Contrary to what many will think, 9th grade was the start of a brand new school life and identity. It was the grade of redemption, where you can make new and better friends, and where you finally have a chance to make better first impressions. If you were unpopular or were a loner back in middle/elementary school, then this definition applies greatly to you.
Just think about it. Now that you are in a huge school made up of 5 different middle schools (and 10+ different elementary schools), now you have another opportunity to introduce yourself in a different manner than before.
Maybe you were an awkward person, had low self-esteem, or were a 'tag-along', and your past classmates therefore thought lowly of you. This time, you can 'right your wrongs' and become that person you've always aspired to be in front of your new peers.
Of course, there's a good chance you'll meet some old classmates again in your courses, but don't let that stop you. Your new peers are what matters the most.
Remember, how you act in this grade will define you in the coming 4 years, so carefully premeditate your first impressions!

Old high school peer: Remember 9th grade? I hated it.
Me: Are you kidding? 9th grade was the shit! Made so many new friends in that year, and I gave off a more sociable and confident demeanor compared to my awkward middle school years. Sure, it may be harder than 8th grade, but compared to 10, 11, 12 it was a breeze! It really all depends on how you look at it.

1. A time in life everyone tries to forget. It usually involves acting totally different than you actually are. Sometimes people think they have superpowers or think that they are super cool. No matter what case of 8th grade syndrome it is, people will never want to remember it.
Guy: Remember back when you had eighth grade syndrome you thought you had superpowers and were destined to save the world.
Guy 2: I was trying to forget those dark times.

Get the eighth grade syndrome mug.The grading scale for an Asian student is typically different from that of the average American student.
When you're a normal American:
A: Stands for "AWESOME" you're doing great.
B: Above average, you're still doing good
C: Average.. you could be doing better, but you're slacking
D: Below average, you're slipping, but you can still make it up is you try
F: Well, you just failed, didn't you. No need to really explain that.
---
Now, when you're ASIAN, it's A LOT different. "A" no longer stands for "awesome" anymore.
A : stands for "average" - anything below that is pretty unacceptable to your parents.
B : stands for "bad" - you're already at a below average cause all the other Asians and getting A's!
C : stands for "crap" - you're doing terrible and your parents will be pissed. They'll probably spank you or ground you, and you'll be sent to your room without dinner that night. If you DO have dinner that night, the topic to be discussed at the table is how disappointed everyone everyone is with you. This will be followed by comparisons to you and your successful siblings, cousins or fellow Asian students. That's right, your parents know every other Asian kid in your school even if you aren't friends with them. That's because your parents are friends with theirs and their parents like to brag. Bastards.
D : stands for "death" - your parents will threaten to kill you. They will not hesitate to beat the crap outta you, and when they're tired, they'll send you to your room, but once they've regained their energy they'll go into your and continue to yell and insult you. They'll take away your things (laptop, games mp3, phone, ect.) and even if pull up your grades by the next semester, you won't get them back until the semester after that. Oh yeah, you will be labeled as an embarrassment.
F : stands for "FUCKED!" Not ONLY will your parents beat the shit outta you, they'll probably make a call to your relatives in (china, korea, philippines, etc, where ever they're from) and start looking for plane tickets online. That's right, you will be sent out of the country cause your parents can't even stand to look at you anymore.

Asian: shit, my grades suck this semester
Friend: what are you talking about? You got A's, B's, and a C.
Asian: yeah, but on the asian grading scale that means I'll get about 2 and a half beatings and I probably won't be able to see daylight on the weekends...
