I hopw people can give me some tips about what to expect in highschool.


Since I graduated 8th grade three years ago i'll try to help you out.

1. Avoid the band. When you pick on one you turn around and there are 15 of them.

2. Avoid all jocks if possible. They will use and abuse you.

3. If you smart in a certain class, don't make that common knowledge. People will be on you like hawks.

4. Freshman year you don't speak to strangers, never ask for help, and stay by yourself.

That's all I got.

[Merdoc.]

k man first of all highschool is alot better, im taking it you were in middle school but first you mature alot faster since your with grade 12, second theres hell of alot more people that will be on yourside so you got protectionand third you learn about AWSOME partys

[Moose]

Middle school was shit, Highschool was great :)


Now i'm graduating and taken the summer off...oh ya!

[++grimreaper++]

That's the most anti-social thing I've ever heard.

My advice: Don't be afraid of anything. Do what you want and don't look back.

[zzzaacckk]

Best price of advice: Have Fun and just remember... knowlage is power, power corrupts, study hard and become evil :)

[++grimreaper++]

get used to the smell of axe cologne :mad:


nice one :p

[EleMENTAL]

I was in Junior High, I am not sure if that is middle school.

I have already gotten a big whif of axe. It is horrible.

Thanks everyone.

[The Cheat]

As you mature and grow up more as a person you become more social. Year after year in high school you become much more social.

hellzyeah, im going inot 8th grade now

[mushroom_girl]

Yeah that's the way my school was set-up as well. 7th and 8th as Jr. High instead of Middle school. But yes, it's middle school.

I went to my High School today with a friend, just to see a little of what it was like. So far, I have to disagree with most of what The Cheat said (sorry!). I talked to most people there, some seniors and juniors even, and they didn't seem that bad. One of them tried to convince me that there was a swimming pool on the 5th floor. :rolleyes: There is no 5th floor and no swimming pool. But that was just one person.

So I'm going to just talk to everyone, and don't hide from certain people. It's good to have a mix of friends anyway. :)

1. True, "bandos"( what we call them) usually stick together and get pissed if you pick on them, espicially the drummers.

2. That is the dumbest this I've ever heard. I myself can be considered a jock and we are the ones you would want to get to know because not a lot of people mess with us, so you're pretty safe with them.

3. Yah true, I love it when teachers put me behind the smart people. Espicially when you didn't stufy for a test ;)

4. Thats the year I spoke to everyone in higher grades then me. You meet new, older people who you can go for advice. I have a lot of Junior- College freinds ( sophmore for the next week) and it's great when they can drive you off campus, write you absence passes, and if you need help with anything really.

Anyways, Try to be as social as possible, join clubs, sports, go to dances, football games ect. That way you get known.

[insignifiGant]

As you mature and grow up more as a person you become more social. Year after year in high school you become much more social.
So why would you have to live in a shell your freshman year?

HOLY SHIT. Your only in grade 8! My highschool goes from Grade 8-12, I just wrote my provincial final exam today for Science 10. God, what a bitch. Anyways, always be on the lookout. Because you will get thrown in a garbage or stuffed in a locker. Be afraid, be very afraid. :cool:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I just graduated highschool an hour ago and I'm on my 4th drink. GHetting hammered tonight. Hell yes!
We had ours last thursday, and I'm getting hammed tomorrow. :cool:

[Mr.Wister]

Let's hope you don't have a gay gym teacher like my brother did...:D

[Newgen]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I just graduated highschool an hour ago and I'm on my 4th drink. GHetting hammered tonight. Hell yes!
What highschool did you go to anyway star?

[shatterstar]

infants. ;)

ya high school was an age and another country ago. I think all i got is enjoy yourself. You wont have much time for that later on. too many bills and meetings.

[Newgen]

It's only been like 7 years for me... I still sorta remember freshman year of highschool.

[sooner4life]

:confused:

I thought we got out kind of late. It's been a little over a month since I had to devote half my day to learning. :cool:

[shatterstar]

9 years for me. remember freshman year v. well. in my school we had junior school till 5th grade, senior school till 10th and junior college for the last 2 years. so i didnt change schools till i was 16. got a whole load of new kids in 9th tho. hazed the hell out of them at first. then we threw them a party.

[mushroom_girl]

Ok, I took my own advice this year, the exact opposite of what TC said.

I am currently dating a Junior (he's going to be a senior. 2 year difference.) I have friends in all different cliques and grades, and no enemies at all that I am aware of.

I'm glad I didn't stay in a shell, or I would have been miserable. ;)

[The Cheat]

Damn I'm just getting ownd in this thread.


Looking back I'd admit, I was not a very social guy. But as time went on I became more social.

I still did not like the jocks

I still did not mess with the band.

High School was fun and i'll miss it a lot. I really did not talk to the upper class men for I had nothing to talk to them about. I stayed with my own peers and did my own thing.

Senior year was a different story. That was a hoot. :cool: :) :cool:

[Newgen]

Since I graduated 8th grade three years ago i'll try to help you out.
Didn't you just finish your junior year, going into senior?

[mushroom_girl]

Didn't you just finish your junior year, going into senior?
Psst.

This thread was made last year. ;)

[Newgen]

Ahh my bad, I didn't look at the date.
Just finished his senior year then.

[The Cheat]

Ya. Off to college in two months! :eek: :cool: :eek:

[Newgen]

Only live in residence for one year...
My cumulative average has gone up 23% since leaving the dorms.

I don't plan on leaving the dorms. Of course plans change. I hope my roommate will be cool.

[shatterstar]

whcih college if i might ask?

Sorry can't give out that info online.

Abuse of power? Now you have my attention.

[shatterstar]

if you want to drink in the dorms being an RA is the best thing. the RAs are supposed to enforce violations of underage drinking. become an RA, abuse your power, drink. you also get massive rent concessions, free food, the best rooms and priority housing.

I definately want to become one. My dad did some work on the University I want to go to and he was working in the room of the RA. The guy had beer piled everywhere. My dad asked him why he had so many beer cases full the guy said for every 5 cases he sells to the students he gets 1 free for himslef:D How fucking amazing is that. With like 3000 students buying tons of beer could you imagine!!!*drools*

O and newgen I go to Sir Winston Churchill SS.

[Newgen]

York or U or T?
Winston Churchill? Never got to play your school at anything other than at track OFFSA I think.

It also helps your social life too. especially if you end up in a geek school like mine 3:1 guys to girls.

[mantis33]

8th grade was the best year of my life. Expect it to get worse as years progress. Lol. :(

[KickAssPlaya]

For myself, life is getting more and more enjoyable as it goes on. But I am only going to be an Junior next year. Last year was rather fun, but so was freshmen year. :)

[DarkMethod GL]

Yea my Sophmore year was fun, and now im moving into 11th grade, hopefully that will end up being good too.

[KickAssPlaya]

Same here Dark. Finally an upperclassmen. xD

[Gnosis]

join choir. They are the funnest bunch of people you will ever meet, well only in advanced choir.

but that is just in my school, it is probably different in other places.

[Lone2Wolf]

I'm a freshman next year! (August)

I have to disagree with all of TC's tips, except #3.

I don't think I'm allowed to, since I'm just starting high school, but here's a tip.

Become well-known and liked in middle school. That way, you don't have to worry about doing that in High School. :)

[KickAssPlaya]

AW, that isn't exactly true...you don't go to high school with everyone from middle school..atleast where I am it isn't. ;)

[Lone2Wolf]

Mine do. My high school is made up from two schools, Selvidge (mine) and Crestview. Both schools "feed" into the high school, and everyone goes into that high school. I'm pretty well known in both schools, somehow. :confused:

[KickAssPlaya]

You get around eh? :p

You're as old as me :confused:

Anyways, Cheat, what the hell kind of school do you go to. That list is like HOW to be beat up ;)

And Cheat, my sister is a senor so I'm not just assuming this stuff ;)

I made that post a year ago. A lot has changed since then. There were hardly any fights during my four years of H.S.

1 and 3 are still true. 4 is now false. 2 is meh. Most jocks are asses(but not all of them).

To answer you question I went to a public school in That One Place

[EleMENTAL]

Senior next year:cool:

[Tama Drummer]

Senior next year:cool:

by far the EASIEST year I've had in high school. prolly cause I just took a bunch of "general" classes, but I didn't have anything lower than an 83% in all my major classes.

I graduated last Friday.

Me too!! Go us!!

[FryLock]

I didn't realize Elemental was only an 8th grader. In that case, I take back my comments making fun of his prom picture, in which he wore pants that were many sizes too big, a poorly fitting jacket, a badly tied tie and a ridiculous hat. And apparently had no date.

I think everyone has that kind of phase in 7th or 8th grade.

Note the date... he posted that in '05, and he just said he was going to be a senior next year.

[Hatchet Warrior]

Senior year is going to be a blast. I have a ton of catching up to do though -_-

[shurtugal]

Start exams on Wednesday, I'm basicly an entire grade ahead of my twin brother, he skips more than he goes to school, I have a perfect record except for two sick days and a vacation :cool:

[bludhoundz]

I'm graduating next Monday :D

I have no work left, and only 1 day of classes left.

[Zander]

Fantastic... I was wondering why our college student(Cheat) was giving you tips on freshmen year, after having graduated 8th grade only 3 years prior.

[The Cheat]

I don't remember now that I think about it.

But man! Such young ones you people are....

H.S been there, done that, got the piece of paper.

College sucks though.

[FryLock]

Note the date... he posted that in '05, and he just said he was going to be a senior next year.

Ah. I just assume that people won't necro an old, old thread. So much for that.

Then I reinstate my mocking of his prom outfit. Seriously.

[Faulty Logic]

Since I graduated 8th grade three years ago i'll try to help you out.

1. Avoid the band. When you pick on one you turn around and there are 15 of them.
no, be nice to everyone then no one will tryn get at you.
2. Avoid all jocks if possible. They will use and abuse you.
be jock then do follow #1..makes people love you if you break the mold.
3. If you smart in a certain class, don't make that common knowledge. People will be on you like hawks.
do this then apply rule 1 and 2..again breaking the mold earns respect

4. Freshman year you don't speak to strangers, never ask for help, and stay by yourself.
approach 2nd tier "cool kids" there for you meet the "top dog" with out being humiliated b/c you know one of their friends.... they are easy to spot.. they are the ones who are popular but still mad insecure and dont like to party as much as everyone else....

That's all I got.
and thus why you failed

Or become popular, date older girls, and be the really athletic kid who's also really smart but then doesn't do any homework and relies on acing tests so he fails all of his classes and has to leave TAO for 2 years b/c hes in intensive therapy.


that's all I got. :P

[The Anti]

Haha. I'll be sure to follow that one. =D

[Faulty Logic]

Worked for me :P

haha life good though now... 3 varsity sports and a few g/fs later.. life worked out.... lol the therapy was a bi-- though.

[The Anti]

I don't think I plan on going to therapy lol...I might have to though..=/

[Zander]

I don't think I plan on going to therapy lol...I might have to though..=/
omg really tell me more about it.

[Faulty Logic]

lol I was in intensive therapy for 18 months.

a two and a half month wilderness therapy program in Utah called Outback, where we carried all of our stuff on our backs with backpacks we made out of tree limbs and leather, made our own fire (it gets old after the 3rd time) and we would hike 10 miles-ish a day.

then I left there to go to a therapeutic boarding school and spent 6 months in a room where if I were to look anywhere other than my desk or face any other direction than forward I would go back to the wilderness program. And I could couldn't communicate with anyone in a 100 person school and had to raise my hand and ask permission to do anything (bathroom, water, tissue etc.) and then 3 days a week a 2 and a half hour group therapy session where if you didn't participate by crying your eyes out you got in trouble.

oh the stories i have of the crap they made us do. I need therapy to reverse the therapy they did to me.

[shurtugal]

I need therapy to reverse the therapy they did to me.

Thats therapy for you.

[Faulty Logic]

yupp... it makes me shudder when i remember what they had us do.

[Memory of Light]

its scare tactics i tell you! they are like the soviets of education.

[The Anti]

omg really tell me more about it.

No. >.>

[EleMENTAL]

It's weird. Today I received my Letter of Acceptance to Bradley University. Probably one of the happiest moments of my life. And I look back to see that just four years ago, I was sitting here creating a thread talking about how I'm going into High School. It seems ridiculous to me that it has been that long.

So here I am, getting a letter that is planning out my future for me, sitting in the same spot I was four years ago when I graduated Junior High. Seems amazing to me.

[Wizzy`]

Congrats. =D...dunno what else to say. :p
