The most important rule of school is: Have someone to back you up. The more popular you are, the better. I wrote a guide to popularity, if your uncertain, read that.

Having friends:

The best way to survive school without being picked on, is having friends. If you are friendless, whether you choose to or not, you will automatically be a target to EVERYONE! One friend is not a wise choice either, unless that one friend happens to be the most popular kid in school. Otherwise, one can’t do much. 2 friends is what your goal is. Two loyal friends will get you out of anything.

So the point being: If you have friends, or even followers, you have a better chance of not being the loser, but also not being the target. Say, you accidentally knock over a vase, and all of the teachers flip out, your friends should help you there by saying something like “A bully called (Possibly someone you hate) pushed him and he hit the vase accidentally”  One person won’t do any good, but two will “I was with him! I was just to scared to do anything, that bully is so mean!” There you go! Right there, you killed 2 birds with one stone! You got your arch enemy in trouble, and you got out of trouble too.

So the thing NOT to do here: Don’t NOT have Friends.

The Retard:

One thing you should keep in mind is: Don’t be the retard of the classroom. Being a little dumb is okay, but if your the stupidest in the class, that’s not even cool any more. If you were ever under the impression that being smart is nerdy, than I’m sorry to say, you must be the retard of the planet. No, you can never be too smart, cause once the retard that was good at sports but was stupid drops out of high school and lives in a cardboard box for the rest of his life gets money handed to him by the kid he picked because he was too smart but now a multimillion air cause he went to Yale and now he has the best job, the retards gonna feel like a loser. So, My advice to you: Do NOT be the retard. In fact, if you befriend someone that is smart, you can do anything, and the smart kid will get you out.

The Bragger:

Know what you can do, and memorise what you can’t. Wanna know why? Cause if you go around saying you can beat so and so at a game of so and so, and you lose, you go DOWN. You’ll be dubbed as a loser, and a retard, and no one will like you. But then again, If you truly are talented at so and so, and you do beat so and so at it, then you may boast a little. But trust me, if you find yourself in a popular post, and you start bragging like crazy, your gonna get thrown out, and not even the losers that you picked on will let you join there table. So the thing NOT to do here: Do NOT bite more than you can chew. If you do, you may not be able to spit it out.

Know who you pick on:

The most embarrassing thing is being bossed around by the person you picked on. So if you are going to pick on someone, even though I will advise you to not, seeing that your reputation will go down, and your little followers might laugh, but everyone else will just hate you. Anyway, if you do, make sure you have a backup plan. If you pick on the smartest kid in school, he might get his revenge harder than you picked on him. Cause probably he will become grade president, and when you need help, he’s gonna make your life miserable. So the thing not to do here: Do NOT pick on someone that has a future.

Teacher’s pet:

One thing you should watch out for is the teacher’s pet. He/she will tattle on you for the smallest things. So, My advice: Stay away from the teacher’s pet. Trust me, he/she can make your life miserable, so if you are planning something that is rule breaking, then always make a mental list of all the teacher’s pets, and always have a lookout, and make sure you have a good excuse ready, one that is believable and rule abiding. Also, make sure you talk casually if you are caught, the teacher’s pet is always trained in the arts of finding the truth. And the most important rule ever: NEVER PICK ON THE TEACHER’S PET!!! You will be done for if you do. Make sure you never talk directly in front of him, or else you and your friend are both in detention. So the thing not to do here: Do NOT cross the teacher’s pet, and do NOT get caught by him/her.

If you follow these 5 simple rules, you should have a normal or good life. I say normal cause normal is as good as a good life.
