Highschool isnt that bad, may seem like it but its not. There is alot more freedom. Teachers arnt always breathing down your back.

The upper class men won't bug you, no offense, but they will have better things to do them pick on freshmen. Youll be refured to as freshy, freshmeat, and news. Nothing wrong with that. Only problem I had was on the first day.. finding all my classes. I gave up and asked a teacher for help. Don't feel bad if you have to ask someone where to go. Be yourself and don't worry about having the same friends as you did in middle school. Make new friends, weather they are upper class or you class. Seniors will say stuff, (maybe not saying they will) and try to get with you. Saying is freshmen are easy, which they arnt.

I took algebra 2 too. Its not different, they are there to learn. Just be yourself. Ask questions and focus on your work. First couple days or even weeks, you might not get alot of talking too, but after a while people will start to talk to you more and more.

Don't worry about whats cool or not for freshmen to do. Be yourself. Have fun. People say highschool sucks and its the worst four years, but others say its the best. Its what you make of it. Have friends hang out and pass your classes. Don't worry about being cool, because the harder you try to cool the more uncool youll look.

Have fun in highschool, make the most of it. Don't worry about being cool, and make new friends. You'll live.. it's not so bad :) [ disasterxwoah's advice column | Ask disasterxwoah A Question ]
