"Let me know" is a rubric for our readers' stories. Every week we launch a survey and are waiting for your comments. Last week we asked what tips would help you become more successful and happier in school. We publish the most important. Send the article to your young friends.
1. Polina: "Tutors until 11 pm are a so—so idea, and the Unified State Exam is not the end of the world. If you give yourself a rest, your future will not fall apart".
2. Alya: "Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself if teachers offend you."
3. Elena: "Don't be shy about an early‑grown breast : it won't grow anymore (a‑ha-ha), but the stoop will remain. And finally put on your glasses! They do not spoil vision, but save it. Others don't care if you're wearing glasses or not."
4. Olga: "Don't suffer over homework. Talk more, go for a walk, spend time with friends. Relive your childhood and adolescence age in time".
5. Alexey: "Don't worry about grades, learn programming and mathematics."
6. Julia: " Pay more attention to what you like, not what you don't like."
7. Kristina: "Don't skip classes because of a guy, he's not the only love in your life. And anyway, it's not worth it..."
8. Radik: "Maybe mathematical equations won't be needed in life, but the neurons formed when solving these equations will be useful."
9. Anonymous: "Concentrate on the subject of study , and not on the teacher and the fear of him. Now I am 28 years old, I work as a programmer and get a lot of pleasure from studying exact sciences. At school, I was afraid of teachers on them and, accordingly, received poor grades."
10. Daria: "Focus on the really important subjects. The top three in algebra in the certificate worries only after graduation, and at 26 you won't even remember about it."
11. Anonymous: "You're not weird at all. In no case do not listen to your classmates. Believe me, it's all right with you."
12. Sofia: "Don't stop dreaming. Don't be afraid. Don't be shy. Don't worry. Don't panic. It's difficult, but it's possible. Shame and guilt are imposed to manipulate you. Fear, excessive emotions and other destructive feelings will not help solve the problem."
13. Daria: " Between health and successful exams, it would be better to choose the first. Losing consciousness on the Unified State Exam is such a prospect."
14. Anonymous: "Buy Bitcoin properly..."
15. Valeria: " Don't try to blend in with the crowd. Your differences make you unique. Your unusual way of looking at things will still help you in life. Don't be afraid to be known as a dreamer and an oddball."
16. Ekaterina: "Put braces on your parents' money!»
17. Sofia: "At school, they don't ask how your environment treats you, whether your rights are respected. At school, they don't teach you to love and respect yourself, to protect your own opinion, to seek help, to manage finances.
But remember that you have to fight for yourself in battle. Try to be brave and fearless. Train self-esteem and self-confidence. Look for "your own", favorite, important — something that brings inspiration. Learn to distinguish between your own and someone else's, especially desires. Strengthen your physical and psychological health. Don't let yourself be fooled. Speak up. Politely and competently put the offenders in their place, or better yet, explain your opinion to them. Even if it's relatives, teachers, the government, and so on."
18. Anonymous: "Eat well and maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is better to introduce these habits into your life as a teenager. Then it will be more difficult."
19. Anonymous: "Don't be friends with those who think that drinking and smoking is cool. Be friends with those who are trying to be better and more successful."
20. Elena: "Respect other people and don't forget to love yourself."
