Filed in Category Survival Tips

The high school i’m going to is famous for picking on freshmen, and the freshmen hunt, so how could i go around campus without getting owned by upperclassmen?

      these are tips that i’ve been giving freshmen lately…
      TIPS:
      - don’t be scared/nervous/worried… high school is not that big of a deal
      - get a map of the school so you don’t get lost… but don’t walk around the school with it in front of your face
      - don’t ask upperclassmen for help if you’re lost (ask a teacher or friend) cuz they might point you in the wrong direction
      - don’t stop in the middle of the hallways
      - join clubs/sports… trust me it’s an easy way to make friends and it looks good on college applications
      - don’t run to lunch
      - don’t be intimidated by upperclassmen
      - don’t tell your boyfriend you ‘love’ him in the same week you started dating him.
      - on the first day don’t wear you hollister shirt, hollister pants, hollister flipflops, and carrying your hollister bag… you will have freshman written all over you and don’t wear too much makeup/accesories… just wear something simple but cute :) and honestly nobody gives a crap about what you wear
      - it is possible to fall UP the stairs… lol. but if this (or something like this) does happen don’t be embarrassed… just laugh at yourself and walk away cuz its no big deal
      - please don’t be an immature freshman
      - make good grades (don’t screw it up freshman year cuz you WILL regret it)
      - don’t come to school on the first day with your huge backpack full of colored pencils, glue sticks, tissue boxes… you don’t need all that crap you’re in high school now. all you need for the first day is paper, pencils, and a folder
      - there is no pool on top of the school
      - some of the best friends you could have are the “nerds” or smart kids. they tend to be the really nice people, and if you are their friend they will help you with your school work. just because they are a “nerd” in high school doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be their friend… cuz when they grow up they will be the ones making a lot of money!!… and you will be one of the ones invited on their yacht!
      - if someone offers you an elevator pass…. don’t buy it!!!
      - don’t be the annoying kid who always cracks immature jokes in class. teachers hate that. always be nice to the teachers cuz one day when you are a senior they will help you write college reccomendation letters and you will be glad that you behaved in their class.
      - don’t decorate your locker (nobody at my school decorates them)
      - don’t start talking to random uppperclassmen like they are your best friend
      - don’t be afraid to make new friends! even with the people you thought you hated. your in high school now and people change. everyone deserves a second chance.
      - don’t talk about your UPPERCLASSMEN friends cuz you can tell someone is a freshman when they say “my SENIOR friend….. blah blah blah” it doesn’t matter what grade they are in! all of your friends are PEOPLE.
      - don’t talk about how “cool” you think you are cuz your finally in high school
      - upperclassmen have other things to worry about and they could care less about freshmen…. if people do pick on you they will most likely be sophomores: they think they have the right to pick on you cuz they’re not freshman anymore….. but i think if a sophomore picks on you that is pathetic cuz they are only a year older than you.
      - be prepared for freshman friday!!!! nahhh i’m just kidding it doesn’t exist…. and any rumors you hear are all FAKE! nothing scary happens… and high school is nothing like the movies.
      good luck :)
      class of 2010!

      hey my little brother is starting high school tomorrow to :)
      just have confidence in yourself. i was worried about the exact same thing and it turned out it was just a rumor lol. but if you know its not just a rumor try to stay with a group of friends and if you have any older friends at the school try and stay wit them to. if anyone trys to pick on you just dont listen to them and stand up for yourself. hope this helps and good luck for tomorrow :)

      walk around with confidence. i notice freshman usually because they walk around looking lost or confused. try and talk to new people, and it helps if you have friends who are upper classmen. personally i love freshman! i think they are super kool and i love to help ‘em out =D

      The biggest thing is to be yourself. When your in high school dont put on this mask. Stand up for yourself and dont do drugs and get into all of that crap.

      i started freshman today. don’t worry about upperclassmen they always say they are going to hunt you but really they don’t want to waste their time anyway so it will be fine.

      Um, no one actually picks on freshmen unless you want to start it. Walk with your head high and hang out with anyone you know.
