Ahhhh, high school. The awkward years. And for me,
they’re almost over. But for some (or many) of you, you’re still going. Maybe
with 4 years to go or 4 months to go. I hate school and somehow I have less than 2 weeks
left and then I never have to go back! YAY!
The worst things about high school are the people.
Teachers are the worst. Students are the worst. The classes are the worst. So
here’s how to get through with average grades and maybe a few friends if you’re
lucky.
1.
Don’t
take it for granted. Once you leave you probably won’t stay with the friends
you have now. Remember that.
2.
Grades
are NOT the most important thing in the world. They do NOT define you. Try your
best and if you get a D then whatever. You get an A, great. Everyone’s
different and the school system of grading doesn’t always show how capable you
are.
3.
If
you want something, go for it. Don’t sit in the background letting it pass you
by. If you want to get into a certain university, do it. There is nothing
stopping you. If you like that boy or girl, go for it. “If not now, then when?”
4.
You
will come across so many different people. From different countries and
different lifestyles. Just because they’re different doesn’t mean they deserve
to be disrespected. So treat everyone equally whether they’re girls, boys,
straight, gay, black, white, Asian, English, fat or thin.
5.
Being
popular shouldn’t be your life goal. Everyone will forget about you whether
you’re the hottest person there or the shyest. Just because they’re popular
doesn’t mean they’re perfect or happy. Give up; popularity doesn’t matter. It’s
taken me 5 years to understand this.
6.
Don’t
compare your self to anybody. You’ll end up feeling crappy and insecure.
7.
Bullying
is so common and there’s no way to avoid it. I remember how easily bullied I
was in the first few years. Even before high school. I think it shaped me into
the person I am today. If someone says a bad word about you; then you don’t
need him or her in your life.
8.
Don’t
be shy. If you feel uncomfortable, say something. If you feel upset, tell
someone. Make friends. It’s that easy, I promise.
9.
I know right now this teacher is the
biggest asshole/bitch in the world. But you’ll run into them in 3 years and
realize they are a genuine, caring person and regret treating them so rudely
and with such disrespect. Give them a chance.
10.
Music is your friend. It will help you
through any situation. If you don’t want to talk to someone, plug your
headphones in. Easy.
11.
Study even though you HATE it so, so
much. Do your homework. Even if in a year it won’t matter whether you
remembered to practice that equation, it matters now. So do it.
12.
Number
twelve, the last one. 12 because of twelve years of schooling. Here goes, this
is an important one.
Be nice to people. Incase you didn’t know, being mean
to people doesn’t get you anywhere. And everyone at high school is going
through the same thing, so be nice and hopefully they’ll be nice back.
