Im not gunna lie HS sucks for everyone, but youre going to find that group of friends youre gunna stick with for the rest of the year. :) No one in HS ever ends up completely alone. You just have to be open minded and talk with people like complement them ask them what classes theyre in, what MS theyre from, they usually have an orientation type thing for freshman. If you do thats a perfect time to start talking to people and dont be afraid to ask for their numbers when yall start talking, they want to be friends as much as you do. :) If you see someone whos sitting alone ask them if you can sit with them. Or if you see someone who doesnt know where to sit tell them they can sit with you, just dont let fear get in your way :)
Sorry about the late reply my brother needed the laptop (we share it) The orientation is usually right before school starts your parents might know it by now ^-^ and no problem Good Luck!

nope, we got this package filled of teams and things like that, and just random letter but it doesnt say when the orientation is..
Yeah but the school might send an email to notify them, thats if they have an orientation they usually do though for 1st years it depends, not all schools are the same. Another way you can meet peeps b4 school starts is if you have a twitter or facebook or even a tumblr and follow alot of people going to your school and try talking to them on there. Dont worry to much getting your HS life together doesnt happen all at once it takes time :)

awe thanks so much, any tips or cautions, i know that the grades above me will hate me just because im a freshman, and that senior boys are plain trouble and yeah..
The cute athletic type that are always in a group are usually jerks especially if they are in older grades. And the older guys do go after the younger girls, theyre easier to get so watch out, also dressing nice the first few weeks is ok but youll soon find out no ones gunna give a crap about what they wear everyday, there are girls walking around tennis, jeans, baggy tshirts and their hair tied, dont worry to much about how you look. In high school people are more concerned about getting the year over with than anything. Also avoid talking about anyone on social networks at least dont use their name because someone can and will tell that person and it just starts all kinds of unneeded drama. If your grades are low your teachers usually have extra credit things. And think about joining a club or sport its a great way to make friends, get extra cred and just keeps your life a little less boring :) Also there are going to be school games and pep rallies you and your friends (even fam) should go together its another way of meeting people and hanging out, they are really fun. And the older kids wont hate you, just stay out of their way at first if you dont know them as the year progresses theyll get used to you :) The teachers in HS are more fun then they are in MS. You should also take notes on class stuff if you dont do it already :)
Holy crap that was longer than i thought! freshman year is kinda like MS execpt the schools bigger, there are more kids and everyones just trying to figure out what theyre doing with themselves and their lives. You do you, theyll do them ;) Also if you go to partys stay away from drugs and alcohol, you dont need to do that to impress anyone. You dont want to impress those types of peeps :) Hope i helped a little!
