Advice to Those in High School
I hated high school. Not in the cliché, "Oh my gosh, I hate school." But I truly did. All my friends would get dressed up, go to pep rallies, talk about the latest parties; none of it interested me, never did. Yet, freshman and sophomore year, boy, did I pretend that I loved it all. I would wear all black to our football games to match the theme, dressed up for homecoming, gauzed over how "cool" the seniors were; but deep down, I did not give a crap.

Tips for Surviving High School
(Warning: These tips are based on MY opinion of high school survival.) Now everyone has probably told you, or students like you, "Just have fun!" Now I have a perfect statement for that sentence. NO. High School isn't all about having fun. It's usually about either drugs, popularity, the opposite sex, and self-identity. See how I didn't include grades? There's a special place in hell for grades. I have recently graduated high school last year, was it the "best four years" of my life? Hell no, I hated it. Some moments I had wished to have death's sweet kiss take me away, however growing up I learned that I'm happy death spared me.

Negative Effects of Peer Pressure in High School
Teenage and high school years are an immense part in shaping the person you are going to become. Although school is given to us to receive an education, it can also be a place where you can develop relationships with many different people, join clubs and activities, and participate in a variety of different sports. This can make your four years as a high school student filled with many different emotions, including happiness, anger, sadness, jealousy, isolation, stress, and a numerous amount more. This is also a time where peer pressure is most commonly put upon a vast majority of teens.

Finding Yourself
Have you ever felt yourself wandering? Not knowing what you want to do with life, or what you should be "passionate" about? Well, I've been in the same spot and it was a journey leading into my passion. Now, it can be very stressful when it comes down to that situation and you will want to just give up. I promise you that is not the road you want to walk along.

Things I Wish I Had Known at the Start of High School
Take my advice! 6. The friends you have now, most likely won’t stay long. It happens to everyone. You may come into high school with a big crowd of friends who you think are gonna stick by your side no matter what. But somehow, something has to start it. Maybe one of your friends started dating your ex. Or you make plans to hang out with certain friends and not other friends. Even college could rip you guys apart. Just know that you may have one or two by your senior year. Not everyone is gonna stay.

Fundraising Fright
Do you remember doing fundraisers in school, like selling chocolate bars at football games? Yeah, I don’t like them anymore, either. I mean, my younger antisocial self didn’t like them in the first place, but one incident really set the bar for my dislike of them and completely stripped the fun out of fundraisers.

What It's like to Be Bullied
After spending 14 years of my 20-year life in school I can simply say that these school years were, and most probably are, going to be the worst years of my life. Compared to most people who have experienced school, they can say whether they were one of the "popular" kids, smart kids, "average" kids or just the kids that were never really taken much notice of during their years at school. However, I have only met a handful of people who I know that have been bullied to either nearly the extent that I had been bullied to or some even worse to what I had experience.
