What are the "rules" of society?

Hi, I'm a high school student slowly discovering my place in the world, and how human beings behave.

I have found some common patterns (such as gossiping, spreading of "stories" about people, -etc.) and am wondering, what exactly should one know to "properly" function in society? For example, I've noticed that if you are sensitive to rumors, or choose not to gossip, or wear the right clothes, you are considered "retarded". So, what should one "naturally" (ha!) know? With answers, please be specific with what applies to each gender as well.

    As you grow & go on from grade you'll understand . You can try your best to avoid drama mess but you will get it someday . people can be fake they make up lies start rumors so they can move up the popularity . If your not pretty your not accepted & thats the saddest thing ever . if your body your face does not look a certain way people way judge you . even the most prettiest people the fakest people can come and tell them their ugly or point out their perfections so they can feel better cause they were hurt before . Honestly stay the way you are . i know everyone wants to be popular but trust me once you get there you there its just like hanging with a bunch of fakes . be happy with what you got .
