  1. Um yeah, watch yourself, you'll be exposed to VERY different things..


  2. um... wow. Don't be surprised by the language or making out that you see and hear. Don't look shocked or anything, just ignore them. Join a sport or something and try to make some friends from there, you could try tennis, there's normally a few "good girls" in tennis... not trying to jusge you!

  3. Don't get caught up in all the teenage drama.

  4. don't get in the way

    don't make yourself seem sluty (since your from a cathloic school((not judging you)) but i doubt you'll have that problem

    don't stand in the middle of the hallway, it gets really annoying

    don't try to become friends with seniors, if they like you, they'll talk to you

    i probably scared you but...i have good new too

    don't get caught up in the drama if you can avoid it do so! trust me been there done that!

    don't be worried about getting lost after a couple days you'll know exactly where your going (i still forget where im going sometime)

  5. have fun

    keep up with your work

    make as many friends as possible (not saying you have to but its always good to have a friend from different groups)

    dont just stop in the middle of the hall between classes thats annoying.

    but honestly hun just have fun and soak it ALL in. i feel like yesterday was my first day of freshman year and now i'm gunna be a junior. even if you hate school it does go by wayyy to fast once your in high school. and your gunna miss it. plus freshman year was my favorite year!

  6. Don't get in the fing way of people, like don't stand in the middle of the hall or on the stairs.  Show respect to the upper classmen, like today a freshmen held the door for me when i was walking out of the bathroom, now THAT is respect!

    And don't do drugs...

    -Don't get too upset when you are hurt by someone. They're never worth it.

    -Keep Germ-X in your purse or locker for when you touch unknown substances under the desks.

    -Make extra copies of your schedule.

    -Keep a journal. You will like to look back later on what you thought when you were younger.

    -Don't let anyone pressure you to do something you don't want to.
