First week if high school

[Leon the reboobler :3]

Well, it's my first day/week tomorro, any tips on how to start off the year?

Same shit as middle school. As long as you arnt a bitch(I'm serious) you'll be fine. Oh and get involved with things outside of class like clubs or sports. You'll meet a lot of people.

Don't give a single fuck about the people. Have friends, sure, but realize that you'll more often than not, never speak to any of those high school friends again. If you're looking at post-secondary school (college), your grades DO matter, get good ones, other than that, nothing you do will be remembered from high school.

Somone's advice is pretty bad lmfao. Friends are just as important in high school as grades are. Sure, you may not keep in touch with all of them after you leave, but just having those connections and relationships helps you grow, and prepares you for the real world. I've got a ton of friends who have gone off to college on the east coast, and I talk with them all the time, whether it be Facebook, email, texting, Skype, etc. We just talk about like and stuff, and it's really cool. We've got access to that now with all the social media and related stuff.

My advice to you: make friends, and be open to things. Make sure you actually try at schoolwork, and manage organization/homework/studying. It'll get harder as you go through, so make sure you stay on top of things. High school's pretty fun, but it does take work.

Well, both of you are right. Make friends and have some buddies you can rely on, but be prepared to move on after you all graduate and move on with your lives. Dont let it get in the way of your work though. High school prepares you for post-secondary. Those who slacked through high school show in college/university as they struggle to learn from lectures and studying. Just remember, you're not even close to being finished with education.

head up and mind yo own business, be funny.

if someone starts to be a prick with you (there is always a bully at school) then do not be afraid to stand up to them, and if they continue, ignore when teachers go "do not retaliate tell teacher yes???" because that shit makes things worse but instead smash their teeth down their throat.

also yes try to do the best you can and get the best grades you can achieve then you can become a strong intelligent man and go to college/uni later on

To add to this:
It's fine to be an asshole to assholes. But don't be an asshole yourself.
In other words, when someone bullies you, you can somehow counter their bullshit back at them. But show yourself as a positive guy to your teachers and pay attention in class. This will set you up with a nice reputation of a positive good student to your teachers, and a person not to fuck with to all other students.

So simply said: Don't get into trouble yourself. But fight trouble back.

Don't try to fit in and don't take anyones bullshit and you'll be fine.

I don't think that's entirely good advice. I get where you're coming from but more often than not (from experience and what others have told me) it's not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know. So building bridges, even in high school, is a good thing. That's my opinion at least.

I think someone just had a bad time in high school or something lol. While what he's saying is true to a certain extent, high school is still very important. It's something you are going to remember and look back on when you're older, even talk to your parents about it. While you can take comfort in that high school won't matter in certain ways after its over, it's something you are going to remember so make the best of it.

You just gotta find the perfect balance. IE right now in my Paramedic program, all 8 of us (the students in the class) have gotten on good terms with eachother and have a little connection when we have issues with quizzes or whatever. We also make timmies runs voluntarily. I guess the moral is get on good terms with your peers and dont be afraid to say "Hi." But dont forget about your school work and preparing for post secondary.
