Usually when I want to talk to someone I usually just walk with them, go to their locker, talk in either of our classroom doors, or if I am walking in the opposite direction I just pull a U turn. - 2storm

I usually walked with them if I stopped I wouldn't block an area - trains45

Most teachers don't care, but for some reason their are those few teachers that threw a fit at my school and my school ended not letting use it during class time. - 2storm

Literally half the teachers in my school don’t care if you’re on it during work time. Obviously not when they’re teaching but if they’re just sitting at their desk some don’t care - Randomator

Nobody can put labels on you. nobody. if someone calls you stupid, it just reflects on them because they're just jealous of you even though it might not seem like it, they are

A lot of people want to be successful in high school and avoid failure this can help show your intelligence and be able to understand what the teacher is teaching in class

Bullying is a given, I know this because I've chopped and changed schools constantly. I'm going back to one of the ones I was at and am going to not listen to anyone's opinions, I have short hair, I'm not lesbian. (No offense to anyone! ) I'm chubby! Who the hell cares! I am who I am, accept me, or get out of my way because I don't have enough time in my life to deal with your judgy self. 😍

Yeah! You'll show up in the yearbook more! I'm a freshman N I'm scared as HECK! because I don't know where ANYTHING is and I have no friends. But I'm joining this one club and I already signed up for 3 sports.

Some people will be your friend but some will not

You just need to catch up sometime

You will hear girls scream, "Hey Bestfraand! " when they get to school and they may think it's cool but little do they know no one likes them because of that. Just talk normal, speak when spoken to.

Not just for american schools but for everywhere. If you don't like the school, change it as fast as you can.

This can help avoid drama and bullying from other classmates. This can also help avoid distractions

Be careful what you say to other people there are some that won’t care while there are others that will actually try to pick a fight with you after school

I can’t stress this enough! Do not fight!

If you get into some drama don't let that distract you from your studies
