Besides, I dont know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you have already had in one night. Its best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.Frank, Aged 21I 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 20When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didnt 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 19Im not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But youll get used to it. Dont be afraid of anyone; some students may pick on (故意刁难) you more if you let them know youre afraid. Just take it easy.
