High school is a fun time to make new friends, meet new people, date and socialize. Make friends with all kinds of people and not just a group which you are comfortable with. Most peer pressure cases are because of the weak image created by freshmen.   36   Don’t give into anyone’s wants.

3. Be Optimistic.
There is nothing better than having a smile on your face whenever you can.   38    Don't be afraid to make friends, don't get aggressive or personal with anyone and treat others the way you want to be treated. Respect your teachers and classmates and try to be helpful if you want the same in return.
4. Be Confident.
When you believe in yourself, others believe in you. Talk, walk and address people confidently and this will create a strong image about you.   39  Be creative and unique and learn to set trends. Confidence is one quality you grow with, and people respect you for that.
5. Love High School.
  40   Make the most out of it, and you will never get those moments back. Come up with prank ideas, get a detention, top your class, make the best friends, drink, go to a prom, party, but just make as many memories as you can!
