First day of high school help?

Question

I'm going to start high school in less then 24 hours now and I'm just scared outta my mind.

For example I'm afraid people in the upper class and even some freshmen peers will make fun of me.

I'm only going to know about 10% of the freshmen there because the rest went to a different high school and I wanted to go to that one but it is too far from where I live.

Any suggestions like what I should do to calm my nerves or how I can be prepared for that first day of high school.

And this is kinda going to be embarrassing ,but my mom is going to come with me NOT to class but like to buy the stuff I need P.E clothes etc. And well I just feel embarrassed about that kinda thing.

Thanks in advance for any answers given!

Answer 1

Dude High School is not you think it to be. Just mind you own business and dont be a show off. Just be cool with people and most people will have your back.

Answer 2

You hear all these bad stories about what happens to freshman. Buit to tell the truth none of it ever happens. They were all freshman once too. They know the feeling.

Answer 3

Try this:  Think of all the people you know who have already gone to high school.  Now you know that you are just as smart, cool, and personable as they are.  So, if THEY could make it, YOU can make it.

As far as your mom coming along goes.  Just say, "Oh yeah, that's my mom.  She came here to buy me stuff.  You should see the list I gave her!"  And then laugh.

Answer 4

Live. Breathe Deeply. Think of the worst case scenario. That sounds like really crappy advice... but for me, if the worst case scenario doesn't end in me dying, there's nothing that anyone can do that really merits me worrying. It's a way of beginning... you are unbeatable... so just do it, there's nothing you can lose. put things into perspective.

Nothing bad is going to happen.

Answer 5

Freshman year is great.  the upper classmen are not as bad as people make them out to be.  they get mad when underclassmen get cocky so just be nice.  For the first week or two all the freshmen will be nervous so thats the time to show your confidence and make friends.  i know youve prob heard this before but join some clubs or do sports. they really do help. try to smile alot and make small talk.  im working on being prepared for my first day of sophomore year (tomorrow) and this is what im doing-

laying out my clothes in advance

having bag (backpack) ready

getting up half an hour early to ensure enough time

laying out my makeup and hairstuff so i dont forget anything

as for having your mom with you dont worry. no one will give you a hard time.  im sure other kids will have their mom their too.  i know its easy to get embassed when your parents are present but your moms only going to be their for a few minutes.

in the morning play a really up beat song to boost your energy and confidence.

good luck!!!

Answer 6

Well its my first year in high school too, but I'll try as hard as I can with the advice. (our high school and middle school were attached so I was around older people._

Be yourself.  

The upperclassmen won't bug you if you don't bug them.  If you get in their way, they might be rude just say sorry and move.  

Its no biggie.  Good luck!  

Answer 7

Last year I was a freshmen at a new school so I knew 0% of the people there.  It turned out suprisingly well, (I was scared out of my mind as well) and if your just yourself, you don't talk about too many people behind there back, and don't, for lack of a better word, act "S****y", you should be totally fine! A first few days the upperclassman might act like they are better than you, but they'll get over it.  You might even be friends with them.  And the seniors aren't as scary as you might think.  They usually could care less about freshmen.  

And as far as getting along with other freshmen, just be outgoing and act like yourself and you'll meet people that are just like you
