Okay, bit of background first, i got into the competing marching band at the high school, so I go to band camp everyday. It was there that I discoverd I was in a Section where I was the only freshman (the other girl dropped out) in the middle of 8 older, more experienced guys who do nothing but practice their damn saxaphone.

Unfortunatly for me...I spent most of my summer attempting to get a life (still don't have one) so I ended up wasting my time and not practicing or leanring any of my music. Therefore They are better than me.

So here's my question: How Do I survive in on of the school's roughest and most prestigious program in the middle of older upperclassmen who are all male and all a helluva lot better than me?

and another: how they hell am i supposed to survive high school as a freshman in the first place?!

well first of all it isn't that bad in highschool trust me, secondly it's your own fault for not practising

The freshmen class at my high school this year all acted like they fucking owned to place and so we, the upperclassmen, tooled on them as much as we possibly could. So, the trick to not getting tooled on is to NOT act like a little shit.

Okay, that probably wasnt any help but I had to say it.

Practice. Now.

And don't let the guys know that you are aware that they're better than you. I'm not saying you should act like you are the greatest, but a little bit of confidence never hurt anyone.

All freshmen die in high school, didn't you know that?

when i was a freshman we acted like we were the shit because we were the shit. the upperclassmen would try and hurt us in football practice but they could not because we had our own team. secondly, we had all the talent, so they needed us. even in the off season, when we would play flag football they stooped down to some cheap things, but in the end we ALWAYS prevailed because they were truely inferior.

as for advice for my wn niece....NO, GET SOMEONE ELSE TO GIVE YOU ADVICE.

At my school that wasn't the case at all; the freshmen are ALL talk.

And remember: the purpose of high school is to make you feel as bad about yourself as is absolutely possible.

Or you can just not care, and have an entire happy and enjoyable experience... hanging around these parts you wouldn't know it was possible, but it's quite easy.

Did you go to high school in Peterborough?

nope... Welland.

Right, you go to Trent then?

Indeed I do.

Why Jim? Why?

Because it's an awesome school. Trust me, I think Brock is horrible, but that's just cause I live 5 mins from it, and so I'm used to it.
