So, I start high school in a few weeks and I was wondering if anyone has any advice, if so please share, thank you in advance!

Don't let the other high schooler's smell fear, they will eat you alive...
No, not really, just, kinda go along with the flow.
I assure you, the way that they make movies about High school is not how it is.
So just be yourself

Thanks Aryandiani!

Ye Aryandiani is right. It's not like movies but that doesn't mean that there will be no mean kids. So go along with the flow met some new friends and form a company. Being alone at highschool is sad. It will be much better if you have someone with you hanging out and having fun together.

Stay on top of your school work! Your first year of high school won't be so bad as far as work load, but once you're a sophomore/junior the amount of work sky rockets, so make sure you fall behind and that you keep up with everything.
Don't be afraid to ask for help either; whether it's asking about where a room is or if you need help with a certain subject. Asking never does any harm.
It's always good to make friends in grades below and especially above you in addition to your own grade. Friends who are upperclassmen will offer you really good advice whenever you need it. And don't forget to make friends with your teachers too. It sounds weird but it definitely helps in more ways than one.
And lastly, don't lose hope! The going may be tough at first, whether it's grades, harder subjects, making friends, or other complications. Just don't loose sight of your future and always remember to be who you are. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Even if things get hard, remember that it will get better eventually no matter what.
I hope this helped and good luck to ya!


One more thing, be prepared to lose sleep. :P

Leo, I'm already an insomniac. XD

High school is so much better. Everyone is more mature, you have more relaxed relationships with your teachers, and you actually start learning things. Another plus is that a good amount of students stop resorting to petty bullying (but that may just be my school).

Also, join an activity, sport, or club. You'll get an instant group of friends.

1. Don't force yourself to have friends. But become open minded to people. Someone who might be acting strange might have a reason behind it, understand that reason.
2. For each subject, keep a loose leaf folder or those slip pocket ones. Also some loose-leaf sheets as well as a notebook. Do this for every subject. Also use dividers if you need em'. Highlighterrrs.
3. Dictionaries with a thesaurus!
4. Join sports and clubs
5. Figure out the rest cuz life is fun that way.

1. Sleep in class, make your first impression what you really are, a lazy fuck.
2. Listen to the teachers, going against them gets you nowhere.
3. Be talented in academics.

>>9
Make sure you're seated in a good spot if you want to sleep.
Not the last row seats, maybe 2-3 rows from the last.
Also if you want to chew some candies during class make sure you know how to hide it.

>>9 >>10 the main reason that you three made it to my list of "entertaining Dollars"

>>1 make sure that you have the same interest as you nominated friends..

just be what you want to be... i think..

I hang out with 3 people during lunch.
First guy, that white guy who has lots of Asian friends.
Second guy, that really rich white kid.
Third guy, that guy which gets bullied(?) but that rich guy.

What you learn from this:
Even if you're a bullied kid, you can still hang out with people.
Don't hide what you're doing, though make sure you don't stand out and get bullied.

>>12 do asians really have that much of a .... idk a thing .. that makes other races annoyed and then bully them??

is it because asians were always portrayed as nerds in movies??

Oh.. I should post this on Philosophy group.

>>13
Depending on which Asian you are.
Japanese, possibly the most polite people in the world.
Chinese, talk a few decibels too loud.
Indonesians, fucking no manners.
etc.
*Disclaimer: very broad stereotyping which may or may not be true

One thing we got in common is our cultures and education are really strict by Western standards.

>>14 Pretty much.

>>13 No, most asians don't have that aura, only that really dumb half-asian that can't speak his asian parent's language.

>>14 What about Malaysians? I gotta know this from an Asian feline's perspective...

>>16
No idea. Never really interacted with Malaysians.
Either they're really subtle or they're laying low.
Based from what I've heard from my country though they're really sensitive. (Malaysia and Indonesia, two peas in a pod.)

ehh.. I belong the islands of philippines.. and I describe us as.. hospitable and a bunch of self-praising idiots..

but nobody really cares so.. breh

>>18
You people suck at dota.
You're also the number 1 most hated people in the dota community.

>>19 i dont play dota.. and I hate Dota players here.. they're fucking rude... In computer shops, they dont let other customers go youtube because they lag. I personally think they deserve being hated. XD

>>19 you really shouldn't say that all of them suck,it's just that all the people that play DOTA are kids here in the Philippines and are really foul mouthed reflecting the parent's personality and how they teach their kids,I know cause we have an internet cafe here in Ph and almost all our customers are kids during weekends we're thinking of banning kids from playing,If you tried playing at midnight at SEA server you might encounter Filipinos that are well mannered and play well >>20 That shop isn't managed well a good shop should have at least bandwidth limiters so the players can't use that reason anymore and yeah Most DOTA players here in ph are rude mostly cause they are kids and some adults act like one.>>1 You should try to be yourself although it might not work well if you are pressured or nervous so try to be calm and try to make friends on the 1st day (worked well during group activities XD)
