Like, want to gently caress a girl? Stop obsessing about it nonstop. Desperation is a stinky cologne and if you aren't pursuing them nonstop girls will be more interested.

Practice making the phone vibration noise with your mouth without it being obvious. Record audio clips on your computer and practice in front of a webcam to be sure. The biggest trick to making it sound legit is the emphasis on lower frequencies at the end as it goes silent.

Turn off your phone completely.

Make this noise during class when the teacher is trying to talk.

Keep making it.

If the teacher figures out it's coming from your area and asks for your phone, it's already off.

This will drive the less stable teachers absolutely nuts.

Do a sport. Do any of them it does not matter which. It always helps to not be a fat friendless piece of poo poo with only weirdo, echo-chamber friends, and actually joining a team and doing things that require skill and focus will serve to make you a better person as you get older

I've got the world on a string.


Even if you have zero intention of ever going to college, keep your GPA up and practice hard for the SAT/ACT just in case. I knew people who got serious about academics way too late and ended up unable to get into any non-poo poo tier universities (at least without spending two more years living with mom and dad and attending community college with no scholarships).

Which part? I haven't been in high school for a while now but I think they do on both counts. Student Council will never go away as long as there is some kid angling for Harvard that wants to put it on their resume

I meant the Sadie Hawkins dances. Those are the ones where the girls are supposed to ask out the boys, right?


I have no doubt there will always be student councils in at least some high schools.

No. NO gently caress NO gently caress YOU FOREVERRRR


OP skate by and barely graduate. Then get into your local community college and try (somewhat) hard for 2 years and do a guaranteed transfer program into a 'real' university. Boom, you got into a good school (the degree is exactly the same and all) and didn't have to bust rear end and waste your HS years like the other nerdlingers. And you saved the first two years of outrageously expensive tuition.

Unless you're in some idiot state that slashed all their education funding I guess then you might just be screwed gl try not to get addicted to drugs.

We do what we must because WAAAAAAAAAGH!

Play one sport, join at least a couple clubs (they don't take that much time, it's more a way to get to know people who share your interests better), take a language that interests you instead of just whatever people say will be useful because you won't practice a language that bores you and sometimes you get a trip to the country of origin at the end. Make at least a few friends you like well enough to have over at your house or go places with because the friends you see outside of school become the friends you keep in touch with as an adult. If you have a crush who's in one of your classes, or especially one of your clubs, you can invite them to "study" the material with you outside of class- at public places if you want to be easy with it at first, or invite them to your house if you're feeling bold. At worst this means you get studying done with someone attractive, at best you get nothing done and have lots of sex. Develop your oral sex skills. Do so with the lights on so you can see if you're getting into anything that looks infectious (not that you can always tell, admittedly, but try to have sex with relatively inexperienced people if possible). If you're into boys, they will expect and appreciate this and if you're also a girl it will keep you from getting pregnant without the inconvenience of condoms (which most guys hate anyway, although with teenage boys at least it makes them last longer). If you're into girls, they will often be surprised and impressed that you're actually willing to take the time to get them off because teenage boys are usually terrible about that. If drugs (including alcohol) are offered at a party, don't try to impress anybody by taking more than anyone else, or even just keeping up with people who seem to be taking a lot. You'll be cooler for knowing your own limits and not getting completely trashed, and when they're freaking out and needing a ride somewhere because they heard the cops are coming, you can still drive. Do your best to make sure you have a car, or at least, a motorcycle, which are cheaper and cooler and not really that hard to learn to ride. It doesn't have to be a good one. You'll probably wreck it anyway. But try not to wreck it. Especially if it's a motorcycle because you may die. Don't show off while driving. Don't show off, period, actually. Acting like you don't need to impress people is itself impressive, as long as you're not ugly/unpopular. If you're playing a sport regularly you'll be in good shape, at least. If you have bad skin get your parents to take you to a dermatologist, they have pills for that, you don't need to be agonizing over your face for years when you can just fix it. Don't be the first one to arrive at a party or the last one to leave. Pay attention in your classes so you can be good at the tests and can skip the homework when you have conflicting social obligations. Also teachers will like you if you are attentive in class, and will be more forgiving of any oversights. Take some harder classes to challenge and interest yourself, and some easy ones to get breaks in your day and less/faster homework. Bathe more than you think you need to; teenagers often smell pretty strongly and smelling nice without being soaked in body spray or perfume or whatever is important. All you really need is an antiperspirant, shampoo and conditioner, sunscreen, and maybe chapstick. Wear clean socks and keep your feet dry as much as you can. Don't smoke.
