Answer 1

1. HAVE FUN!!!!

2. You are going into a new school just get to know people through classes maybe pick a different partner to be with in partner activities. That is how i met one of my girlfriends. There was noone left and the teacher said we were together and we got along really good.

Freshman year was alot of fun for me i was not old and i was not young i was right in the middle. You will have fun. Just keep up the grades and do stay out of drama.

And again just have fun!!!

Answer 2

People don't go through high school in very different ways. First of all, the academic program will hurt you if you were lacking in middle school. This won't be a problem if you step it up though. For friends, I guarantee everyone else is just as worried. When I entered high school, I was really shy but somehow my shyness is what drew me to my good friends as of now. You will be who you are, and there are other people like you and thats what matters. Have fun in high school and try not to worry too much about ur social life because you will see that everything will start fitting into place in about three or months. Most of all, don't get upset if you don't have "good" friends for a while, they will come, but it takes time cuz they are shy too. :) Good luck!

BE YOURSELF...i know that's the hardest advice to accept from people..cuz how can you be anyone but yourself...easy, don't do things your uncomfortable with, never lie about yourself to make yourself more appealing to other people as Dr Seuss said 'Be who you are, say how you feel, because those who mind, dont matter and those who matter, don't mind.'

FRIENDS...i went through the same thing...we had a very large group of friends when i was in ms...we mostly drifted apart in hs..but find a few that you're closer to than the rest..these relationships will usually last...don't be afraid to make new friends though...i have two completely different "groups" of friends..they're totally opposite..but i act the same with both and its just fine

RESPECT....your upperclassmen...speaking as a recent grad...i hated snotty little freshman...also you were just in 8th grade..the top of your school in middle school...what did you think of the 6th graders? that's basically what seniors think of you

Answer 4

You're still awake? Actually you said you are nervous so I get why you are here. Tomorrow. Dang man. Anyway I'm gonna be a freshman too (but in three weeks) but I'm guessing the advice given to 6th graders is more or less the same for freshmeat.

Stay calm. Be yourself. Don't be a *****. You know, all the basics. Getting new friends now I'm horrible at that. I normally don't talk to anyone for the first 2 weeks. Even if I am going to the same school. (I moved alot. It's damaging man) But I guess you could talk to the people that sit near you in your classes. Unless you have the unpleasent experience of getting to pick your own seats. (It's horrible when you have no one to sit next to and no one wants to sit near you.) Um don't act as a "obivious freshman." Meaning don't be all S****y trying to get upperclassmen to notice you, don't act out of character to get upperclasswomen to be your friends, don't be outrageously annoying.

This is like the blind leading the blind. I hope some of this helped though. Good luck and get some sleep! (It's like midnight on the east coast, might still be around 9 where you live)

Answer 5

I'm not shy i'm actually very outgoing but when i started high school i was going through some things and wasn't even tryna talk to people just focusing on my work i went to 2 schools doing my freshman year the first one i had about 20 friends most of them i met on the 2nd day of school and the next school i had about 10 but could have had more but i was pissed off i had to deal  with a foot of snow, a new school, and me walking in class a half a hour late with all black and boots didnt look that friendly not to mention my hair was down but i didn't have time to go to the shop and my bangs were at my nose and my hair was covering my eyes. i know im boing you but my point is you can go as yourself or as a pissed off ninth grader and still make alot of friends if you're lucky you might see kids that went to your middle school if not there are a lot of teens that feel the same way and will love to have a new friend.
