High school can be a terrible phase if you get it all wrong. Find out how to survive high school with a few easy tips.
1. Be Yourself.
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. 1.Don’t give in to anyone’s wants.

Choose your friends carefully and make sure you won’t get influenced by anyone. Socialize, but by judging who you can connect to. You will find friends, but stay away from the ones who don’t want to be your friends as a bad company is tempting, but the good one is true.
3. Be Optimistic.
There is nothing better than having a smile on your face whenever you can. 3.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. 4. 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.

Hey,you—look up! Our iPhone addictions(瘾)are destroying public space and damaging the normal social communication. The host collects phones at the door of the dinner party. At a law firm,partners keep a“no-mobile phone”policy at meetings. Each day,a good number of people gather outside NewYork’s high schools, offering, for a small price, to store students’ mobile phones during the day. In public, it’s hard to think of a place beyond the darkness of the movie theater where phone use isn’t allowed. In truly public space-on sidewalks,in parks,on buses and on trains—we move with the face down, our phones shine like flashlights,
Consider the case of a recent murder on a San Francisco train. On Sept.23,in a crowded car, a man pulled a gun from his jacket. He raised the gun,pointing it across the aisle. He drew it out several more times, once using the hand holding the gun to wipe his nose. Dozens of passengers stood and sat just feet away—but none reacted. Their eyes,focused on smartphones, didn’t lift until the gunman fired a bulletin into the back of a San Francisco State student getting off the train.
There are thousands of similar stories that together sound the alarm for a new understanding of public space. In Japan,more than a dozen people fall off railway platforms while looking at their phones each year. Some experts there have called for bans on texting. Besides,many train station notices remind people to look where they are going,and even mobile phone companies have begun to educate users about the dangers of looking at a phone while walking.
The development of information technology is separating us from our surroundings. The urban theorist Malcolm McCullough writes“Closed in cars, often in headphones,seldom in places where they can communicate in person seldom choosing face-to-face meetings,moden citzens escaped from public life.

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.
Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
