Highschool: what to expect?

Question

I went to a little private catholic gradeschool... No I'm going to a huge public highschool where one grade is as big as the whole student population in my whole gradeschool! Can you say huge change?!

I'm not scared though I'm just apprehensive and well idk. As you can imagine in my old school its a lot of snobs and rich white kids and in my highschool its a lot more of variety and everything. I'm involved with a lot of sports and clubs and that such (school hasn't even started yet) and I'm doing my very best in getting to know people and a lot of my friends from my old school are going too but idk what am I to expect?

I know people survive it all and all but seriously what should I be worried about and what should I not be? And not just about highschool but about the new environment and people for that matter?

Clothes: In my old school believe it or not we wore uniforms! And when we weren't wearing uniforms it was a big competition on who was wearing the most name brands. How is highschool like? I had enough money to afford a stupid catholic school but i don't have enough money to buy a truck load of nice clothes although I admit I have my fair share. So what should I expect about clothes and what is a good first day of school outfit? I hate to be superficial but idk its just a big change, you know and I could use some advice?

Answer 1

first day of highschool how about you wearing something your comfee in.

You got four years to work on your wardrobe then four years of collge after that, the first two don't count in college, unless you go greek.

you can't go breaking good old mom&dad's bank account for a bunch of new rags.

Answer 2

one thing that i can stress on you the most is GET INVOLVED as soon as possible. because you need to actually be involved with whats going on around school to have an amazing high school experience. and you meet people that way!! look at is as exiting, because with a bigger school you have the chance to meet so many great people. and dont stick with one group, be friends with everyone, dont have a click that you just stay in, because honestly thats not fun. join clubs, try a new sport (half of the freshman havent played the sport that they're in now before high school) im going to be a junior by the way, so i pretty much know what im talking about. oh and run to be a class officer for something, because then you can plan trips/dances/prom in the future. best of luck with everything, dont be nervous, just be friendly and outgoing with everyone (: i can go on forever trust me lol anything else email me i totally dont mind telling you more!

High School can be really fun! You have to watch who you call friends and don't trust everyone.Be yourself. Don't get involved in cliques.Be honest with yourself and the people around you! On the first day of high school you should dress casually. Like for instance I am wearing some dark denim jeans with a white blouse and a halter vest.For shoes I will wear ballet flats.Casual but comfy all at once while you get use to the new envoirment.
