Answer 6

-be chill about it. don't freak out about small things. try and be laid back as possible but still get your assignments done.

-don't decorate your locker with flowers and all that junk, it gets annoying

-be nice to everyone, even the weirdos;you don't want a bad reputation

-hhhhhaaave FUN!! :) you are on cheer so pretty much you will be accepted, so don't even worry about it!

Answer 7

just dont think your better than everyone and you will be okay also don't be fake

and just because your a cheerleader doesn't mean everyone will like you most likely they will be jealous and hate you so just be nice :)

Answer 8

Be your self.

Always keep extra deodorant and Tampons or pads and a few extra dollars,

Don't go near the meen girls

make Friends with the nerds you never know when they can help you with home work

Answer 9

try to get a map before the first day of school. know where the wings are [english wing, math hallway...ect.]

if you get the list of class rooms then map out where you are going :) so you'll know the best routes to take.

buy your basic school supplies beforehand [a binder, folder, notebook/paper,pens,pencils,backpack] before hand that way all you'll have to buy after the first day is the necessities for each class.

don't worry about being harassed by upperclassman on the first day. i was a freshman last year and nothing happened to me OR anyone i knew.

just remember: you were in middle school at one time with the juniors and sophmores (when you were in 6th grade!) and the seniors really keep to themselves. dont be nervous-highschool is a time to have fun and be with your friends!

Answer 10

Yeah, you've got a great in by doing cheerleading already.

Some tips:

1) Don't EVER question the power of an upperclassmen.

2) As for lockers....keep it only for your books and notebooks....that's it. If you have a graphing calculator (the expensive kind), keep it in your bag because it can get stolen.

3) Ignore any let-downs the upperclassmen give you.

Usually all the teasing is just the first month of school, then it gets a lot better. I just finished frosh year and I survived, so I know you will too :)

Good luck!!
