High school....... everyone always says "enjoy it because of how fast it goes by" or "those are the last few years before adulthood, enjoy them". Well let me tell you something about high school. High school is put into perspective as a scary place where everyone changes, you won't have the same friends you did before you went into high school, or it can also be put into perspective as a happy place where you can find yourself. Finding new friends or new things, maturing even. High school is a place of great mystery to little kids when you talk to them about it. I can tell you that high school can be great, but it is not always like that. Sometimes it is the best, but yet at times it can be the worst. I'm not trying to scare you or anything like that, trust me when I say that I was like most people thinking about how these next four years could be the best all the time or the worst all the time. Now I am a junior in high school who still, can remember the first day she walked into high school as a freshman and being scared, or frightened, or even happy.

I was told that these years would either be great or horrible, or that I would lose some of the friends I had in middle school, and you know I did lose friends, but because I didn't have the right friends. Yet I still have so many that I can count on who were middle school and even childhood friends. High school can be the best time of your life if you make it that way. I know sometimes it is hard not to fall to all the pressures that are around you because sometime your "friends" can push you to do something you don't want to do. My advice is to make those high school years the best time. If you are in high school, make it even better to just try and keep yourself up and hang around people that actually care about you and you can be yourself with, but remember don't forget about school!
