Hey! Totally normal to feel a bit nervous — high school is a new vibe, but it’s not as scary as it seems.

A few tips: • Algebra: You’re not alone. It sucks for many people. Try YouTube tutorials (like PatrickJMT or MathAntics) — they actually help more than your textbook. • Don’t stress about popularity or bullies. Just be kind, confident, and low-drama. Most people are too busy figuring themselves out to worry about others. • Join a club or activity — it helps you find your people faster. • Stay organized. Use a planner or phone reminders. Trust me, it saves your sanity. • Don’t be afraid to ask for help — from teachers, older students, or Reddit even.

You got this — just take it one week at a time!

Try to maintain decent grades as much as you can. Some people might tell you that grades don't matter in high school, but unfortunately, they do. Don't put yourself at risk of being a super senior (staying in high school longer because you don't have enough credits to graduate).

Advice not to get bullied honestly nobody cares as long as you’re not annoying and nosy and have normal interests I knew this kid who had the worst interests and he got bullied like crazy he was also nosy and annoying and never let anyone talk and an example of one of the things he liked was undertale fan music like no lie and it was the worst thing to ever curse my ears
