What is the best advice for high school freshmen?

Lots of things are said to incoming freshman. Now its your turn to pass along words of wisdom.What is the best advice for high school freshmen?
* Find what you love. Ask around about which teachers are best and experiment with classes you might like. Volunteer or get a job in an area that interests you. Don't let your life be defined by the one-size-fits-all requirements; do your own thing.





* Don't worry too much about making friends right away; the people you cling to in the first week may turn out to be less interesting than the people you meet when you've found your niche.





* Be organized. Keep track of all your responsibilities in a planner or calendar -- helps you avoid ';Oh, that was due TODAY????';





* Be IN CHARGE of your own education. Ask for help if you need it; don't wait for parents or teachers to take responsibility.What is the best advice for high school freshmen?
dont slack off becuz it will come back to haunt u in about 2 or 3 years when its time to graduate and u dont have enough credits!!
Just be tough. Don't let them see any fear and show them who's boss. They're just being silly. If you show them your tough they will respect you and usually leave you alone.
Focus on school because all the social politics and separate groups are don't even apply in the ';real world'; so don't worry about being popular or cool. Just do your work and get good grades so you can get into some kick *** college. Trust me that will be WAY more important than anything else.
be smart about your actions
Beware of Seniors!! Ok, in all seriousness. Take notes, pay attention, study and get good grades. Don't be tardy, try not to miss any days, and be helpful to the teachers. These are the years when your grades count toward your GPA. Stay ';Above the Influence'; with peer pressure. Don't be afraid to be yourself and always remember, not everyone is always going to like you but you don't have to make it your problem, it is theirs'. Good luck...
Be as organized as you can. Pay attention to and keep track of due dates. It wouldn't hurt for you to have a planner or electronic organizer. Pay attention in class and take notes. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Most teachers don't mind, especially if you've been paying attention. Don't put off doing homework or studying. Your grade are going to be very important from this point on. Don't stress out about it, but just do your best.
Pay attention
my best advice to you is PICK YOUR FRIENDS WISELY!


one thing that is going to make or break a positive high school experience is your friends. one thing you don't need when enteing an already stressful situation such as a new school is drama created by your friends. i should know, because my freshman year sucked thanks to the friends i chose. also, make sure you have responsible friends. You don't want to have your friends getting mixed up in things like drugs or alcohol or sex or anything like that... because who you hang out with is ultimately a reflection of yourself! You'll be fine just as long as you dont do anything stupid!! don't do anything you wouldn't do in front of your parents, your principal, or your grandparents! make that your motto... have faith in yourself and don't do anything STUPID!
stay free of drugs, alcohol and tabaco products. Stay in school...
