Oh no..
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Always...ALWAYS take a math class.
Do not say "I'm never gonna need this!" you will always need it. From math to art, even literature is affected by math in some way, and you;re going to need it when you take a 'Math Ideas' course in college.

If you have a desire to be a designer take an art class ASAP. Know you're limitations now so you can expand on them.

Don't take film class unless you partner yourself with someone who has a car.

Movies lie, nodbody is having that much sex in High School. Seriously, wait until your in college, at least.

Never let bullies get to you, remember, in 10 years time, you'll probably their boss, their manager, or their parol officer.

I know there might not be many soon-to-be freshmen on here, but if there are, here's some tip to make sure you survive:

1. First and foremost, these are NOT the best years of your life. High School isn't like Dazed and Confused, or Porky's, or any of those high school movies from the eighties. Also, it's not like High School Musical. (I cannot stress the last part enough)

2. As bad as this sounds, try making friends with at least one teacher. A Teacher Confident can be your best asset when another teacher decides to start **** with you. (And believe it, this has happened to me. One teacher went so far as to lie to my mother to cover his sorry ass)

3. Friends are a necessity. They're much better than a Teacher Confident with certain issues. If one is a girl you happen to like (And this is a huge point) pay special attention to her. Young might end poorly, but so can any relationship. You'll learn volumes about relationships, too.

4. Here's a good tip: If you can do sports, there's probably a Freshman team for any sport at the school. Do this. If you aren't any good at sports, but excel at computers, try doing tech support. A guy I went to school with makes buttloads of cash because he practiced computers while fixing up other people's. This way, you'll make friends. (Either your teammates, or grateful people with computers)

5. If your school has a free Driver's Training Program, take it ASAP. (Which'll probably be Sophomore year) Even if your parents won't buy you a car (Which means you'll have to work for it, one of the best lessons my parents ever taught me), you'll still be ready to get one when you have the cash. (A car isn't as nice when you don't have a license to drive)

6. Here's a tip: Take notes on everything your teacher says. Doesn't matter if he/she let's you use the book on tests, or if he/she doesn't allow notes on tests. Writing it down will etch it into your brain. I learned this after many, many 'F's.

7. Nerds, remember, there is an alliance between Nerds/Geeks, emos, and goths. And the classification will NOT be apparent. (Emos are NOT what the media says. I had an emo friend, she was very hyper and happy, oh, and a cutter)

8. Don't jump into conversations with a weird quote. Ever. It will only end in shame.

9. Most men play video games, I kid you not. But BE WARNED, they are generally not serious gamers like us. They play whatever game is popular at the time. Gears of War, Madden, Halo. If you end up in a conversation with one of these guys, be careful which games you mention. Pokemon is, of course, off-limits. Zelda can be awkward, especially to the uninitiated. (Most people don't know that you play as Link, not Zelda)

10. Watch what you say, and how you say it. Tone and words can be easily mocked.

11. Compared to Junior High/Middle School, you'll be up against roughly three times as many people. You can try knowing everyone, but there was 1500 people at my high school.

12. If you're in special ed (For whatever reason. It can range from incompetency, to underestimation, to emotional instability.) DON'T! TELL! ANYONE! EVER! If you have to, just say it's "Retarded math." Very likely, people will assume you mean you hate your math class.

13. English teachers are naturally cool. I can't explain why, but I've had a blast in every English class I had.

14. Don't take Health unless it's a required course. They are purely bullshit artists. (No one ever overdosed on Marijuana, and it doesn't turn you sterile unless you smoke the seeds)

That's about all I've got for now. Anyone want to add anything? By all means, go ahead.

EDIT: here's another:

15. Creative Writing and Philosophy can be really cool classes. I highly suggest them.


I actually had a great time in high school.

I had lots of friends, went to parties, played sports, and guess what....I WAS A GEEK MUCH LIKE NOW.

Honestly Sman it just sounds like your high school sucks, either that or I've been out of high school way too long.

I did have several teachers and the principal on my side, given the principals son was one of my best friends. So that made things easy on me.

If I were to say anything to kids going into HS....Be respectful to your teachers, see which ones appreciates it and keep doing it. It will make a difference on you and your grades.

The ones who don't seem to reciprocate on the respect.
Fook on them cause their lameos any way, or the type of teachers, I had in some of my high school classes who only cared about who's rear they kissed and the administration, and not the kids.

I had a teacher who I loved and was very well liked by most students, tell me too my face when I went back to visit her. That she was leaving and being pushed out via the administration cause she cared too much.

That there folks is why people can't read who graduate, besides the parents not being around, and for people like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and so on and so forth being the dumb shits they are today.

Education is the key, read, write, do what a teacher says, school will go a lot easier if you just do what you have to do.

A mind is a terrible thing to waist.

ALSO NEVER GIVE INTO PEER PRESSURE! If their your friends they won't care, and if they treat harsh afterwards screw them.

Don't be afraid to be a geek, nerd, and etc....they're some of the nicest people I knew in high school.

ART CLASS IS A GREAT CLASS TAKE IT WHEN EVER YOU CAN!

Why was LG even mentioned.....I mean let the old regime stay dead please.

And Lg has nothing on CB'S list of positives, he was cool when I first joined, and he is still a cool person on here and a good friend.

I have to totally agree with this. If you have the grades for it, this will only help you when you go to college, because the college courses you take in high school will go towards credits earned in college. I knew someone who managed to shave an entire year off of college by doing this. And best of all, it is totally free. Free college.

I had a blast in high school. College, too, but mostly high school. My friends hadn't moved away or moved on, no bills but one car (alas, the gas wasn't free--not everything is :P ), and my body could actually stay awake past 1 a.m. with no problem. Gonig anywhere, doing anything, party every night. The most I had to do was keep up my grades, keep away from drugs, keep up the job, and take out the trash.

Not in my experience. I had one particular English teacher who actually insulted me on a paper I'd taken weeks to write. I felt so low after getting that F back. What a ****. Thanks for trashing my best efforts, Mr. Buck.

For me, it was the history or calculus teachers that were most understanding. I took history in French, and when my history teacher found out I had an impairment that kept me from learning other languages, he let me write my exam in English. My calculus teacher told me, on graduation, that, if they gave out awards for effort (like they do for top of class, etc.) he'd have given me one. I knew just as well then as I do now that efforts don't count in a results-oriented world, but that quick statement meant a lot to me just the same.
