Freaking out over high school PLEASE HELP??????

Question

I will be starting High School in a week and I must admit I am very scared. For one, I haven't been to school in over a year because I didn't go to the 8th grade because I was very sick and like in the hospital, and like I know I won't be behind because I know what my curriculum will be like I will be doing geometry and I've done algebra one and even geometry already but like I'm wondering how hard it will be to get back into the "groove" so to speak. I was also wondering how hard high school is, what people wear and act like, and how to mange time. Also, I am going to be in the IB program so how hard is that, I mean even though I've already done like geometry and world history I will probably be doing a lot of stuff I haven't done and like since I haven't done home work in a year how hard will that be to get back into. Thnx

Answer 3

dont freak out. its ok. high school isnt nearly as bad as ppl say. the upperclassman dont beat u up or stuff u in lockers. in fact, u get a lot of friends that are upperclassman.

and high school is a little tougher than middle school. the worst part is the homework. so, if you dont have a study hall, as soon as you get home, DO YOUR HOMEWORK! i know it sounds stupid, but it actually works, and after a while, u get used to it, then u have it out of the way. :D in addition, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. MOST OF THE GRADES YOU GET IN HIGH SCHOOL DEPEND ON THE WORK, SO IF YOU FAIL EVERY SINGLE TEST/QUIZ, YOU WILL NOT FAIL IF YOU DO ALL THE WORK. but, that doesnt mean you have to bomb the tests. theyre very important and prepare you for exams. exams are even more important, study, study, study! study like it means ur life.

dont sweat it. high school isnt that bad. just calm down, ull like high school. its a lot more independent than middle school. more freedom. XD.

EDIT:

wear what you want. XD. i tried to step it up a notch in high school, that was my goal. i dress however i want, cuz i like to dress girly, but i also love rock, so i try out styles. experiment!

Answer 4

trust me high school is no big deal i thought it was gonna be i went to  school where i knew no one (and im really shy) and by the end of freshman year i had tons of friends that i didnt know what to do with myself

Answer 5

haha dont sweat it

everyone gets nervous to go into high school because they dont know what its like

but just be yourself and you will make friends since everyone wants to belong

and high school is not hard at all!

basically it depends how your teacher is and hopefully you will get good ones but of course your probably going to encounter some bad ones too

i have friends in the IB program and since we used to be on the same level

it cant be that bad!

my friends got all A's and 1 B in the whole year

homework will not be too overwhelming

because you have 4 classes a day

just study hard and truly work to your full potential

dont cheat

and enjoy your first year of high school

you will get used to it

just remember today is your day to live and someone elses day to die

Answer 6

It wont be so hard since you kept excercising your brain by studying. I also stopped a year before high school and I didnt study at all during the year. when I came for 9th grade, I didnt really have a hard time adjusting to the school atmosphere again. but my grades went lower because I lost my momentum for the one year. but anyway, its not that hard. seeing that you're even an IB student then you'll do fine! of course just listen and do what you're assigned.

good luck on the first day!

Answer 7

im ttly excited...and guess what im going into the IB program!!!

its gonna be fine..you'll make great friends!!!

Answer 8

its easy.. nothing SCARY about it.. they aint monsters lol

Answer 9

First of all take a deep breath.  High school can be whatever you want it to be.  Realistically, you sound very educated and smart and I hardly doubt you will have a hard time; so try to challenge yourself.  Take the IB program to get ahead so that it will all pay off in college, and believe me, from experience it does. Just go to school the first day and think how wonderful it will be.  Positive mind = positive outcome.  Don't psyche yourself out.  Just wear jeans, and a polo if you are uncomfortable with present styles; grab a teen magazine from the store and flip through it to get an idea of what kids wear.  But likely what you see kids wearing around town is the same that they will wear at school.  Keep up the smarts and health and highschool you will find to be a breeze!

Answer 10

You'll be excited and scared at the same time. HS is fun, enjoy every minute of it, cause it goes by in a flash!

Answer 11

The kids can be very rude. but high school overall isnt that bad, the school work isnt to hard, and its pretty much the same as middle school except in highschool you have 3 levels of kids above you. but dont worry every thing will be fine. just try to hangout or talk to people in your grade and dont be to pushy with new friends. anymore quuestions ask thebbshow.com

Answer 12

don't worry.

high school is a big change from middle school, the teachers start to count on you allot more and your work wont be totally cut out for you.

When you get into the acedemic part of school that you've been away from teachers might expect more from you than you realize, try to go above the goals to show you want to be a good student. The social part of high school is a really big deal there will probably be drama and things like  that but its all part of high school. Keep up on fashion and styles, people tend to start judging on appearance and you also want to look your best. Just try hard.

Answer 13

Its not so bad.. relax lol....

Answer 14

First of all DONT FREAK OUT!!!! i started high school last year and i was also in the IB program. It is hard at first but the teachers are there to help and they helped me learn how to manage my time and keep up with study habits. As for your clothes, high school is filled with many different kind of people so wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing. I thought that high school people would really care what i was wearing but it turns out they dont really since there is suck a wide variety of people...i think all i have left to say is GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 15

high school as a freshman was very easy for me, and dress how ever you want to dress, if your out going you should be able to find friends fast

Answer 16

dont freak out youll LOVE it!!! join something fun like drumline like i am or something else tht you like to do and the people in whatevr you choose to do will help you through high school ALOT both with friends and your homework and grades and such

Answer 17

Everything will be ok, High school is not hard, and people usually wear jeans and a shirt so don't worry about it, there are some ridiculus girls that wear dresses with high heels. It won't be hard to get back to your old self doing homework and stuff so don't really worry about that just enjoy it, because it goes by really fast. I remember my first year and high school and I will never forget it and I did enjoy being in high school, now I'm in college. So my best advice is to just enjoy it.

Answer 18

ill be a freshman next yr. too and im pretty much freaking out as well. but i can tell you your not the only one freaking out and i know that for a fact. i dont remember being this nervous going into middle school. sry. you got stuck in the hospital for your 8th grade yr. but i kinda wish i wasnt going into high school with the same people i just finished middle school. youll get back in the swing of it.

hope i helped and good luck!   :D

Answer 19

Ask around your new classmates and on't go to the s****. kids. Also, don't say "like" every five seconds. :\

Answer 20

who knows

Answer 21

So you didn't attend 8th grade because you were sick? Whoa! Well, congratulations on your health and being able to jump back in the game! :)

I can see why you're nervous, but I think that's all it is...nerves. Everything will be ok. Most people are nervous about going to a new school so you won't be the only one. As far as the workload, I'm pretty sure you won't have a problem. If struggles come up, you're teachers and parents will be able to help you. If they thought you were behind or something, you wouldn't be moving on...so you're ready.

You will make friends in classes. Join groups or clubs and that will make it easier.

Give yourself some time. I would guess by the time yall break for the holidays you will have jumped back in and gotten settled. Don't worry. Have a blast! It's high school! It means you're almost done! LOL

Answer 22

9th grade is the easiest year your going to have out of your remaining years. Your work load is going to include more projects, and research though. Just remember, teachers stop giving you an easy pass, it turns more into what you produce rather than how hard you work. 10th grade will get a little harder, but don't think it's a breeze, things will sneak up on you and definetly come back at you. 11th grade is your hardest year, you start paniking if you forgot something earlier, you have to make sure your classes are all right to graduate the fallowing year, etc. your 12th grade year is way easier than your 11th. your just wrapping up classes and credits, and getting ready for life.

Answer 23

dont worry im going to high school next year and im short for my age, so dont worry bout anything cause were always are going to be afraid to try something new. It'll work in your favor just have a positive attitude and dont get into peer pressure by doing your best and your high school will be great!

Answer 24

billions of people have done it, you can do it too
