Being popular means having better posture. Posture is underrated during school years. Nobody taught me to improve my posture. If you're being bullied all you've got to do is improve your posture.

Loosening up. The quietest people have the loudest minds. Loosening up and getting out of my own head made me enjoy the experience a lot more.

Believe in something. I believe in God. Belief in a higher power stopped me being nihilistic on numerous occasions.

High school isn't forever. Although it feels like it at the time.

Find a good tutor and stick to them like glue. Good teachers are few and far between. I don't know if I would be where I am now if I didn't have them.

Popular kids don't always have better social skills. High school is kind of like prison. The biggest guy wins. The most popular kids are usually beefier. Being a people person doesn't hurt though.

Embrace failure. Teachers advise students to avoid failing. But failing is a necessary part of life.

Forget everything you learned in high school because it doesn't reflect the law of the real world.
