High School
14/f
I'm a little nervous about what people say about high school. People say that high school is really a scary thing and that the older kids always pick on you. One of my older friends got molested at a high school party. (Problem Solved) Kids are always talking about the populars. I never had any problem with it in Middle Scool. And I really don't know what to expect ? Can anyone share expieriences and tell me the honest good and bad of high school ?

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
don't believe that junk people r telling you. I'll b a junior this up coming year and no one picked on me when i was a freshman. Just don't act immature and people will probaly want to talk to u. when i was in 9th i didn't act immature and people thought i was a senior. just be your self but don't b to goofy if your on of those funny people. at my school there r alot of people that r freashman and friends with a lot of seniors and juniors. A lot of the freshman girls go with some junior and senior boys. its normal for everyone to basically know everyone in my school but i don't know about your school. Just don't worry about it. You will met people and have a great high school experience.

High school really isn't that bad. By the end of your freshman year, you'll be tired of it, and probably think it's lame. I don't know about the school you're going to, but no one got picked on or anything scary like that. There's only four or five high schools in my city, so most of the middle school kids moved up together-- so everyone still had their friends.
I will tell you that you should probably expect alot of drama and you know know that you won't have the same friends by the time the school year is over. I lost several good friends my freshman year, and alot of rumors went around about me, most or all of them being completely false.
You'll probably change too, during the coarse of your freshman year, everyone does to an extent. Most of my friends say that I got even cooler, some of my friends got a little less cool-- meaning not fun to be around anymore.
So just keep an open attitude about everything, never take anything TOO seriously, and be yourself. Don't forget that you aren't the only one probably freaking out about high school- everyone does for a little bit.

Highschool isn't scary. The first day is a little nerve wracking, but I promise by the end of the week you will love highschool. Almost everyone always does.
Older kids could care less about freshman. A few immature upperclassmen may pick on you, and if they do just ignore them. Sadly you are probably much more mature than them.
You have a lot more freedom as a highschool student as your friend unfortunately knows all to well. That freedom can be an amazing thing, but with it comes responsibility. If you are responsible, then it's not bad. If you aren't, well you obviously know what may happen.
People don't seem to understand what the world "popular" means. It means people like you, and people get along with you. Obviously many have forgotten that. Kids who are usually considered "popular" in highschool don't have many friends. They are usually stuck up, and you don't want to be that. They are snobs. Plain and simple. Don't let them get to you. If didn't have a problem with it in middle school then it probably won't be a problem in highschool either.
I'm a junior and i've had a mixture of good and bad experiences since i've been there. Overall highschool is great. I'm sure you'll love it.
Highschool is what you make it, so make it great. <3

Somehow I sent my advice twice. Sorry.

heyy well i used to think the same as you. i used to always be scared. but im not scared anymore because im already there. and its great.
its not the best thing ever. but ive never had problems with bullies. just be nice. kill them with kindness.
to tell you the truth. in my school theres no popular poeple. offcourse ,like in the classes becuas theres always going to be a person who stands up to the teacher and talks back to her in a bad way. so they get the respects in the classroom and evryone wants to be there friends jsut to be poular during the class. but when youre in the lunchroom everyones equal. like if youre around your friends and they liek you and you guys have friend then youre already popular among your group. and thats what matters.
but just remmeber to be outgoing really nice and KILL THE PEOPLE WITH KINDNESS. talk to all kidns of different people. thats whats really important. thats your friends with everyone!

1) Do not be afraid of high school. High school can be fun, you just have to seek your fun out. Find people you can relate to and hang out with them. Find activities you like doing and do them. Do sports, do debate, do whatever you want.
2) Following number 2, do not be afraid of high school classmates. Im making this statistic up, but 90% of the trouble and bad memories from high school happen because someone did something they didnt really want to do, and were talked into.
Also. If from day 1 you make it known that you will not be talked into doing something you dont want to do, and you will stand up for yourself, people will respect that.
Do not say "I need to think about it" when you want to say "No"
Do not say "Maybe" when you want to say "No"
Do not ho humm, do not hesistate, when you want to say "No" say "No"
About parties, because if you know people who go to them you will end up at one eventually.
If a guy starts grabbing you, remove his hands, look him in the eye, and tell him that if he does that again hes going to get his balls ripped off and fed to him.
This will stop most drunken high school guys.
Never, ever be afraid to stand up for whats right for you just because you are afraid of what people might think or say.
Lastly, high school is 4 years. At the end of these 4 years, you will probably never see almost everyone you went to school with, again. So when it comes down to "Do I do this to impress these people" Just remember. Scars, destroyed family relationships, and criminal records last a life time. The people you're trying to impress dont.
My graduating class was 720 people. I see 2 of them on any kind of a regular basis, and both of those people are pretty cool.

People probably just said that to scare you. It's not true at all. High school is pretty much nothing like on TV. Sure, there might be drama between you and your friends, just like middle school. But, upperclassmen seriously couldn't care less about you. Just go about your own business. Don't do anything that'll piss them off, you know, like trying to suck up to them, trying to be cool, just anything annoying, really.
As for your friend getting molested at a high school party, just don't hang around a bad crowd. Don't hang around people who drink, smoke, do drugs, sluts, etc. I'm not telling you not to go to parties, but just try to avoid those types of people.
Popular people don't care about you either. Like the upperclassmen, leave them alone, and you're fine.
I just finished my freshmen year and I really liked it. Like the other person said, it can be the best or the worst four years of your life. Don't try to be someone you're not. You'll be fine. I promise. Good luck and have fun! :)

I'm gonna tell you this in all seriousness. High school can either be the worst times of your life, or it can be the best times, but it depends on how you make it.
If you're worried about making lots of friends, becoming popular & cool, not getting picked on, or how to fit in, then you're going to be miserable.
Dress how you want, ignore the rumors, do your work, join sports & worry about nothing, and you'll be fine.
If you're worried about people picking on you, then keep worrying. Everyone gets picked on at some point in their life but if you ignore the shit they say, then they'll stop.
But do what makes you happy. High school is a lot of fun.

Hey. :]
I'm gonna be a senior next year, so i've been through three years of high school. It's really not as bad as you think. It's not "scary" or anything, and [at least at my school] people don't pick on you more than they do in Middle School.
I'm assuming you're gonna be a freshman so here are the good + bads of that year.
Good: Teachers are nice because they know you're new, you get to make tons of new friends, & it's like a fresh start because you're around so much new stuff.
Bad: It's more work than middle school & there's a chance you'll get lost in the beginning of the year since you don't know the school.
I'm sure you'll be fine.
After all, nobody's died from highschoolitis :D

I just finished my freshman year, and it was greatttt!=] You have so much more freedom than you do in middle school and it's so much more laid back. I never had a problem with high school as far as people, i mean of course there was the bitchy girl drama, but anywhere you go, thats going to be there. It is a little harder than middle school academicly speeking, but not much. If you stick to it, do all your homework, and dont screw off in class, you'll do fine. Its easy to balance your friends and your school work, so its not like your going to be overloaded with work. All in all, high school is reallllyy fun=] My best friend is going to be a freshman, and shes all nervous about it, and i told her pretty much exactly what i told you, but she said shes still nervous. Your going to be untill you get there, but once your there, your going to laugh at yourself from being nervous and stuff=] But dont worry about it, if your anything like me, you'll love it!=]

Mine freshman year wasnt bad at all. My sister was a senior and I knew everyone. My sister was very well liked by most. The Good for me was i knew a lot of people and I didnt have any trouble at all. But the bad was I was known as Steph's Little sister, And I couldnt date the older guys bc of my sister. Mine wasnt bad at all. So if you know a older well liked person then try to hang out with them. Hope I helped<3
