The best thing to do is rise above it. Study your a** off, work hard and pay attention despite any classroom disturbances. Ask you parent(s) to become involved in the PTA to help give the teachers the support they need to teach their students more effectively. Become friends with your teachers, and actively participate in class discussions both in class and outside of it. If teachers notice you showing interest, they will help you along. Get involved in community -building activities, like food drives, student government, and even AIDS education programs.
Be your own person. If you are strong on the inside you will be able to fight peer pressure. Don't touch drugs, no matter how good your friends can make it seem. Don't have sex until you are out of high school, regardless of how much you may like the guy. Just look on the street corner at the crack whores and your neighbor girl who had 4 kids before she's 18, and that should give you plenty of strength to fight back.
There have been a lot of people who became successful after a 'hood education, and it wasn't because they skated by...
Students CAN succeed if they give themselves the tools, and I had college classmates who were proof of this! One young man I knew had a mother who died of a cocaine overdose, and a dad who was in jail. He graduated top of his class in a school w/ a 75% dropout rate, and got his master's degree in economics... He was the teaching assistant for my college statistics class, and was a very strong person. He always said, "If you want it, no one will just give it to you. You have to get up and get it for yourself..."

i'm stlll in extreme college, and that i'm gonna be a junior. there is a number of loopy issues that I did in my previous 2 years. yet one aspect i will undergo in concepts from this previous 3 hundred and sixty 5 days is, a number of my football teammates and that i determined to bypass out for lunch. And our college is a closed campus, so we are no longer meant to leave for the period of lunch. So we left the college campus, and ate out at a close quickly nutrients position. each and every thing develop into going nice, except that we were operating previous due and our instructions already began. So when we finally reached the college motor vehicle parking zone, we were given out of the motorized vehicle. And all we heard develop into, " hi! YALL ARENT meant to leave THE CAMPUS!" It seems between the coaches were accessible. So we tried to run off, notwithstanding the doors were locked to get into the college. finally someone enable us in, yet there have been somemore coaches contained in the hallway. We were so scared. Then we stated the coaches speaking contained in the hallway, and that i knew it develop into over. They stuck us. And it did not help that i develop into wearing a outstanding yellow blouse that day. So after practice some days later the coaches referred to as us up. And we had to do a collection of punishment contained in the chilly. yet me and my acquaintances concept it develop into properly worth it, a minimum of we were given to devour out. strong cases!

I think all schools have druggies and theres nothign you can do to stop it just stick with the good group and dont make any bad choices. If you are scared of peer pressure dont put yourself in the position where you would have to give in
good luck and be safe

Not everyone that is going there is necessarily a bad kid, so just choose your friends wisely, there are probably other people feeling just as nervous as you are believe me! Be strong and dont give in to peer pressure. Dont do anything you are uncomfortable with and, if they are your true friends, they will accept it when you say "no" and wont pressure you further. Good luck!! :-)

oh your high school is nothing. my high school is insane. first of all its a new high school and all the druggies got kicked out of another high school nearby so they all transferred over to my school. last year a girl was arrested because she was going to come and shoot people from different parts of the campus so now she's on house arrest. theres tons of fights and drug busts and we have a tons of goths and emo's. if you think your future high school is crazy you have no idea. spend a day at basha high school in chandler arizona and your opinion will change

I think all high schools these days are crazy to some extent, but if you're really that scared of everything, talk to your parents about it.

most schools are crazy these days. maybe you can make one or two friends while you are there but mostly its best to just keep to yourself and then you won't have any problems. if you are talking to someone that brings up drugs you can politely excuse yourself. this whole country is wrecked.
