How to survive high school.

As said in my last post, I just started school today. I just realized I'm not the only one, so I thought it would be a good idea to make a list of how to survive high school. After all, it's my sixth year and my fourth school I'm at.

- Get to know as many people as possible. It's good to know what's going on at school
- Make sure the teachers like you. You'll get away with much more than you would if they don't
- Make friends. Walk up to strangers, talk with them. They could be friends you haven't met yet.
- Do your homework, show interest, ask a lot of questions.
- You're at school to graduate and move on. Keep that in mind.
- Don't involve yourself in the drama's. It costs to much energy
- Have fun and be yourself. If people don't like you, it's their problem, not yours.
- Be nice to the new kids, walk up to them, show them around. They'd appreciate it
- If you have trouble with a subject, tell the teacher. Most of them would be glad to help.
- If you get to much homework, make it with a friend. Let one do the even numbers and the other the uneven. Then copy each others work.
- Make notes during the classes.
- If one of your classmates is sick during a class, offer them to copy your notes. It will help you make friends.
- Don't let people take advantage of you

Just remember, in a few years you'll leave, lose most friends you had, build up a completely new life. In the end your social status won't matter, but your graduation will.
