It is proven that people with 3-5 extra-curricular
activities do better in school, so don't over-load your schedule, but
don't be anti-social. Join clubs and extra-curricular activities
such as sports teams, drama clubs and other things that might
put on performances for the local community, or have competitions
against other learning institutions.

If you see someone being mean to a newbie, stand up for them.
Get yourself known as a great friend and helpful person and people will
respect you. Besides, if they can rely on you to help them, chances are
you can rely on them when you need help.

If someone looks upset and is on their own, go and check on them.
Invite them to hang out with you. If someone is sitting alone at lunch,
invite them to sit with you, or go to sit with them. Perhaps they're
very insecure, or have no friends. If you befriend them, you can help
them gain confidence in themselves. If they're on their own because they
have no friends, chat to them, invite them to go shopping with your
friends or to a movie.

When in a conversation, don't dominate it by going on and on about yourself.
Remember: almost everyone's favorite topic is themselves. People will
feel like they belong, and they'll feel happier and more comfortable in
front of people, rather than a sad little loner.

Relax! Once you are done with homework, have some fun. Maybe catch up on TV or start that game that you are dying to play!
