Join the role-playing club or the technology club for instant friends. :v:
(No, seriously, my high school had no chess club or role-playing club and only got around to making a club for the nerds of the school when I was a senior. And senior year was fucking great for that reason. I literally had no friends or social life until senior year when I actually decided to actually join a newly-formed tech club.)
Also, don't worry about the MCAS test (assuming you're going to high school in Massachusetts, given your avatar). It's fucking piss-easy and practically [i]impossible[/i] to get lower than a Proficient unless you're retarded or didn't study at all in school (I got all advanced scores and won a scholarship that's now saving me $2,000 for college tuition).
Jerk off in the middle of class.
Seriously though, expect to lose friends, but gain better ones.

Oh my god this. They could at least move to the side.
It just so happens that the ONLY hallway to get to the other hallways of the school is where all of the gangsta kids hang out. They picked the most congested place in the school to do it...
Got through my third day of Freshman year. Getting chicks is easy despite being a nerd. (Well girl accuantices.)
Oh and, if you want to be a chick magnet, I know the way! (Even works for Facepunchers!)
Just grow yourself some chin stubble, take in a nice acoustic guitar with some songs learned on it. (I recommend Led Zeppelin, and The Other Side album by Godsmack).
Play some songs
Your drinking tang tonight.
Speaking as a senior:
[i]Keep to your own shit[/i]

How is he being a douche by learning guitar and growing a stubble?

Growing stubble and learning to play guitar just to pick up chicks just screams douche in my opinion.

And it works :D
Ok Facepunch. I have a question about highschoolers. I met this chick in art, and I kinda talk to her a little. I'd like to be friends(like friends, not any kind of relationship yet) but I've got nothing to start a conversation with. What should I do facepunch?

Try talking about music and films, works for me all the time.
I can share a bit of advice, although its been a couple years since highschool now.
First of all, don't wear "funny shirts". I don't care how many people think their cool, the joke shirts are retarded. Secondly, join a club. Their fun and give you something to do after school. Get into classes extra classes you enjoy, if you can have them in the middle or end of the day. They will help you relax between difficult classes. Participate in gym, even if your not athletic. Being the slacker walking in the mile run, and standing in a field aimlessly isn't cool. If you can get into the earliest gym class you can, even if its an early one before normal classes start as it is the easiest. Plus if they have an early class before normal classes, the parking is awesome. You can park wherever you want. You don't have to fight with the crowds or traffic. I parked as close to my last class as possible, which also allowed me to leave before I got caught up in the traffic as well. I was the first one to school, and the first one to leave everyday.
Save your favorite classes until your senior year, and try to get required classes out of the way as soon as possible. My senior year consisted of a gym class, then I went off campus to an automotive class for a few hours, then came back only to leave again to a building trades class. I spent my entire senior year doing nothing but what I enjoyed and it was great. While some of my friends were stuck still in math or social studies classes. Take the time to plan out all 4 years if you can. Talk to your counselor or whoever helps with class planning. You might also want to talk to them about plans for college. You can also plan your classes to benefit your college choice. The sooner, the better.
Be aware that freshman Friday is indeed real. Atleast it was in my school. During my freshman year I know a few people who were trash caned. One of which was in a full trashcan at lunch. The teachers don't care what the seniors do since its their last year. Just don't go around pissing people off and you will be fine. Don't act like a damn child.
Remember high school can either be the most fun you can have, or it can be hell. You will miss it when its gone so enjoy it while it lasts.
Started HS last week (fucking private school)
All the seniors and juniors are really cool to talk to.
That and I know alot of them from football.
I'm already starting to like high school.
high school will be the best years of your life, trust me.
really only junior year is hard, everything else is easy as hell.
Hi I live in ma too. How's it going
Don't ask for directions, get a map of the school. If you ask a senior or anyone like me we'll point you to the cafeteria or gym.
Senior here. Shut up.

Are your schools in America THAT big?!
Either way you would look like an ass-hat with a map walking into some girls boobs or something trying to find your way to business class or something.

It's not like that. It's just an amazing number of classes are numbered retardedly. They're numbered by size and how many room numbers. So, in reality, some of my classes like C-36 can be next to C-13.

My school is, we have over 50 rooms and 5 major hallways. Your schedule says class, teacher, and class room number. G50 doesn't help you find the room even if you know the hallway.
Don't listen to a single fucking word anyone says, they will whine about whatever they can and when you get there you will realize how much of idiots they were because all of this hard work and bullshit they had to deal with is suddenly gone.

Ooh, I'm from England. Schools fucking tiny, we have about 50 rooms, though shits so close together you learn everywhere within 2 weeks.
On top of that, only about, 500-700 people in our school.
first day is fucking traumatizing. you don't know where anything fucking is, and its generally a very intimidating experience. try not to be overly nervous though. you'll make it, trust me.
wait thats terrible advice silly me
Oh and, the teachers telling you stories about swirlies and getting stuffed into a locker is all bullshit, there probably telling you that since that happened to them.
You get fuck all homework in your first year.
Protip: Your childhood is already over and you only have 2 years of freedom left before you have to get a job. (maybe less)
Don't take directions from someone smiling and trying not to laugh, they're not sending you where you want to go.
If you see a group of people, don't get in their way. If those guys are friends already, you might have just found your new bullies..or new friends.
Don't try to dress cool. You'll end up paired with the other idiots who thought dressing cool makes them cool.
Swearing after every fucking word just fuckin' doesn't make you so god damned fuckin' kick ass mega cool. Don't fuckin' do it.
Being an idiot in class on purpose to get kicked out doesn't get you friends, it gets you bad grades and will probably effect you later in a bad way.
USE COMMON SENSE: If an assignment is due in a week, don't spend 4 days studying. Use your weekend do to your work. Spend Saturday studying and working, spend Sunday working.
School pranks are fun and all, but don't do something OBVIOUSLY STUPID THAT WILL GET YOU SUSPENDED / EXPELLED. Don't fill a classroom with cups of water, don't put rats in school lockers.
Don't skip school, it doesn't make you cool. You miss important studying time.
I'll think of more...
There are going to be two things at HS that you need to learn.
Where the small annoying but needed hallway is. Learn to tackle a person and it will not be a nuisance.
The bathroom known for pot users. It is weird to take a shit while smelling pot.
Here's a good one.
Never Call A Campo A Yard Duty
Make sure to get enough sleep.
Falling asleep in class/being really sleepy is a BITCH.
