How to Survive (and Thrive) In High School

Description


There are a lot of topics that aren't discussed (that should be!) as kids become young adults. I hope that my trials and errors can help prepare incoming high schoolers for the next four years. How to Survive (and Thrive) in High School doesn't just cover "school" topics–it discusses life outside of the classroom, as it's just as important. I include all the lessons I've learned in order to give readers a sense of power over their own lives, and to inspire confidence and motivation. Each chapter dives into various topics all relevant to the life of a high schooler, such as college applications, drugs, parents, dating, etc. Though I don't know much about your specific situation–your culture, income, opportunities... I do know that you have so much potential! I'm a firm believer that your time in high school will be specific to you and your experiences, and lessons that you learn, and what you do with them.
