High School–What I Want To Know?
Favorite Answer
I was in a few after-school stuff, but I wouldn’t say as demanding as sports. Sports will suck up a lot of time, and I can’t believe many athletes take a bunch of high-level classes and still get good grades, despite the sport. They are an inspiration. I wouldn’t load yourself unless you have to. That leads me to say that you should not load your senior year. I tried senior year with no study halls. Didn’t work out well at all. I struggled with Calculus (beware, it IS hard) AB AP. My school didn’t have anything between Pre-Calculus Honors and Calculus. We just jumped right into the hard material.
High school is a lot of fun, but there will be struggles. Your friendships are bound to change. I made quite a lot of friends in high school. Of course, there was always somebody who didn’t like me without a reason why, so you’ll have to learn to ignore those people. Really, if you ‘kill people with kindness’, even the mean ones can’t do much to you. You’re going to love high school so go in with a positive attitude. College is right around the corner.
Regarding grades, just make sure you study and get your work done on time. If your school is anything like mine, then there is probably people that just go around coping other peoples assingments. If someone asks you for your work, you should only give it to them if you want to. If you say no, the chance that they’ll keep bugging you for it is failry small.
Sports can be fun, but just don’t push yourself to do too many things, because it can get to be a pain.
Friends and guys are just like they were in middle school. Some people feel the need to be in the ‘popular’ group or to have the upperclassmen acknowledge them, but trust me, that really isn’t important at all. No one looks up to them as much as some people think.
Above all, make sure to have fun and try new things. When I entered high school I made sure to try new sports and classes, till I found the things I liked. Meeting new people is also awesome and can be lots of fun. Good luck! ^_^
Pay attention in class. Take notes and get your homework and projects in on time. If you have a problem, make an appointment to get help from the teacher. Be respectful and courteous to everyone. That annoying little nerd in your class could be the next Bill Gates or Nicole Kidman.

also don’t put a lot of pressure on yourself to make new friends. remember, not everyone can be your friend. you have to find somebody who you share the same interests with! somebody you can talk to as well. just wait a wait until you find your niche and don’t be too popular until you familiarize yourself with your surroundings.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!
