How to survive high school? - Cranberry - 11-09-2012 10:11 AM
Okay so I just started my freshman year last week and last night was our first dance with the entire upper school. I'm kind of a floater along with my best friend jen (nice to everyone but trying to be popular). So the popular girls made a group on fb and included me and jen to decide what to wear to the dance and stuff. We were trying to figure out who's house to get ready at but nothing really worked out... Anyways I got sick last night (really sick) and wasn't even able to go
but I was talking with jen today and she said that the populars all showed up in matching outfits and posted pictures of themselves getting ready on Facebook. UGH! aaand jen said that all of the upperschoolers were wasted and grinding during the dance. What really scared me was that jen said "maybe next dance i'll have to drink a little something too!" I guess I'm just nervous and annoyed because I don't want to have to do that and I'm just sad about the social situation. Do you have any advise? Thank you so much I really appreciate it<3

You don't have to drink... so don't. You don't have to be one of the 'populars' if you don't like how they act... so don't. You have the power to choose.
By the way? Since you're in high school now, you can stop using third grade terms like 'populars' and 'floater'.

Well im not an expert as kind of subject at all. Ah hell i will give a try. BE YOURSELF. If you dont like alchahol? Dont drink! you dont have to do what your friend does! If my friends started doing drugs or started going to clubbs, i wouldnt follow them! Whatever feels right TO YOU, do it! About the social situation, everyone's started to drink and post pictures on facebook? Do you feel like you should be the normal and do what people do? OR Will you be the Unique and do YOUR WAY. Now decide, next year, you can still hang out with everyone without being on facebook or getting Wasted. Whatever feels right dude, Go for it, aaah but im muslim and i dont drink so i wouldnt drink even if someone payed 100 grand. *Stick to Religion. As for you. Live your life how you want to. No ones in control of how you want to control / create/ fit in. Act Unique or Fit in.
