I remember my first day of 9th grade..I was terrified. Honestly, I found out there wasn't even a reason to be afraid! It's a very fun experience and it prepares you for the years ahead (college, work, etc.)
The teacher's may be a little more strict though, because, again, they're preparing you for after high school.
But! I have to sayy, High School is the best :D! It's where you can also make friends that last [sometimes] forever.
How can you not worry?:
Well, hang out with your friends the first day of school. I'm sure you'll be comfortable with them.
And, just take breathe and relax!
I mean, High School is a wonderful experience.
However, I'm going to be a Junior in High School. The best advice I have for you is to just be yourself. Don't fall into the wrong crowds. Pick good people to hang with..and you'll be fine. :)
tiredoftrying answered Thursday August 13 2009, 9:17 pm: alright so I went to a middle school with all my bestfriends, but my parents yanked me out and started me out at a catholic private school where i knew NO ONE. So not only was i scared shitless because i was starting highschool, but also because I didn't know anyone. But here's what I did, and it worked. - talk yourself up in all the time you have before highschool. tell yourself how your gonna be, over and over. get ready for it mentally. And then, after all that time, you'll be ready. It's a scary thing, but you'll have your other friends which is something I didn't have. They'll help you and support you, and make you feel more comfortable. But relax, breathe in, shake out that nervous feeling, and be yourself. people will love you :)
gooodluck. [ tiredoftrying's advice column | Ask tiredoftrying A Question ]

I was scared, but I looked at it like this: I'm old enough to call myself a high school student. I'm smart enough to call myself a high school student. And I'm matured enough to call myself a high school student. You have too look at it as an accomplishment and not something to be worried, stressed, or scared about.

Nothing can build your courage except yourself. I can tell you that your first year of high school is going to be amazing, but it's not unless you make it that way. It's scary, but it's not something to be worried sick about. You have to make it what you want it to be. Sitting back and letting the older kids pick at you will only make you miserable. Don't let people walk all over you and stand up for yourself. Gain some self confidence by taking a few of your best friends to help you pick out the most amazing back-to-school outfit. Trust me, self image goes a longggg way.
Also, once you start high school the peer pressure to drink, have sex, do drugs, and just plain be illegal is overwhelming. When you feel pressured step back and think what would my _____ (fill in the blank with a family member or close elder you respect) think of this. I've kept a few rules while I was in high school. A few of them, but not many of them include:
1. Stay true to myself.
2. Never do something I don't want to do just to fit in.
3. No matter what anyone says always believe that you can do anything.
4. And NEVER rely on other people to do your job.
There's a lot more than this, but these are the most important ones you should be worried about. Be strong and you'll do fine.
