Things you wish you knew in High School

Senior year will began in a month in high school and I am very anxious about the things to come in the future. I would love to have advice from people who have been here.

Things you wish you knew in high school or you learned or realized when it was too late, what do you wish you had done in high school... any and all advice is appreciated. :)

One thing I can tell you is that most of what matters to kids in high school will mean nothing the day after you graduate. For advice I would just say to do well in your studies and prepare to move into college because it's after high school when life really begins.

Prom is eh, Sports are fun, socializing and living around school is a big bonus.

It may not matter when you go to college, but I regret not being able to take sports or living near school, because I think it would have been much more fun. I also should have joined more clubs.

i wish i would've spent more time on having fun instead of studying.seriously :|.

I did the exact opposite and I regretted it. You didn't miss anything. People get ahead in life because they spend most of their time if not all of it studying rather than wasting itfor nothing.

I wish I'd have known how important that first year was on my GPA, then maybe I would have pushed a bit then to not have to push so hard later.

I also would have spent more time getting a job and a car and saving up for college, because man it sucks working during college.

If you could have fun as well as achieve high grades, you would end up really happy.

Start planning for college from now and build up good social relationships with everyone you know.

The most important thing is to start considering your future career and the universities you can attend, believe me .. don't waste time on considering your futuremajor, speak with your career counselor. The sooner you start planning the happier you would be at the end.

I graduated HS this year, and I regret a lot of things already.

the number of girls who wanted to sleep with me before they became fat with six kids.

This. It's funny every girl I knew in highschool is like that now.

That your friends wont be your friends forever, go to college early because its amazing, thats were you can have a lot of fun so save the fun for then, study really hard and get great marks. Trust me you will want to pass college as its your money that your spending to be there.

Im entering 11th grade next week and all i plan on doing this year is having fun,**** grades as long as i get a C or above im good

Have fun, for most senior year is the easiest year of hs, grades and what you do don't mean much. I had 2 classes each semster for my senior year. but realize for the most parts the girls and the friends you made in hs as soon as college starts, are probably going to mean little to nothing to you. Heck your never see most of them again. Dating is up to you, but be warned that relationship isn't going to last. You going to break up the summer you finish senior year, or soon after you go to college.

That you should have at least talked to that girl instead of graduating and regretting not even saying "Good morning" to her.:(

That it gets better.

I feel like I just trolled myself.

Friends become enemies, enemies become traitors, not everyone in school will still be friends with you.

I think the main thing I learned is that a lot of people worry what others think of them and they alter their lives just on that. But in reality nobody cares it's best to just be who you want to be.atony12

quoted for truth.

I am going into my senior year in a few weeks and ivdo have lots of regrets. i wish that i didnt mess up my grades in sophomore year. college apps would be so much easier if i just studied a bit harder that year. i also wish hat i had done more extra curricular activities throughout my hs years. hopefully i will still get into a good university though.

Very clever question!
You were probably born about the time I graduated from high school, and here's the #1 thing I learned since then...
Self-confidence will greatly affect almost everything you do in your life!! School, friends, work, girls/boys, hobbies, etc.

If you don't believe in yourself, nobody else will believe in you (if say they do, but they're just trying to make you feel better).
If you're not confident, act like you are until you can figure things out LOL
Don't put yourself down by giving people around you too much credit.
Be positive and try to find the good side of things!
If you screwed up, or are worried about screwing up, learn to roll with it.
Work hard, pay attention, and be prepared.

You get the idea. If you learn to balance self-confidence with true ability and humility, then you'll find a lot of success in your life!

I wish I would've known how to get laid in high school. But then again, not being insanely popular made me a better man and the one I am today, so really, I'd leave it at that. However, I would have asked my dad to invest in Microsoft and Apple shares back then as they were on they're way up. Not in the beginning, but we could've made a killing.

TC.. there is no way to not wish you known this and that after your gone from high school.. its just a thing you have to deal with

I wish I knew that high school was for the most part a big waste of time...

It can indeed get better (not only for gay people but anyone feeling that high school sucks for whatever reason) but when I was in high school I didnt have the right attitude and that prespective was not in my mind at all.

Living in the moment is only good on occasion when it's something as vital as school it is best to look towards the future. If your high school years are the best of your life well your life must suck.

To clarify, I dont mean that the "It gets better" project is useless. Far from it.

I don't know, I'm still in High School :P

How much my life will suck from dropping out and not doing what I should have done. Very srs...you young people listen. It wasnt long ago I was a snot nosed kid...Im telling you...you better get it right from the start, because DO OVERS only happen in videogames. You hit 40 like im fixing to, and you didnt get life right, you regret it every day you breathe. ESPECIALLY when you have kids of your own that you have to preach to daily to take YOU 'the parent" as an example of what NOT to do.

Graduate high school..if you cant get in college, you BETTER join some branch of the military and make it your life. You can either work in the military for 20 years and retire well off...OR....you can work until you cant walk out here in the real world..Take your pick.

And what I say is fact...im living proof..

Question everything, teachers love it.

Except math teachers.....

that a bunch of girls that i liked a some pount another also liked me and it wasnt until they had boyfriends that i found out,

Also the answers to alot of my Math questions would have been good,

Also that i should ahve saved up more money,

And finally the one thing i wish i knew back in highschool is that the people who become your bestfriends are the ones that backstabb you and are the most pricks while the people your just friends with are the most loyal.
