I'm going into gr.10, so I have recently experienced my first year, here's my advice:
-Grade nine is full of changes, don't be surprised if at the end of the year you have a whole new group of friends, but never be a bitch to your old friends, they helped you to grow up, and they made you who you are, make sure you hang out with them sometimes (unless of course you ditched them because they are bad influences )
-Do your schoolwork to the best of your abilities, you may think grade 9 doesn't matter, but it does! What you don't do now will come back and bite you in the a$$ later.
-Join teams or clubs, you will meet so many new people that share your interests, and you will make tons of new friends, and if you are shy, teams/clubs should help you to come out of your shell (it helped me, my shell is GONE with the wind )
-Don't be afraid to sit at tables away from your elementary (or middle school, I don't know, I don't have middle school where I live) friends at lunch, they want to make new friends just as much as you.
-Talk to people, don't be shy, if they are mean to you, well then it's their loss, don't lose sleep over it (not really in my own experienes, but there are bullies or peole that think they are better than the world, ignore them)
-Whatever you do, do NOT become one of those people who think they are better than the world, everyone hates them, they are universally known as bitches, you would be surprised how fast things travel
-Go to dances, and don't be a wall flower, they may be a bit more uhm...slutty than middle school dances, but they are fun, so get you a$$ in there and dance dammit! (P.S. don't make out with anyone at the dances if you are going to regret it, everyone will know by lunch the next day guaranteed, and you are a slut for life if people here more than one name)
-Lend money to people at lunch if they ask for it, someday you will need money as well, and is it's les than 5$, forget about it, you won;t get payed back
-Don't let people use you
-Avoid the druggies, you can get sucked in easily
-Go to parties, just don;t do anything stupid
-(for girls) Don't act like a stupid boy crazy little freak, talk to guys as normally as you would talk to girls, if you giggle and act all weird and crap like that, it is likely you will be labelled as annoying..and you will be avoided by any normal guys
-Most of all, have fun! High school is the last of your required education, next you will be moving across the country to go to school, away from all of the people you grew up with, enjoy your last few years at home, in your town, you'll miss it when you're gone!
