I will be going into high school as a freshman come September. I am really nervous and people say "watch your backs if you want to fit in." Well I fucked that up already coming out. I want to join the cheerleading team, but I don't want a lot of people to say shit to me. Any advice?
TheTeenGirl answered Sunday August 5 2007, 5:57 am: Your feelings are the exact same as everyone else going into high school. And this whole 'watch your back if you want to fit in' is very untrue and stupid. In fact, lots of people describe high school as very memorable an whether that be because of the sports, clubs, new friends or a high school sweetheart, everyone fits in high school.
Go for cheerleading, if thats what you really want to do, don't let anything stop you. Thats the first step in fitting in, is joining apart of a team or group to make new friends. Yes, there will be tough times when people are mean or ignorant, but honestly, it's not something huge that people should warn you about because it's the opinions of your classmates and you're familiar with them! So it shouldn't be harder than before. The only big thing is finding what you want to do with your life, colleges, and then graduation. So don't let people scare you off from what you want out of your high school experience. Best of luck!

~good luck!
