15 year old female.
I`m sure you all get alot of questions like this and I`m sorry but I need help =)
This is going to be my first year of highschool, freshmen. I`m scared out of my mind. One of my best friends whom I`v gone to school with for 9 years is going to a different school. Will I lose her friendship ? My sister just graduated from taht school and she was known as a slut, and to cheat on her boyfriends.. am I going to have that same stuff said about me because I`m her sister ? I`m so scared I`m going to get lost, 3 floors and I can`t make it to the school tour (I`ll be in New York City on vacation). How easy is it to get lost ? I`m in a super high science class, and I`m not worried about doing bad in the class, I`m worried about how there will be alot of higher classmen in the class. Should I be worried about higher classmates ?Basicly, anything you can tell me about highschool will help me,.. postive and negative information would help me.
♥ the scared freshmen.

So just dont worry about any of it beacuse you dont have to.
hope i helped;)

xthis1sakilluhx3 answered Friday August 4 2006, 4:53 pm: to answer your first question;;if your truly great friends you wont lose her friendship.. me and my three best friends all went to middle school together.. and two of them went to private schools.. we stayed together and we're still all best friends, regardless of what school we go to.
i doubt that people will judge you according to your sisters reputation. it may have been different if she went to the same school as you.. because people would probably compare you to her.. but since she's graduated you probably won't hear anything about her. & if you do.. prove everyone wrong.
my school is only 2 floors and i still don't know my way around.. maybe thats because i'm a complete ditz.. but still.. three floors may take some time to get used to.
that was just to answer your questions.. and i wanna add a few things about highschool. its a major change.. im sure you already know that but seriously.. you are going to change and witness people around you change.. drastically.. some for the better.. and unfortunatly.. others for the worst. relationships get more serious. don't mingle with upper classmen boys.. they just wanna screw as many freshman girls as they can because... their considered easy. thats really all i can think of.

BLONDShorty answered Friday August 4 2006, 4:23 pm: well, i'll give you the bad news about high school first. in high school, it is less likely that someone is going to come up to you and just let you into their group and tell you to come join them. i mean, unless it's a guy that's into you or something. but, i mean like groups, you know? you have to walk up to them and make friends with them. that's the positive side lol. that you an do something about it. it's not really that bad. all i'm saying is that you have to talk to people and stuff
about your sister- people might just think. oh that's her sister. but, i don't think that they will judge you to the point that they will think you are her. if you are not like her, you're personality will shine through and people will accept you and love you for who you are
getting lost- don't worry. i felt the same way. but, you find your way. you get use to it and eventually you find everything okay. don't worry about that because the teachers will probably not be super strict about being a little late to class the first couple of weeks because they understand that you are getting use to the place and the rooms
science class- i think that is awsome and don't worry about the people in your class. i think that it is a good thing to becone friends with the upper classmen because because they are good to have there. they will protect you and stuff. but, don't get me wrong. the upperclassmen aren't bullies or anything, but if you are scared of getting bullied or somethingm, that will make you feel better
FireFairy141 answered Friday August 4 2006, 4:20 pm: Well, let me first congratulate you on entering high-school.
All the storys about high school, are totally not true. People arn't going to make fun of you, because of your sister's rep, heck, they probably wont even notice you. (not to be mean) But because you will be a ninth grader, there just mostly gonna ignore you.
My school has 3 floor's also, and yes, you will most likely get lost the first and second day, but after that, you pretty much get the hang of it. Teachers are also really nice about you being late the first couple of days, because they know how hard it is to find your way around a new school.
Wow, its awesome that your in a high science class, ^^ you should be really proud. There might be upperclassmen in the class, but your all there to learn the same thing, and people in highschool, as i said before, just dont really care about anything, lol.
Heres some advice, dont linger in the hallways, talking to your friends, try to stay off to the sides if you going to do that. And dont try to get people to know your name, not at least until you reach 10th grade. Its better to stay low on the radar.
I really hope that your next 4 years at highschool will be a blast! I know mine so far have! ^_~ and i'm in 11th now!
