BLONDShorty answered Thursday August 17 2006, 10:19 am: well, i'm going to give you my honest opinion. high school is not going to be fun unless you make it fun! you have to make of it what you can. trust me. i know because i didn't have fun, but i'm making it worth my while this year. just have fun! make it fun for you!
pootietang answered Thursday August 17 2006, 1:17 am: Remember the feeling you got when you were scared of moving from elementary to middle school, only to find out that it isn't hard at all? The transition from middle to high school is exactly the same. There's not as much homework, but there's more studying and note-taking. But it's super fun. I'm sad because I'm already halfway done. I remember freshman year like it was yesterday, or even 5 minutes ago.

In the movies they make high scool seem really bad but it's just for entertainment and it's not really like that. There are cliques and a lot of hall ways lol. Teachers and people will show you where your classes are and you'll catch on pretty quickly. I was also very worried about not having anyone in my class.. like my friends and I was wrong. I know a lot of people in my classes and you will make a lot of new friends. So yeah, high school isn't as bad as people make it seem. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

i mean, people are mature so obviously they won't do anything bad.
there's some idiots in there that like to scare the freshmen but if you stay with your group of friends, then it's okay.
be happy. have fun. talk to people. and it goes by *so fast* so make the most of it.

As far as the classes go, you might want to go to school a little early on the first day and see where your classes are, if your school allows you to do that.
The classes aren't much harder than in middle school, unless you're in honors classes. Those are a bit tougher than standard classes, but it's good to take them.
STUDY. Don't slack off. Even in middle school, you should stay on top of things. But in high school, you definitely have to. Listen to your teachers, too.
The people aren't that bad, either. Just be nice to everyone, and you should be fine. There are more people in high school than in middle school, so some of them will be mean, but just do your own thing and don't let their words get to you. If someone is being mean, it shows that they're insecure.
Stay open to other people. Stay with old friends, but make some new ones, too.
You say you're going to high school in a year, so you just started 8th grade, am I right?
Don't worry about high school now. Enjoy your last year of middle school. 8th grade was a great year, at least for me.
After the first week, everything will fall right into place, I promise.
aquababe1 answered Wednesday August 16 2006, 8:41 pm: its fine. dont worry. i was worried too but its really not a big deal. people will say rude things once in a while if you mess up (older students) but its fine. and movies usually arent like real life anyway so try not to look up to those for advice.

lilteacup answered Wednesday August 16 2006, 8:28 pm: High school is not bad. Sure, it's a little more stressful at times, but it's doable. It's actually pretty fun. You get more liberties and there are more fun things to do in school. I loved high school, it was great!
