even though you just saw the broken chair and did not break it.

Oh come on it’s kind of a tradition to pick on the freshmen a little bit - Randomator

Sophomores may make fun of the freshman a little bit but the juniors and seniors definitely don't care enough to do anything to them. If the freshman don't bother the seniors, the seniors won't bother the freshman. - Ajkloth

Usually when I want to talk to someone I usually just walk with them, go to their locker, talk in either of our classroom doors, or if I am walking in the opposite direction I just pull a U turn. - 2storm

Same with the students. You might not even see them again after that semester.

My school has a legit working elevator. - Lunala

I have recess in my middle school

There's no recess in middle school, either.

Recess I learnt what that was from American television shows, it looks little kiddy. What next do you want toy day?

Yes

Yes! Do this!

Yea because that's extremely annoying and can cause you to get some bad attention.

Damn high school sounds like a prison.

"must be people that are your friends will stop being your friend in high school or middle school.the best thing to do is not worry about it and move on.

It's not like elementary school where you're stuck with the same people. There's a lot more people in high school with many different interests, making it easier to make friends, especially in a club or elective classes.

Most teachers don't care, but for some reason their are those few teachers that threw a fit at my school and my school ended not letting use it during class time. - 2storm

Literally half the teachers in my school don’t care if you’re on it during work time. Obviously not when they’re teaching but if they’re just sitting at their desk some don’t care - Randomator

Nobody can put labels on you. nobody. if someone calls you stupid, it just reflects on them because they're just jealous of you even though it might not seem like it, they are

A lot of people want to be successful in high school and avoid failure this can help show your intelligence and be able to understand what the teacher is teaching in class

Bullying is a given, I know this because I've chopped and changed schools constantly. I'm going back to one of the ones I was at and am going to not listen to anyone's opinions, I have short hair, I'm not lesbian. (No offense to anyone! ) I'm chubby! Who the hell cares! I am who I am, accept me, or get out of my way because I don't have enough time in my life to deal with your judgy self. 😍

Yeah! You'll show up in the yearbook more! I'm a freshman N I'm scared as HECK! because I don't know where ANYTHING is and I have no friends. But I'm joining this one club and I already signed up for 3 sports.

You just need to catch up sometime

You will hear girls scream, "Hey Bestfraand! " when they get to school and they may think it's cool but little do they know no one likes them because of that. Just talk normal, speak when spoken to.

Not just for american schools but for everywhere. If you don't like the school, change it as fast as you can.

This can help avoid drama and bullying from other classmates. This can also help avoid distractions

Be careful what you say to other people there are some that won’t care while there are others that will actually try to pick a fight with you after school

I can’t stress this enough! Do not fight!

If you get into some drama don't let that distract you from your studies
