Welcome to Gaia! ::

NOTE: You can find the exact same guide in my forums post in the survival guide post. I am not a troll. xD



Now here's how you can get the basics on surviving school. For many years now, you have been building up to this day, every action, word, thing you've ever done in front of people, makes your, aura.
Your aura is your personality. To do this guide well, you should a neutral aura. Your not too "nerd", or too "popular", you hang with both clicks, but hopefully, mostly with, lets call em, "neutries", who have connections to popular people, but they themselves are mild.
Now, with that said, we will begin.

To start out with:
Act like your aura, sudden changes make people feel awkward, if one day your normal, and the next wacky, its not good.

Don't talk about your, lets call it, "thing", or any other changes you are experiencing, too much. Its funny, and a converation starter, (xD) however, its not something you want to constantly stress over.

Act like you would to a friend as a classmate. Just simply sitting and accepting a small conversation starter helps to, "get in".

Lets also add on the all important issue of, height.
Now lets face it, girls like tall guys, or at least on par with their own heigth. And sadly, so do your friends. If you are extremely short, than mosty people, this guide may not be for you, as it is probably impossible to fit in with a neutrie or popular group.

If you are tall chances are, you have a pretty good athletic ability, or popularity. Just go with it. Make friends with those of all height. Enjoy your towering ness as a rolemodel, or else, i've seen it, even your fellow tallies will talk about you behind your back.

Now on a personal note, I guess i'm, medium height. Not by much though. It helps to just act like your aura, and it will be much easier to fit in. For example, I hang out with many kids that used to tower over me that now are quite shorter. Did I pound them for years of poorly tasted short jokes?
Naa. I just went with the flow, and they enjoy it.
However, its always a comfort knowing any time they make a dumb remark, your can seriously hurt them.

So forget about height when dealing with people. Its not really, if you can deal, a big issue. One day most of you will be around the same height anyways. So, chill.

Also, lets focus on clothes. Ahhh, yes, the important issue of clothing. Lets face it, your going to get made fun of for bad clothes. Thats why I get close that fit with the neutries. Not Hollister aberwhatever the f--- south f--ing dumb pole or hot flopit s--t.
And, not nerdy shirts or plain ones either. I wear ones that fit my aura well.

I wear jeans that somewhat fit nicely around my legs, and shirts that are black with my aura's likes, or any color for that matter. I also have a pair of shoes that actually match my outfit.

So wear what you know people will like, don't take a dangerous chance at something.

I'd also like to add, wear clothes that fit your aura, height, and body build.
Most importantly to add, ones that do not stand out with your body form. Like if you have big shoulders and skimpy arms (I know first hand) don't wear tiny t shirts or tight full armers. If you have, lets face it, manoobies, so don't wear a tight shirt that exposes them and their many rolls, even if they are smaller.
Don't wear tight tight jeans if you have bigger thighs, as this will look hideous. Don't wear baggy shirts if you are skinny, or shoes too big for you.
(I have feet that surpass my body frame by alot, that is why I wear jeans that can conceal some of this, and not shorts.)
Same can be with your hands. If you are like me or many people I know, your hands are big and veiny, and you can't change that, as they usually look slightly larger than would fit your frame, you can fix this by looser t shirts, as it will all go together.

Always remember, most high schools have gyms for your usage, and you can somewhat change your looks by that.

Lets end today's "lesson" with a tip on self confidence. Do not look at yourself and comb your hair publicly. Its just wierd. There are bathrooms, you know.

More tommorow.

To a certain point, be who you are. As I said before, this guide is for those who are "neutries".
If you are not or not close to, just be yourself, like Lynnea says. You can't change who you are in that aspect.
