I am going to be a freshman soon, any tips or warnings?

Question

I am a little nervous yet at the same time I am ok with being a freshman. What scares me is the thought of teenage pregnancy my sister is a senior and she knew to girls in her sophomore year who got pregnant. Do the upper class man pick on us a lot. Do I have to worry about the way I look or go anorexic just to get the look. Is it normal for people my age to get sexual feelings. Please help it is weird talking about this face to face with someone.

Answer 1

I just graduated, and I can tell you that there really is no reason to be nervous about high school.

From my experience and my friends' experience, it is a lot more friendly and accepting than middle school. No one in my school ever really picked on the underclassmen, though there is a certain amount of seniority that you'll hate until you are the one with it, then you'll understand.

Do not worry about how you look to the point that you go anorexic, nobody cares that much about your appearance that they would want you to hurt yourself. The best thing to do about appearance is to wear what you like and not try to look like anyone else. The people that everyone thinks are cute are the ones who stand out because they have their own sense of style.

Of course it is normal for people your age...and younger...and older to have sexual feelings. You are growing up, it's natural. Just be careful with them. You have no reason to worry about teenage pregnancy as long as you are not having s*x. Or at least, stupid, unprotected s*x.

The best advice I can give you for high school is to work hard at your schoolwork, you'll appreciate that when you are looking at college scholarships. And just be yourself. Don't worry about what other people think of you and you will have so much fun.

Be crazy and don't grow up too fast.

High school is supposed to be fun.

Answer 2

Just be yourself..

and upper-classmen may say stuff to you or other freshmen

but that is because they had to go thru the same things yall are about to go thru...

but forget all that

MAKE SURE YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!

LOL

Answer 4

Well, teenage pregnancy is one hundred percent preventable, so if you are not sexually active then you don't have to worry about it. If you are having s*x, use birth control. Easy.

No, upper classsmen don't pick on freshmen. Most don't even notice you and find freshman somewhat annoying.

No, you don't have to worry about the way you look. Most people DO worry about how they look but of course you don't HAVE to. Please, don't become anorexic... everyone will figure it out and gossip about you and it'll be horrible.

Finally, it is perfectly normal to have sexual feelings at your age. It's called puberty. Just don't go crazy and start having s*x with everyone you meet, OK?
