Back To School Tips

Hey guys,

I wanted to talk a little about going back to school. This post won't be much about a review or anything along those lines. This post is about you. 

If you're heading into high school or are in middle school, maybe even college. Everyone will come across someone who will find a way to poke at things about you. It's inevitable, it happens to everyone. 

So here are my tips on how to handle those types of situations and more:

1: Keep your head up. -This person trying to tare you down in any way isn't worth your tears.

2: Never throw a punch. -I admit I was close to a few swings when I was in school. But I kept walking. 

3: Stand your ground. -Now this you might think 'fight'. But violence isn't the answer. Of course defend yourself but never start it. By this I mean your your words. Defend yourself with your smarts rather then your fists. 

4: Be the unlikely friend. -See someone sitting alone? Sit with them, it never hurts to make a new friend. And you never know, you could have just changed their entire week. 

5: Be active. -Participate! Spirit week, sports, theatre, clubs. Don't waste your year just sitting at home doing nothing. Make the most of your time in school so you have those memories to look back on, and it's a great way to meet new people. 

I could go on and on with tips and advice, but those 5 are things I did. As we as what I advised my 16yr old niece to do with her years in school. I really hope this post helps someone in some sort of way.
