I hear the weather's nice in California

Drama, girls, boys, stress, forceful tactics, being judged around the clock, haters, lovers, lock downs, bomb threats, escape routes, favorites. Lets just sum it up, "HIGH SCHOOL".

I have been a high and mighty high schooler for two years, only two years, here is some guidelines and things I have learned:

(1)Never think the people you are friends with your ninth grade year will be there for you in another year or so.
(2)Become "friends" with at least one teach. Meaning have one teacher to exchange sarcastic insulting comments with.
(3)Try to have a close nit group of friends, a couple close friends and a few not so close.
(4)When it comes to huge group of friends, no one really likes each other.
(5)Envious ones will become haters.
(6)Drama, try to avoid it.
(7)Never argue, calmly talk(or IM) well they freak out, trust me.
*(8)Don't sink down to the level of hate, it's not a good look on anyone.
(9)I suggest keeping your friends closer and pretending your enemies don't exist.
(10)Be yourself. After a year and a half I finally learned that I shouldn't care what they think about me. I wear what I want, date who I want, and say what I want. Who cares if they care?
