Advice from somebody that's been there and done that just a few years ago (so you know my advice is relevant). This is mostly general life advice rather than girl advice. I give this advice so that it might prevent some of you from making the same mistakes I made. Take this advice seriously and you will be doing things better, avoid making some known mistakes and you will be happy for it.
Joe The Homophobe's High School Advice
1. The best advice that I was given in high school is the following, "why try to act a certain way to try to impress people that you probably won't see again after high school"
That is the best advice there is. Why do you try to act cool, why do you try to dress like a trend follower, why do you try to be something you're not just to impress immature guys and princess wannabe b1tches that you might not see ever again after you're done with high school? unless you live in a small town and stay there, you won't see most of those people. If you live in a city and plan to go to college you will definitely not see most of the kids you knew in high school. So why do you try so hard to impress those people? It is better that you realize that now before it is too late. You will finish high school and when you join the real world you won't be seeing most of the people you knew in HS and you will end up lonely and depressed. Don't cling on those people, they are only temporary there for you. The people you meet after high school are the ones that will matter for the rest of your life.
Stop trying to impress people and instead try to become an individual with his own set of goals and morals, rather than another mtv watching/baggy pant wearing "cool" high schooler with a cell phone.
2. HAVE FUN! HIGH SCHOOL YEARS ARE YOUR GOLDEN YEARS, SO STOP BEING A COWARD AND GET GIRLS!: Some will disagree with this but to me and most people high school are the golden years. Why is high school the golden years? because you do not yet have adult responsibilities such as having a full time job for paying for your car/car insurance/rent and tons of other bills. Your parents take care of you during high school and your only real responsibility is doing well in school. High school is the time to have fun with your friends. High school is the time most guys get their first girlfriend. High school is the time for great memories before the full time job adulthood kicks in. Don't be a coward and have fun. Go to parties, hang out after school, just plain have fun. Kill your inner AFC self now before it is too late and get yourself some girlfriends. Get your first girlfriend now rather than being an AFC still after you are done with high school.
I know people that didn't have fun/didn’t get a girlfriend during high school. They basically wasted their golden years and they know it and feel awful. They regret it for the rest of their lives. Those are years you can't get back. I know there are people in the high school forum right now that are in this same situation. My only words of advice is to change now or regret if for the rest of your lives. Take this very seriously you still have time on your side and only YOU can prevent wasting away your golden years.
3. STOP ACTING IMMATURE AND CHILDISH NOW, RATHER THAN LATER: There is nothing adults hate more than high schoolers. There is nothing I hate more than taking the bus, going by the high school, and a bunch of loud, annoying, obnoxious kids get on the bus talking loud on their cellphones trying to act cool and hip. What used to be a nice, quiet bus ride turns into a kiddi zoo. My advice is that you stop your childish behavior now because when you become an adult you will look back and feel embarrassed (happens to all of us). The transition from kid to adult will go easier if you stop your childish behavior sooner rather than later. Acting immature got me a lot of embarrassing moments and detention. I was only trying to impress my friends (see advice 1). It took me till senior year to become more serious and mature. I wish I started acting mature a bit earlier.
4. TAKE SPORTS CLASSES: One important thing is that you definitely should take sports classes. If you're an AFC or the lonely type you must take sports. You will have fun, make friends, feel part of a team, get bigger and stronger, and your popularity and confidence will grow (specially among girls). Sports not only bring great memories that will last a lifetime, but they help you develop as a man. Instead of coming home after school to chat on the internet, or play video games, go take a sports class. In junior high I took a lot of sports classes, in high school I took none. I regret it to this day.
NOW FOR SOME SCHOOL ADVICE
5. BE SERIOUS ABOUT MATH, EVEN IF IT PUTS YOU TO SLEEP: I was one of the dumb ones that believed the "you don't need so much math in the real world" line. I screwed up in math in high school and it haunts me till this day. Most hate math but it is so important that not being proficient in math takes away a lot of career opportunities. I was lazy and didn't care and because math puts me to sleep I never studied math (but I always copied the homework he he). Math is something that you must know. For example you can get away with copying the homework and doing little studying in lets say health class (something unimportant). When it comes to math if you don't put the serious effort into studying it for hours a week you will regret it for the rest of your life.
The problem with math is that it isn't something only Einstein can figure out. The real problem with math is that it is something that takes lots of studying and practice to take in rather than most courses where you can learn stuff quickly. Because of this most people immediately think "ok I can't get this I wasn't born for math," but the real truth is that you are not putting in the time that match requires which is more than other subjects. I look back now at my math troubles and see how I could have fixed it all just by putting in the studying time and practice. Because in most other subjects I could study for 15 min and get A's. So I did that with math and it didn't work so I gave up saying "I wasn’t born for math," but in reality I didn't want to spend more time due to it being boring so giving up was the easiest option.
I sure do regret having to catch up now due to my laziness and stupidity back in high school. I would have finished my college studies already if I didn't have to catch up in math. Being horrible at math because I didn't study in high school has limited my career choices. If you're going to slack off in anything don't let it be math.
6. IF YOU LIVE IN THE USA, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIGH SCHOOL SPANISH CLASSES: If you're living in the USA you must take advantage of the Spanish classes in high school (because they're free). Being bilingual (English/Spanish) is a huge plus nowadays when it comes to getting jobs here in the USA. If you write down bilingual in your resume you have an advantage over the other applicants applying for the same job. Don't be like the people packing Spanish classes in college and paying for them. Take the Spanish classes in high school and by the time you are out of high school you will be ahead of most and knowing a second language and not having paid for it.
7. TAKE YOUR CLASSES SERIOUSLY, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET LUCKY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET RICH QUICK OR WIN THE LOTTERY:A few months ago some kid in high school came to one of the forums in this site saying he wanted to be retired by the age of 21. Out of the woodwork many posters came in telling him he should do this and that etc etc, but none of them told them the stone cold truth. The stone cold truth is that he should be worried about doing what works and is proven to work, to do well in school rather than being delusional thinking of getting rich quick, and you know why?
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET LUCKY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET RICH QUICK OR WIN THE LOTTERY!
I know someone is going to come in and say the opposite telling me that it can happen. Sure it can happen, to a lucky FEW (and few is capitalized)! so stop with your delusional "im going to make my own business and get wealthy" or "im going to buy real state and make an easy living for the rest of my life. The truth is that thinking is delusional thinking that will get you away from the proven, solid foundation of success which is studying hard.
I know there are countless kids out there thinking that they will get lucky, get rich quick or win the lottery, so they don't put in the extra effort into their studies. They think that they are going to get lucky and and won't have to work a full time job for so long and will be able to retire early, or they won't have to go through more years of studying in college in order to make a easy living. The truth is YOU WON'T GET LUCKY!
I had the same "im going to get lucky" mentality that many of reading this have. I always thought something good would happen that would save me. Well guess what? I didn't get lucky. If I had put in the effort because I know I have the brain, I would have finished college already and would have a great career with a great paying job. I see one of my relatives, she is in high school won a scholarship to a great private school, one of the best in the country. She works like in a sweatshop in terms of studying/homework time. The reward for this is that she will go to one of the top 5 universities in the country and probably the world, get a great paying career and her future is pretty much ensured.
