Don't listen to all the negative responses as they're NOT going to make your life easier.
Learn in it
Love it
Enjoy it
Think this way, since you're going to be in highschool anyways, instead of hating it, why not love it instead? Makes your life 100x easier and happier than if you choose to hate it.

ROFL.

Ah I miss that feeling of asking a girl out that you really like. It seems so much more difficult in high-school. 6-7 years later it will seem funny.

But you don't know that, and you won't know that it was one of the most enjoyable experiences in your life untill it's over. Just be yourself and do what you like. You'll be ok.

The easy step to doing well in highschool, socially at least, is playing football.

Don't underestimate the classes, and don't over estimate yourself.

I went into high school thinking I was the fucking shit (all honors classes), and didn't think I had to do the homework. The classes really weren't that hard (though they were much harder than middle school), but because of my attitude, I did terribly. Going into my senior year I have a 2.7 GPA because of it, and I severley regret my attitude during the first two years of high school.

Other than that, high school is really fun. Get in with a tight group of friends rather than having many shallow friends.

I'll be a senior this year and from my experience, I think's it is a lot better than middle school b/c of less rules you have to deal with. You'll like it, you'll get to know a lot of people and make many new friends.

But still, school sucks.

Going to a bit high school rocks. There are 4000 students in my school, so it's really easy to make friends and get involved in clubs. Social boudaries are less severe than in middle school. It's definitely more fun that middle school, but the work sucks (6 APs and orchestra right now for me).

Things upper classman hate:
1) a kid who acts like he knows everything in class
2) a kid who tries to crack jokes every 5 minutes in class
3) a kid whos really stupid and makes the teacher mad all the time

just avoid those things and you'll be cool
HS is great and you've reached a point in your life where you can start developing "true" friendships (though this is debatable) and you should just try your best to make strong lasting relationships :D
do good in school too and make your family proud

Sounds like you're reading a list off me when i was in seventh grade -_-;;.

Let me just say this to ts. Everyone gets the willies when they go to a new school/ high school. I moved over 15 times and been to over like 10 schools and still i feel nervous. I was mad nervous when i first came to middle school than i met my closest friend. Have fun. First few days it will be hard but you'll get used to it. And if you arent shy dont try to wait for people to be friends with you break the ice first.

High School is the best time of your life, however, you only realize it after you are finished.

There is no build order for making it at school though

Just be yourself and true friends will follow.

don't listen to him
high school is basically a waste of time.
your teachers are sad, underpaid, and inept and your peers are stupid sheep perpetuating idiocy.

good luck trying to develop a real personality in that soul squashing place, and good luck trying to not get your ass kicked... and good luck trying to get laid.
