Answer 1

1.No, i'm a freshman, and no one made fun of me on my first day.

2.No

3.Just smile and be friendly

4.You won't have a lot of time, so you have to go to your classes quickly!

5.Something cute

Answer 2

- No, they are mostly nice, no one will make fun of you! so don't worry...

- nope

- just say hi to the people in your classes and sit next to people at lunch, i mean, they wouldn't say "go away" it's not nice!

- I had like 8 or 9 minutes between classes but it might be different for your school.

- Wear whatever you like to wear!

Hope i helped! =)

WOW! going to into high school as a 13 year old would be scary.  I'm a junior and remember this whole thing, so I'll try and help.

No one should make fun of you for being 13.  We have a 6th grader who come to Geometry every morning and left at lunch and everyone treated him like a hero for being so smart.  

Again, people should not make fun of you for being homeschooled.  However, I knew a girl who was homeschooled and acted like she was the smartest girl in the world for having one-on-one learning her whole life. Granted, you are smart for going into high school so early, but please dont be a show-off.  It will not help you make friends.

To make friends, introduce yourself! I was a new kid too and you won't believe the power of simply saying "Hi, my name is..."  I know it's hard for some people, but it's worth it! Also, great friendships are waiting in sports and extracurr. Definately try some.

I have about 3-4 minutes between classes.  For me, it's enough time to get from my class to my locker and my next class.  I also go to a small school, so that may vary...Your first day should gave you a good idea of what to do for what books to take where.

A regular first day consists of you going to class to class and basically finding each class and learning about your teacher, curriculm etc..  NONE of the teachers expect any freshman to be on time and they usually stand outside the class room until everyone's there.  If you don't know where a room is, ask! I have never seen an upperclassman give wrong directions on purpose.

Wear whats comfortable.  Please don't wear anything super revealing or S****y and gave us the wrong impression or worse get sent home.  I saw that happen too.

HAVE FUN! HIGH SCHOOL IS A BLAST!

Answer 4

lol wow..well, be yourself..be confident..and nice. um..people wont really make fun of you i dont think...i mean, if someone skipped a grade, i'd be amazed with them..making friends is sorta hard..but really just be nice to everyone..between classes? idk. for me, its like 3 minutes..but the teachers will give you a break the first week cuz they'll understand about finding the rooms and opening your locker..dont wear such a big backpack..lol..its funny&people could make fun of you for that..but just take what you need and if you enough have time between, thats when you go to your locker. see how close your classes are so you can determine when you'd have time for going to your locker.

you're first day..and every other day, will be crowded..BUNCH of kids, running,talking, w/e..just look friendly and not scared. dont care what everyone thinks. find someone whos nice and talk to them..but DONT follow them around like a puppy...thats soo annoying..unless they tell you "lets go" or something..then okay..but other than that, try to make new friends as well.

listen to what people say, and try to find out things about it..you might like it too and you'll find things to talk about..just dont look nosy. (:

what you should wear? hm..whatever you like really..be unique..SERIOUSLY..it gets you farther..uhh dress comfortable..jeans&a cute tee are good..and maybe sneakers..like eckos,nike,pumas,converse,jordans,adidas... whatever you're into!

try getting involved and joining clubs and sports too..new friends there too. (:

be ready with a notebook and a pen for the first day..to take notes..the teachers will tell you what they want for the class, if they dont, ask...some might want certain notebook,binders,etc..others dont care as long as you're organized and prepared..

uhh pay attention in class..and study..yupp thats about it. =D

you should go see the school first..look around..maybe meet some teachers or the principal..see where your classes are..just ask your mom to call the school. i bet they already know the situation, so just ask if you can visit early.

GOOD LUCK! :]

p.s. if 8th grade is the first grade in h.s. then you should be really glad cuz there will be a bunch of new kids too from middle school.
