3 Things They Don't Teach You in High School That Could Change Your Life Forever

High school is the scene of many nightmares for many grown adults. Known as "Popularity Rules High" any high school could fit the bill for being an unfortunate time in the life of the average college nerd. However, there are actually just a few nuggets of knowledge that can make those four years of high school quite peaceful. I wish I had known these things myself, but at least now I can share them.

The people in high school, who are the most popular right now, will be the least popular later on.

You would be surprised how many beautiful girls who are the envy of everyone, end up pregnant out of wedlock just a few years out of high school or even while they are still in high school. So a lot of the time young average-looking girls spend obsessing over why they can't look at as pretty as those other girls is actually wasted.

That's because average looking high-school girls are forced to develop character from the teasing they have to deal with and the fact that everything isn't handed to them on a silver platter. Not that all pretty girls are spoiled and promiscuous, but in general, it's not worth it to think about pretty vs. average. Character is something that not everyone has, but you don't have to look hard to find another pretty face.

What people make fun of you for now is actually your best attribute.

When I was in school, people always said I had a high-pitched and proper voice. I always had a problem with their teasing even to the point of not socializing too much. But when I grew up, I found that my voice was an asset that not many other people could say they had. The way I spoke got me jobs and I've even been told I should do voiceovers. So High school can be a place of teasing, but it also can be a place of discovery. So ask yourself what people are saying to you, and really think about how it might help you in the future. If you have not yet reached that level of maturity, just do this one thing: Don't waste time worrying about what they are saying.

High school is a place that gives people opportunities to be cool, athletic, sexy, and bullying, but after high school is over, those opportunities are gone.

After high school, sexy and beautiful doesn't go to far if you don't have a good head on your shoulders to match all of that. Athletic? Well, that will get you a college scholarship, but after college, most athletes get regular jobs just like you. So the best advice for a high school student is this: Remember that all things come to an end. Four years isn't that long in a lifetime.
