Hey- I just finished my freshman year. Its, like all people have already said, not as bad as it may appear.
Friendships will be strained. I know- it may sound horrible, but next year, you'll find out who your real friends are. Since you're taking honors classes, I'm assuming you're pretty darn smart. I am the same way. People who you thought were friends last year will start to ask you for answers... more and more. Just know that these people aren't your friends. They are using you. I learned that the hard way.
Just keep your friends as close as you can, and you just have to accept that some will be lost. You will make more friends, really. Some will be freshmen, some will be upperclassmen. Yes, that's right. You will probably make upperclassmen friends, but let them come to you more than you go to them, if that makes sense.
I made upperclassmen friends just by sitting next to them in classes, and now they are some of my better friends.
Honors classes are, obviously, more advanced and a little tougher. I had half of my classes that were advanced [the most I could have]. I had a little bit more work than I expected, and it was harder to keep up my GPA. If you keep your mind set on your assignments and projects, you will be more than fine. If you need help- your teachers will help you. They won't come to you, so you need to come to them. You'll have higher expectations, so you need to work hard and keep those expectations intact.
Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores most likely don't care about you, or "freshy" friends. Some are actually really nice, and will help you out if you ask.
Mostly, just go with the flow and let things happen. If an upperclassman does something to you, don't let it get to you.
Good luck, Freshy!

I just finished my freshman year in high school and it's really not as bad as some people portray it.
Yes, some of your relationships will be strained, especially if you don't have many classes with your old friends. But that just opens up the chances of making new friends!
As for honors, I think it would sort of depend on the school district your in. In some districts, the honors classes are arranged as the regular classes, only more projects and tests. In other places, they have a totally different curriculum for honors.
There's just a few things you should know about being a freshman:
1] Upperclassmen have no sympathy for freshman. At all. Theres maybe a few decent upperclassmen in some schools.
2] Don't talk back to upperclassmen. Just don't.
3] Teacher's won't walk you through everything anymore. If you have a missing homework assignment, they won't keep reminding you until you turn it in. If you don't turn it in on time, you will get a zero on the assignment.
Just don't panic.
Your freshman year will fly by. :]

Hey,
I'm a freshy this year, and don't worry-eveyrthing wil be fine.
Stay with your old friends by hanging out with them oftenly. Do sports, etc, with them. If they're true, they'll stick with you. If not, you don't want them anyways.
The best way to meet new freinds is joining as many sports & clubs as you can. Join sports/clubs that offer things that you like, that way, you're paired with people that have at least one same interest as you.
& Taking honors classes-well, in my school, was moderately easy. Sure, they push you harder and give you more work, but you can do anything if you put your mind to it. :)
In my HighSchool, we got a lot more oppurtuinities and freedoms than Middle School. I love it :)
Freshman year should be easy with the exception of the first two days- it was somewhat difficult, but you learn to deal.
Best of luck!!!! If you ever need help with anything, leave me something in my Inbox & I'll be happy to helppp. :]

Aww high school is awesome. Don't be nervous, you'll love it.
When I was a at freshman orientation, one of the first things the principal told us was that the people sitting next to us now most likely won't be sitting next to us senior year. In other words, people change and relationships sometimes take turns for the better or worse. Change is an important part of high school.
As for honors classes, take what you can handle. If you are a good student and excel in all subjects, take all honors classes. If you take all honors but think you can't handle the pressure, then drop. Advanced isn't so bad. I'm personally in honors english, hsitory, spanish, and advanced math and science. Everyone is different, though.
Good luck next year. =P
