I will go back to school in august and I am going to high school for the first time. Kind of nervous about it and ugh, I want to get it over with. Can you guys give me some "high school experience" stories or tips or something? I think I am really gonna hate it. Is it as big of a deal as it is on tv and stuff, cause I always hear how high school was like a crazy time...
Anyway, any advice?
Thanks, "hsh8tr",

For example, years ago, when I was going into high school, I initially looked at it as a fresh start and a chance to meet new people and make new friends. Sure, it's natural to be nervous but anything new in life usually has that effect. After all, a lot of times when people have "butterflies in their stomach" it really stems from excitement.
It has not very much at all like they make it out to be on TV in most cases. Shows and pop culture tend to blow it out of proportion.
Actually, being older for just starting out in high school might even be a benefit for you. Some of the other students might look up to you like a big sister of sorts.

Freshman year is kind of nerve wrecking, it is NOT as big of a deal as they make it seem on tv. Just be the best you you can be. And have fun! Your gonna make a ton of new friends, go to school dances, football games, etc. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions! Dont be nervous (:
