I dunno what to expect in 9th grade. I mean the work is nothing to me i have great work habits idc about that its just like i go to a PreDominantely white school, and im black so people make a lot of jokes about stereotypes for black girls over the years ive never had a lot of problems with things maybe a weave joke or two mostly but now thag im going tohigh school im scared that people be rude to me. Does it get like that in high school? Or does it just stay the same with an a fewjokes i mean im not sensitive but i have some friends that might be not sure. Im also afraid that some people i hangout with are going to like go down the wrong road
Make it the best 4 years of your life. And about the rebels or the 'bad' kids, don't worry about them. Make your own clique and have your own friends, join after school activities and different clubs. Get a lot of experience and make friends for a lifetime. Don't worry about the little things that tend to bring good people like us down.
You and I, aren't so different. We're both nervous about highschool though one of us is giving the advice haha. Just make it the best years. You decide what it'll be like, so don't let anyone walk over you and be yourself. Good luck! xo [ Girlygirlhere's advice column | Ask Girlygirlhere A Question ]

If you have friends that you don't think you can rely on or are not the right type of friends, then go make new ones. You don't need to hang out with the same people you hung out with in middle school. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

But the majority will "slowly" grown a bit more mature as the years pass. I am white and remember a black girl who used to pick on me through high school... I am not sure why, but late in our senior year, she walked up to me one day and said she wanted to apologize for all the times she was mean to me. I had no hard feelings. That just proves people can grow up. I admire her, cus she had more guts than the group of white kids who teased me. They never apologized or grew up...whichever it was.
What I did and what you will do is form your own group of supportive friends that you hang out with, no matter what their race and just not associate with the immature. High school is pretty big so it's pretty easy to stay out of the way of those you don't prefer to hang with. I had friends of all grades levels and of many races, Native american, black and chinese though my school was predominantly white. My friends was chosen for who they were on the inside and how they treated me. Good luck dear! [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
Lilz answered Friday August 2 2013, 11:04 pm: I was in the same boat as you 4 years ago. I am black, in a pretty much all white community. Not only that i'm 5'11. I prepared myself for every thing imaginable. The thing is that high school is not what you see in the movies. Yes there are cliques, but its nothing like what you see in t.v. People only say what you allow them to say. I'm not saying to fight or anything, I'm just saying you don't have to take it. And also know your friends will likely change because you will change during your high school career. You seem bright and know when to cut it off with people who have nothing going for themselves. I wish you the best of luck, and have fun. high school is the beginning of the end for being a kid. so live it up! don't worry to much.

High school isn't easy, I won't lie. Many people nowadays seem to be hypocritical about everything. In high school you will make friends and you will loose friends. It is much different then middle school. People seem to have "groups" popular, Nerds, Jocks etc. And sadly? Nobody seems to realize that not a bit of this matters after high school. If anything it isn't stereotypes, It's peer pressure you should worry about. I think you are smart enough to know to stay away from anyone who is acting like an ass or just has a head full of stupidity. If you feel your friends are going down the wrong road then listen too yourself and back off. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
