Back-to-School Month in August

Since the entire month is considered Back to School Month, here are tips for high school and college students. Going back to school requires responsibility, self-discipline,  and lots of focus. Usually, in the first year, there might be bullying, rumoring, and lots of peer pressure.  However, these things might make it difficult to focus. Therefore,  avoid being with these groups of people in High school.  

Do make friends in your first year of high school or college. Be careful in selecting your friends and dating partner. Be yourself and do not imitate your friends.  Discuss the assignments but never copy from each other.  Study in a group and motivate each other.  

Make time to go to sleep early. Have your clothes ready before you go to school or college. If you have to make a schedule, make sure to follow it. Making new habits for studying, sleeping, and eating will help you socialize with your friends. Try to sleep early on the weekends too so you can be less sleepy on Mondays. 

Be cautious of your surroundings. If you have to take a bus, carpool, share rides, or take a taxi service make sure you get on the correct vehicle. Do not travel by yourself if you walk home. Have a friend, sibling, or an adult you can trust when walking to school or your home. Check-in with your parents or another relative about where you are going. 

If you are attending after-school activities, parties, or other events do not engage in alcohol. Consuming alcohol at an early age makes you lose your ability to think clearly. Resist the attraction to drinking alcohol and taking drugs. Do not be forced to do something that makes you feel guilty afterward. Additionally, engaging in casual hookups leads to dangerous consequences. 

Be aware of anything suspicious in your school or college. Report anything that looks unusual such as an unattended backpack, thermos, or other items. Practice good hygiene by washing your hands or using hand sanitizers. If you feel comfortable wearing a face mask do wear one. Follow your school or college guidelines for Covid-19 and other viruses. 

Remain calm and talk to your professors about the homework, extra credit, or what to study for the tests. If you are taking night classes, use the buddy system to go to the restroom and the classroom. Enjoy your school and college activities. Make sure you can handle homework and your job at the same time. Below are more links for back-to-school tips.
