About This Quote

When you move away from home, you are entering that special place called high school. As you enter this new world, you are made to understand that there is one big rule when it comes to high schools: they are filled with popular kids, losers, and people who don't belong. Popular kids are often smart, but they are often brash and rude. They may be popular because of their looks or intelligence, but there is no doubt about it: they will be the ones making fun of you behind your back.

Your life will be full of unimportant people who want to hang out with you but don't really care about you. And then there are the teachers who will be constantly telling you what to do. They may not always be right, but they will always be around during the most important times in your life.

And the last thing that anyone wants to experience is getting into a fight with your school principal or the local chief of police.
