This is actually a list of rules that I made for my younger sister and fellow underclassmen friends about how to survive high school. So read and take it as you want and maybe comment some of your own advice.
1. It's just high school. If you make good grades and do well you can escape in less than 4 years.
2. Being the most popular in high school isn't a real accomplishment.
3. Don't date in high school. It will either end poorly, end at graduation, or if you are really lucky, like in the top 2% of lucky people, it will end in marriage. The risk isn't always worth it.
4. Constantly try new things and only do things you love. Putting it on your college resume isn't worth the headache and insanity.
5. Surround yourself with people who make you feel good, and keep them there. Good and real friends are hard to come by.
6. Live fearlessly. This is the one time where you can experiment with who you are and its still socially acceptable to almost get arrested.
7. Be a nerd. Being smart is actually cool and don't let anyone tell you otherwise because they suck.
8. Whatever you do, do not do anything permanent to yourself. That piercing/ tattoo is a mistake.
9. Scars are permanent too. Don't give yourself a permanent reminder of pain.
10. Be independent. Relying on parents, teachers, and friends is nice, but they can't run your life.
