Thank you for reminding me of my favorite Fallout 3 quote.

My serious advice, high school is a place for you to grow and mature, your opinions too change, think in different ways, etc, so never dismiss somebody, never create a definite opinion without a lot of learning. Basically, keep an open-mind.

High school is not as big and scary as you see in media, or as people tell you - academically or socially. You'll ease into it. Don't feel pressured, and do what you want to do.
Most importantly - have fun. Of course it sucks sometimes, but it's a great time to dick around with your friends.

How old is 9th grade? 17, or something?

You don't need a lot of friends. A few good ones will do.
