It's hard to survive a day in high school, let alone 3-4 years, isn't it? In fact, if you live in the UK, you have to spend 5 years of high school! However, if you develop good relationships, study hard, and act confident and organized, your high school life will be fine. To find out how to survive in high school, let's read this article!
Step
Method 1 of 5: Developing the Right Relationship
Step 1. Make friends with different kinds of people
Everyone can contribute to your development. Don't forget to have fun in and out of school, but don't let your grades get affected. Making friends in high school is hard, but not impossible!
- Don't look down on unpopular people. They are usually friendly, easy to talk to, and usually make real friends, as they don't like getting stabbed in the back.
- Find friends who can teach you new things, like athletes, musicians, or class presidents. You can also find your interests if you make friends with people who have different talents. Also try chatting with friends who understand you.
- The more active you are in school, the easier it will be to make friends. If you join an interesting new club or sport, or are active in class, you will make all kinds of friends.
- Avoid being friends with the trouble maker so you don't get dragged into it.
- Avoid people who insult you, or people who make you feel bad. Even though they are often around you, they are not your friends.
Step 2. Have healthy relationships with male and female friends
A wide circle of friends is a good thing, so try to make friends with both boys and girls. You might be able to learn a few things about the opposite sex!
- By having several friends of the opposite sex, you will be considered cool and authoritative.
- Friends of the opposite sex can also give you advice on love issues.
- When you're ready, date. You can start slowly and enjoy the process of getting to know your partner more closely. Even though your relationship age is not long, with the experience you get, you can find the right partner in time.
- Only have sex when you're ready. Even though a lot of high school kids want to have sex, they don't actually do it. Be prepared to face risks such as early marriage and sexually transmitted diseases, and prepare safety precautions before having sex. Don't have sex because you feel "sluggish". Your bed and school life shouldn't mix.
Step 3. Build a good relationship with the teacher
You don't have to be the teacher's favorite child, but make sure you are friendly and actively communicate with the teacher. Who knows, in the future, you will need the teacher's help, for example to give a letter of recommendation! Remember that your teachers give you grades, so make sure they like you.
- Don't be afraid to ask the teacher for help. Asking for help is a sign of strength and maturity.
- Don't fight the teacher. Even if you think that your teacher is wrong, humiliating your teacher in front of the class is pointless. If you feel that your teacher is wrong and you need to correct them, do so after class is over, so that you are not seen as challenging the teacher.
- Be friendly to the teacher, but don't be a sycophant. Apart from making you unpopular, fawning over the teacher will also make the teacher feel uncomfortable and annoyed.
Step 4. Ask for help if you are being bullied
If someone is bullying you, fight back immediately, don't just run or defend. Set boundaries that other people shouldn't cross. If you have no boundaries, you will be bullied during high school. Bullies love victims whose lives are ruined.
- If you are being bullied physically, don't fight back. While it can be hard not to defend yourself, you could get hurt or get kicked out of school.
- If you are seriously threatened, contact your class teacher, parent, or BP teacher. Want to get a sense of security is not wrong, right?
Method 2 of 5: Becoming a Model Student
Step 1. Do your homework by setting aside a specific time
If you don't do your homework, you may have to repeat the lesson, or even get expelled. By doing homework, your grades will be good, and you will understand the material that will be tested in the exam.
- Separate big homework that you have to do, such as an essay or project, and homework that takes less time. Don't be lazy, because being lazy will only make you lose money.
- Use "dead" times, such as when you get on a bus, to read.
- If you are sick, ask your friend to bring you homework. In high school, unless you were seriously ill, being sick was no excuse not to do your homework.
Step 2. Learn
In high school, your grades are determined by tests and quizzes, so make sure you study hard. Arrange for study time at least a week before the test if you know the date of the test, so that you can understand the material well. The free study time also allows you to find problems with the material, so you can ask the teacher before the exam.
- Pay attention when the teacher teaches in class. The more you understand the material, the easier it will be for you to learn.
- Reread material from all classes for at least 10 minutes a day so you don't miss out. Your notes will help you study when exam time comes.
- Take detailed notes in class in your own words, so that you really understand the material. Your notes will be good study material before the exam. However, you are also not recommended to make notes that are too detailed, because these notes will make it difficult for you to memorize.
- Make an outline to make it easier for you to organize ideas while studying.
- Join study groups with classmates if it helps. When studying together, focus on the subject matter, not other things.
Step 3. Try to be a student on time
Students on time are liked by teachers, and will be rated well. Your effort to always be on time shows your enthusiasm, and of course the teacher realizes this. You might also consider arriving to school early.
- If you can choose a seat, don't be afraid to sit in the front. Students sitting in the front can focus on the lesson better. The best place to sit in class is the second row on the side if possible, because you can pay attention to the teacher and still socialize with friends. The teacher also usually pays attention to the middle of the class, and "marks" students who are paying attention.
- Come early for the exam so you can prepare mentally.
Step 4. Stay focused
To be successful in high school, you must have a good mind. When you feel lazy, remind yourself to get up, and understand that the benefits of your craft will be felt later on. Don't let friends keep you from success. Don't chat or call in class, and listen to the teacher's explanation.
Don't talk while the teacher is teaching, unless the teacher asks you. If your friends want to chat with you in class, ask them to wait. Being disrespectful to the teacher will lower your grades
Step 5. Keep track of performance
Focus on improving your grades in school, although having fun doesn't hurt. Do your homework, get high marks on tests and projects, and participate in class to get your final score perfect. Make a target at the beginning of the semester, and try to pass it.
Don't forget to set personal standards. Even though your next-door friend can get a 10, it doesn't mean you can pass the KKM easily, so focus on getting your grades up to your standards, and doing whatever you can for the sake of grades
Method 3 of 5: Becoming a Regular Student
Step 1. Create an activity agenda, which includes things you learned, fun activities, and after-school activities
Bring the agenda to every class, so your agenda is always up to date.
- Carefully record each exam on the agenda, and plan time to study the material for each exam.
- Mark socializing times, so you can know when events start and end.
Step 2. Tidy up your binder
Don't be late for class just because you forgot to put your textbook! Prepare a special binder for each subject, and mark the binder properly, so you don't take the wrong binder.
Don't have an "all-in-one" binder, which is usually used to write notes, assignments, and tests for various classes. This binder will cause you to become a disorganized student, and if you lose it, you will lose everything
Step 3. Set up your locker
Make sure you know where your books, binders, and notes are. Also keep items that you may need, such as sports clothes, chewing gum, flip-flops, pads, or exercise schedules. A regular locker will make you feel more organized throughout the day.
- Safeguard valuables, such as cell phones and iPods, as they are prone to theft.
- Make a simple first aid kit with supplies you may need, such as plasters and painkillers.
- Bring a set of clothes to school, just in case you accidentally soil your clothes.
Step 4. Plan the things you will do in high school, but don't stick to it too much
Life in high school is far more unpredictable than college or work, even though parents and teachers say otherwise. Understand the fact, but don't use it as an excuse. You may be accepted by the SNMPTN Invitation because of your grades or achievements, but don't let yourself become obsessed with mastering something.
- Take a rest! Otherwise, you will age faster.
- Include entertainment activities in your schedule. Even if it doesn't make much sense, planning entertainment can help you rest.
Step 5. Prepare a course plan
While planning for your dream campus before you even start your first year of high school sounds a little extreme, the sooner you get ready for college, the better chance you have of getting into your dream college. Keep the following in mind as you plan your life in high school:
- Keep values high from the start. Don't be lazy in grade 1 just because you think you have a long time in high school. If you slack off, you will panic in grade 3 (or grade 4).
- Join a club, sporting event, or band from the start. Commit to a school activity as early as possible, until you are entrusted with a leadership position.
- Prepare for the SBMPTN, SAT, or ACT. Keep in mind that your 2nd grade may be busy with college entrance exam preparations, so make sure you prepare as early as possible.
- Prepare a college registration application as early as possible. Don't waste the opportunity to get a seat on a bona fide campus just because you are late in preparing the registration documents.
Method 4 of 5: Becoming an Active Student
Step 1. Get excited
Take part in various school activities, such as pensi and porcelain, to make you feel better and energized.
- Having a school spirit will help you feel part of the school, so you don't feel too lonely.
- The more events you participate in, the more new friends you can make.
- Wear the right uniform on the right day. Don't be afraid to feel uncool, because if you're not sensitive, you're not cool, you know.
Step 2. Find a job
You may need to work to cover school and social needs. Working while in school may sound difficult, but if you can do it, you will be trusted to take on responsibility, and learn the ability to manage time.
- Find a convincing job, no matter how small it is. Most people already know that interns are usually paid to do things the rest of the office doesn't want to do, but give it a try!
- When you apply for college, you may be able to write about work experience. Work experience, no matter what job you do, will show maturity and commitment.
Step 3. Join an extracurricular club, such as an arts, language, student council, or spiritual club
In the club, you will find new friends and interests, to help you find your purpose in life.
- High school is a time to decide what college major, and even the direction of life, so make sure you accept whatever new experiences you have.
- Your participation in extracurricular activities can also strengthen your position when you are fighting for a seat on campus.
- Take part in volunteer activities at your school. Volunteering is a great way to have fun while helping others.
Step 4. Take care of your health
Make sure you live healthy. Even if you feel like your schedule is too tight for a healthy life, remember that if you feel healthy and active, your appearance and performance can improve too!
-
Take part in sports activities at school. Besides being able to make you feel more part of the school, sports activities can also serve as a means of exercising your body.
Survive High School Step 18Bullet1 - Set aside time for exercise. If you don't take gym classes or don't take part in sports at school, exercise for 30 minutes at least a few times a week.
- Get enough rest, at least 7-8 hours a day. Also make sure you wake up and go to bed at the same time every day. If you feel refreshed during the day, you may become more active and eager to join a club or other activity.
Method 5 of 5: Maintaining Confidence
Step 1. Know the direction when walking
If you know your school plan, you will feel more confident. If your school is big, you may get lost, so try to get a school map and mark the quickest route to get to your class. Also know the location of the best bathrooms, dining tables and chairs, and try to get those chairs/tables before anyone else.

Step 2. Take care of your appearance
Don't forget to shower, apply deodorant, dress neatly, and make a good impression. Find a comfortable and efficient style for yourself. You don't have to wear the same clothes as the cool kids, just be yourself! However, do not let you wear excessive clothes. Remember, you are in school to learn, not to be a model.
- Whatever clothes you wear to school, make sure your clothes are clean and tidy. You will be treated differently if you show tidiness.
- Don't wear clothes that are too revealing, or don't conform to school rules.
Step 3. Maintain a positive attitude
A positive attitude will help you lift your spirits when life gets tough. Stay calm, even when you feel like everything in your life is turning upside down. If you are negative, you can lose your identity.
- Smile. By smiling, you will look more confident. In addition, your smile can change the attitude of other people, and make you look friendly, fun, and warm.
- With a positive attitude, you can also make new friends quickly.
Tips
- Keep in mind that your plans may not go well, and that is common. If your plans fail, stay strong. Everything happens for a reason, so find a reason to smile.
- Make sure you can laugh at yourself. People who are easily offended are generally disliked, so try not to take other people's words to heart. When you get offended, laugh at yourself.
- Don't feel tempted to date an upperclassman just because your friend does it,
- Don't focus so much on personal relationships that your work gets neglected.
- To survive in high school, find friends with similar interests. Through these friends, you may be able to find friends.
- Be yourself, and ignore the drama.
- If people insult you because you have good grades, think that someday the people who are laughing at you will work at a fast food restaurant.
- Ignore distractions. To get the best grades, balance your social and school life. If you focus too much on school life, you will feel stressed, and if you focus too much on social life, your grades will be jeopardized.
- Set aside time for yourself. Reading too much can stress you out, so make sure you put yourself first.
- Be careful when using social media. Sometimes, some colleges search for your name on social media to see who you are! Therefore, don't post embarrassing content.
Warning
- Many teens try drugs in high school. Remember that your body is your right; When you are asked to try drugs, make sure you refuse. Drugs can damage your body and your relationships with other people.
- Never bring illegal drugs, weapons, pornographic material, or other prohibited items to school. If caught, students carrying prohibited items are usually punished, suspended, handed over to the authorities, or fined. If you must take prescription drugs, take the prescription and notes from the doctor to the teacher's office or UKS. When you need to take medicine, go to the room to take the medicine according to the dose.
- If you are being bullied, seek immediate help. Don't be afraid of being bullied even more.
- Never vandalize or damage school property, steal other people's belongings, or be bullied. The school will definitely take action, and depending on the severity of the situation, you may be able to face legal issues.
- Never feel forced by friends or girlfriends during sex. Get in touch when you're really ready.
- Don't drink until you're old enough, and don't drive after drinking.
