Back to School Tips for Freshmen

These are some tips that may help you the first day of high school or even middle school. 1 Be nice don't be that guy who is making all the crude comments in the back of the class room. 2 Stick in a group of friends from your middle school because people will most likely look not bother you if you have a bunch of other freshmen friends with you or if you are not going to a public high school it may be a bit different on what you have to do. Normally these school have orientation for new kids try and make friends their. 3 Don't be annoying one thing sophomores juniors and seniors and even other freshmen hate is that annoying loud mouthed kid in the back of the room. 4 You probably will be hazed ever school has there own way of hazing new kids but the best way to survive it is just to go through it.

Disclaimer this is my opinion and what got me through the beginning of the year if you don't think its good then don't post other wise feel free to post your tips down bellow.

Nah, I wouldn't close it. It's related to it sure, but it's not the same thing.

O ok because I still think something like this is useful I am going to try to in the month of August release more of these to help new kids before the start of high school.

Ignore Bullies and People that bother you. Fighting in my school happens daily and I just don't understand. Ignore, don't beat up.

Word, you don't know how many fights have been avoided ever since I did that. Me, on the exterior I seem like a normal teen, but on the inside, mess with me and I will go all ghetto on people, (if they get me to like level 3-4 mad), level 1-2 I'll just get pissed.

Good 2 see that they fixed ur account!

I avoid fighting and people who tend to get into fights, and I have so many less problems then anyone else.

@ClaassenTech Yep, just got an email from Kevin that everything is back to normal.

Sticking up for others in a non violent way can help too. Being there in a more supportive manor encourages others to stick up for you. Bullies usually back off when their target has a few friends standing next to them. Don't let what they say or do bother you their way of doing things will only get the fired from their jobs and or thrown in jail if they continue with it.

Chill, just don't try to be a martyr though. Standing up for your rights is fine, but don't do that for EVERYTHING. Being a rebel is good and all but you know, moderation homie.

Very true. I spent my teen and young years in the Dallas area and we had to be conscious of safety. What ever you can do that gets you liked or respected can be a big help.

3	Make friends that are in higher grades than u. This really helps! answered Jul 18 '12 at 15:20 ClaassenTech 1.1k●35●43●61 Totally agree but like I said make friends with freshmen too because in the end when your a senior you really want some senior friends. (Jul 18 '12 at 17:01) bobpopo23

Another one to put on that list is don't bring overkill school supplies. Sure you're in high school you'll be doing more work, I'm a junior myself, but you don't need to bring a binder (usually), ruler, your laptop, scissors, etc the first day. Wait it out a bit and you'll see what you need. Me personally, I usually take folders, pens, pencils the first day.

Totally agree but actually at my school it is required to be a bit over kill.... You have to have a laptop the reason is because 80% of my classes I am either writing or working online and the school has too many students to get a whole bunch of computer labs.

(Jul 18 '12 at 17:00) bobpopo23

No no, I meant the first day. You can bring it after a week or so but the first day, chill. You don't know what you'll be doing, lol. My school is the same with all the students working in the computers, that's why I bought and bring my ThinkPad or my Dell to school instead of something more expensive like my MacBook which is only for Music Production or Film editing.

0	Being a freshmen at my high school sucks; they're even required to show up one hour and twenty minutes before the upperclassmen. I'm glad to be a senior this upcoming school year! answered Jul 19 '12 at 01:36 TheAnnoyingLife 341●6●14●16
