Nice! It needs a little higher vocal in the mix compared to the backing tracks. Tip: Don't squinch your forehead when you sing. It really doesn't have anything to do with the music or your ability, but for some reason, people will notice that and be distracted--an unfortunate bizarre thing about humans and visuals versus sound. (I'm an old professional, if it matters.) reply

I am home schooled, one bonus is no bossy teachers. You get to go to home ed kids camps, you choose what you want to learn, no peer presser, the only thing i can think of that's not good is that you're stuck with your mum/dad ALL DAY! reply

I agree with this.
Not sure how it is in the United States (I assume), since I'm from Canada...
High school will be fine. Is it harder? Yes, academically and socially. But that is expected since we grow older. If you ever feel like you need help, talk to your parents, counsellor, teacher, or friends. They are there for you. There might be a time when you ask yourself, I'm old enough that I don't need help or advice. Think again. If you can't help yourself in the first place, why would you let your mind wonder about getting help. Don't hesitate.
Was I scared of seniors (we say grade 12)? Yes, I was when I entered high school. But, remember this is just a perceived judgement. I'm sure if they were really bad people, they would end up under real trouble (eg. police). For sure some of them may appear to be tough and mean, but remember they just want dominance and superiority, because it's their grad year.
I agree with a poster below. Giving you the whole perspective, you will be changed at least one way, since you enter high school vs. when you leave high school. Whether that is a simple physical change (growing taller, braces) or personality change (some classmates ended up doing drugs), ultimately, whatever you do is up to you. You will face a LOT more peer pressure compared to elementary school, because you are trying to experiment and fit in with a specific group. Use judgement skills to let you know what is right and not right for you. Sometimes, you may try to use the term YOLO while in high school. While it is true that we only live once; think of the future and its impacts on your surroundings. For example, if you are going to do drugs, think of what happens if I overdose? What is the impact on my family if I become dead? There are a lot of stories of the past, learn from them.
Yes, I know that this may seem very negative. However, these situations that I have talked about are very real, and they will come up at one point or another.
Trying to think of everything...
Don't pay attention of the little details - eg. what time is lunch? how fast should I walk in the hallways? You'll learn and know what to do instantly.
Oh. Haters. This sucks.
I had haters in my school. With a combination of Facebook, sometimes this causes big problems. Not everyone is going to like you (sad, I know... who knows why). You can try to talk to that person and such. It can reverse bad situations. You may come across backstabbers, etc. Lots of high school drama. As well, there will be people who like you. Ignore those that don't like you. It's their problem that they don't like you, not yours.
Ultimately, be yourself. Don't try to please everybody, because not everyone will like you. The ones that are meant to be will naturally come and stay. I am saying this all based on personal experience. You do not necessarily have to follow my tips, but keep in mind that everything is "up to you". Your choices define who you are and who you will be. One last tip: have fun! I have stated a lot of "cautions" but please enjoy high school, once you hit college, there will be less time to have fun. reply

It's definitely a huge adjustment from middle school. I'm a sophomore this year, so of course I've settled in, but it took me a few weeks as a freshman to get the hang of things. My advice is, don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it, go out of your way to be kind to people, and feel free to participate in extracurricular activities, dances, and pep rallies. You'll have a more enjoyable experience that way, and you might meet some really amazing people.
I hope your freshman year goes smoothly! (: reply

It's not as bad as you think it's going to be. People aren't going to shove you into lockers or anything like that. Be sure to walk at a moderately fast pace, and if you have a big group of friends don't congregate in the middle of the hall way. You should be fine, good luck. :D reply
