So I'm a freshmen starting highschool this year and I've been excited all summer but as school comes closer the thought becomes more and more scary. I'm pretty young for 9th grade, I'm only 13 (I'm turning 14 soon don't worry) while everyone else is 14 turning 15, everyone seems so much more mature than I do. I still want to go and do fun things like trick or treating on halloween and reading books from the kids section but since my friends are older they might not want to do that. Do i keep doing all the "kid stuff" or do i move into doing more adault things like society would exect from me? What about relationships?? How do you deal with that along with all the stress of homework and sports? I dont have a significant other but what if I get one? jUsT hOw????? Highschool has been an exciting for me to think about in the past couple years but as I get closer and closer i get so many questions and no one to answer them for me. I'm made it on my schools JV cheer team (Sideline, not Competitive) and got chosen to be a captain. How do I manage my time for both Cheer, beiing a captain, and homework all at the same time? How do you manage having guys that are friends and hanging out with them and not being teased by everyone?? Are Dances worth it to go to?? Or do they just cause trouble. if you have any advice please let me know!!!
