I'm going to be a freshmen in High School this upcoming school year. I'm going to be taking all IB Preperation classes and I don't know any of my friends who are gonna be in my classes.
Also I'm afraid that the sophmores [sp?], juniors, and/or seniors, picking on me =/
Could you give me any tips on how to get through that year?
As for people picking on you, it may and may not happen. Just don't pay too much mind to it. They have no reason to feel superior to you, they were in your situation not long ago.
High school is a blast. Be friendly, nice, work hard. You'll get through it. =]

And when I was a freshman it was no big deal. People aren't going to be like you're expecting. High school's a great experience! :]
