However, I was a loner and I feel it was to my own detriment. Socializing as a sole Muslim representative is an amazing way to do daw'ah and get recognition for leadership qualities and spreading diversity etc. I realized this much later on (senior year) when in retrospect, I could have been much more approachable throughout high school and maybe opened a few more minds, made a few better impressions. It's definitely a slippery slope though, when its either influence others or be influenced... Wa Allahu alam.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-11632">1</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I think alot of the advice is helpful and somehow I did most of those things while in high school.

High school really is a waste of time, though. Imagine how much more we could accomplish without the distractions of trying to fit in (but this is where your advice comes in handy), the distractions that have nothing to do with learning anything, etc. But for those who have no choice, you do need to be a loner and be very careful with who you befriend. Also, I encourage high school students whose parents are not that involved in their life to involve their parents and other adult family members and community members in their school life.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-11557">1</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> as salamu alaykum
