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"
