At the end of the last school year, we asked a group of freshmen boys what advice they would give to boys who would be frosh next year. This is their list. Why not do something like this with your groups of guys and gals?1. Think for yourself. Be an Individual. Being popular isn’t everything
2. Don’t get a job as a Frosh unless you absolutely have to have one for your family.
3. High school won’t be half as bad as they say it will be.
4. Your male peers are as confused as you are about everything.
5. Don’t try to do everything and wear yourself out. You can’t do it all.
6. Don’t let sports take over life. There are other important things like food, for example.
7. Maintain a close relationship with your parents.
8. Don’t let a girl friend control you.
9. Figure out what you believe about God now.
10. Make sure you take P.E before you are a Senior.
11. Everything changes. You will have different friends one year from now.
12. Just don’t worry about things. It won’t help.
13. Everywhere you look, there will be couples doing stuff that will make you uncomfortable. Don’t be one of those couples.
14. You you will fail at things. It is okay. It makes the future better.
15. Learn to talk more about things. Say what is on your mind. Serious stuff will arise soon.
16. Your parents will sometimes lie to you to help you. They freak out about stuff and they have to because they have to help you.
17. Don’t judge other people because you don’t know what their problem is.
18. Don’t do something because it seems cool, because it probably isn’t cool later.
