 If I was a year 7 going into high school for the first time, what would I do? I would be the nicest person I could possibly be. I would be my authentic self as much as possible. I wouldn't try to fit into the most popular groups or impress everybody. I honestly would just do my thing. When I was at school for real, I tried to impress all the kids and that didn't really work for me. It took me a couple of years to realise that I just needed to express what I was genuinely interested in. And it wasn't actually footy. I didn't really like hanging out with the footy crowd. I actually enjoyed video games, playing board games, doing all the nerdy stuff. And the kids that I thought were a bit weird when I first got to school, I actually became more friends with later on because we had a lot of common interests. And because of that, I have now best mates for life. Be yourself and you'll be able to find the right people to hang out with all throughout high school.
