How to deal with life as a teenager

Part 1 The Journey

My name is Nadiah and as I have grown up in such a small town I] knew that moving would be difficult to get use to in life. So as my life start in ninth grade year I did not expect it to be this difficult or to have such a hard time with every thing. Yet I knew if anything ever happened in life or just in gerneral I knew who to turn and look to. As I am going through my ninth grade year it starts to make since about everything that we did in class. As I got use to doing what we do in class every day I wanted to know what it would be like to have a boyfriend at this time. I know this isn't something someone should really worry about in ninth grade but trust me I did. I know a lot for people who have a relation ship already but it is what I kept asking my self this question every day.

So now I can tell you what it is like to struggle to get your work done on time for class. Well it is not easy to keep them up when you have a block schedule in your school day. It is really hard for some to get there homework done or assignments turned in when they need too be. So with grades just focus on school and only school nothing else and as many does not want to here it you did because it is true and that there is nothing that can be done about it and that no one will do anything anyway.

So some of you want to know how to survive high school. Well I have some pointers for you to take with you until you graduate. The first one is make friends with diverse groups of people because everbody has something to contribute to growth as a person.

The first thing is - Do not sacrifice your grades, but do not forget to , both in school and out of it. It is hard, if not impossible, to get through high school happily without at least a few .

Never think that someone is a less valued potential friend because they're not seen as 'popular'. These people are the kindest and easiest to talk to and will never talk about you behind your back as they are true friends.Find people who can teach you new things. Be friends with a star athlete, a cello player, and the class president. Finding people who do different things can also help you find your niche. Also try talking to people who understand.
Another tip for you is that The more active you are, the easier it will be for you to make friends. If you join new and exciting clubs and sports, or just engage in class, you will open yourself up a wider variety of friends.Try to avoid making friends with troublemakers, or your school performance will suffer.Avoid people who want to put you down and make you feel bad about yourself. Though these people may keep hanging out with you, they are not your friends.

Your Second thing to help you survive highschool is Develope a healthy relationship with members of the oppsite sex . You do not have to start dating if you are not comfortable with it, but you can learn a lot from hanging out with people of the opposite sex. Chances are, you got used to just hanging out with people of your own gender in middle school and may be feeling shy or nervous about approaching a person of the opposite gender. You can learn a lot, and that person may be nervous too.

You will look cool if you have a few friends of the opposite sex. People will respect you more.

Being friends with a member of the opposite sex can also help you get love or dating advice.If you are ready, try dating. You can take it slow and enjoy getting to know another person on a more intimate level. Even if your relationships do not last long, they can help you hone your dating skills so you are a stellar boyfriend or girlfriend when the time is right.

Net tip is ONLY have sex when you're ready. Though many high school students spend their time obsessing over sex, many of them do not have it. Only do it if you have Protection and you are ready to accept the possible consequences such as becoming a teen parent or getting a STD. Don't do it because you feel like everyone else is doing it.

Thrid thing is- Develop strong relationships with your.Parents and Teachers. You do not have to be the teacher's pet, but you should still be friendly and engaged with your teachers. After all, you never know when you may later need one of them to give you A ! Remember that your teachers are the ones who give you the grades, so you should make them inclined to like you.
