Be yourself, that's the best advice.  Don't act like someone your not just to get friends, people will eventually come up to you and talk to you and if you are yourself, you will make friends easily.  Starting high school with no friends is tough, but you'll get through it, I had to go to 4 different high school and I didn't know a single person in any of them, but now I have some life long friends and don't ever regret it!! \n\nSo just be yourself and the friends will come to you!! \n\nGood luck

Take plenty of math and science - all sciences. Of course health classes. If your HS has any physiology, kinesiology and anatomy AP classes take them too.

Tips on how to be organized:\n\n** Categorize!  Organize your stuff in groups!**\n\n- put the utensils that use the *most* in a pencil bag that you can (and will) carry with you everywhere -- in mine I have two black pens, two red pens, a mechanical pencil, a regular pencil, my favorite eraser, and my calculator\n\n- put extra/backup writing utensils in a different pencil bag that you keep in your backpack or locker -- I have a lot of extra black and red pens, more pencils, more erasers, and extra pencil lead kept in my backpack just in case I lose or run out of something\n\n- use ONE notebook PER subject (if the teacher wants you to have one) instead of mixing a bunch of subjects into just one notebook; and color-coordinate them!  if they're all different colors, you'll have an easier time of grabbing the right one in a hurry\n\n- use ONE folder PER subject (whether your teacher tells you to have one or not!) instead of putting all of your papers into one folder; this way, none of your work will get mixed up, and it's a lot easier to find a particular paper that you're looking for; color-coordinate these also, and label them by subject!\n\n- have a TAKE-HOME folder: this is one that you put your *homework* inside of -- all of your subjects can go in here; in the left pocket, put homework that you need to do; in the right pocket, put the homework that you completed that needs to be turned in\n\n(- the other folders are for the papers that you do not need to do for homework and do not need to turn in to your teacher -- save EVERY paper that you get back, and you won't lose anything!)\n\n**Last Tip!**  Put your name and the date on everything you get.  That way, if you forgot to turn in something, and the teacher asks for it, you can go right to the correct folder and find it according to the date.  Fast and simple.  Good luck!

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT succumb to peer pressure! drugs, bad influences, you will be offered many things in High School- be careful.\n\nSchoolwork-\n\nStay on schedule, because once you are behind, it is very difficult to get back on it. When it's a choice between homework and friends, make sure school comes first. You always have the summer for your social activities.\n\nBoys- \n\nThey will respect you if you make yourself respectable- you may not have as many dates, but all dating brings is heartbreak, 9 times out of 10. Love can wait. =) If you end up with a serious boyfriend, though, follow your head and not your heart. This is much easier said than done, but you must do your best.\n\nOn a lighter note, you will make good friends, sometimes lifelong. Live for the little moments that will never come again.\n\nOne last thing-\n\nThis is the last chance you will have to experience the thrills and chills of being onstage, as well as the sheer joy of being a child. I know you are very grown-up, all teenagers are well on their way to adulthood, but you're not there yet. Enjoy the last remnants of your childhood while they last. =)

Nope..High school isint scary..Let me tell you something..Certain things happen in highschool...You first real crush...love...You start to have actual friends..And one thing that you have to know..Life starts getting better...Friends never stays for ever..until you reach a certain age..18-21..The friends you form at that time will be with you...The earlier ones..well..it depends..they might go somewhere else to study or work..\n\nThe best way to have a social life??? Keep in good company...Mingle with everyone..but be a slight bit mysterious...Dont be an open book or predictable..Help out everyone..and dont be too good either...Do something that your teacher dont like..So now you have become a good but sometimes flamable person..Belive me...People come flocking towards this kind of a person...\n\nHappy High School Life..

Pay attention in class. If it's the SAT or ACT, buy a study book and study it. They really help you to prepare by giving you an idea of what it's like.

You have to get motivated and make time to do all of your homework (it helps, it really does), and you have to take the time to study.  Really, there's no other way to do it, and school is so important.  It's the ticket to your future.  You just have to put some effort into it because when you're an adult, it won't matter what you wore when you were in middle school or how popular you were or what video games you played or what movies you watched...\n\nWhen you honestly are trying your hardest and still don't understand, that's when a tutor is appropriate.  However, you can't expect to get a tutor to magically make you understand everything if you aren't willing to put in the effort yourself.

High school for me was a very memorable one. I just enjoy it. I don't study that "hard", but I study to have good grades. It's not a problem if you will have a boyfriend of not.  The thing is, you study so you will learn.  Having a boyfriend is part of growing up. It's just a matter of how you handle things especially your time.  \nJust remember, if you'll have a boyfriend soon, you must have the ability to handle things in balance. If you are reading your notes, have ur focus on it. After, then you can think of something else, boyfriend for forbriend, and friends. "You can't hit one bird with your gun if your looking in the other bird beside it"\nIf you will be able to handle it, then, you'll gonna make it to the end. God Bless.

Well, you probably already know that if all you want to do is survive, just stop doing school work. No one dies from failing to get a high school diploma. If you want to be a good student without completely stressing, do a search on time management and study skills. You could also check out "7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens"

The only way to get in right out of high school is to apply for the clerical positions.  Even part time working in the recreation department. Try working there as a part time intern.

High school is not as hard as you think, it's kinda like middle school only your teachers arent gonna care if you have a crapload of homework from another class.  Also there is alot more people there your not gonna know.  So get some of your friends and make plans to hang out the first day so you aren't alone.

Just be yourself if people like you they like you if they dont then they dont. Stay true to yourself and you'll make it through high school. Good luck and enjoy the time believe me it'll go by faster than you want it to.

Make each of the schools self-supporting. Follow the Delancy Street model. Google Delancy Street and you will see how it supports itself through running several small businesses. Students learn skills in the businesses. Every student who graduates high school should be able to support himself or herself in at least 3 different ways. This should be true even if they are going to college. Your students and staff will have ideas and so will parents.
