High school can be a very scary place, but probably the one of the most enjoyable experiences of your life. Remember that what you do in high school will have an impact on the rest of your life. ie: what college you will get in, leading to what job you will have. Enjoy yourself but study hard. There are so many fun things in highschool: football games, prom, homecoming, sports, friends, clubs, etc. However, kids can be mean. It seems like kids are starting to grow up at this age but still they can be nasty. Let it slide off your back, they do it to everyone. Have so much fun!

you make tons of new friends..
if you screw up, most people will find out by the end of the day
you can watch fights at lunch and not get in trouble
you get to drive soon
you can dress however you want
you can pretty much start all over (personality and everything) being that most people wont no you anyways
high school is still school...u still have to learn things that are stupid
im going to be a junior this coming school year.. literally it flies by...and yet it has been the best school years of my life!
you can date a lot of people
you get to party harder
most of the dances are better the junior high

it is not to bab .

good :
more privillages
get away from all the little kids in your old school

bad :
bigger.
older people who think their better than you .
have to work your butt off to pass.
lot more homework.
more sophisticated teachers, so they expect more from you .

if you take honors classes . . . HOMEWORK EVERY NIGHT ugh

extracurriculers like sports and other stuff get a lot tougher, more intense training because your going up against bigger and badder schools!

some teachers just want to make you strangle em,

AND A BIG ONE IS
more 2-faced people, rumors, gossip, DRAMA, all that crap
because I've done it a lot and its been done to me a lot and I HATE IT!
and you find out who the real jerks are usually as the years go on.

but I think its much, much better than middle/elementary school

IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT HIGH SCHOOL YOU GO TO BECAUSE a lot OF TEMPTATION HAPPENS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE YOURSELF

All high schools are different. a lot of high schools apparently have strict teachers, but I can't really say that about mine because I've had 9 different teachers and I can't really consider any of them strict, and more than half of them were super-nice and I still talk to one I don't have for a class anymore.

But yeah, more kids, a lot more homework, and the homework is much harder. ;X
