Toast/Envelope

Wear a Post-It on your forehead saying [quote]Insert Intelligence Here[/quote] on the first day.

1. Keep up the good grammar, improve it in your free time as well. When you do papers/assignments and whatnot, grammar gets graded, although it's just for English class. Even out of english you good grammar. 2. If you get a significant other, chances are it won't last out of high school, I'm sorry. I do have a close friend who has a kid with his girlfriend who he's been dating since middle school, so there's a slight chance, just don't get your hopes too high. 3. Make friends with older kids, they're more mature, and fun to be around. 4. Respect the staff. The staff at your school will (hopefully) be nice and respectful to you right away. At my school all the teachers are 110% committed to the students. Meet your teachers halfway, and they'll go the extra mile for you at times. 5. [OPTIONAL] I'm assuming you want to drive? Do it, have your parents pay for drivers Ed if they can. Being able to drive will help you out in the long run, wether it be with going on dates, work, or hanging web the pals. 6. Don't bring a speaker to school and play your music through it. At my school, EVERYONE is issued an iPad, so they go to a music streaming app, but and play really loud hip-hop through a speaker. The music isn't bad, it's the fact that their music is loud and disrupting classes, and I don't want to hear it. Besides all that, stick to your guns, and be quiet, don't be loud. Soon you'll be a senior, probably wanting to get the hell out.

Franku will explain everything you need to know.

Don't be one of those freshmen who run to class u have time:)

Don't slack off. If you plan on attending college you should aim for at minimum a 3.5 cumulative GPA. This will typically be enough to get a few merit based scholarships (My final GPA of 3.8 got me high honors as well as a $14,000 scholarship to Texas Tech). Relationships are secondary. You do not need a boy/girlfriend. Getting laid in high school should not be a priority. Do something extra-curricular. Whether it's a sport, club, or job, do something outside the minimum. It sticks out on resumes and is a great way to build your initial social circle in school. Treat teachers like the humans they are. Even if you hate a teacher with all your being using simple honorifics will typical earn their favor and make them more lenient towards you and your behavior. Do not become an academic or emotional crutch. Many times someone doing poorly in class will ask for help. Do so gladly but never let them copy your work. It endangers not only their well-being but your's as well. You may encounter depressed people, (I was apparently everyone's go-to guy for talks about suicide) try to cheer them up if you can, but the moment they start cutting themselves or becoming destructive report it to the counselors immediately. Attempt AP classes. Even if you do not pass the final they boost your GPA and are usually much more fulfilling. I learned more in my AP Lit class than the rest of high school and is the only reason I can write a coherent essay. Don't do drugs. This is not the DARE program. People will almost never truly pressure you into drugs (Dealers excluded). They typically will ask if your interested in participating but a simple no will usually suffice (No one wants to waste drugs on someone who doesn't enjoy them). Break a few rules! Don't go committing felonies but my group of 4-5 hoodlums loved to trespass (Never vandalized anything just explored) into abandoned areas. I still remember exploring an old onsen at 11pm and it was very enjoyable. Blow off steam in a way that doesn't harm others. Don't -blam!- with your parents. Be a goody-two-shoes in their eyes. It will allow you to benefit later in your high school life (car access, later curfew, etc.). Don't make enemies. Don't participate in gossip and try to stay at least neutral with everyone. High school is nothing like the movies. It's mainly people sticking with their own cliques and minding their own business. Bullying isn't as bad as it's made out to be and if you are confronted record it. Avoid mentioning your grade. Freshmen are practically invisible to upper classmen. Avoid mentioning anything that may give your grade level away (age, math level, etc.) Once you are a Junior or Senior this becomes unnecessary. My perception of high school may be skewed as I didn't go to one in the states.
