The three steps to inner peace.
Step number one: Be yourself. This is highly regarded as the most important step. Never stray from this step. Following the crowd is okay, but make sure to follow your heart first. It'll take you places you have never been before.
Step number two: Forgive and forget. The power to forgive and forget is a treasure to be coveted. Don't let someone get you down or angry, you're just letting them win. Be open to anything someone says, they could be having a bad day, and one wrong word might make it a whole lot worse. Forgive people who attack you, accept (almost) any apology thrown your way, because at least they made the effort to speak with you again and recognize that they wronged you. And that takes a lot of guts and mental power to accept.
Step number three: Never walk off the path of revelation. Make sure you are open to new things around you. A learning opportunity outside of school doesn't come very often, chase after it and accept the challenge. Learning new things could open you up to a lot more about the world and the people. [b]Never[/b] just accept that you know more than someone else, have a nice argument with viable facts and personal experiences, and that'll open you up to learn even more.
That's how I do it at least, any questions?

Don't be afraid to ask others that question too. I do it all the time, even if we're just picking up drinks or something and people disagree. If those around you are unable to properly assess themselves/the situation and appropriate themselves to it, then the problem isn't you. Move on. You don't need to forgive. If you can, then yeah, but it's not wise to forgive any infraction. You open yourself up to be manipulated and used, as tends to happen. The worst part is with a policy like "Forgive and forget", is the forgetting. You won't learn. Don't willingly shoot yourself in the foot because the phrase is catchy and often mispromoted. "If you cant forgive and forget, then how's this: forget forgiving and just accept that that's it." -Scroobius Pip I really like your third step though in particular.
