I had older friends when I was a freshman so I didnt really get picked on
but I was nervous
just dont block the hallways
seniors get pissed when u do that
and DONT b a smartass jerk in class to try to b cool
Dont go around braggin aboutsex or anythin like that
and DO NOT i repeat DO NOT try to sit at upperclassmen lunch tables and try 2 b friends
U WILL get thrown on the floor
just dont act out until ur an upperclassman and that does not mean nxt yr when ur a sophomore

someone move it then talk in it

Yeah, completely wrong place for this.

Grade 12 can be hard on the nerves but here are a few pointers that helped me survive.

#1: If you get lost in the school don't look like your lost, that is how anyone running the hazing that year (if your school does that sort of thing) will spot you. If you can get it, try to find a map of your school before hand and study it so you have some idea were you are going.

#2: Like Flip said: don't have meetings or stand in the middle of the hall between classes, it's just really annoying.

#3: Keep money in the cafeteria line handy, nothing is more embarrassing then fumbling for change with 50 other hungry people behind you.

#4: Show up early, like half an hour or so, to make sure you have time for registration of what ever may happen at your school.

#5 Don't carry a dozen pencils, pens or large amounts of paper, you will quickly become the go-to person for those who forget their supplies. Two pencils, a few pens of each colour: red,blue,black and maybe a dozen sheets of paper will last you fine.

#6: Even if it's out of your way use the main entrance, normally short cuts (back alleys are lined with seniors waiting to give the grade 9's a hard time.

#7: Don't panic, a lot of the times the hazing that you hear about are exaggerations. When I started at my high school I heard stuff like "we are going to tape you to a tree and whip pine cones at you", and nothing ever happened to anyone in my grade 9 year. Well maybe a few but they probably asked for it.

Just accept the beatings from the older kids.

This is dumb.
Nobody really picks on you...atleast not at my school.
As long as you don't say shit about people, you should be fine.
I've never actually heard of freshmen getting picked on in real life.
It's going to be like every other year of school with the exception of some different people, classes, and you will probably have more homework.

But yes, this is in the wrong place.

At my school they have this thing called crowbar beating day. Its where all the seniors bring crowbars to school and they can hit any freshman they see as hard as they want. The teachers are allowed to join in the fun too.

at my school they use bats

HIGH SCHOOL IS WAY OVERRATED! there is nothing to be nervous about. a lot of people still act like kids but you'll get used to it. oh and if there is a senior prank on the last day of school dont think they wont do it cuz they will, well there was at my school. and im sure they cant think of anything clever anyway.

Freshman year was one of my bests.

its easy you just got to know people lol

Get laid before christmas break

if you dont, you're a failure

You have nothing to worry about, nothing is going to happen to you.

yeah man nothing is gonna happen to u

This topic should stay open so people could give and receive tips

ok what ever u do dont play a joke on the teachers

could it really open again?

Sanky very much. Im goin to 9th grade next year and Im not worried too much other then my brother is gunna be there...

my apologies. I just don't think there is anything to worry about. All the tips I read are more scary than helpful.

And then I saw it open again and couldn't remember whether I closed it or not.

def a-dizzle leepay was gonna shut it down

oh this is good cause its one week till 9th grade starts for me

i started like last monday and i don't rele think freshmen need advice the just need to like not listen 2 uperclassmen cuz they might trick u unless u know em like rele well other than that just ask the teachers

my freshmen year was fun parties girl and of course baseball

just relax nothing bad will happen

just worry when your a Senior and u don't have enough credits bcuz you f'ed up Freshmen year

Honestly, it's not taht bad and all these older people are going to tell you take a beating and get it over with but it's not going to happen. No one is going to hurt you and if anyone threatens you they can get in a lot of trouble.

im going to be freshman but im not worried, my sister is going there and is an upperclassman. but she is activities commissioner.
and she said she is goig to pick me to do the 'activities' at rally's.
what exactly goes on during rally's?

I think she means pep rallies. Don't worry that's just when people go crazy over their own school teams and do fun stuff. You'll have a good time.

Nothing happened to me We had freshman friday, but they never did it.
You'll be fine

Exactly.

And even if something did come up, most schools now have cameras everywhere and there's usually always a teacher or someone else around.

But I'm positive there is nothing to worry about.

i am starting 9th grade monday, but i'm not afraid bc older kids don't pick on girlz, anyways i still wouldn't be scared bc kids don't really do that at this school

ALWAYS talk trash to 12th graders

There isn't really anything that you need to worry about. Just don't be annoying. You can't help it that kids that are older think they're cool by calling you freshman, it's stupid. Just do what you would do.

Make 2 sandwiches. and bring extra pants. OOP.

Just keep cool, don't act like an idiot and things will go smooth. I never had any trouble in my 4 years of high school.

The reason I was going to shut it down is because the cool kids come in here to scare you into thinking you have something to worry about.

Yeah. I find it was helpful to bring a samurai sword to fend of the hordes of bullies.

Sophomore year is the easiest year in highschool, 9th grade can be shitty for alot of people, but after a few weeks everything should be okay. Junior year is the hardest by far and Senior year should be relaxing

Im going into grade 8, but having a grade 11 brother I would say dont try to mess with any older kids.

if you have a big brother/sister who can beat the living shit outta most kids in ur school, then i guess u'll be fine, but don't rely on him/her all the time

(i'm going into ninth grade next year)

lol my junior high was in the same halls and stuff as the sr high so i get to sit around and laugh at u guys stressing about it.
im going into 9th grade and i talk to upperclassmen all the time. it could help if u join a sport not a pussy one either one were u play with the other kids

what's a pussy sport?

vaginal exercises?

thats an example

try to make friends with as many people as possible.

If anyone gives you shit for being a freshman, punch 'em in the nuts.

im going into 9th grade also...but im 6'2 so im not that worried lol but thanks for the tips...yeah...

does ne1 wanna give me tips on how to kick a jerks butt...but not get suspended?

ok I didn't read all the advice given but here's my two cents:

-DO NOT block the hallways or doorways.
-don't block seniors lockers
-don't stand in the lunch line with your friends if you don't intend on buying anything
-don't yell across the halways to havce conversations with your friends. no one else wants to hear it
-if you wear uniforms and are a female, don't waer your kilt first day...it's and unwritten rule
-if you have no idea what is going on, or where to go, ask for help instead of walking around in circles (its better to ask for help from student government..at my school they wear something defining so people know)
-you should be more worried if you have older siblings that go there...because if they dont make it hell for you, someone that knows them will

that's all I can come up with right now



say it was self defense

Don't ask upperclassmen for directions.

It's not bad being a freshman, nothing bad happens except freshmen get booed at pep rallies (or at least at my school).

don't kick em, that just means ur a pussy, you gotta punch em
like he said ^^^^
