since I don't know what classes you have taken. But if you put your mind to it, study and do all your homework you should do well.
The first week I will pretty much grantee you wouldn't do anything expect go over what the class will be like for the year, and what supplies you'll need for the classes.
Oh yes, and the upperclassman may not be to nice to you. It's just a thing because everyone is going to think that the freshman are in mature.
But another thing is, try to stay away from the parties! I didn't and I failed 5 classes,passed 3 and then went to summer school for 2 of them. All because I didn't care because I was at a party! So please try not to get stuck in the party scene. If you don't it'll pay off later.
