  1. Playing dumb can usually get you out of a lot of trouble
  2. f act like you know everything, you'll often find you get more information that way
  3. Don't take guy/girl relationships too seriously at first. If they turn out to be, you can be pleasently surprised, but if they're not then you won't be so hurt
  4. Attitude is everything. Life sucks, but it will only get you down if you let it
  5. Grades may be important, but not as much as your true friends are
  6. No one wants to be around someone who is always depressed. Ironically, these people are often depressed because no one wants to be around them

  10. Feel good about yourself. If your outgoing and friendly, you will be much better off than if your always shy and depressed
  11. Additions:
