The first day of high school can be a sloppy mix of excitement, social awkwardness and for a lot of us, straight-up fear.

Since there are never any "official" rules on the do's and don't's of the first day of high school, the trusty users of Twitter have come up with their top #tipsforgrade9s.

And even if a lot of the tweets were sarcastic, niners: now you know what not to do.

What would you tell your grade nine self? Let us know in the comments below:
