It has little to do with dating in high school per se, and more to do with the marrying of high school sweethearts.

 

Disagree. It has to do with people marrying who aren't ready for marriage yet. The two categories sometimes overlap, but they're not the same.

 

Another tip from the expert: If your friend takes your girlfriend, try and forgive him, at least try to forgive him

 

Depends on the situation. In some cases I'd disagree. Depends on time of relationship, how you feel about her, how he steals her, etc.

I'm gonna address some important things to me, and just kind of leave the rest to everyone else. I think this has already been covered, but if you want to preserve who you are, as well as set yourself up for personal growth in the long run, ignore or actively repudiate social grouping. Peer pressure, cliques, and ignorance born from the whole "we're better than you because we're (insert shallow group here)" thing simply does not matter.

 

At all.

 

The best thing you can do for yourself is be who you want to be, not allow yourself to be sucked into social fads, but go by your instinct and your tastes. Be an individual, and you'll be happier with who you are in the long run. Also, conforming is just plain wrong, but more importantly, when you're who you want to be, you'll have a better life. Make friends based on their personalities and intellects, not based on what they look like or who they hang out with. Push yourself to meet your goals, and rely only on yourself when possible, but, when the time comes that you just need a shoulder to cry on, good friends are an excellent insurance policy.

 

When it comes to schoolwork, sooner rather than later is a mantra you should live by. Now, I'm not going to tell you that procrastination is wrong, because that'd be hypocritical, but I will tell you that unless you are excessively talented at doing things in a rush with little to no time, you'd better just get it done instead of waiting for the day it's due. It minimises stress and keeps you sane. Plus, you have more free time with less worry. Talk to teachers and make friends when possible, but don't be a suckup with a teacher you don't like unless you absolutely have to, because he's biased with his grades. Nothing is worth your dignity except your future.

 

Also, take it seriously. If you blow high school off and treat it as unimportant, you will be a loser for the rest of your life, I can assure you of that. These are the grades that will dictate what college you go to, which will dictate how impressive your resume is, which will dictate what career you end up in to earn a proper living. Treat it as useless, and you'll end up in your mom's basement while she supports you for the rest of your natural born life. You aren't going to be a rock star, or a movie star, or an actor/actress right out of high school. Get real, and start working your ass off.

Okay, tips:

Be funny, and gain friends.

Carry all of your books in you're backpack, it will be heavy, but I did it, and it made me stronger, and better, and don't worry, you get used to it pretty fast. (It's also good when you just want to slam someone in the face with the weight, not that I encourage fighting!)

Take some deoderant with you, and some mints, nobody wants to smell your reek, especially after gym class.

WASH YOUR HANDS!!!!!!!! Nobody wants to shake hands or anything with a guy who's fingernails are unnaturally black because their full of dirt.

NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER LET YOU'RE FRIENDS MEET YOU'RE PARENTS.

It's like a huge part in the whole thing.

Play a sport, any sport that involves a ball, except the boring sports: Crocket (misspell?) Tennis, or Golf, I think that the sports are slightly fun, but the youngin's don't seem to care for them :whacked: but sports like soccer, baseball, or football seem to be okay. They're good ways to meet people, make friends, or get girls *wink wink*

GET ON THE TEACHER'S GOOD SIDE

LIKE, FOR REALS.

Those are just some tips.

This depends on your friends and your parents. :p Most of my friends have met my parents, and I've never had any problems with it.

Not necessarily a sport, but extracurricular stuff is important. I myself advocate the band above any sports teams, as most jocks tend to be self important, chauvinistic jerks.

and always date grades above, never below.

Smells like a girl-oriented advice.

 

I mostly date below grades, especially considering the majority of the girls I've studied with are, for some reason, rotten. I don't mind dating them once, but more than that and it gets annoying, they're like empty shells.

 

And no, I'm not hanging out with the wrong kind of girl.

Later in school once you know people, clubs that require little commitment are wonderful places to plan parties with large groups of friends and hit on chicks. If anyone things that the "officer meetings" of my german club that only include a couple of the officers and most of the seniors and happen friday and saturday nights are actually club related, theyre idiots.

And if youre a senior guy, dont date a freshman. Its shady and everyone you know will make fun of you behind your back.

Aren't you concerned about anosmia?

 

Nah, Imipenem, hasn't been associated with anosmia :)

 

 

 

And hey, about my advice, I wasn't serious about the whole shovel part. I was serious however about if you are getting bullied, and it gets bad, hit the loudest one. Usually the "leader".

It doesn't prove that you're just as cowardly as they are, it proves to them and yourself that you are willing to take a stand when you have to. Don't let people drag you down.

 

I've been there before .. I was bullied for all of Primary School and most of High School because I listened to Heavy Metal, or I was the fat kid of the group, or just because I was a little different from most of the other people at the school.

 

If you take a stand make sure that their "bullying" is not going to get to you, then you've done the right thing in my opinion. Just don't let it go to your head or most likely, you're going to end up being the exact same type of bully as they are. You don't want to be that guy....

 

...There, I've said what I needed to say. If some people wish to scold me for what I said, then so be it. They can. I'm not going to worry because my views are different than theirs. And yes, sometimes violence isn't the answer. You can most likely, nearly always, talk your way out of it.

But there is always a small chance that you WON'T be able to talk your way out.

But as I said ... Don't go letting that ego go to your head. You'll end up just like the ones that you hated in the first place.

 

Anyways ... Last couple of things: ... Have fun. Study your ass off. And just remember that High School can sometimes get you down, but if you realize that old cliche: "Tomorrow is another day," then you'll be just fine. :)

 

 

PS: Oh, and don't do drugs.

  • Stay away from AP Chemistry! That class is killing my GPA (A's and B+'s, 'cept for a C+ in Chem.)
  • Don't try for a 4.0, that right there -if you're not naturally talented in a school way- will add so much stress to your life that it just isn't worth it!
  • When you get home from school, do your homework! I've sluffed off on this rule lately, and it's pretty obvious in some of my homework.
  • As other's have said, USE THE STUPID PLANNER!!!
  • If you're already stressed out, don't add going out with somebody to the list. You may get made fun of it, but it's simply not worth it in the short run.
  • Think both Long term and short term, not just one or the other.
  • Don't be purely reactionary or proactive, a healthy mix works just as well.
  • Get into as many "Honor's" courses as you can.
  • If you require a teacher recommendation to get into an honors math course, but your teacher won't give it to you and you know that you can do it talk to other teachers who know you and your skills.
  • If you're in a three-year high school (10th, 11th and 12th) get involved in clubs in 10th grade, if in a four-year, do it in 9th grade.
  • Take interesting classes over easy classes, the interesting will become easier because you're actually interested in it as opposed to Basket Weaving 101.
  • Please, please, please, please, please DON'T USE TEXTING LANGUAGE IN PAPERS! I've seen kids who I thought were rather smart accidental do it.
  • Never work with someone dumber than yourself.
  • Never work with a friend on a project unless you can just work on the project instead of screw around all day. (NOT that type of 'screwing')
  • Don't be afraid to hurt other kid's feelings in pursuit of your grade. Only your grade should matter to you, not Joe's.
  • Remember, in Chemistry there is an exception for every d*** rule ever created!!!
  • Don't apply Chemistry to Physics, you'll put your hand in your pocket and step on it!
  • Make friends.
  • Make sure said friends are smarter than you in areas, this will help so much!
  • Learn trivia, while this isn't essential, it helps lighten the mood.

 

This is all I can think of off the top of my head... but this got me through my Sophmore year... except for the Chemistry parts, I added those this year. (Junior)

Then you're outta luck.

 

[*]Take 4 years of a foreign language, most colleges require this.

[*]French programs are the most likely of the top 3 (Spanish, French and German) to get cut.

[*]GUM (Grammar, Usage and Mechanics) is arguably the second most important thing to pay attention to in an English paper.

[*]Make as many connections in your papers as you can!

[*]If you're going to do a lighthearted essay that is supposed to be funny, make sure that the Teacher is okay with this before your spend several hours on it.

[*]Read. This cannot be stressed enough, but people who read more achieve more.

[*]Romance novels do not count.

[*]Prioritize your homework in terms of how long you have to get it done. Do the stuff that is due soonest and then move on to the others.

[*]It is easier to stay up all night than it is to get up crazy early in the morning after staying up late.

[*]If it's 4:30 AM and school starts at 7:30, DO NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES WITHOUT HAVING DRUNK SOME FORM OF CAFFEINE!

[*]Skipping school is stupid.

[*]Cutting classes doubly so.

[/List]

 

That's what I could came up with now...

 

Earlier post is edited to correct several GUM and factual issues.

I just don't agree with that. Relationships should be more important than a physical connection you get from a short, shallow small-talk session with a girl you don't even know. If you really want to meet a girl, meet her, talk with her, get to know what her tastes and personality are like, develop a companionship that isn't necessarily romantic before-hand, and you'll be much happier with the person you end up dating. Much happier.

 

And if youre a senior guy, dont date a freshman. Its shady and everyone you know will make fun of you behind your back.

 

First off, it's best just to not give a flying **** whether or not someone says something behind your back. People will do it one way or another, because teenagers, save for the scant few exceptions, are pricks. Don't let what they think or what they say about you mean squat, and it won't. People who gossip tend to be those on the upper teir of high school heirarchies, and also those who tend to end up failing miserably at real life.

 

If you find a strong emotional connection with a girl, age shouldn't matter, except when it crosses into legal territory, and even then, just keep it away from the physical stuff until they're old enough to participate in that. If you're really mature enough to handle a relationship, then you'll pick a girl that's just as mature regardless of what she looks like, how old she is, or who she hangs around with. And if you're both mature and responsible, there's nothing to hide or be afraid of. Screw those pigs gossiping behind your back, they don't have the guts to say it to your face, they don't deserve the dignity involved in you recognising their existence.

 

And, on a totally unrelated note, OH MY GOD MAGIC SCHOOLBUS!
