High school starts tomorrow

[Amnesiac]

And I'm appropriately excited. I've had plenty 10th graders tell me about how great high school is compared to middle school, which sucked hard. Liberation from uniform, lockers and over 9000 textbooks to haul to school is a welcome change.

I can't help being afraid of Geometry, though. Math wasn't kind to me last year, I missed the Straight A's For Three Years In A Row award because I got an 89 (AN EIGHTY NINE) in algebra for one semester. I bet with enough studying I'll get by fine though... :headache:

I'm looking forward to debate and theater though, which I've heard are both fun classes.

Since most people in the US are going back to school this week (as far as I know), I'm sure you guys have some worries (or not)?

[Scooby Dooby Drew]

FFFF
I have a feeling High School's either gonna be awesome or suck
...
probably the latter....

I took Geometry in 8th grade (cause I'm so brilliant xD)
This year I'm taking Algebra II
And pretty much all my classes are Pre-AP
....
And I'm in Marching Band
....
AND JAZZ BAND
AND SPANISH
AND CHINESE

YEAH THIS IS GONNA SUCK ;_;

You don't give a reason why it's gonna suck, don't be so pessimistic :P

[Jess]

good luck and have fun ^_^

you won't enjoy high school after 10th grade, believe me....

I'm sorry, I meanst because I was taking a bunch of hig level classes, 2 languages, and marching band, which takes 2 hours of practice every day
So, I have a really busy schedule
...which I hate

oh wow, that does suck :P

I'm sure you'll do fine, just relax.

[AutumnDae]

Geometry was the easiest math to me. It made sense, maybe because I could actually see the shit instead of just having to think about it.

High school isn't all that bad. At least not here, but I don't really know where you live.

Don't try to be awesome. Please.

[Underground_Network]

High school makes you sleepy.

My GPA has gone from way above a 4.0 to just below it.

High school gets harder as you go, be prepared to improve your work ethic or you'll end up like me. :sleep:

[Perseus]

High School is so much better than Middle School; well, at least where I live.

[DarkHorses]

1.) I would kill for an 89% in Algebra.
2.) Good luck in high school. :P

[Rutherford The Brave]

You got to watch out for people like me a big bad SENIOR! :P

[Suicune]

Well I start my last year of Middle School this year...High School can't be too different. I mean, more egotistical people to deal with...and they can drive. O_O'

[justalovestruckteen]

My high school starts in two weeks,
but orientation is on Thursday,


I know how you feel, I am excited!

but I am also sad,I am leaving my jr high school and a close friend

[Scooby Dooby Drew]

oh wow, that does suck :P

I'm sure you'll do fine, just relax.

And I'm only half-way done with a project I was supposed to be doing all summer.....
Yeah, that work ethic thing is what I need to work on.....

[deadpie]

I've got seven and a half classes to finish by December. Yeah, just a little bit of stress, but nothing big.

I'll see how geometry goes, and I'm not attempting anything awesome :P

I'm surprised nobody else mentioned how an 89 isn't actually that bad :D

Not all of us can drive...

The ones at my High School can.
They're all like hicks too. >_> Confederate flags tied to their trucks. -_-

[Perseus]

[Wonder.]

I wasn't worried about highschool until today I remembered I flipped off a "higher-up" highschooler. :D

I haven't even gotten my schedule yet. I still have two weeks.

[justalovestruckteen]

Well that's bad, but I'm sure you'll have a fun time in high school too.



There is a tiny possibility, that my friend might go to my high school;

I don't know, a lady from my church saw my friend there,

maybe was there to get
into the school,

I don't know,

9th and half of the 10th graders are too young to drive. And I'm sorry you live in such a terrible place :D

Well, georgia and texas are pretty similar...

educators. wish i were allowed to go to public school. but never had even when i live in canada. like being in the army where i go now. not a good place if u r not able to comply with the program.

[[[chickaroo92]]]

Three things you should ALWAYS remember:

1) Be yourself
2) Do your homework in advance
3) Pay attention

You'll be fine if you follow those three main things. Good luck :)

High school is so much better than middle school. So much more freedom... Especially from my stupid middle school that had no windows, assigned seating at lunch, and lines down the hallways telling you which way to walk. Going from that to an arts school was like :O

[Amnesiac]

So, after a very hectic and unusual first day of school, I'm back home. I must say that high school kicks ass, and is MILES better than middle school. It looks like a lot of work but I guess it'll be fun too.

[Bougainvillea]

A freshman got his ass kicked today. He was being a total dick head.

I'm so glad I don't have to go for a full day. I don't think I could stand it.

[Quick_Sylver]

Wooot for the last year of junior high for me. XD Highschool's supposed to be better, but all it is Junior high with more liberty, which seems rather dumb to me. We're there to learn, not be dumb, right?

What I don't understand about middle school is that they cut back on freedoms more than high school or elementary. There's no danger in letting kids have freedom, it would actually make the learning environment a little less stressful.

That's the thing about high school, now that I'm at the bottom of the food chain I feel so small :eek:

[Obscene Eyedeas]

twpr :arrow: education and careers

[skinny_white_boy]

i wasnt worried at all for HS. My school goes K-12th grade in the 2 buildings which are next to eachother. so we know all the teachers and stuff and we know everyone so none of that like pick on freshman thing. Its also pretty small like the graduating class was 48 and my class now is 73 so its petty small and friendly somewhat...

Up here, we have junior high(Grades 6ish-9ish) in a highschool which is basically 10-12 and its all in one building, and you get the 'small' feeling from being the on the top in grade 6 and going to the bottom of the food chain. Personally, Im homeschooled and in Canada, so cant really say anything about the US, but I find it kinda stupid to do that. Grade 7 was hell, and hence why I switched to homeschooling.

Yeah, being thrown from the top of the food chain (8th grade) to the bottom of an even bigger food chain (9th grade) is a discomforting experience. The US doesn't have as much money to spare, I guess, and squeezes 2,000 teenagers into one building.

Bahahaha. That made me laugh, Lawrence.

I find it weird that at my school all the freshman are tiny. I'm serious about this. When I was a freshman we weren't tiny like they are, except for the select few.

Oh my god! I know. They're all... little. They look like sixth graders. I mean I know I'm six feet tall, and extra manly. But still. I know when someone looks young.

And lots of them are dorks. I'm not a bully, and I'm not that popular. But I see them wearing small jean shorts, and a large t shirt that's tucked in.. And they're alone all the time. Not talking to anyone.

I bumped into one of them and I sincerely turned around and said "Hey, sorry man." And he was absolutely rude. So I told him to go fuck himself.

And guess what. He got his ass BEAT. Because his shitty attitude got the best of him.

Most people are never rude to me like that.

It's like puberty has decided to take a break. :P

[Bougainvillea]

After it slapped me in butt, yeah. I can see why. :P

Also, as I said before. Their attitude is worse. Drama on the first day. All I heard were girls screaming at each other. They just dig themselves a deeper grave. I honestly feel stupid just watching them.

I'm so glad I'm mature.

I haven't really noticed drama with freshmen at my school since I have once class that has freshmen in it. There was a "fight" on Friday in our courtyard on Friday and you could all the freshmen flocking towards it, lol. I put fight in quotes because the juniors or seniors(don't know which one) just stood and did a staredown. It was so lame; I saw the whole thing walking to my class.

[Bougainvillea]

I probably won't see many fights, because I leave after fourth period.

I remember when Cathy and I fought just to get stares. Slamming each other into the lockers, rolling on the floor while hitting each other with our elbows and screaming wildly. It was fun.

Fights usually don't happen around here. The last time I saw a fight was in elementary school, which was in Mississippi. Those were legit, though. Lol.

[Bougainvillea]

There are fights about every week.

I don't fight, I just punch people and get in trouble.

I'm tired of dramatic people. I mean, I'm dramatic but I don't publicise that shit. Freshmen scream it out to the world, and have stupid fights in the middle of the hallways, and walk around in circles going "Ohh!" I hate it. And those are usually the ones to try and fight with me. But I put them in their place.

Same goes with grown men at work.

[Joey15]

For everyone who is woried about High School its not all that bad. I dont really like school but HighSchool is one of the most enjoyable times in my life. Tip get active in your school do sports or join clubs. Have fun

I would never have though freshmen would pick fights with you, lol.

[tinkergenius]

You're "worried' across-the-board...aren't you? Like, I don't have the same fears?

Good Luck!

Let me guess, you're going to go to Marietta High. :P I would be scared to go there, too. Lol.

[starbrite5]

My school had only one fight last year, and it was reminiscent of Paige and Manny on Degrassi. They basically just pulled each other's hair and slammed into the walls. It just made the upperclassmen hate the freshmen even more, especially because it was the first fight in two years or something.

[justalovestruckteen]

My school orientation is tomorrow,
I can't wait,
I am going to see my friends again!
