Advice for people in highschool #shorts

“Mean girls aren’t actually mean, they’re just insecure.” No they are still mean. They still make other people feel bad about themselves. But most are insecure and that’s why they do it.

I actually have a tip: if someone’s being an ass just start complimenting them and being super nice. It will embarrass the hell out of them and make them feel bad

I can 100% confirm that the big friend group hates each over. As soon as one person is gone everyone starts talking shit about them

Her: "that big group that looks like so much fun and you're dying to be a part of it!"
Me, an introvert: Ha, extrovert problems

Some more advice: some big groups are big because they let people that have been through bullying, lied about, or had been alone joins together and forms a great friend group

I love how you mentioned how Not peaking thru high school is a good sign bc it really is! I constantly had to remind myself that all thru out hs and it got me thru it more than anything

Facts. That big group of “friends” don’t really wanna be your friends. Speaking from experience.

Here’s a tip from me: Bullies aren’t always insecure about themselves. Some like the attention, to be in the spotlights, others are just dicks. Try not to give them satisfaction (how depends on the situation). Also you can be picked on for no freaking reason at all. So don’t blame yourself (I know it’s hard. I still struggle with it myself). I once got to ask two of my past bullies why they did it. They couldn’t even come up with a reason at first. Eventually they said random stuff like “because you have a Belgium accent”. I’m Dutch and I don’t have an accent as far as I know. Even so it would’ve been a stupid reason.

As someone who is an ex member of that big group, yes, they all hate each other. Everyone talked bad about each other—even to their faces. I was bullied by the mean girl which forced me to leave but it was a blessing in disguise because although it was fun it was so toxic. My advice…keep to a friend group of 4 or 5. Not 20

As someone who has a huge friend group I can testify. Not even popular, but there is still ALWAYS someone that is being chased out of the group and someone being brought it. The sad part is with our best friend (or just our small group inside the group) we are genuinely sweet

[anonymousbishh]

but how do u know that big group actually hate each other tho?? 😭😭
they just seem like a solid and GORGEOUS circle of friends, and honestly having to see them hangout and just laugh together makes me feel lonelier and lonelier each day.
That's life ig 😢

[isj]

my biggest regret was not putting effort into anything to try to look cool, don’t care what people think of you and try hard at everything you do

[sourdough_bagel]

The big circle of "popular" kids *honestly do* hate each other. I'm pretty quiet which means I overhear a sh*ton of things that I'm not supposed to in class, such as all the "popular" girls insulting each other based on their tans, hair, mascara, bags, wealth, relationship history etc...
It's crazy.
Edit: This is based off of my experiences, I'm not talking for or about everyone :)

[minrinie]

The big group thing is so real.. I just wished I found that out earlier bfr joining it. Regret it so much now everyone literally talks shit about each other and it was rlly toxic. That group made me rlly insecure abt my appearance, family background and weight. I do NOT recommend joining such groups lol

As someone who was never one to say much while in school, it’s important that you try to keep it that way. You learn soooo much just by shutting up, not talking too much about yourself or others and listening while also not belonging to any one “group” in particular. I for example, was somewhat of a “nerd” that did pretty well in Science, English and Math, but was also part of the Baseball team for my Freshman and Sophomore years. While also cool with the class clowns/bad kids.

I totally agree with the take pics of everything. im in HS and still look back and cry over photos of past memories years ago. TAKING PICS even if you dont look your best its oh-k. (hint hint you dont have to post everything on social media)
