Answer 1

There isn't really anything you can do about upper classmen hating freshman. They really don't hate you, its just a superficial thing. trust me i'm going to be a senior. all i can say is don't spend your whole high school life trying to fit in or hanging with your friends everyday. do your homework and don't slack. if you need help ask a teacher. that's what their there for. have fun! it will be great, but remeber your in school to get an education. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Yea I'm going to be a junior this year. Finally an upperclassman! Yea the upperclassmen don't really hate you guys. The main thing that's annoying is when freshmen act like they own the school in the hallways that's when we step in.  Seriously if you want to do good you must do your homework. Do not slack.  It is hard to make up work in high school if you get really behind. Concentrate and try your best and everything will hopefully work out. Freshmen year kind of just sets you up for the rest of high school it is the easiest year and the real work doesn't start until sophomore year. Stay focused and everything will be fine Good luck!
