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?

Don't even sweat it, honestly. Everything changes. You're friends especially. Every kid from your elementary school will try and be your friend so they know someone in their classes, and overall popularity kind of disappears. Everyone is just friends. And no one will make fun of you if you aren't skinny honestly. There is one girl in my grade who is kind of bigger and shes really friendly with everyone. She's so cool.
