I'm going to be a freshmen in high school this September, how do I prepare myself?

Well, I don't really know what to expect for this semester.

Is there any way I can prepare for high school during the summer? How is it different from middle school? Is there anything I should know about it? Do you have any advice?
The more information, the better!

Thanks!
 
I'll be in high school next year too, so I can't give you advice on what to expect really, but here is what I am doing.

- I got tutors for the subjects I am most nervous about for next year, and so I start with tutors next week in math and spanish.

- I am going to an academic based summer camp to learn debate skills because I plan on joining the debate team

- I pulled up the school's summer reading list, and even though we were only asked to read two books from the list, I have chosen several to read.

- My high school linked me up with a student already attending who can give me advice and stuff. Talk to kids you know that go to the high school you'll be attending.

More people, more activities. You can study, cause in high school you learn geometry.
 
i now a senior in high school and its not that bad just don't act like a freshmen act like u have always went there. its not bad trust me just stay who u are because mi freshmen year mi grades started dropping and in mi 10th grade year i started using drugs and drinkin. mi grades went way down and i was barely passing. but now im clean i don't use drugs but i still do drink. high school gos by fast and the higher grade ur in it gos by faster. just make the most of it and try 2 keep ur grades up cuz if i could i would go back and get better grades but i cant and now im gonna have a hard time getting in to a go college. good luck
 
I'm going in the fall too hers what I know.

Don't mess up in your classes because it's hard to bring your gpa back up.

Don't change to be liked or like someone else.

As a freshman stay away from senior boys and maybe junior boys too .

Don't be shy and make friends with everyone.

Don't stress out cause its the best times of your life.

I hope this helped
 
I'm so glad I don't live where ever you live, America I suppose? Over here in England your either in Primary School, 6-11yrs old, Secondary School, 12-16 yrs old and finally there's all that higher education stuff i.e college and university!
Why is America so complicated?

Just enjoy your summer break, school isn't even out for me yet 1 1/2 months to go...urgh!! =[
