How to survive the upcoming years of high school?

Question

I am going to be in tenth grade, and I know that the system will be different from ninth grade. Are there any tips on how to pass high school successfully? I really want to get really good grades and enter university, but at the same time, I want to enjoy high school (I had a bad social life in ninth grade, so I didn't enjoy my first year all that much).

Answer 4

High school is quite a roller coaster. Ninth grade is always the hardest. Your the new class in ninth grade. Tenth grade gets better, because you know your school a little more. And I understand that you want to get good grades, because tenth and eleventh grade matters the most in terms of getting into a good universety. But at the same time, you just wanna have fun! Well, I think to enjoy yourself, you need to be a good student. Maybe come home after school, go straight to your homework. Do that for a couple hours. Then, at night, good out with your friends and enjoy yourself. Come home around ten, take a shower, and go to bed. That way, your well rested for the next day, you've finished your homework and you've had fun. Remeber, do your homework first. Then you won't feel worried about coming hmoe so early when your out with your friends!

High school is the best part about being a teenager! Savor every minute! Good luck!
