If everybody else (family, friends of family, strangers, adults, etc.) survived through high school, so can you. I completely understand how hard it is during the early stages in school. Simply stay calm, and act rationally. You can share your experiences with your friends, it'll create a stronger feeling of connection and divide the pain. Don't stress over it too much, because constant worrying about it won't change anything. Don't be afraid to ask questions, it is not wrong to do so.
