I'm going to high school?

Question

I'm in the ninth grade and i'm going to high school. I'm very scared, i mean i don't want to wear, or how to fit in, and who to be friends with. I have also i heard theres and lot of pressure and is very hard. So i need some advice.

Answer 1

just be yourself.

you probably here a lot of stuff about highschool that seems so terrible but its really not that bad.

wear what you like and be friends with who you want.

highschool can be the best years of your life. just dont care what people think of you, you'll be fine!

Answer 2

dont be the jerk at school to be liked. the ticker isnt fear. its respect. be sociable, be liked.

Answer 3

Relax!  You're going to have people you know from middle school going into the exact same situation as you.  There's a whole class of freshmen every year that have no idea what they're supposed to be doing.  It'll be fine.

It's true though.  High school actually counts for that whole college and after I graduate situation.  Freshman year isn't too terrible, once you figure out how to balance the classes and to handle the homework situation.

There's actually a lot more freedom, and high school is definitely better than middle school.  You have a lot to look forward to this coming year, and you'll grow out of that freshman thing.  :)  There are no special rules for who to be and what to do in any social situation.  Try to be yourself, and figure out who that might be.  Good friends will accept whoever you are, and keep you in a direction that you want to be going.  Peer pressure sucks, but it's not always bad.  Keeping calm about the whole thing will do you more good than any fashion advice.

Answer 4

I went to high school for the first time last year. And it wasnt NEARLY as bad as people play it out to be. As far as clothing goes, you dont always have to have the newest or most "in" things. Especially if you dont have the attitude to go with it, people will just call you a poser. Check out stores like Rue 21, Abercrombie and Fitch, or Hollister. As soon as you enter high school, you are kind of categorized in a clique. Preppy, skater, goth, artsy, ROTC, ect. I had friends from A LOT of different cliques, cause I thought the whole thing was really stupid. But figure out where your interests lie.....then hang out with the people that share your interests. And whatever you do, DO NOT TAKE DRUGS!!!! Omg I know so many people who have had to repeat grades or ended up doing something really stupid and going to jail. Its not worth it and dont be convinced that its the only way to be cool. Thats just Bull c**p !! Just be yourself. Your bound to find people a lot like you. And dont strive after the ehole popularity thing. It lasts a few years in high school and then doesnt matter. Get good grades....hang out with people like you...and dont be afraid to be yourself :)

Answer 5

Just be outgoing and people will like you for who you are. Whoever doesn't usually is a person that doesn't have any friends.

Answer 6

what u heard was wrong and false. there is not alot of pressure at all. just find matching cloths that look good. and not some stupid power ranger cloths or cloths of any cartoon or tv shows. south park and the simpsons or family guy is ok cloths to wear.  i grad from high school in 02 and i remember things. another advice is if someone says do this and you will be cool and if u know its stupid dont do it.
