i thought it was scary last year, but it's really not. people in high school are much nicer and more mature than people in middle school..it was a lot better for me. all grades are friends with everyone..it's like just one big group.

don't be too scared, once you start you'll be fine.

no, justin..our school is closer than others, yes, but you can be intergrade friends.

i mean sure, some people tease you but it's all in fun..people will only bully you if you are outright annoying and immature. don't make it apparent you're a freshie and you'll have no problems. a lot of people thought i was a soph or junior last year just cause i didn't act like a little kid.

and yea, dooooon't procrastinate. your freshman year is likely to be your hardest. if there's a binder, you put those papers in. don't think you'll do it when the teacher says it's gonna be due in two days. that won't work. keep your binders up. do all of your homework. missing even one assignment can be the difference between a B and a C.

ehh. social dynamics are different at small schools and large schools.

like, at really really big schools, there are too many people for distinct cliks to be maintianed.

in my medium sized schools (1700 people), cliks are somewhat distinct, and the dynamics are different too. also, the general population that the school draws from (rocket scientists, no joke) also makes a difference. all these things result into a high school where if a few people like to mess around with the freshies, but other people just want the freshies to get out of the way. it leads to interesting freshie culture where the freshies are somewhat afraid of upperclassmen, they're made to do more in teams and such, but most upperclassmen simply ignore them.

that is, unless attention is drawn.

simply put; each school is generally a bit different on how they treat the freshies.
