Q:
I need some comments or tips about High School! Please help!!!
Hi!
I'm about to enter a new school that I will be staying at for the remainder of my education before college.
I want to be successful both intellectually and socially in school, which is a bit self-contradicting because unfortunately in these times it's hard to stay afloat socially and be able to concentrate on school as much as I would like to. In the past, I was tagged "antisocial" and put through hell because I was always reading or studying for a test, ect. In 5'th grade I didn't work on schoolwork much because I was trying too hard for me to stay high up there in the bloody popularity contest! Balancing the two is very hard because drift slightly either way and you're a hopeless nerd or a evil female dog who's out to get everyone.
Any tips or comments would be very highly appreciated!!!!
Thank you so much!

I really liked the "best answer" that was chosen- you should be able to nurture your intellectual as well as social needs if you decide to participate in an academic club.
If you decide not to join a club, the best advice that I can give you is just be yourself. If you are happiest reading and studying- then do it! When you go to college, a whole new world filled with a wide variety of people will open up to you. Maybe high school is just not your scene. Hopefully, college will be able to provide you with the balance that you've been seeking.
Good luck :)

School is tough. But learning IS WAY more important than having a huge social life. The better you do in high school the better the college, the scholarships etc. I was generally friends with everyone and played the sports i liked, i worked, and still was able to graduate early. I had a few close friends and spent my time doing things i liked. I didnt try and fit in to things i didnt like or change my beliefs. Being someone who didnt drink or do drugs i avoided those situations. You will do great. Just stay true to yourself!
