I'm about to be a Freshman in high school and am a little nervous. Any tips from highschoolers?

Its totally okay to be nervous! Try to remember that this is a new period of your life and its a time to experiment. its helpful to be authentic and really explore your interests. This will also help you make friends!
Nerves are perfectly normal! One piece of advice is that the friends you make on the first day don't have to be your friends forever. Don't be afraid to talk to different people and float around a little before creating a friend group :)
As a senior who is graduating today, I would say to remember that high school is only 4 years, and that the hard parts will certainly be challenging. When everything feels suffocating, just know that you’re not alone, and that this, too, shall end. Also, make some upperclassmen friends or acquaintances if you can! As someone who was always the older friend, it warmed my heart to help them with everything :) Good luck as a freshman! Reach out if you need anything!!
Hi! I'm going into my sophmore year this year, so maybe I can help. One thing I'd say is that your friends from any sort of middle/elementary schooling can still be your friends, but if you want to make a big change in your life, go for it! Hang out with new people, try new things! Remember that everyone is probably just as nervous as you are, and are likely too self-concious to notice that you're nervous.
