Hey Pandas, What Are Some Of Your Tips For A Freshman Student In High School?

Join as many extra-curriculars now, so you won't have to cram so many in, in the last year of high school.

Go about your business like it's no one else' business. Just acting a bit awkward, worrying about how you come across, bullies pick up on that and you will be an easy target.

During your free time, explore the school. The more familiar you are with it, the less you'll come across as a freshman.

Start researching colleges and careers now. Also. You don't need to go to college. Trade school is cheaper and more profitable.

Be careful not to gain the freshman 15 pounds. In my day it was the freshman 10 pounds.

most ppl are homophobic asf. even if your not part of the LGBTQIAP+ community, steer clear of them, as normally theyre also just a******s.

if you are offered a scholarship or any such big oppurtunites, never decline n favor of friends. if they are real friends, they will understand.

romance s not a priority. there will be plenty of time later, but school comes first.if you have a crush, dont let it get in the way of your friendships. crushes are caused by hormones in your brain, and if whoever it is is also a friend, dont tell them about it until its a holiday. also, think about it logically; do you really love this person, or do you just like their aesthetic/personality? would you like to date, or just be their friend? if you dont know them, get to know them better. you may find they are acteually really s****y,and you dont want to get with a toxic person. dont date someont whos cheated in the past,they will cheat again.dont date your friends exes unless they say you can, friends are more important than a hormonal imbalance. if thay threaten you, dont kep quiet; report them! even if they say its because thay love you, thats manipulative asf.if they try to bang you, dont hold back; do whatever it takes to get away. punch,kick,scream, whatever.
especially if your in secondary, your probably gonna break up at some point soon. dont let them make you skip school,youll regret it.

or just dont date :)

in five yaers tops,no one will care abt how popular you were. get yourself a group of friends who are ever bit as freaky as you are.theyre the good ones.
a lot of popular kids peak in high school, ending up drvg addicted/struggling or in the case of our uterine-having allosexual friends, pregnant as teens T_T.of course , generally none of these things are their fault, s circumstances such as unseen mental health concerns, unsupportive families or abusive relationships Obviously, some escape this trap, but a lot dont, and you dont want to end up there too. with that said,see if theres a class gc. in 20 years, check bck on your old classmtes. if your rich and their struggling, old school rivalries dont matter anymore! (unless theyre a rap!st or were abusive or smth) if theyre at rock bottom , help them out! also theyre unlikely to sk for help, as if they were s****y to you in igh schol, that would be really humiting.just offer to help,then thay will take it. if you are the populr kid, make some wierd friends too! she will always be there fr you, and inviting her into your friend group will not only make you seem like a really bad@ss, but it will elevate her standing too.a lot of 'wierd' kids are depressed/su!c!d@l , and being there for them can actually stop a su!c!de.thats what she said at least.. not to mention wierd kids also are incredibly resourceful, and will always have an exuse to get out of a detentoin or such. im not even joking the nomber of times she saved my homework-less a*s isnt even funny at this point.

get a black backpack and converse, nike , ect style trainers. dont wear sketchers.

Tell others as little about yourself as you can. Anything other than your name, rank & serial number is on a need-to-know basis, and nobody needs to know. Carry generic notebooks. Don't wear anything that pertains to a musical act, movie, TV show, etc.
