okay. so for christmas this year i wanted to make a high school survival book for my 13(i think hes that age?) year old cousin. only problem is, im a girl, and i want it to be filled with things which are most socially beneficial to a guy. and i know i don't really think the same way a guy does.
any guys have some good suggestions? any funny or good stories to go along with the tips?

never pick up the soap when it drops in the showers
If someone comes up to you and asks you if you want some blow, they're not talking about a blow jawb
Make the most out of school.
Do everything you can. Join clubs, join sports
Go to parties... and sometimes it's okay to just say yes. Just don't do anything you don't know what it is unless you first research it (go to erowid.org first)
Yeah it would've been really great to have a surviving high school book before I started high school. I think I would've had much more fun at parties and would've just generally had more fun.

First suggestion: don't listen to "euphoric". No offense, but you're an idiot.
I mean, High School should be fun but you also need to focus on making good grades and having some unique experiences that are going to prepare you for the real world and--uhhhh duhh!--maybe some higher education. Sure, tons of people make it without going to college, but having a degree sets you so far ahead of the crowd. You just have to try to make good grades in high school.
So there's the academic part. The social part is sort of a fuster cluck, if you catch my drift, because there are so many variables and influences on the kid. The best thing to remember is to be yourself, but be accepting of people who are different, at least in public. Stay away from losers who do drugs and drink irresponsibly. As for girls, try not to "do it" until you are in a position where you can support a child (i.e. waaaay after high school), but if you must, wear a condom for the love of God and wear it everytime. In the end, the super sweet and cute, great girls are gonna go with the guys who have integrity and smarts.
