Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
David, Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening(令人恐惧的). But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.

Nowadays, many middle school students are taking all kinds of after-school class. There are two opinions about it. Some think that students can get good exam results and go to better schools if they took these classes. They also believe that students can avoid to watching too much TV or playing computer games by taking more after-school classes. But other think students need more time to rest. If they take too much classes, they might feel stressed-out. Besides, putting too much pressure on them can have the opposite effect. As for me, I don’t think take extra classes is necessary. How we learn in class is enough. We can improve our efficient in class and learn to teach ourselves instead relying on extra lessons.
