Im really scared and a little nervous to almost go into high school.?

sure theres drama. but it’s not dumb stuff like “omg sarah is going out with james!” people don’t care about who’s dating who past middle school. it’s really fun. theres nothing to be scared about. just go with the flow and be yourself. besides, i thought 9th grade was way more fun than 8th grade. nothing was bad about 8th grade of course, its just that so much happens in high school that it’s great!

When I went from the 8th grade into high school I felt hardly any difference. The only thing that changes is more freedom over your schedule, alot more people to become friends with, exams (some schools have these only in the high school and others in middle school up), and sometimes a lot more homework given in one day. Like the other person said, there isn’t much to worry about when you enter into the high school. The place where you will see the biggest difference is high school to college and that is only because all responsibility is on you and only you. All in all, everything you encounter now and the next 5 years is just to prepare you for the adult life.

As the above also said…the opposite gender can wait. personally I waited until my senior year to have a boyfriend and that lasted 1.5 years. Put all effort into your school work!!! You will also notice that chances are the “popular” people from 6-8th grade will become average and not think so much of themselves as they used to and that is most likely because they went from the oldest class in the school to “fresh meat.”

“… alll the teachers say that the teachers at high school dont care and that i will be offered alot of drugs and things like that …” Are you sure your teachers said that or is it a false memory that you made up yourself? Stop worrying! School will be school and there will be homework you might misplace or forget to do but be confident that you can handle it and keep up with your work. I, myself am going to high school next year too. I’m sure there aren’t any drug dealers around and if there are, as long as you involve yourself with the right people socially and make the right choices in life, you’ll be fine. Good Stores to shop for back to school? Go where you always have. I just go to staples. Good luck. Make sure you get a lot of looseleaf and try not to worry too much about high school, especially since it isn’t even summer yet! :p

Take it easy and focus on the school work. I just got out, and believe me, you’re better off letting the society float around you and being able to have your pick of colleges afterward.

It’s really not as bad as it’s made out to be. Actually, at least where I’m from, it was much less clique-y and people became more accepting. Part of it is that you’re coming from being top dog back down to the bottom, so you have to adjust anyway. Another thing, in my case, was that there are three junior highs but only one high school, so all the social pecking orders got mixed up beyond repair.

I really only have one tip.

DO NOT DATE.

Just believe me when I say that high school kids are NOT mature enough to handle anything more than friendship. It’s an unneeded distraction and really will only make you unhappy. Several of my very close friends dated all through school, and they ALL agree that they wish they hadn’t. That’s what college is for.

well it’s up to you and your friends. if you guys don’t want the drama then you shouldn’t start the drama. but high school really isn’t bad though so don’t worry. all the drama situations just depend on what you and your friends decide to do and say.

so is everyone ELSE, even if they pretend that they’re not nervous. yes, there will be more drama, that’s just life everywhere you go, but you will have more friends and more fun. advice is to not let petty stuff get in the way of the important stuff that matters, you getting good grades and being involved, finding true friends, get rid of fake friends.

Yes. Much more drama. But the thing is, you grow up and in the next year you will become emotionally equpped to deal with the stresses of high school. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Just think its that much closer to when you get out of that hellhole.

high school is all about DRAMA. the easiest thing to do is just to avoid that if you possibly can. it just makes life more difficult, especially if you go to a smaller school.

however, you have to look on the bright side! high school can be really great. you don’t need to be popular to have a good time. if you have a group of friends that you really love, just appreciate them and have fun with them. chances are, you won’t be friends after high school, so you need to appreciate them while you can.

also, don’t worry so much about school. pass your classes, of course, but don’t stress to the breaking point. it can get tough, and you might need to buckle down sometimes to get the work done, but it’s not going to follow you your whole life. high school is just a blip in the timeline of your life. have as much fun as you can, and don’t worry about getting straight A’s.

high school is a great time. you just have to not worry about the people around you… you don’t have to be smartest, most popular, most beautiful… i had one boyfriend most of high school, and a select group of good friends, and i had the time of my life! i was NOT popular, and drama kind of followed me, but i learned to ignore it.

good luck. the next few years are going to be awesome!

The only drama you will get is if you do something stupid like when your falling for the hot dude butt you get jealous cuz the other women is coming onto him and u accidently blurt out the wrong thing like shes a slut.

too much drama! well it also depends who you hang out with! =]
