Tips for starting highschool?

1) Don't trust anybody. You will soon find liars, backstabbers & big mouths you wouldn't expect from your "friends"

2) Don't change your morals and who you are because you want to "fit in". Be yourself. I shortly realized after the first month of my freshmen year it didn't matter to me if I was popular or not. I don't care for popularity, all it does is gain you a lot of fake friends and attention. Me and my friends are known for could-be-popular-but-refuse-to-be also if your attractive, you get known. not to sound cocky, but thats what me & my friends are known for too (we hear things). I'm happy with my small group because I have REAL friends. Less drama. I much prefer it then going to group to group trying to make everyone like me. Oh please. -_- So have fun, enjoy your life. Don't give a crap what people say because you won't see them in 4 years. Find good friends you feel comfortable. Don't do drugs it'll ruin you.

3) Only date if you have a car and job (same goes with ur bf or gf) ike are you going to walk to the movies for your first date? Ew, what? I really think you should wait till Grade 11 or 12.

4) Don't be stupid. Don't do anything that will get you talked about in a bad way. Because rumours are not friendly to their victims. trust me. And dont listen to rumours either, most of them isnt true so dont judge people too quick.

5) Try to stay a virgin as long as possible .. You are a unicorn so treasure your virginity

6) Try to pass all your classes.. and try to do well in school. If you fail any classes, it will be hard to make up for credits. So if you do fail, i recommend you take summer school ASAP.

Highschool isn't that bad.. it's like a bigger version of elementary school. It's honestly no sweat. Just go in with a positive attitude! :)

Its really not that bad, i loved the first day so much! embrace your first couple of weeks, because the years after that.. well they are going to be a lot more intense!

make sure you make friends with the right people, not the MOST people.. thats a common mistake many make!

If your scared about older kids trying to flush your head down the toilet etc, those rumours are not true, the older kids love younger ones and are often happy to help!

ONE final tip! dont be one of those annoying little kids that runs around screaming and chasing people, it really pisses EVERYONE off.

GOOD LUCK !

I'll tell you what, the worst part is walking into the building. After that it is not so bad, you may get lost, my high school is big, and it's got two separate buildings. After the first day it's easy, and don't worry about those the upperclassmen, they won't do anything.
