High School...

So I just had my first of 2 highschool orientations tonight.

me.

I'm actually legit scared of highschool, and I don't know why. I think it's the realization that I'm growing up and will be shoved into the real world soon. It's kind of traumatizing.

As you may know, in Canada high school starts in 10th grade instead of 9th like most countries, so grade 10 will be my first of 3 years in highschool.

I'm not a very confident person in the first place, and I do prefer my alone time, so the thought of being in a school of 1000+ kids scares me, when I grew up in a k-9 school with 500 kids. It's intimidating and I'm actually scared.

I know that people always say "oh there's nothing to be afraid of" "it'll be fine" "you'll love it"

nope

I'm ed.

And the streams. holy ing .

ELA 10-1, 10-2, 20-1, 20-2,30-1, 30-2.

who the needs this. stuff us all in one class. no one cares.

if anyone has any tips about highschool, what it's like, how to not kill myself in the process of being there etc, can you maybe post them in the comments? I kind of need some peace of mind right now, even though it's practically only March and Registration is in April.

I'm in tenth grade now and its honestly not bad. It might take a while to adjust but soon enough you'll find the right friends and you'll find your place and where you belong. I've learned so much about myself and about life and honestly it is an incredible experience. Make sure you find something you really enjoy and really get yourself involved. Good luck and don't worry - everyone else is going through the same thing! :)

We were the same. I moved from a 200+ school to a 1600+ school.
Overwhelming; but the good kind of overwhelming.
High school can/will sometimes- but for me- it's almost over. Only 4 months left and I'll be going to university...
I feel old, lol.

I learned alot in high school - I learned standing up for myself, handling the stress and making new friends in an instant.

High school turned me from this shy reserved girl into a strong one who isn't scared to throw around her opinion.

I believe in you! You'll have lots of fun! ♥

I'm in tenth grade myself and know how you feel. I'm pretty shy and introverted but your best bet is to be yourself and just take it as another day at school. Find people that l look just as scared or out of place as you feel and you will make friends haha that's what I did. And everyone is new as experiencing the same feelings so talking to people in your grade will not be so much of a challenge. Just think positive and good things will happen :))
