To Students

Don't follow trends. Odds are you won't look like how you want to, and if you do, someone will always be there who will show you up. Don't complain when this happens. It's not worth the effort.

Leggings aren't pants, girls. Boys' minds aren't perfect, and neither is your rear end.

Pull up your pants, boys. You aren't thugs. Get a belt. No one, and I mean NO ONE wants to see your baggy underwear sticking out of your shredded XL Levi's. Wear nice pants in the appropriate size.

Don't stand around in hallways. Cows chewing their cud, when prodded, move faster than you do when you're told to move as you're cussing someone out or complaining about the school . You block and infuriate people who want to get places and to not be late, which you will be.

If you paid attention in Earth Science you will know that the world does not revolve around you. Neither does the universe. Don't be awful to people because you disagree with them and therefore think you are a better person because the way you think is better. You're not, and it's not.

No, your school does NOT suck. Stop complaining.

If school food doesn't kill you, skipping breakfast and lunch will.

Do your homework. It saves you guilt and punishment.

Always say to your teachers, "Have a great day," and thank them. They work hard for you.

Always anticipate learning something new in class, unless you have a textbook-following teacher. But even with dull teachers, the textbooks have hidden facts that you may have never known.

Discovery is the true teacher of knowledge.

It's important to worry about grades, but also remember that your hair is precious. Don't let stress get literally to your head or your luscious locks are the first thing to go.

Don't judge the "weird" people. You look like cloned robots to them.

And finally, say thank you to the janitors.
