Upperclassmen might try to make it sound like the most dreadful thing in the world, but once you get there, they don't care about you all all.
-Be yourself. Don't be someone you're not. That'll just make EVERYONE hate you.
-Don't try to be extremly popular and act like you know and are friends with everyone. That'll just get on everyone's nerves.
-Just be friendly. Talk to people who sit around you during class. Join a club or two. Maybe a sport. Try to be a well-rounded person.
-Don't be a slut.
-Don't try to suck up to the upperclassmen.
-Just go about your own business.
You're friends with people from different cliques, and that's good. Every school has cliques, and yeah, some worse than others, but you said you're friends with everyone. I don't think you'll have a problem with that, as long as you don't act totally different between the groups. You'll be fine. [ advicer's advice column | Ask advicer A Question ]
mariahneu answered Tuesday July 17 2007, 8:58 pm: I would not worry about the cliques. Be your own person.
If you are an individual, and act like an individual, instead of seeming cliquey and talking to people that are only in your group, then other people that could become great friends with you could take you as being a snob, when you really aren't.
I would hang out with people from all different cliques. This way, you can make good, true friends that you can know and trust, that like you for you.
I wouldn't get mixed up in the whole clique thing, you should just be your own person, and be outgoing so that you can make friends with a variety of different people. Although, having a few good friends is better than having 200 friends that you don't really know.
After all, my philosophy is that friends are like puzzle pieces. They make up for your likes and differences, and you can't live without them. The more friends you have, the harder the "puzzle" is to solve. The less friends you have, the easier the puzzle is to solve, which makes you have better friends that you know and trust.

ASAPcamille answered Tuesday July 17 2007, 8:54 pm: Don't talk to the seniors- they will pretend to be your friend, then make fun of you.
Dont wear revealing clothing, the seniors will hate you.
Never tell on anyone who is copying someone's homework- you will get the name tattle-tail for life.
Let the older kids go first in the lunch line, then they won't completely hate you:]
Do's
-Keep to yourself, and mind your own business
-Join clubs to meet new people
-Be nice to everyone, backstab no one
-Get good grades [ ASAPcamille's advice column | Ask ASAPcamille A Question ]
soendearing answered Tuesday July 17 2007, 8:50 pm: Just be yourself. Don't start drama, and you'll find yourself with a bunch of friends. If you get made fun of, which you shouldn't, but if you do, ignore them. Make sure you have fun too!
Just stick with your friends, and you'll make more as the year progresses!
