I loved middle school, but i dont want to make the same mistakes i did there in highschool, help pls?

Question

i finished middle school a month ago. and highschool starts in 33 days.

anyway, i loved middle school. in grade 6.. i had awesome friends. in gr.7 i made new ones and lost too many old ones. in gr.8 i basically had to get new friends because i'v been labled as a "s**t" or a "hoe" or just a "flirt".

it was soo hard knowing people thought of me as one of those because im such a good friend and nice person if you get to know me. so my biggest mistake was going out with so many guys and not trying in class.

this year.. not many people from middle school are going to the same highschool as me and im soo nervous because it feels as though im starting all over.

any suggestions on what i should do to fit in.. and make me seem kind??

thanks!

Answer 1

greetings, I here what U R saying'' Listen people often lable people for several reasons, jelousy' envey or they R un-happy in their own lives''

  I would concentrate more on school and not worrie so much about fitting in' U have alot to learn.. most of these people calling these names will be out of YR life by the end of high school. In life being excepted isn't so important as U think'' but being liked for being YR-self is,, Don't comprimise the things that R important and U beleive in.

  If U start now U will loose the great person U R, Concentrate on the future,, being different is what makes all of us unique  in light & love

Answer 2

Don't try too hard or not try at all most people can tell a groupie or a follower just be yourself basically

Answer 3

well since a lot of people arent going to your high school you could change. change is good. dont be afraid of it, and for the guy thing find a good guy that you really like and dont make it just a week of dating make your relationships last and start paying attention to your school make school you first priority then dating

hope i helped

Answer 4

people seem to forget about what happened in middle school in a month when starting high school. people wont care anymore abouth your mistakes in middle skool. if you do change your act in high school, the'll completely forget. if i were you, i would take the time to find out more about the people i go out with. if you do it smartly, then you'll find mr. perfect. also, just to try to be yourself, a bunch of middle skool kids forget this and try to act like the main S**t in high school, this is where everyone in high skool loses respect for freshmen. but overall, i think you'll have fun in your freshmen year. trust me, i have.

Answer 5

You can only be who you are.  Do what you think is best and you will be fine.

Answer 6

just make a FEW close friends

stay away from the popular bi*t*ches

and concentrate

high school is awesome

i would know im still in it :]

if ppl start rumors ignore em

they will eventually shut up

*trust me on that one*

OH and dont try to fit in with just one group of ppl

try to fit in with everyone in your classes

that way ur friends with everyone

and if a group fails

then you move on

:]

good luck

Answer 13

Well I'd hate to get in the way of you patting yourself on the back. There are SOOO many things wrong with how you acted...

Number one: Be a great friend! They are hard to come by. Boys will come and go.

Two: Study!!!  That will get you farther in life that any man can get you.

Three: Be picky about the guys you go out with.. There is nothing wrong with being hard to get. It makes the scum give up trying.

Four: Dont "Try" to be kind.... BE KIND!

Answer 14

Well, the positive thing is that you've identified some character flaws that you should avoid. Don't do the the things that would identify you as a hoe,flirt, whatever. Just be a student; do all your homework, don't cut classes, and choose your friends carefully. You don't have to be an A student either. Dress yourself wisely;be a little conservative. Join a club or school sport. Things will fall into place, you'll make friends with boys and girls. It's a new year, and remember, first impressions mean a lot too.

Answer 15

There is a girl with that reputation at my school as well.

She flirts with EVERY boy, and eventually it gets really annoying.

Just try not to flirt with everybody. If you're single, don't go hugging every guy in your class. Basically, all you have to do is keep your urges to flirt to a minimum.

Answer 16

Well, I am already finishing grad school so I've forgotten a lot of what it was like to be in middle / high school. But I can give you some advice, having gone through it and also seen my little sister go through it:

1) Don't lose your focus on classes and doing well. High school is SO IMPORTANT as it's your gateway into the world and, hopefully, higher education. A college education is your door to a well-paying job and the chance to meet a bunch of great friends and develop relationships.

2) Be true to your real friends. It's fun and exciting to get large circles of buddies, but know your real friends (the ones who've stuck with you the longest, have the most history, or put you first among their other friends). No matter what drama happens, if you're true to your real friends, you can count on them to be true to you. It's much more valuable than the shallow friendships that are so easy to make in H.S. and college.

3) Don't worry about what people say about you. If girls call you a 'hoe' then it's probably because you're more popular with guys than they are. It's not your fault guys like you more than they like other girls.

4) Be picky with the people you date. Don't let the jerks who want to use you have their way. Look for the smarter, more handsome, better-raised kids. Date kids with good grades and good families.

5) Make doing well in school your priority! I know it's almost impossible to do, but trust me, in college you will have even more opportunity to get distracted by popularity and relationships.

Concentrate on your classes, stick by your real friends, and don't worry too much about what people say about you. Don't be ashamed to go after the guys you like & who cares what the jealous girls say. Good luck, high school was awesome to me and I know you'll have so much fun.

So much happens & changes in high school years! It's one of the best times of your life, in my opinion.

Answer 17

its just like going to middle school from elementary school. do the same things you did in 6th grade. but have a little notepad/calander.. and make sure you do all assignments and pay attention in class.

Answer 18

you know sometimes ignoring is the best solution to let that worries off of you. so what? why will you be affected of what they'll say? you're you and some people might just be insecure to call you a s**t. but if you really want a good impression, make friends with them, if possible, all of them. so they'll know the real you. good luck on your first day.

Answer 19

How lucky are you to get to make a clean start!!

I'm not a peer, but I taught high school for 25 years, so my advice is more what I observed with my students.  High school can be a little intimidating the first few weeks.  Students get anxious about what's expected of them and finding their way around a new school, etc.  That's natural and while you might feel alone, all the other ninth graders will be experiencing the same thing.  Be friendly and smile and say hello to people.  

Keep your options open as to which groups you want to be a part of.  Don't discount people on their physical appearance alone.  Join as many clubs and organizations, sports teams, etc. as possible.  You can never have too many friends and having friends in different groups makes you a more well-rounded person.  

The first week of school, they ought to provide students with a list of clubs and organizations and sponsor's names.  If they don't, ask for one in guidance or the main office.  Make a point of introducing yourself to the sponsors and letting them know that you would like to participate and help.  Get involved in the Freshmen class.  Help with their projects, fund-raisers, float-building, etc.  You have to be willing to put yourself out there a little.  If you can do that, the rewards will be huge.  There are all kinds of studies showing that students who are involved in their schools enjoy the whole high school experience better than those who do not.  Some of my best friends even now are friends I met in high school.  

Make school a priority.  I'm talking about your grades.  What you do these four years will lay the course for the rest of your life.  Hang with kids who take their school work seriously.  If you do well during these four years, then all kinds of doors will open for you in the future.  If you find that you struggle, seek help.  There's a lot of it available.  

Make the most of this opportunity for a fresh start.  Not many people get to do this.  You're one of the lucky ones!  Good luck!
