It's a little more harder than 8th grade. They expect a little more out of you. They expect you to act your age and act mature. The rules are basically the same but a little more stricter. You can probably expect to be called a fish more than once, because ya'll are the baby's of the school now. Most people don't like the freshmen. But if you work hard enough you can probably make friends with most of the upperclassmen, I know from experience that they will probably try to protect you like a brother/sister would if they like you enough. And It kind of helps if your in sports because thats were you probably would meet the upperclassmen the most. But just remember not to be afraid or worried about going into a new grade. It'll be fun after a while.

(well she didnt say meaner, exactly..)

i know EXACTLY what your talking about. for every year i was in middle school and jr high (like 4 years) i lived in a different town and once 2 towns in like 1 school year. my dad got married and kept seperating and getting back together with my step mom and every time he did we moved. it was so hard, but the one thing i gained from it was i learned that now i cand handle any change like that that comes my way because i have already gotten through it. i just moved again to go to college this year, and it was easier because i have learned how to put myself out there and meet new people. plus i have all these experiences with different people and places that other people my age dont have. if it makes you feel any better i shed my share of tears too, and im not a cryer. it is normal to feel that way. good luck. email me if you need anything.

When I was still in highschool, I would get up at 6:30 and get a shower. I had to be there at 8:00 am. The first thing we did was set in homeroom for about 15 minutes while we listen to the daily announcements. Then we would go to our first period class, which I think was just a study hall for me. Then I had Japanese Cultures during my second period class. Third period I had Physical Education. Fourth was Art class. Our fifth period was another study hall because the younger kids had lunch this period and we got to go during sixth period. 7th period was when I had English class. Another study hall during eight period, I wasn't really that busy my senior year. 9th period I had Geography but nobody really took it seriously so it was more like a goof off class. Then 10th period we had health class. We left school everyday at approximately 3:15 pm. That was my typical day at school my senior year.

In 04.\nFour members of my family died within months of each other and I got stuck in an abusive relationship that ended horribly. I felt so lost. I skipped most of my junior year of high school because I didn't want to be around other people and I was angry at everyone.\nI found myself again towards the end of my senior year. I found my grandmother's cross in my bedroom and never looked back.

I dated a 6th grader while I was in 8th grade (regret it now) but I'm sure yours is different, go for it, but beware, ppl will react differently, they're not so accepting

My high school was/is a Catholic stuffy rigid academic school. We hardly did well in any sporting activity but always did well in the braniac areas. For the most part my high school was divided into 3 main sections. Students that were upper middle class that had something to prove(mainly popularity and materialistically.) Second group was the brainiacs that snubbed the popular kids with their braniac elitism. The third group were ones that were just trying to survive and not fall between the cracks of the system. We all wore uniforms and mostly from the same heritage.

Well to me the work wasn't harder, it's just the kids get dumber. A LOT dumber. A star basketball player from middle school has started smoking (actually he's well into it now) and he couldn't try out this year, kids play the pass-out game in study hall when they're overly bored and more people get in your way. I really wish I was back in middle school but to me the subjects are much easier.

Sorry but I'd say it's the opposite.  High school, in no way, is an operative example of everyday life post those 4 years.

Since I have already been through school, the rest of my life will be hard, because I don't know what to expect.  In school, you had three things to look forward to...socializing, tests and the bell to let you out at 3ish.

1998 was the worst "situation," though it admittedly lasted a bit longer than most situations.  My parents divorced and my mom and little sister moved six hours away; I stayed (with my dad) even though I didn't want to.  My older sister and brother were living together when he killed himself (two weeks before I started high school) and my sister had to leave, so she moved to Canada and I didn't see her for seventeen months.  My dad turned into an alcoholic so I very seldomly saw him.  My other brother was in Italy without a phone, so I couldn't reach him.  And I had absolutely no friends - not an exaggeration - because it had been my first year of public school at the time (8th grade) and I was considered a total loser.\n\nI really have never in my life felt more alone.\n\nThankfully, that is very much in the past. =)

Urrr...I'm not in eighth grade anymore, but guys in my school usually looked for a girl who'd make out with them. Those were the bad guys. The good guys generally just looked for a nice, (usually funny) girl who they could talk to. (Appearances usually helped, too, but that's not all that matters.)
