Surviving Freshman Year Pt. 2 Fitting In

What To Watch Out For

            When heading into high school there are a few things you should expect, one is what people will think of you. You should definitely be yourself, but at the same time there are things you can do to avoid getting harassed, made fun of, or bullied. The biggest thing to worry about is hygiene, you're at a stage in your life where you should be showering everyday at least once, having a clean body will help you gain confidence and also look more attractive.  Along with hygiene you should make sure to dress in clothes your size, if you are not confident  with your size you can always wear baggy clothes like sweatpants or hoodies. Being confident in yourself will show others that you are proud of who you are, and them saying things is not going to affect you in any way.

 How To Find Your Group

High school will go by a lot faster the more you are involved, finding a group of friends with similarities to you that enjoy spending time in the same way you do will make your year go by a lot faster and be more exciting. There are many after school activities that you can do to pass time, for example if you are athletic there are a wide varieties of sports you can join as well as track and field. If you are not as athletic you can join chess club or theater. No matter who you are and what your interests are you can always find a group that interests you and is fun too.
