Don't worry about it. Don't slack off, but have fun. You're going to be a doofus because you're a freshman, but nobody expects anything from you.

Oh, I was the youngest kid in my grade too. It kind of sucks, but you'll get over it.

I was young for my grade too (13 when I started 9th.) I made a point of being a nerdy know-it-all and showing up the older kids knowledge-wise in order to get respect. Later on when I got bigger and lettered in football and lifted weights I would just hammer the sh*t out of anybody with my fists that gave me a hard time.

Hope this helps!

Don't stress.

When you get there, just let things unfold and deal with them as they come.

Also, enjoy freshman year. Come sophomore year, you'll probably start piling on more classes (since after freshman year you know what you want to try and stuff), so you'll have less free time to just chill.

Talk because people won't know you if you don't, don't take other people's criticism to heart but don't completely block it out, it's always good to have a best friend, being a dick doesn't get you friends or womens. What I learned freshmen year. It's been really fun so far.

It can be nerve-racking, but just take it in stride. You'll have a great time in High School, and if you don't... you're just not making it happen. There's so many opportunities for good times around every corner.

Enjoy this time of your life.

do you have an older brother or something? if not try and find someone in 12th grade that wont just ignore you but will talk to you and actually respect you. it always good to have older friend to turn to for advice and have them stick up for you.

[Hanael]

Don't worry.
At least you still speak the same language.

you'll be able to adapt with your new environment fast enough. Sometimes people worry too much about something

Put it in her butt.

[Braden343]

super easy answer to your problems, just go out with the hottest girl in school, oh, and follow steez's advice.

Holy crap, you skipped two grades?

I skipped a grade as well, and I'm always the youngest, especially because my birthday is right before my county's cut-off date, so I'm even younger than most people in the grade below mine. Are you going to be in a program (IB, AP, etc.)? If so, that will help tremendously -- I'm in IB and it feels like a second family; everyone's just really comfortable with each other. Hopefully you'll get a few classes with some people you know. If not, just try to make some new friends, it's really not that hard. Moogle said it well:

When you get there, just let things unfold and deal with them as they come.

I started ninth grade this year the day after I turned thirteen, and I made plenty of friends (at least to my standards, heh). Just try to forget about your age and just be yourself (no matter how cliche that sounds).

[tomahawk]

fcukin nerds. ib is a waste of time.

[Frostie]

try to find some consolation in the fact that at least you'll eventually be getting some pussy in high school

Make a ton of friends in your classes freshman year. Go to all the football games, and the basketball games, and swim meets. Hang out with the people you met in your classes. Become friends of their friends, and then friends with the sports people. It will grow and eventually everyone will know your name and know its you when you walk up.

Be loud, but not obnoxious. Entertaining, but not so far that everyone thinks you are forcing it out and being desperate. Just go with the flow, dont stress about everything, thinsg happen, life goes on, and people forget. Dont let words phase you, and dont let people get under your skin. Thats all the advice i can really give you. Oh, and dont worry about girls so much, everything works itself out eventually, dont waste your time chasing girls and losing money, energy, pride, etc.

how tall are you? considering youre hella young.. if youre hella short too people will like you coz youre like a midget/baby.

option 1: study really hard, hang out with all the popular fake people, get into a good college, go there and party on your parents cash, then come back and realise it was all a waste of time coz you cant even get a job.

option 2: just pass your classes, be friends with good people, pay your dues, get the hell outta skool in one piece.

oh, drugs are bad.. by the way. pot is a non-issue for most people but dont think all the people are losers coz they smoke/drink in highskool, theyre usually alot of fun.. but the ones that do ONLY that usually are just plain boring.

what he said except learn how to not give a **** what other people think of you. if you dont care what others think the possibilities are endless and you can do whatever you want socially

Lol i think i may be the youngest person in my grade too! I'm a current freshman but im still only 14 and my birthday is october 21, I guess I'm not quite in your situation but i was kinda nervous for my first day too. Really, after a week or so you'll notice little difference to that and middle school. You're with the same people, the homework load for me is actually LESS!!!, and it's all very much like you're used to. Plus the upperclassmen aren't like everyone says they are so long as you stay out of their way. The best of luck to you, and remember, school's for fools!!!

[karrot]

dont be such a bich
grow some balls
or just repeat 8th grade

Put it in her butt.

Then pee in it!


Try not to stress about it ahead of time even though it's easy to, it won't help you and you'll just wear yourself out. Be yourself and just take things as they come, but not if they want to come in you.
