Ah, high school... It can be great, it can be adequate and it can absolutely horrible. I don't want you guys to be living a dreadful 4 years of your life so I'm going to share with you a few do's and don'ts of high school.

Do Pay Attention In Class

I know you've heard this a lot all your life, but it's true.  If you don't pay in class, then it's as if you weren't even there in the first place. Plus, most of the time, everything that your teacher says will be on the test. If you have a hard time paying attention, try looking at the teacher while she talks or take notes. Participating in class can also help.

Do Make Friends

Do Learn Stuff Outside Of School

Do Study Even If You Don't Have A Test

Studying everyday even if it's just for 30 minutes is very important. Sometimes, you forget things you learned in class and you need a little reminder. It would also be a great chance for you to ask your teacher questions if you don't understand something. You can even invite your friends over a couple of times and make if fun!

Don't Date

You can do whatever you want, but I would advise you not to date. First of all, dating is a huge time commitment and you probably won't have enough time for it. Plus, there's a low chance that your high school sweetheart will become something serious since usually at our age, we don't really know what love is. We just experience infatuation.

Don't Get Caught Up In Drama

High schoolers are hungry for drama. I guess that it's a way for us to stay entertained at school. However, it can hurt your friends and other people if they find out that you started a rumour or if you passed it on. Drama is very tiring so don't hangout with people who love it.

Don't Care Too Much About Being Popular

I hope that this doesn't contradict what I said about making friends. I think that in high school, we should make friends without trying too hard on being popular. After all, you're at school to learn so that you can make it somewhere in life. Plus, in a few years, most of the people you met at school won't be important in your life.

 

Don't Drop Out Of School

I know sometimes it can be very hard to come to school every day but don't drop out. Without education, you can't really get a decent paying job. No matter how much you hate school, just remember that you are an important person and it would be horrible if you don't get a full education.
