A student in their first year of high school or college. In high school, freshmen are typically afraid on their first day, and throughout the first week, always get lost. I'm currently a freshman, and I got lost many times, but it really didn't take me that long to get used to the school. A freshman's worst enemy is the senior. Mostly, seniors are out to make fun of, prank, bully, or even 'own' a freshman, by making claims on one. At my school, most seniors and other upperclassmen are pretty respectful to us freshmen, thankfully. Some freshmen, like myself, hold great respect for our older peers, but I don't really see the point of bullying freshmen. Weren't they freshmen once, or were they born a senior/junior? What I hate even more are the sophomores who make fun of us. They were a freshman three months earlier, lol. Well, so anyway, most freshmen think they're all cool owning the middle school the year before, then reality hits when they go to high school the first day. But for me and many others, we are humble and mostly quiet, and rarely speak around the upperclassmen, and stay as respectful as possible- earning their respect is essential to high school survival. Freshmen should only talk when needed, and don't start a conversation with an upperclassman unless they're talked to first, because you never want to annoy one.
Example 1 (Freshman's Stupidity):

Freshman: "The first day of school. I'm gonna go say hi to the seniors."
*to seniors*: "Hi, friends!"
*freshman thrown in dumpster*

Example 2 (Freshman's Respect):
Senior: "Yo, you a freshman"
Freshman: *respectfully nods*
Senior: *notices this freshman is not outspoken and respectful* "Cool"

A first-year student of high school or college. However, this term is usually used to refer to a freshman of high school. They are considered unworthy by some upperclassmen(usually these people are morons). Freshmen usually stick together in groups and start to mature. However, some freshmen are imbeciles who are sex-obsessed, immature, or just plain stupid. Some of they stay that way for the next three years in high school or even become jocks.
Sophomore 1: Hey, it's a freshman. Let's go jump him.

Junior: Why?

Sophomore 1: Uhh...I dunno.

Junior: Moron...

A 9th grader who is scared shitless during the first week of High school because they were the tallest, smartest, most tallented, rulers of their school just 3 months before, and are now skinny little runts who tend to get jumped and shoved into trash cans or lockers.
Usually freshmen are treated like vermin for 183 days of the first year in their high school career unless they have an overprotective boyfriend or brother in an upper class or magically make it onto a varsity sports team, cheer squad, or do color guard.
guy 1: Dude look! I found a little pack of freshmen, lets jump em!
guy 2: Isn't that freshman Jake's girlfriend? I wouldn't mess with her or any of her friends if I were you.
guy 1: No way! Thanks for telling me, I would have been so fucked!

A poor student in grade 9 who's intelligence and competance is always underestimated. The older grades and sometimes teachers will not rest until this students soul has been sucked out slowly through their teeth.

The older students and teachers will pass this off as good fun, but that is a pathetic excuse. They could be smarter or more mature than some of the other students, but it dosen't matter just because of their grade.
Older student: Hey, look, it's a happy, motivated freshman!
Other students: Get em!

The most annoying class in high school. Most freshman think they are the shit, always traveling in large groups, being as loud as possible. Many of the freshman girls are thots trying to get dick from upperclassmen. Since most of the juniors and seniors reject them, they go after the sophmore boys. These girls believe they’re the hottest at school and dress like total sluts, wearing the tightest possible pants with a shirt that barely covers their chest. Many of the fights at school are also caused by these hoes, typically over a guy whose cheated with them both. The guys in this grade are also obnoxious. They believe they are all that, although most of them can’t even make above the c-team. They act like assholes to most girls in the school and have the “douchebag” look. They act like they are the kings of the school even though upperclassmen just laugh at them. They also believe the older girls want to fuck them, and are just on the search for a girl desperate enough to give them pussy. This class loves to walk like fucking turtles through the halls and leave no room for people to get past. Although most freshman suck dick, there are a few diamonds in the rough. It’s rare to find the nice, respectful freshman out there, so once you do hold on tight. By the end of freshman year, most of these shits have matured to the point where they are ready to stop most of the bs and continue to sophomore year.
Junior: Look at that pack of Freshman walking down the hall.
Senior: Could they move any fucking slower, the bell’s about to ring.
Junior: Excuse me, can you guys let us though?
Freshman: Shut the fuck up!
Senior: What’s their damn problem?
Junior: I can’t belive we ever used to be freshman.

A terrible, terrible thing. Most freshmen are okay, but there are a few who ruin the reputation.

Freshman 1: Normal person, either is friendly or doesn't talk to the upperclassmen

Freshman 2: Is annoying af, acts like they own the world, usually a self-centered vsco girl who wants to hook up with all the seniors. A disgrace to life. Usually a teacher's child or rich daddy's girl
Upperclassmen: Ew a freshman
Freshman 1: hi
Upperclassmen: oh you're not that bad
Freshman 2: outta my way hottie! hey, wanna hook up?
Upperclassmen: NVM all freshies SUCK
