I've got some tips. If you make a group of friends that like to make fun of each other, it would be best to laugh at yourself and think of something funny to say in recoil. The teacher's will respect you if you respect them. In middle school, I had this one English teacher that hated anyone who was not in Football. But it's not like that in High School. Just be sure to do all of your work, and make the extra mile to get the best grade you can. At my school, we only have four classes a day, so it's a tad easier. If you have an AP class, or a Pre-AP class, tell me. I've got even more tips. I know I sound like a dork telling ya this, but I've been a Freshman before. It might be hard at first, but it gets better as the year goes by. Good luck, Blue Toad.
