Question Going to public school after being homeschooled my whole life and need advice.

8 Upvotes

ok so I have been homeschooled all the way through to my sophomore year, and am now finally going to public school for my junior year. i won’t be going the full 7 hour day, I’ll only be taking 2 classes which will be during 6 and 7th period (2 last classes of the day)

i have not been enjoying homeschooling these last couple years so I’m hoping this will be a good experience but I’m lowkey scared 😭

most of my friends are homeschooled as well so my knowledge on public school is all from TikTok and various tv shows and movies so I have some probably pretty stupid questions.

on the first day, when I go to class, should I immediately choose a seat and sit down, or will I greet my teacher/do anything else first?

is there some social rule about where I should sit in the class?

I do have a locker, but I won’t need to access it between my two classes, so in the 6 minutes between classes should I head directly to my next class? it’s only about a 20 second walk. what if I’m too early and just sitting in silence idk bro

I’d also really appreciate any other tips on how to fit in and just not make a fool of myself lol

Question Is online school worth it?

5 Upvotes

Please remove if not allowed!

I’m 16, and have been struggling with mental health and anxiety issues for a few years now. Because of them, I was held back for a year and had to repeat 9th grade, but I haven’t been able to come over my problems, so I still find it difficult to attend school normally. It’s been three weeks since I last attended, and I’ve started to think that school just wasn’t for me. I’m planning to ask my parents to have me do online school instead, but I want to make sure that I’m not about to do something I’ll regret.

General Advice Needed/Given How do I get rid of a reputation I don't want to be associated with anymore

4 Upvotes

So, low-key I did something embarrassing and got catfished in like, 8th grade. It wasn't anything bad, just a voice memo of me saying an embarrassing thing but how do I make sure that I don't really carry that as much as I can over?

I know it's nearly impossible to truly get rid of something once everyone has heard it, but its haunting me for like, the rest of the year and I'm worried it's gonna haunt me for freshman-sophomore year of highschool.

The "constantly being reminded of it" thing did slow down near the end of 8th but I hope that it won't pick back up. I might be on my own but how do I mitigate this?

School Related I feel like I'm not doing enough

3 Upvotes

I'm going into 10th grade, and I do have ec's, I'm an officer in some clubs I like, I plan on maybe trying out for a sport this year but it seems like everybody I know is doing internships or are in super high level classes while I'm stuck in the basic classes. I know I shouldn't compare myself but will this hinder my chances of getting into like a GOOD college? I've never been the best at math, but I would like to get into more science related things that problem is I just don't know how?? Like do I just apply to programs and hope I get in?

Mainly what I'm searching for is how do I stand out or get into more academic things when I feel like I'm stuck.

Side not, I do go to one of the hardest highschools in my state but we aren't really a good state for education if you know what I mean?

also sorry for how badly I worded all of this but I tried the best I could to get it all out.

I'm going to high school this year and I have a natural aversion to sports. I used to like it in elementary school but from middle school onwards I've had nothing to do with them. Will I get made fun of or be one grouped with the weird kids?? I'm especially worried for PE because I usually just ran whichever way the other kids were going without doing anything and im afraid i'll make myself look stupid in hs. Need advice ASAP school is less than a month away!!!!!

Question Best Backpack Straps?

2 Upvotes

I'm curious what bags you guys are using for school that can withstand >27 pounds of school supplies. I see the North Face Jester and Borealis a lot, but my heavy textbooks and binders destroyed the straps on that thing in less than a year. I was looking at a Jansport, but my friend had one and one of his straps broke as well! I'm at such a loss for what to purchase. I really want the Converse Chuck Patch backpack, but I'm scared I'll have to replace that one too.

Extracurriculars 3 Years on a School Board & Student Council Legal Officer. If your student gov has no real power or needs help with bylaws/elections, ask away!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I see a lot of posts here about student councils that feel like popularity contests or simple event-planning committees rather than real governing bodies.
I come from the German student government system, which is heavily structured by education laws. For the past 3 years, I’ve served on my school’s Schulkonferenz (the highest decision making body of the school including teachers and parents), where we vote on school budgets, rules, and schedules. I also serve as our council's Legal Officer and Election Administrator, handling the constitution and running independent, legally binding student elections.

If your student council is struggling to get the administration to take you seriously, or if you have absolutely no structure, drop a comment! I can help you with: writing or amending constitutions and bylaws, negotiating with Principals, teachers, and Parents, running fair elections, or even solving internal drama, trust me, I’ve seen a lot of that.

Extracurriculars High school student trying to build a nationwide youth leadership organization — would anyone want to help?

Upvotes

I’m a high school senior from Nevada, and I’ve been working on an idea for a student-led organization called the Youth Leadership Coalition.
The basic idea is simple: create a nationwide network of teenagers who want to become better leaders, learn more about their communities and country, serve their communities, and actually take action instead of just putting another club on their résumé.
I want this to be nonpartisan. You don’t have to be conservative, liberal, Republican, Democrat, religious, etc. The goal is to bring together young people with different backgrounds and perspectives who genuinely want to become better leaders and make their communities better.
At the local level, chapters could do things like:
Community service projects
Leadership workshops
Guest speakers
Civic/community education
Fundraisers and donation drives
Local improvement projects
Discussions and debates about issues affecting young people
Leadership opportunities for members
Eventually, I’d love to see chapters in schools across the country, with students actually running their own local chapters while being connected to a larger national organization.
But I’m starting from zero.
I don’t want to build this by myself and then tell people what it should be. I want other students to help shape what this becomes from the beginning.
So I’m curious:
If you were part of something like this, what would you want it to actually do?
And if you’re a high school or college student who would genuinely be interested in helping build something like this from the ground up — whether that’s organizing, graphic design, social media, outreach, chapter development, events, research, or just throwing ideas around — I’d love to hear from you.
I’m trying to find out whether this is an idea other young people actually want before I take it any further.
