Forget haunted houses.
Forget the zombie apocalypse.

The scariest thing youll ever encounter in life is the teen drama show.
Only the strongest survive in a world where betrayal, tragedy, and broken hearts are just another Tuesday.
Avoid romances with people in your high school
Honestly, this is a no-brainer.
So, yeah, rather than date people from the same school as you, look outward.
Maybe try long-distance dating or see someone from a neighboring town.
Whatever you do, do not get sucked into relationships within the same friendship circles or school.
Dont keep anything in your locker
High school lockers are meant to be practical.
Heres the thing: They arent safe in teen drama shows.
Be a step ahead of the nefarious pack: Do not use your locker at all.
Prepare for your best friends betrayal
Sorry, but this is the truth.
Friends in teen drama shows are the shallowest people youll ever have the displeasure of meeting.
You know the phrase: Reason, season, or lifetime?
These pals are almost always seasonal.
Hey, its devious to do, but it might make them think twice before crossing you again.
Heck, Marissa Cooper even died after a big crash inThe O.C.So, what does this teach us?
Simple: Do not travel in cars in a teen drama show.
Whether its somebody else driving the car, or you driving yourself, dont do it.
Instead, take public transport like a bus.
No one ever sees a bus crash in these series.
Alternatively, if youre on a budget, watch a few episodes ofMindhunter.
So, why go through all of this when the homeschooling option exists?
This isnt just homeschooling; its the dream.
Plus, its a case of out of sight, out of mind.
No one is going to start trouble with you if they dont know you exist.
