Starting high school, any advice?

I'm heading into 9th grade starting tomorrow. I'm very nervous and insecure about my body. I'm afraid people will laugh at me behind my back because I'm not skinny. Any advice on starting high school?

you know, i felt much like you going into hs. i wish i knew then what i know now. no one can hurt you unless ou let them. you are so much better than anyone who may joke about you. hold your head high and ignore them. Learn your self worth for you do have much to be proud of and accept yourself. as a teen everything seems like a matter of life and death, but give it a few years and it will get so much better.
