Second Year of High school. Kind of nervous.

I'm currently heading into my 2nd year of high school (no idea how I even passed, I do bad in school :S). Anyway, for some reason I'm more nervous than when I went into my 1st year. Is it because I know what the teachers are like and I don't like some of them? Any tips for me? :)

We have no idea why you would be more nervous. All I can say is try and relax and just have fun. It should be one of the better times of your life.

You think 2nd year is scary? Im going into my 3rd year, and Junior is known to be the most important cause of ACT's. Tips...... just do your work and pay attention. Its not hard to get good grades (Decent), as long as you pay attention in class then your fine(well for me).

Meh I didn't enjoy High School too much. College is way better. All the idiots have dropped out and the girls are hotter.

I'm in my second year as well, in fact this is my seventh day of school...and I'm completely stressed out D:

from personal experience: do not sign up for AP classes + sports + leadership + speech/debate + many clubs all at once...they'll kill you :cry:

I'm on my third year. And I'm a little nervous. How did your first year go ?

I pulled off Ap and sports and piano, but then again I didn't go to any parties or anything... still, I have no regrets

High School and/or college are your golden years, you'll look back at them and go "i miss it"

I'm going into senior year. Personally, I can't wait :D

But 2nd year is the 2nd most important year. You should be nervous. It also sets you up for junior year, which is your most important year. But still, in the grand scheme of things, it is completely unimportant. Hope I didn't confuse you.

The transition from middle to high school tends to be tough. I had a few freinds who got absolutely horrible GPAs (like 2.4 and less) in freshman yearbut gradually improved as time went on.

no need bro. So what if you fail a subject or two, P's get degree's that's what it's all about.

[QUOTE="dkdk999"][QUOTE="dan0314"] My first year was absolutely horrible. I had terrible grades, but I did better 2nd semester, only 'cause I hated my teachers 1st semester.Tokugawa77

I live in Canada and it made sense.

As for TC, 2nd year isn't too demanding. I slept through a couple of the boring classes and still managed fairly good grades.

Chances are you'll be absolutely fine. And after Sophomore year you'll be a Junior which means you are another step closer towards graduation. I remember how great graduation felt. So just study hard, work hard and then you'll end up in a good college and be set basically.

Trust me you'll do a-ok 8)

[QUOTE="dkdk999"] Ya I did horrible my first year too actually. Failed 3 or 4 classes and was lucky to get a c. However that changed for me my second year. I got almost straight A's. Maybe the same will happen for you ? good luck.dan0314

Relax, you should enjoy high school while it lasts.

He means that in Grade9 his friends had bad grades (a 2.4 at UofT is like 60%, im guessing that would translate to 60% in a Canadian HS, not sure though, but dude Canadian HS's are fairly easy, at least judging by the fact that many people who came into Uni with 90%+ averages have trouble doing decently and even sometimes getting the average grade of 70%) but then as time went on, as they went to Grade10 and 11, their grades improved. Also if Im not mistaken, dont only your grade 11/12 marks matter in Canada?jonathant5

Yeah, only grades 11 and 12 matter. 11 more so than 12 in my opinion.

You don't have anything to be nervous about. You don't really do much in 10 grade but I guess that depends on your class schedule.

get a haircut . that always relives my stress and gives somthing else for ppl to think about ( i ussually grow a afro then shave it off so its a big differnce)

i got a lot of D's sophomore year and 2 F's :D my parents were proud. No not really but i'm not going to college so i guess i don't have to deal with those kind of things that make people nervous. I only have 4 classes junior year because i have a job 3 days a week 1-2 on weekend bluetadomonk

I'd agree that getting in is easy. One of my friends almost didn't graduate and her average is awful (I think it's around a 50-something), but she still managed to get into at least two programs. Even my marks were a little lacking in grade 12, and I got into every university I applied for.

It's my third and last year of secondary school and I'm pretty scared - we've got those important exams sometime in April and if I don't do well on them I'll waste next 3 years in some ultra bad high school with pile of idiots instead of good one. :( Oh. And my lesson plan totally sucks.

[QUOTE="bluetadomonk"][QUOTE="dan0314"] No offense, but I do really bad, but not so bad I fail. Like I'm able to slack off in the beginning of a class in a year then easily bring it up in the middle, but then it usually drops at the end. :(dan0314

Damn a 50 and she got into 2 programs? It was probably a community college like Langara right? Cuz I cant think of any place, even Guelph or Ryerson (these are the 2 schools I have heard the worst things about, dont know how true it is) would not accept em. Cant imagine that she'd manage staying at the Uni long unless if she turned her life around and started putting some effort into what she was doing. Hell Ive heard rumors that some programs have almost 50% dropout rates, which is just ridiculous. jonathant5

Oh yeah, it wasn't uni. She was accepted to Seneca and Centennial College. And tbh, I don't think she's going to get her act together soon, not until she gets rid of her boyfriend.

Man it didn't seem so long ago that I was in 10th grade. Now I'm off to college and feel old :P Wonder how the parents of OT feel.

Generally you will need that piece of paper. Yes you can learn everything from the net and just by reading books, hell thats how I learn (I find most lectures to be a bit useless), but fact of the matter is that without that piece of paper (or well if you say you have no degree), HR departments at many if not all companies wont even look at your Resume and will simply throw it into the trash. jonathant5

Reminded me of this:

its High school. nothing you do matters. go have fun or something

High school was not fun for me. If you weren't some prep or jock with good social skills (like me), you were pretty much nothing at my high school.

It's sophomore year, it's fairly easy. You have nothing to worry about. LZ71

Yup, be nervous about it next year, not sophmore year. I'm a junior right now, and I know this is going to be the toughest year for me, 4 AP's, ACT, SAT, community service, apply for colleges/universities..

why does Guild Wars 2 have to come out during my Junior year? :cry:
