Yeah! High School!

The pros:
You're not this annoying middle schooler any more.
You have more responisbilities.
There's a sea of people in high school you will probably never meet.
You get to decide how you want to start off the rest of your life.
You choose who you want to hang with, what crowd, how you will probably act in college (not all the time....).
It's fun.
You have time to experience many things.
You'll love it at times.
It's up to you how you want your high school years to turn out.
Teachers can baby you a lot.
You get a feel for what you may like to do later in life.
You make lots of friends.

The cons:
There's still drama (but you can stay out of it).
There will be breakdowns.
You will hate it at times.
People are rude.
You will learn study habits ... good and bad.
Teachers will be mean sometimes.
Fights.
Getting up early, staying late
There will be a group of people you won't be fond of.

You decide how your years will go! I have lots of friends who skipped prom. DON'T DO IT. You only get to go to prom once with your class - GO!! Don't worry too much about relationships - half the time they won't last the other half your heart will be broken and you'll realize far too late that it wasn't worth it. If one comes along then GREAT! but don't set your high school goal on finding a guy - college brings many many guys together!! Don't forget to have fun. Stay with a good crowd - no drugs, drinking etc, but have so much fun!

You can do it!! :)

High school was a bittersweet memory. I just graduated in June so I had my full experience.
So for standard stuff, make good friends but be nice to everyone.
-You'll be judged but you shouldn't care about what these people think.
-Make good impressions, especially on teachers but even with other students.
-Don't procrastinate on your work. It becomes a bad habit and I struggled with it all my years. My grades dropped every time I did that.
-Your friends are going to change and so will you. So you'll be making new friends every year.
-Make sure you study. Once you start, you'll get better at it. You might not need it so much being young but when you get older, it'll definitely help.
-Join clubs. You'll be closer with people who have similar interests as you.
-And don't get into the wrong crowd. You don't want to get into drugs and all that. My brother went into that his freshman year and now he and his friend ended up in juvi and so much trouble. So pick the right friends and do the right thing.

For relationships, I dated each year of high school. Honestly, after all that, those guys weren't worth it. My first relationship lasted a month and it was extremely awkward. My second pressured me too much and did some awful things and I only went out with him because I wanted a boyfriend. The 3rd, he ended up moving. I'm still dating my current boyfriend. We've been together for 11 months.
So don't go looking for boys. Just wait and don't do stuff you're not ready for.

I liked school my last couple years. Freshman and sophomore year I was going through some hard times so I never really enjoyed it.
Senior year was the best. I made lots of friends and spent a lot of time with them.
You'll be fine and you'll enjoy it.

Freshman year was most deff. My best year! Sophmore year was really hard for me.. high school is really great,I would say join some clubs you'll meet a lot of wonderful people plus highschool goes by really fast I can't belive I'm already a junior. You trul y find yourself in hs. As for relationships I wouldnt get too caught up in them unless you actually truly like him.

Goodluck I hope you have a good first day!(:

Ah, I loved freshman year. It was my best. Sophmore year was depressing, Junior year was okay. So, freshman year. I met a lot of new friends. I loved the new environment. But the thing for me was that once sophmore year came, a lot of my friends "changed" and it wasn't the same. I myself changed too. Some of my friends started doing & selling drugs, some dropped out, some moved, they all went in different directions. There was this girl that I really started to like in freshman year. We no longer talk. It's like she wasn't the same person. IDK...Anyway, I grew A LOT, and I learned A LOT. I'm going to be a senior this september. Well. Good luck. And be very careful with the decisions you make. Some things didn't go my way, but I'm glad I am where I'm at right now. I could've easily been a dealer, a pothead, or a daddy by now, but I'm not. Some of my old friends are there already. It's easy to get distracted in HS. As for relationships, I think I should wait 'till I'm done with HS.

Wow, I remember my first year in high school. I was so nervous because I was "freshmeat" and I didn't really have many friends. But here I am a senior in high school. The best thing I can tell you is make every moment count. The memories you create, you will never be able to replicate again. Enjoy yourself. For relationships, I'd say don't rush into them. My boyfriend found me...or we both found each other. Watch out though because being a freshman in in high school, some people might take advantage of you...it happens but you have to avoid those people at all costs. Join certain clubs or societies. Find clubs that interest you and join them. You'd be amazed to find people who share the same interest as you. Some school tips would be, do your homework. I know it sounds stupid but everything you do in high school counts towards college. Do your best in everything you do. You'll be amazed with the ending results.

A final quote that I want to share with you that I believe will help you when things get tough (which they will sometimes) is this:

"When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place."

Have fun and enjoy those last 4 years!! :)
