Peer Pressure is inevitable, but knowing you can say "no" or leave a situation is powerful. 

Never allow anyone to talk you into something you do not want to do or you know is wrong. 

Be True to Yourself !!

You have to learn that studying is important ! You need to review over instruction learned in class and study every night. This must be a routine that you follow regularly ! 

GET ORGANIZED ! USE YOUR LOCKER ! GET A PLANNER! GET A BINDER! CLEAN OUT YOUR BACKPACK! Studying is a whole lot easier when you can find things.

STOP STRESSING OVER EVERY GRADE! Sometimes you may not do as well but the key is being CONSISTENT by taking RESPONSIBILITY & OWNERSHIP. 

Know what the procedures are in each of your classes.  What do you do when you are absent?  How do you access your work?  When are the due dates?
