woww. you sound exactly like i did before my freshman year! trust me dont sweat it. i know im only a sophomore, but im still experienced. no one tortures you, you just hear: wow stupid freshman or hey freshie. but mostly in a joking matter. you make new friends that are in your classes, thats what i did. i also met a lot of people from my already close friends, just be yourself and dont try and be all cool and act older. trust me. your high school years will be the best years of your life. just watch out on the last day of school, because everyone gets shaving creamed and tortured on the last day, not only freshman. hope i helped :]

It isn't bad really, it depends on your school and the maturity of the people there. The most people will do is say "stupid freshmen..they don't know anything" just make jokes about your intelligence. Freshman Fridays really don't exist anymore so don't worry.
To become friends with other you just have to be yourself, don't pretend to be something you're not and don't be obnoxious [upperclassmen hate that] I myself had a lot more Junior friends than Freshman friends..but it just depends on your personality I suppose.

freshman year is deffinatly not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. most of the upperclassmen are actually very friendly and nice. just dont walk around thinking your god and judging by the way your worried about it im going to say that you wouldnt. but to make new friends is really easy i dont know if you play sports or anything, but we had captains practices for soccer and there were a lot of girls from a private school coming to join the public school and i asked a few of them what classes they were taking and it turns out one of them was in my class so i already had a friend in that class. but what you really should do is not just stick in your own click branch out a bit, meet new people. and as for becoming friends with upperclassmen, you can also do that through sports. but if you dont do sports, talk to people at surrounding lockers that you see everyday or in your classes. dont be afraid, they wont judge you. good luck with your first year in high schoool :D and if it helps, im going to be a sophmore, and freshman year was one of the best years of my life.

I was a freshman 2 years ago, so that makes me a junior, and I had a good freshman year, in my opinion anyways.
Anyways, every school is different, and every school has different people with different opinions. At my school, the upperclassman are kind of brutal to freshman. Freshman Friday actually exists where I go, and a few years back they actually hit a kid while he was getting a drink & he nearly cracked his head open. From then on they cancelled it, but of course kids rebel & don't listen to the rules. I remember my Freshman Friday. The upperclassmen girls were putting NAIR in the girls hair if they had it down, so I had to wear my hair up, and I had REALLY long hair [to my butt] so I was pissed. Other times they threw water balloons & followed us home.
Freshman Friday doesn't exist in some schools, so you may be safe, but I wouldn't worry about it. If it does, they'll play some pranks so try & stay out of their way. They don't really torture you though. Once that's over, they go back to completely ignoring you & hating you. The only reason why they would torture you is if you mess with them or run your mouth. Just mind your business, keep to yourself & don't be an ass & you'll be fine.
It's easy to make friends, just be yourself. Talk to people you think would be interesting. Join clubs & sports. That's a good/easy way to make friends as well. Another way is to just be nice to people. If you're nice, people will be attracted to becoming your friend because you're not stuck up. Sophomores & everyone else might become friends with you, but it all depends. Freshman year for you should be fine. I doubt anything bad will happen, so don't worry.

Freshman year is not that big a deal. My school has a pretty bad reputation, so I went in expecting the worst. But, I actually wasn't that nervous. I'm really shy too, unless I'm around my good friends. Making friends isn't that hard. Just talk to the people around you during class. Join a club or sport if you want.
And no, seniors pretty much couldn't care less about you. Unless you do something to really piss them off [acting concieted, trying to be cool, that kind of thing] they'll leave you alone. Of course, all schools are different, but I'd say you'll be fine. Freshman Friday doesn't exisist in my school. I bet it's just something they say to scare you, but they'll never actually do it.
Just go in there with an open mind and don't be annoying. You'll make tons of friends. I was a freshman last year, and I really enjoyed it. There's nothing to worry about. Enjoy, have fun, and good luck! :)

All highschools are different, so unless someone goes to the same school as you on here, it will be hard to describe what your first day will be like.
My freshman year was great. I was dating my boyfriend (who at the time was a Junior) and my town is so small, that I already knew everyone. The first day on the other hand, was scary. I'm an upcoming Junior now, and I could careless about the upcoming Freshman, and I doubt anyone in your school will care either. I hate a few of the freshman, and then love some others. It's not the class most people hate, it's a select few in the class.
The last week of my 8th grade year, a bunch of the freshman at the time told us all the new freshman got thrown over the senior hill. [Our school is on a mountain & on the side of it is a huge drop to a river. Kind of scary.] I was scared out of my mind, and actually threw up on the first day of school. = But it wasn't bad. The worst that happened to me was that I got shoved a lot in the hallway [on accident, don't worry ;)] and I got lost a few times. But that's it.
As for making friends, someone already mentioned that you will have a lot of classes with the upperclassmen, so making friends won't be as hard as you think. I promise =]

Trust me, i'm going into high school this year too and all I have ever heard was good things. They are more than happy to guide you to your classes, and theres good chances that your high school even has a mentoring program, usuaully made of juniors and seniors that will help you around the school! They might not talk to you really unless you ask them for directions, but you might make friends with them in classes. I heard this all from my brother and my parents and all my neighbors in highschool, and if all the people below me who said they're high school isn't like that, then chances is that yours isnt either. That should take a ton of stress off your shoulders =]

Hey!
I was a freshie last year.. it was horrible. On the first day.. I was thrown in the trash can and then I got a swirly! I was miserable the entire day. My friend got thrown over the "Senior Rail" and she almost had to get stitches! On Freshmen Friday.. it was even worse.. 12 people got sent to the hospital.
Okay.. so I'm totally kidding. Freshmen year IS NOT like that. And to debunk the rumor: There is NO SUCH THING as Freshmen Friday. It just doesn't exist. No one is going to throw you in a trash can, and you'll be fine. That isn't to say, Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores will like you, because most won't like you one bit, just because of your level on the high school food chain. But, it is still possible that you will make friends with Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and fellow Freshmen just by sitting next to them in a class. Trust me, you will make many new friends, and you will also lose some. But, because of this ordeal, you will find out who your real friends are.. the ones that are willing to keep the relationship going even if you don't have any classes together and you see each other about once a month.
As for making friends in general, I know this will sound redundant, but you need to be yourself. If you try to be something you're not, it will end up backfiring and you won't like how it turns out. Being fake and not yourself will cause you to have many "enemies", I guess you could say, and high school won't be what you want it to be. If you lie about yourself, people won't want to be friends with you... at all.
Good luck.. and if you need any more advice as you go through your freshmen year.. I am here to help.. just post in my inbox, and I will answer as best as I can!

Don't be scared, it's FUN. none of them torture you unless they are IMMATURE. i have never heard of any highschool actually being like the ones on tv. never. :/ when i went into highschool, everyone was inviting, helpful, kind and mature. i have never heard of freshmen friday though.
But if you go into highschool thinking and acting like you're "hot shit" .. yes you will be a target for the upperclassmen. it's going to piss them off and they might give you a hard time.
so just be yourself, have fun and make friends. my freshmen year, i had one freshmen friend and lots of sophomores and junior friends.
you'll get into some classes mixed with the upperclassmen. so you may be in a class and get partnered up with someone.. you may not know they are in a higher grade. the only classes i'm sure that will be all freshmen are .. PE and English. it's easy to make friends in class and in clubs. just ask for a pencil or what was the homework. simple questions and get involved in class discussions. there's a lot more people like you who are wanting to make new friends. probably a lot more shy too.
try to break out of your shell and be outgoing. just remember to have fun. don't bother with relationships because people have their heads in the clouds.. trying to get after the seniors [impossible]
join lots of clubs. dance. art. music. anime. writing. culture. yearbook.
you're going to be nervous but don't let it ruin your day.
