The “Golden Rule”
The most important rule you need to follow is the old good proverb – treat the others the way you wish to be treated. In other words, make sure to respect the others. The thing is that respect is a so-called two-way street. Through respecting the other classmates, you will receive respect back. The “Golden Rule” of treating the other people – make sure to keep it in mind. How to succeed in it? First of all, do not “bad-mouth” your colleagues. In case there is a problem, try handling it directly with the individual instead of talking behind their back. Second of all, make certain to “see the other side of the street”. Think about the views of the other person (even if it seems too difficult for you) and figure out what makes her / him being opposing to you. It does not mean that you agree with her / him, but it demonstrates your respect for their viewpoints.
Respect Yourself
If you don’t respect yourself, why should the other people treat your with respect? Make sure to care about how you look through being hygienic in order to send the positive message to your peers about your self-worth. Plus, always stand your ground. Express your true feelings even when they are different from the viewpoints of the others, show sense of confidence in yourself! Of course, this is not an easy task, but the individual with the courage to stand up for his / her beliefs and take independent decision is often treated with respect.

But remember that gossiping is a taboo!
