Just be yourself...you don't have to go with the trends and you don't have to try to act cool, trying to act cool just makes people seem more...childish and dorky which leads to dumb comments such as "stupid freshman"...Don't pay attention to that. As for the drama drama drama people...stay away from them. Blow off everything they say it doesn't really matter. Make new friends, in your new classes just introduce yourself or say hi to the person sitting next to you. You're gonna be a freshman so most of the other freshman are feeling like you are right now...terrified, you will look calm and confident compared to them if you are the one to say hi first. At the first sign of a dramatic person, move yourself away, you don't want drama in highschool its just plain bad, so when you see a drama girl coming your way walk a different direction. Theres a whole school of new people to get to know. I promise its not that scary.

justaskVy answered Wednesday August 22 2007, 6:22 pm: First piece of advice... RELAX!!. I remmebered my first day of high school too. I thought it was all badd but it wasn't. Its just like middle school except you are in a bigger and older environment.
Second, its HIGH SCH00L!. there will always be DRAMA!. one way to avoid it is ignore whoever you have problem with. If they say something tell them to get a life. cuz you have your own to deal with.
Last but not least, just have fun. its not hardd. you'll meet new friends. Don't try to act out of the ordinary. be yourself. hang out with the people that you know or with your friends. You'll be fine. If you don't know what to do .. ask someone. they'll help you. You're a freshman. .. you'll find AL0T of friends there .. trust me. freshman year is the best year.
good luck. and have fun. =].
hope I helped. [ justaskVy's advice column | Ask justaskVy A Question ]
