20 pieces of advice for the high school graduate From submitted reports 1) Do Not Be Too Quick To Judge ~ Do not value first impressions highly. Don’t dismiss a person or idea too early just because you immediately get a bad impression from it. 2) Do Not Let Your Friends Slip Away ~ If your friendship with someone is slowly weakening, take iniative immediately to try to repair it instead of allowing your situation to exacerbate. 3) Do Not Ever Hold Grudges ~ Holding a grudge is like holding a trade embargo. It is intended to hurt the other party, but it hurts you equally. 4) Do Not Seek Revenge ~ Unless revenge is entails little effort, will be effective, and puts you at no risk for consquences, do not seek it. Just let it go and move on. 5) Do Not Get Into Drama ~ If the problem doesn’t involve you, don't get involved. As tempting as it seems to get in a conflict, mediate, take sides, and try to resolve it, it just isn’t worth it. 6) Have Respect For Authority ~ No matter how much you may dislike them at the time, just remember that teachers and parents care about you and are only doing their job. 8.) Don’t Be A Victim Of Fads ~ Wearing the latest fashion, getting the newest electronics, getting a popular haircut, and spending much time trying to follow the latest trends is all a waste. 9) Don’t Try To Please Everybody ~ There is no way you can please everybody or get everybody to agree with you. 10) Do Not Draw Negative Attention ~ Don’t say anything offensive and do not be a pessimist. Don’t have bad hygeine or act immaturely. It takes a lot of time to repair a bad image and it is better to have no attention at all than to get negative attention. 11) Join Several Clubs / Activities ~ It is a great way to meet friends, take up new interests, augment your college application. What's not to like? If you don’t, you may be missing on several opportunities.

12) Create A Set Of Goals ~ Ask yourself what you would like to accomplish by the end of high school, make a plan on how you would like to reach them. 13) Make The Right Friends ~ Friends who use others, friends who engage in criminal activity, friends who immature, and friends who you can never have a serious relationship with are a waste of an investment. 14) Learn To Take Responsibility ~ Doing whatever you want regardless of the consequences because your parents or teachers are there to fix it. 15) Stay In Healthy Shape ~ Get a sufficient amount of sleep, eat healthy, take vitamins, exercise, and avoid reckless behavior. 16) See Things In Other People’s Perspective ~ The decisions people make, may seem odd to you, but try to step in their shoes and try to imagine why they would do the things that they do. 17) Be Thankful Of Everything You Have ~ There are many people in the world who are poor, starving, uneducated, and on the verge of death, and there are millions of people in history who have suffered from war, famine, and slavery. So be thankful for everything you have. 18) It’s All About The Habits ~ Bad habits are hard to break and remain with you for a long time. Don’t fall into a trap which can hurt you your whole life. 19) Realize High School Isn't The Real World ~ High school is not the real world. The real world isn’t a closed environment. It is a free society where people accept responsibility for their actions. What is rewarded in high school (popularity, athleticness, rote memorization, obedience) is different from what is rewarded in the real world. 20) How Will This Impact Me In Five Years? ~ Ask that question with every big decision you make. Editor’s note: Originally posted by Swansong on a blog about entering college. The above pointers are just one individual’s opinions.
