highschool butterflies

[N3RD]

I'm in grade seven and I'm worrying about highschool already. I heard the grade eights talking about highschool and stuff and they will be graduating next week. I am so nervous for some reason even thought I have to wait another year of homework and studying and then comes the big thing. High school... I don't understand. I mean, I had a good year, some problems here and there, I bet I could make it through next year but its just that one thing. High school. I don't think I will be in the same high school as my friends...

 

What can I do to freak out less?

[ImTheOneThatFalls]

Right.....

 

Uhm I'm graduating next week. From 8th that is.

For me, High School turned out to be a vastly better experience than Middle School, but I suppose it varies from individual to individual, given different factors.

Sure, there's more work in highschool, but I find the curriculum much on the same level, unless of course you choose to take honors or advanced classes.

As for friends, I fell out with 3 out of the 6 I had in middle school, in high school, and I certainly don't regret it. Besides, I've made 5 times as many friends, even if there aren't as close. I think You have a much bigger place to explore yourself in high school, you mature, you find yourself as a person, and you just have a good time.

 

Don't freak out, you make what you want of it. If you go into it thinking it will be hell, then it will be. Keep an open mind, that's the most important part.

High School will be the best years of your life.

 

Don't worry about it.

I never really ever liked school that much.. But my freshman year was fucking awesome, despite all the shit going on outside school. I took harder classes and was stressed out all the time.. but I had alot of friends in my classes who were awesome.. Unless the remaing years of high school take a turn for the worse, these will be the best years of my educational life.

 

Don't worry about the whole friend thing.. I made all my new friends while still in middle school, and most of them I am still friends with today.. The only problem is, if you have a big class, then you might not have classes with your friends, but that didn't stop the relationships I still have with my friends who weren't in any of my classes. Plus you will meet alot of new people anyway.

 

Basically, don't stress you will soon find out there is nothing to worry about.

Don't freak out. You can't change anything. You are who you are and you're going to highschool. If you like Middle School, then you'll probably find High School much better. If you hate Middle School, then you'll find High School to be a hell of a lot different and better, and you'll find out people who were picks to you are a lot nicer and more mature. I just graduated from High School, and looking back, Middle School blew and High School was better. Besides, you get your drivers license in High School. Also, don't even worry about Middle School. It really doesn't account for jack shit when it comes to College and basically your future. Just don't fuck up in High School (academic wise), it will screw you from going to college. Also, don't believe your parents if they tell you you need to do well in Middle School, because you don't. Also, take the hardest classes you feel you can do well in. It really will benefit you in the long run (colleges love Advance Placement and Honor Classes). Try and keep away from classes such as Auto Tech and really any other technical class. They may be fun, but they don't help you out at all.

Don't worry about it.

 

I edited your quote to make it more true.

my eldest daughter goes to high school in september, shes 11 and not worried in the slightest, i on the other hand are scared to death, my little girl is going to have to go to school all on her own.

 

when i started high school i was terrified, after the first week i knew there was nothing to worry about, infact it was so much better than i thought it would be.

 

i know its hard not to worry but when you get there you will see its nothing to worry about. its more scary when your own kids start high school.

[acdcrules04]

Just make sure you have kickass friends and there is nothing to sorry about. :]

whoa, well it has to be harder when you're eleven. I can't imagine. I went when I was almost 15

[Shadowed Heart]

Don't be scared, highschool will be so fun. I've only just finished grade seven too, but I'm excited, as long as you have some good friends to keep you sane. You won't need to be rich and popular to enjoy it unless you're a bigheaded, self pittying, loser with no friends.

[mundo119]

look person, u wont have to worry about high school. all those things you've heard or seen in movies and shows and stuff doesnt show how high school really is. im in 10th going to 11th grade and may I tell you, these last years have been the best of my life. Just remember to have fun and not to be too serious about school, otherwise your experience wont be the same. also, enjoy ur last year in middle school but just remember, high school will be MUCH MUCH better

Amen.

Oh, and hope your HS has good food. I got lucky, we have excellent food, but it's SO damn bad for you XD

[Hyper]

ya i'm allowed to go off campus, so food isn't an issue lol.

 

i'll be a senior in highschool when school starts up again in july. and the past three years were fine. no problems that you should be afraid of. it's highschool.. not military training camp. you'll be fine.

[Audio.]

Yeah, iam getting that feeling too but just look at the fun part of things and ull feel much better. Like me, I have something to look forward too, i.e Iam going to be in the school band aka worship team, drumer and so thats what i look forward too and thats what mostly my hole highschool years are probly going to be around.

[Jordan Chenier]

im going into my 3rd year of high school. I love it. High School is the best don't worry about it. Its fun.

[LPpinkfreak821]

I tell you this right now... I'm going into 11th & it's so much better then middle school. Just act yourself & go in comfortable and confident. Everything will be fine. I was like so freaked out and scared before I went into 9th grade & everything turned out fine. I loved it. A lot of highschools tend to be less strict then middle school. The teachers are nicer & more laid back [most of the time]. It's not the complete hell hole torture that movies make it out to be... It can be fun if you let your gaurd down & just go with it. Dont worry about a thing.

[fallenangel]

one of my sisters is in seventh grade and she is worried about the same thing. I told her to do her best in the grade she is now and try not to rush things. Just develop good study habits early on and high school will be a breeze. i'm a junior know so i know what your feeling. it was worse for me b/c i moved from Jersey to TN and had to go to a public school for the first time. I was homeschooled since the 2nd grade.

[Stenners]

I just left the education system all together, multiply ur feeling by 2 then square it and then u get what I got lol.

 

Remember everyone is going threw the samething at ur age so just remember that and it should make it more comfortable for u.

[linkinpark-1]

Highschool is great...more freedom and it's really where you can start over...well...change into something you want to be.

 

I like it so much more then middle school. You just have to have fun with it...don't take it to seriously...just do you homework and relax and do what you want to do.

[FireHawk]

personally i this high school is great (compared to all other school) you get to meet so many peple and really High School only sucks if you have a sucky schedule because when i was a freshman i use to have four 90 minute classes (never have homework) and last year as a sophmore i had seven 52 minute classes some but not a whole bunch of home work....but now as a junior this coming year there trying to stuff 8 classes down are throat....

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

Highschool is going to suck for me. I live in a podunk hick town... the high school is just as big as the middle school and they're actually right next to each other... and they still give you paddlings! What the fuck!

 

I go to highschool August 7th. I have nine classes also... well 7 periods, but 2 of the periods are split for some reason.

 

I want to move back to Florida so I can go back to my sisters highschool. (It's freaking huge with like 3000 students.)
