Notes de l'éditeur
- When I was coming to high school, I had no idea what to expect. I was scared of many things. I think that my topic is perfect because it is helpful to others, and that is why it is important to me.
- This quote is perfect for the upcoming freshman because when they enter high school, they will need the courage to grow up and become who they are. That is what high school is all about.
- Let the people know why you don&#x2019;t do drugs or drink, simply by just saying &#x201C;No thanks, I don&#x2019;t drink, I don&#x2019;t believe it&#x2019;s good for me&#x201D; If your asked to do drugs, suggest an alternative Avoid parties where you know there will be drugs or alcohol Switch the subject, even by saying &#x201C;No thanks, I don&#x2019;t want to. Listen, let&#x2019;s go check out the game&#x201D; Real friends want what&#x2019;s best for each other- and that does not include drugs or alcohol.
- Peer pressure can be good or bad. This quote is about how you learn from your peers, either in a good or bad way.
- -Negative peer pressure is giving in to doing drugs, or underage drinking just because your friends are. -If peer pressure is continuing throughout your life, and you can&#x2019;t handle, talk to someone you trust. -Talking to a parent, teacher, or school counselor can help you feel better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure -If enough kids get together, peers can pressure each other into doing what's right!
- For example: I will go to a party if an adult Is present. I will look for friends who believe drug abuse and drinking are wrong.
- Join a sports team, or positive clubs such as SADD. Your decisions to use positive friendship pressure are influencing at least one person-you. And that Is the best possible influence you can have. By accepting people for who they are, you can help relieve friendship pressure others face.
- High school has something for everyone, sports, music, art, or after school clubs.
- A high school student shouldn&#x2019;t spend every waking moment after school studying, it&#x2019;s an escape that is not only good for you, but is fun too.
- By getting involved in any activity of some kind, you interact with people who share the same interests as you.
- This quote is perfect for my project because this is what every new comer thinks and will experience.
- If you really learn the material, you will do well. If you&#x2019;re uptight about getting an A, the pressure you put on yourself could interfere with your performance. Always try your best.
- It takes some time to adjust and learn the ins and outs of your classes. Be realistic about the expectations you give yourself. Almost everyone takes a little while to adjust.
- If you keep all of this up, and not let anything distract you, this should all come at ease.
- This graph shows that the more the student understands, the better grades they get.
- This describes what the halls are actually like, students would be surprised to see how chaotic and noisy the hallways actually are.
- This has to do with all the different cultures, and whoever you are, you will fit in with somebody in high school.
- I think this is the most important tip to know coming to high school. You are meeting different kinds of people and learning which ones you like to spend time with and which ones you don&#x2019;t. Enjoy these years of fun.
- Procrastination is a common problem in school, and also a problem that affects other areas of your life, such as chores or extra-curricular activities.
- With some careful thought, you can manage the demands and still maintain your balance.
