high school is not that bad. many of your friends are going to split up and what not but you will make more friends. in my high school experience, most of the people i encountered were usually nice. the teachers are not great but are friendly. movies tend to overexaggerate high school a bit.

haha i am a freshman right now and let me tell you, high school is a BLAST.
the main difference between jr. high and high school is that in high school, you like school over home. in jr. high, you like home over school. this is mainly because jr. high tends to be boring and overloaded with drama, with very little homework which makes home a nice experience. on the other hand, high school is filled with fun, friends, and learning. but the real suffering starts when you go home and tackle the pile of homework.
if you are the studying type, pursue that and know that it’s a whole lot harder in high school. you may start out acing everything because it’s your first time, but it might get overwhelming after a while and you may start to get sidetracked (2nd sem fres-soph year).
if you are the extracurricular/easygoing type, pursue that and have fun with it! it’s definitely not about competition, but more about what you learn from it.
so some good survival tips:
-balance yourself out, don’t overload with honors classes if you’re 1)not up to the chalange or 2) not used to late nights studying.
-DON’T PROCRASTINATE!! that’s probably the best advice i can give you. even with all AP/honors classes, if you start your homework/projects/essays early, you will be getting a nice 8 hours of sleep every night. if you don’t.. well.. let’s just say, you’ll probably be staying at your current height .
-pay attention in class, take notes. you’ll learn that every class is of the utmost importance in high school unlike jr. high. be attentive!
-which leads to, this: DON’T BE ABSENT unless you’re puking blood.. no just kidding. but seriously, absence from class will have pretty big consequences. once you’re behind, it’s REALLY hard to catch up.
wish you the best of luck next year, and just remember to HAVE FUN! don’t go killing yourself.
