Beret Lover

You have to complete the game once to be able to do this achievement.

Note: Everything has to be done during Day 2 if you move on to Day 3 without getting the key from John and opening the classroom and the TV you can't unlock this achievement in that save anymore.

Start a new game and finish Day 1.
After starting Day 2 go to school and talk to Trevor.
Trevor will tell you to talk to Anne.
Anne will tell you to talk to John who will give you the key to Classroom 3.
Unlock the door to Classroom 3 and walk to the TV.
Start the TV and you'll unlock the achievement.

7. Community Outreach

Community Outreach
Talk with the homeless person on Day 3 and Day 4, also remember to be curious of why he became the way he did or else he'll dislike you and won't open up to you.

8. Settled Accounts

Settled Accounts
This one is a bit trickier than the rest, but still fairly easy to unlock.
First start off by accusing Elena of the broken window, when she claims innocence tell her she did it. It seems that the topic called "Elena" is the one that unlocks this achievement. On Day 3 choose 'Apathetic' instead of 'Thankful' choice, after that it should be pretty smooth sailing just stay bitter and be a d*ck to her, and on Day 4 when you talk to her about the "Elena" topic, she will tell you how selfish you are etc. Just choose "Acceptance" and you two are done and the achievement will unlock.

A few users pointed out that you need to be nice to her, try to be as reasonable as possible with her and it should unlock.

9. Credit where Credit's Due

Credit where Credit's Due
Just press ESC to open menu in game and open 'Credits'.

10. Weirdly Patient

Weirdly Patient
Simple, just idle in the main menu and it will unlock after a while.
I'm pretty sure it unlocks after like 15 minutes of idling.

Chapter 1: Late - Apologetic, Journal - Optimistic, Elena - Curious, Window - Straight/Admission/Apologetic (I chose Protective when talking to John about Elena, not sure if that matters at all)
Chapter 2: Elena - Thankful (I chose Maybe when talking to Mum about Elena, not sure if that matters at all)
Chapter 3: Keith - Indignant/Bitter
Chapter 4: Probing - Denial (This might have been Acceptance, this is the one I'm most fuzzy on. The achievmeent unlocked immediately after IIRC so nothing else you talk to her about should matter for the sake of earning it.)

I also talked to Elena about everything I could, including going back to her when new conversations were available (such as Theft.) Hopefully this helps someone!

I recently got the achievement Settled Accounts after trying twice. I was surprised when it worked since I thought some of my answers weren't the most positive I could give her. I figured I'd offer them here in case anyone else is trying to get it. I believe these are what I picked, anyway; if anyone can confirm that these worked, I'd appreciate it.
