Do you have any tips for high school? :)

Question

Well, I'm going to be a Freshman this year and my school starts in about a week. I'm very nervous. I have heard that the seniors pick on the Freshman and stuff, is that true? Also, is there any advice you would be able to give me when I go to high school?

Answer 1

Hey.... There's no need to be nervous, and most of the time the seniors and juniors really don't care about freshman and if you don't do anything to provoke them then they will not mess with you... Honestly the picking on (shoving in the locker c**p) only happens in movies...:) Yeah, I know this is cliche and all.. but seriously be yourself and take it one step at a time... Join some clubs that YOU are interested in (not just your friends) and you will make more friends you can relate to. Don't worry about teachers either, there is always going to be that ONE that you have trouble with but just look past that  and you will be fine... Umm... don't give in to peer pressure and just have a good time, High School is where you meet some of your closest friends so have Fun, join sports and clubs, and Study(ha!) GOOD LUCK!

Seniors, or any upper class-men/women, for that matter, have much better things to do than to 'pick on' Freshmen. Those are only rumors, that are designed to scare you, which that effectively have done so. They might say some things to you like, 'Watch out for the freshmen!', or 'Look at the little kids!' just simple things of the sort just to make you feel anxious, but that is about it. There is not 'Freshmen Wednesday' where they put the Freshmen in garbage can, there are no fights between Freshmen and upper class members, nothing of the sort. It's hard not to be nervous when you are starting something new, jumping into the unknown for the first time, so don't worry. And by being nervous you are showing that you care, that you want to make a good impression to others of yourself, which is fantastic. You will do fine, just fine. Just live high school to your fullest. Be open to new things, within reason, socialize within anyone that you can, join clubs, go out for a sport, participate in class, just be an all around nice person which I know you already are. HAVE FUN!!!! High school is supposed to be time in your life where you venture into new things, and figure out who you are and what your goals/ interests are. I know, four years seems like a h**l of a long time, but once you get started, time will fly by so fast that before you know it, you'll be graduating. You don't believe me now, but you get caught up in so many new things in high school that time passes faster and faster. Have a great time, don't let anything get you down.

Answer 3

most of the people who pick on freshmen are sophmores.... they think they are soo cool cuz they're not freshman anymore.... but just ignore them cuz they're just immature jerks! don't worry if someone picks on you. they just try to make you uncomfortable and see how you react. the worse thing they would do to you is call you names like "freshy" or something like that.
