High school is filled with some of the shadiest people, and you just might be one of them. But it's okay; you probably don't know you're being a crappy person because it's what everyone does -- it just seems normal. If you do any of the following, it's okay; just stop doing them!
1. Stop Talking Smack
Everyone complains about other people, it's really just human nature. It's obviously justifiable at times because you simply just need to rant about this girl you thought gave you a dirty look in the hallway. In the long run this so called "dirty look" you got probably took up .7 seconds of your time. But you're probably going to spend the rest of your day telling everyone you can about how rude she was and how you feel disrespected. OR you can let it roll off your shoulders and enjoy the rest of your day because you'll eventually forget it happened.
2. There Are Kind People Who Have A Resting B*tch Face
As someone who suffers from the permanent condition that is resting b*tch face I am telling those who do not have it to please give us a break. All of my friends have confessed that before we became friends they thought I was mean or intimidating, but this was before they talked to me. After talking to me, they realized that I was nothing like that. So lesson is: don't judge a book by its cover, and think about all the friendships you could have if you gave people with resting b*tch face a chance.
3. Don't Pretend To Be Friends With Someone You Don't Like
You should be kind to everyone and treat others the way you want to be treated. But do not make someone think you are their friend when you actually hate them. You don't have to go out of your way to let someone you know that they aren't your favorite person. But don't give them a false sense of friendship; it's a jerk move.
4. Be Straight Forward
If you have a problem with someone, take it up with them and tell them directly what is wrong instead of telling everyone else about it. It will save a lot of your time, avoid a lot of drama, and make everything a lot easier.
5. Make Sure Your Business Stays Your Business
It's YOUR business, not everyone else's. If you're beefin' with someone, it only needs to stay between the two of you. Don't put it on social media and don't tell everyone else about it.
6. Stay Out Of Other People's Business
This is really one of the worst things you can do; don't get involved with things that don't concern you. You are irrelevant to whatever is going on -- don't try and make yourself apart of it when you don't need to be. It's just not cool to pry into other people's business.
It's okay if you do these things and don't realize it. I'm just telling you now that you should probably stop.
