I need help.

So, I i’m going to go into high school on Wednesday and I’m really not looking forward to it. My grandpa says I’ll be fine. I mean some things will be fun, but but there’s other things that I don’t wanna deal about like more work, having to worry about appearances and crap like that, dating, and most importantly, losing my childhood. Since I’m 14, I only have 4 more years to live before I’m an adult. But, I really don’t know what to do in high school so, i’m asking you guys for info and suggestions and what I should do in high school, because I really don’t feel like I will survive high school. Give me any tips about dating, finding motivation to do schoolwork, what I should and should not do, along with other things. Please help.

For dating  PLEASE DONT ACT LIKE SOMEONE ELSE act yourself and you'll be fine with getting a girl

Not everyone will be on your side, not everyone will be against you, find worth on those you trust, and for those who mock you, make them regret.
In this new year you'll be fine, I believe in you, friend, or better saying, we believe in you. Who are we? That's what you need to find out.
And for all the time you have left in whatever you may think, remember to enjoy every single moment you may have.
We are here for you.

The only parts of highschool I remember are the bad ones, sorry. It's just more school tbh; you've already done it twice, you just have to do it one more time. Well, maybe two more times, if you do college.

Just be urself and if u get bullied just try to ignore them .
also if u wanna date then u can but sometimes its better to be single
Some ppl will hate ur guts but some will be ur friends whatever you do don't think ur a failure  

Time goes faster when you don't look at the clock.

Thank you all for the help and support. But, I have school tomorrow. I'll try and do what you guys said, and we'll see how it goes. Wish me luck!

Gl, I don't have to deal with it until September

Well, there's a lot of change in life when you reach high school, but it's not really that bad. Honestly, I don't know why anyone worries about appearance. Like, in the US at any rate, people go to school wearing pajamas. That's not much of an appearance. If your talking about personality and like, making friends, just, you know, be yourself. Remember, everyone around you is gonna have the same hopes and worries as you. You're all in the same boat together ya know? And if you're ever getting bullied, don't try to deal with it alone. That's when it gets worse (trust me).

And about dating . . . Why bother? It can only slow you down at this age. But if you must - be yourself. People like you more if you don't pretend to be something you aren't. And uh, never take things too far. That's a sure way to lose a friendship. And on that note, don't be possessive of someone if you start going with that person regularly. That puts all kinds of pressure on both of you and sets you up for lots of stress and drama. You're in high school. Seriously. What are the chances anything will come out of this? I know they're not zero, but they're pretty low.

As for losing your childhood, it is sad. Yes. But there's really a lot of great things about this. You get respect with responsibility. It's cool.

Well, I've managed to turn this into a whole essay. I'll stop now. Good luck man. Hope it goes well!

From my perspective and my personal experience, I can tell you that highschool is just sequel to middle school.
Obviously there will more personal work at home will be required and more autonomy too. But as long as you were an overall good student in middle school getting good grades, you shouldn't have to worry. I passed my first high school year without doing much to be really honest.
Whatever the teacher say is false 80% of the time. They only want to put more pressure on their students to make them understand that hard hard hard hard hard working is the thing they have to do, which is completely false.
I hope you first day was really good. Today was my second day as a 2nd year High School student and I can tell you, even if it sounds scary at first, you'll end up being used to it.
