High School Commandments

High school is a tough transitioning time for adolescents worldwide. Middle schoolers have mixed feelings on what to expect in highschool and usually feel nervous about what others will think of them. Commandments or what we in modern day call rules, guide us on how we can live happily and respectfully.

Rules today are similar but varied because the rules can also be considered guidelines in which we follow to lead us in the right direction. Since many teens struggle on what are the right ways to act in highschool, so I have created commandments in which I think are essential for a positive high school experience.

It is important to put forth your best effort into every assignment you complete and not wait until the last minute because it takes off unnecessary

If you wear skimpy clothing or dirty clothes, people may think you are sloppy because you do not care about your appearance enough to wear cleaned, ironed clothes. I am not suggesting that you should alter the way you project yourself to please others but to just act in a respectable manner. It is important to conduct yourself in a manner that is appropriate for your surroundings because you are judged on first
