learn things for the sak get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I've crammed for the night before, gotten an A, and now I don't remember anything. I've changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Also relating to academics, don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between AP Chemistry and "Racquet Sports," the first will prove to be a lot more useful!
While drugs and drinking might be present in some middle schools, they're definitely around in high school. I have a lot of friends who swore they'd never drink or smoke, but are now partying every weekend. You hear this all the time, but that's because it's true: don't give into peer pressure. If you have "fun" and spend your nights wasted instead of studying or hanging out with friends, you will regret it when you're applying for college and realize that you've thrown away the last few years. The "friends" who say you're a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. It's hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions, but don't follow their footsteps. Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.

POV
Life often presents itself as a series of hurdles, each one taller than the last. These hurdles, though daunting, are not meant to break us but to shape us into who we are meant to be. It is through our darkest nights that we gain the strength to face the dawn. It's when we are at our lowest, feeling like the world has conspired against us, that the seeds of resilience are sown. Every tear shed in frustration waters the roots of perseverance. Every sleepless night, spent grappling with doubt and uncertainty, serves as a silent testament to our inner strength. It is in these moments of struggle that our character is forged, like steel tempered in fire. The sweetness of success is not found in the absence of hardship but in the victory over it. The taste of triumph is more profound when seasoned with the bitterness of the journey. It is this contrast that makes success not just a goal but a celebration of the human spirit. In the end, it is the hardest times that give flavor to our achievements, making them not just milestones but moments of profound personal growth. Through pain, we learn endurance; through failure, we find resolve. And when success finally comes, it is not just a destination reached but a testament to the journey endured. ◉‿◉
the life changer// j.j
Things in Omaha aren't very extraordinary. Or maybe that's just me. I never go to parties. I never have sex. I guess you could say I'm not a normal teenager, or that my reputation isn't the best. And I'd probably agree with you. I'm graduating this year and I cannot wait to leave this place behind, but that's in a year. I need to get through one more year of hell. And here I am, sitting in my blue Focus in front of my highschool. People walking in. I take a deep breath and get out of my car: I have to start somewhere. I walk inside and nobody yells my name saying they missed me like they are to the other kids. But nobody stares. It's like I'm invisible I walk into my first class, AP World History and I take a look at the seating chart, noticing that I'm in the back, and mentally high-fiving myself Until I notice that I'm next to Jack Gilinsky, 1/3 of the coolest group of guys in school.I hate him with a writhing passion, but I have too suck it up. Here's to our senior yearComplete
An Unexpected Moment
... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!Complete
As A Friend
College is supposed to be different from high school, yet here I am living almost exactly how I was back then. I still don't party. I still don't date. I still ace my classes. And my best friend is still the most popular guy in school who encourages me to try new things on the regular. He takes me to parties, as a friend. He teaches me how to flirt with boys, as a friend. He holds me when we sleep, as a friend. He offers to teach me how to kiss, as a friend. And I think I'm starting to fall in love with him, not as a friend. DISCLAIMER: Hey guys I know most of my books are PG-13 to the T but this book is not. There is swearing. There is sexual behavior. There is talk of drugs and alcohol. I don't condone/encourage any of these behaviors. I'm just writing about college and a lot of these things do take place in college, so for the sake of being realistic, I included them. But just because these are discussed in the book does not mean you have to do them. Please read with that mindset and don't believe that these things are necessary in order to have a good time or to be perceived as cool.Complete![Can I Stay The Night?

My life is pretty normal. I have a hot girlfriend, nice friends and everything around me is just chill. But then this guy comes along. He ramms my back with his shoppibg cart and i drop all of my things. While helping me pick them up, he stripes my hand with his and smirks at me. Weird. But the same night, this creep is in my bed. I don't know how the fuck he got in, but somehow he gets me to let him stay the night. He's weird, pervy and always comes on to me and says he'd love to fuck me and shit. But there is something about his behaviour i like. He is funny. And somehow i let him stay with me for a few nights. Which turn into weeks. He opened up about him from time to time and i notice, he does not have it easy. And something inside of me is changing as well. He makes me feel...weird. But not in a bad way. And i don't know why, but somehow my super hot girlfriend starts to piss me off. But sometimes things get awkward when he kisses my neck to tease me... but i know he's just joking. He always does that. - WARNING: This story contains self harm and verbal and mental abuse.☡ ... Again, i really don't know how to describe storys. This is really shitty explained. Well, this is not even a description this is more like his view over the first few days and stuff. Idk. Give it a go and then judge for yourself. I might change the description though because i only just started this book. But thanks already for reading. Have fun.Complete
The night when everything got f*cked up.
The party was quite nice. The school year had just started. But there was too much alcohol, too many problems, and a unfortunate accident that would kill 5 kids, leaving many in grief. Cheating happened, death happened, rape happened, and brought people closer to each other than they've ever been. People mourn every time they see the sunset, people can't bring themselves to get into an Uber. At the end of the day they're just young, and some will stay young forever. The before, during, and after of a tragic night you'd never would want to be trapped in.Complete

When a terrifying night out forces Nessa to move into Finn's flat, the careful distance they've kept dissolves one borrowed sweater, one kitchen morning, one accidental kiss at a time. Phoenix is arrogant, closed-off, and carrying scars he's never shown anyone. Nessa is fierce, independent, and absolutely not supposed to fall for him. Finn would never forgive them. So they won't tell him. Easy. Except nothing about Phoenix has ever been easy.Complete

-Let's get this straight. From a dead end job to a useless crazy ex boyfriend- my happiness is with my best friend yet the fear of our relationship ending completely scares me and id rather fake it and be in fear than find out and never be happy. It sucks, seeing him everyday and knowing what i feel for him and how deep those feelings go is painful...- But when he comes around everything changes for the best and for the worst. As a whole they are deeply loved and equally as hated by others but the love from one another is undeniable, if only she wasnt so selfish with her choices and words- -Lying, cheating, sneaking, crying- many acts and emotions come from within when there's someone you love unaware of that love.. Possibly growing to love someone else right before your eyes..Its gut wrenching, i know because ive fucked up. Its worse when you're aware of the harm you cause yourself and others but dont care how the outcome turns out to be. Why would it matter how it effects you if youre used to pain and people leaving? it wouldnt. All because you take comfort in your own mind and mental illness, once you realize you have freewill it may become a bad thing if youre careless.- - Gabriella White.Complete
