Find out how kindred like you make it happen in a small town on IFC's new series Out There, Fridays at 10/9c. Catch a full episode here.

High school can feel tough.

You have to wake up every day to the same people, making the same moves.

It can be overwhelming.

People can be aggressive for no reason.

You might feel pressured to do some things you don't truly agree with.

It gets difficult to maintain a positive attitude.

But you must remain pumped!

Be accepting of helping hands!

Learning drives the experience, forcing you to fake it 'til you make it.

If you're clueless, you have to let someone know!

Focusing is half the battle.

You can't let your classmates get the best of you.

Believe in your voice!

Homework... siblings... parents...

... may keep you from doing everything your heart desires.

But high school is an important playground for the mind!

You could venture into territory that you truly love.

Encouragement is abound, even when you least expect it.

If you're ever having doubts, you can always confide in a friend.

The person that's always there for you, even in "compromising" situations.

You might even find solace from a caped crusader in your midst.

And if someone you like starts getting weird...

Simply ask yourself...

So...

When it's all said and done, it's the lessons you take with you.

Because by the end, at least you will have learned... something?

You'll make memories and accomplish things that are just...

Like, shockingly amazing.

Until then, get some rest, and live to fight another day.

Follow Chris and Chad through the hallowed halls of Holford High on "Out There" - Fridays at 10/9c on IFC.
