ok i know a lot of my mutuals/followers here are starting high school this year so here’s a thread of some advice & tips! (free to rt & add stuff!)
-join clubs! they’re super good with making friends and getting all sorts of connections! also it looks super good for colleges & jobs!
-be considerate of others & try not to judge too much! dont get involved in petty drama and stay with your own circle, getting involved in people’s problems makes the school year less tolerable
-try to manage your time efficiently, dont procrastinate!
-dont overwork yourself and take care of yourself! school is important but there’s only one of you, school can wait
-dont overwork yourself and take care of yourself! school is important but there’s only one of you, school can wait
-high school is nothing like middle school! kids do not care as much as you think! most dont even notice you are there! and if they do notice something about you, i promise they forget about it right away. dont care what others think!!
-dont let the older kids intimidate you, and dont let anybody push you around. dont tolerate any ableism, racism, lgbtphobia, etc. you have a voice, please dont be afraid to tell people whats going on ESP if its a teacher harassing you!
-people will say you wont have time for a social life or whatever; thats bs. you have plenty of time so long as u can manage your work properly!! get things done early so you can go online and play video games & sfuff!
there’s no rush to grow up; have fun and enjoy your year! people will give you the impression you have to be mature now that you’re in hs;; freshman year is freshman year. just have fun and dont stress about college, wait until later!
-if you’re gonna cheat on work, be smart about it! (befriend and work with ur peers to get answers but u didnt hear that from me)
-dont pressure yourself! ill always encourage you to push yourself but dont break your neck!! your emotions & mental health come first!

-high school goes by fast so take advantage of the experience and get involved! go to dances, make friends, attend football games, etc!! it makes for really interesting stories!
-adding on! as a kid with anxiety i constantly worried for presentations and felt like crying when i had to present, but most kids are so caught up worrying about themselves they dont notice if you mess up at all! and if you do something embarrassing; they wont remember! https://twitter.com/unimpressivelym/status/1298504387732676608
-you’ll be a suck up but befriend teachers dude. if they like you they’ll trust you and if they trust you you’ll prob get away with more stuff; also its just good to have a supportive adult figure to chat with during lunch or in the beginning of class!
-ALSO making a teacher an ally means college referrals and job recommendations!!
-be respectful of people’s boundaries and don’t push them past their comfort zones!!
DRUG TW ///
- yEA vaping is rough and harmful and stuff but kids do it usually because they’re stressed and anxious and have no way to really cope with it; you dont have to talk to em but be considerate and wary of any potential issues they have!

-noting this one too!! whatever has the bigger grade, definitely highlight that. you will heal from missing a few points of a worksheet; an essay is a whole different story https://twitter.com/wavedwhelk/status/1298507059567169537
-stay safe! don’t put yourself in a dangerous situation. if you’re uncomfortable and you feel you’re in danger get out of there! for ex if you’re at a football game and its crowded, def go take a breather and even leave if you have to!! i promise nobody will be upset if you do!
-there is no pressure to be in a relationship. just have fun and enjoy yourself
-the person you are in middle school is different from who you are in freshman year, and the person you are in freshman year is different from who you will be in senior year. you change and grow, don’t let the past prevent you from enjoying yourself this & the following years
-this one is important if you’re trying go go by your preferred name & pronouns!! https://twitter.com/vedniyt/status/1298509008563834881
ok sorry this thread was so long!! i may add more stuff if i think of anything but nonetheless i hope yall have a great school year and feel free to dm me (a senior) if you need any help or wisdom!
