all that stuff sounds good... depends on what ure going for though. its usually in middle school where ranking starts. my advice is just to be nice to everyone and work hard. clubs/sports are good, and just have fun. its highschool where u have to really worry about grades and junk. HAVE FUN IN UR DAYS OF FREEDOM!

what kind of tips are you looking for anyways? well middle school is a good/weird place but its great to meet people who might/not become friends with & you get to see some of your usual old friends from you school. just be prepared to have a little more load of homework and maintain your gardes. thats for sure* and just have fun too, b/c i truly miss my m.s. days and live it up :)

Middle school isn't as bad as it's made out to be. Once you make some friends, it should be easy. Try to refrain from doing things you know you will regret in the future. Oh and just say no.

This is simply halirious. Why are you worrying?
Fine...*sigh* Here are some tips I learned FIRST HAND:
(1) Don't start a food fight.
(2) Don't get any Mexicans to "beat you up after school".
(3) Don't play on the computer at school for too long. Or, don't let them catch you trying to hack in or stare at porn.
(4) REVELOUTION AGAINST THE PREPS~! BURN DOWN THEIR LOCKERS~!
And yes, I have tried/done all of these. ;)

middle school is the point of change, where you meet many people who can influence you. i`m not saying they will influence you, but can influence you, so try to keep it real, ya know? haha!

I go to middle school and the first day was quite fun. We are in a uniformed public school, so the clothes aren't special and they are ugly. Just be yourself and dont care about those people who would be really mean to you or use you.
Im only 12, but 6th grade was a year to not remember because off all the mistakes i've done.

just do not procrastinate, (i learned that the hard way) try to get all your work in on time, be organized, and make sure you get good teacher ;] cuz that always helps.
oh yea does anyone have any tips for high school?

Try to find the right groups of friends, becasue they will greatly impact you. Try to be friendly and outgoing no matter how shy you are (I did that in high school and made a lot more friends than I did in middle school). Also just be calm and don't act all jumpy and stuff. Just be normal, you will be fine =]
For frenchaddict88- High school is fairly different. A lot more work and a lot more peer pressure, rumors and horrible things like that that you see in the movies (i.e. Mean Girls, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, etc.). It isn't exactly that dramatic, but you do have to make the right friends, and avoid those who backstab and spread rumors (found that out the hard way). Yea and procrastination is very bad, because in my high school we have a huge amount of work. We nice to your teachers and try not to make enemies. Goodluck =]

Sixth Grade is easy peesy. And so is fifth grade. DONT worry about either. Just make sure to make a study time each week so that you can review all the stuff you did that week and be prepared for your tests. And when it comes to exams, just study your major tests that will have material thats on your exams. Otherwise DO NOT worry. Oh and DO YOUR HOMEWORK. I'm going into seventh grade, but my school is k4-12th grade so I'm not nervous. ANd I don't think anyone should be nervous about middle school. Especially when most colleges don't even care about your middle school work. (Although some colleges do look at your grades in 7th and 8th grade.)

Oh dear, dont worry about it.
I have been moving around ever since i was two. and when i was in 6th grade, i was one of the " new students " but trust me, back then i think it was much easier to meet friends. i mean next year i am going to a new high school and i am gonna be a sophmore, everyones gonna have their own friends , i believe it'll be a bit harder to meet friends. but it's okay, its always a new start, right? and just join clubs and meet friends!

Don't worry about it, middle school is easy! I came into 6th grade during the end of the year && I'm going into 8th grade right now. Middle school is a breeze.

Don't worry about the whole locker thing as well, I sucked at it, I had to have other people open it for me && I kept forgetting my combo...Have a good friend memorize if for your if you need help. Usually students are given orientations and a tour around the school before they are to attend the school, right?
You'll get used to it in a few days or so. Join lots of clubs && extra curricular activities while you get the chance, they're loads of fun && you meet new people. In the end, middle school is just elementary, just a few more faces you'll see around the halls. By the end of the year you may just be eager to get into high school already.

memorize your locker combination the first day. it's a disaster if you don't or can't. and try to come up with a lunch cafeteria group soon. find your old friends, but try making new ones too. and try to make a good first impression on the teachers. it isn't that bad really though, the first day

Middle school is really fun! Our middle school has just two grades - 7th and 8th - and then 9th-12th are considered high school. I'm going into 8th.
Oh, and if I were you, I would wear pretty comfortable clothes on the first day. Don't wear something too tight or too loose. You're most likely gonna be lost and nervous and stressed out enough, so you don't wanna be concerned about wardrobe malfunctions.
There are going to be tons of other kids your age wandering around, just as lost as you are. Surely, one of them will know how to open a locker, even if you can't figure it out. If you can't get it open, ask for help! :-)
And I'm sure if you're just starting middle school, you're teachers will be pretty leniant with tardiness. When I started in 7th grade, teachers couldn't penalize you for being late to class for the first two weeks! I never got a tardy in that entire year!
It'll be a lot of fun, I'm sure. Just be yourself.

okai first of all if no one said this alreadii.. "use the edit button next time instead of double posting"
but yes.. Just lyk the majority of what the ppl have said.. "Just be ur self.. and niice" cuz if you're lyk that there is someone bond to come up to you and say.. "hi" just start saying hi to random ppl.. Or just smile.. lo0k happy.. Try to NOT to act new.
There's really no MAJOR mistakes you can make.. Cuz ur only going to the wat 6th grade? it's kinda lyk elementary.. but just with more kids..
Hope this helps..

just be yourself. try to make as MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE. be outgoing, but not too outgoing 'cause ppl might not like u for that o.o do your every homework assignment and the teachers will like u and your parents ^.^ be really really nice 'cause guys don't like mean girls =]
basically:
-be yourself
-make friends
-do every homework
-don't break the rules
- [B][I][U] DO NOT WEAR RED AND BLUE[or ne gang related colors]

Okay, let's see what I can do.
1 - Do your homework. Study. Please. Try your best in school. If you don't it will really screw you up later. I don't care if it's only middle school. It still counts, especially when you're picking classes to go to high school.
2 - With procrastination, sure, do a little of it, we all get lazy, but I don't advise it. Especially on huge projects, just get it over with! I'm sure your parents won't be too happy if you have to send them to the store for supplies the night before it's due.
3 - Join clubs, make friends, all that jazz. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT GETTTING POPULAR! With my friends, the popular people actually have a bad reputation, not a good one. And don't be afraid to join something like chorus or band if you really want to. It's about what you think, not others. Your true friends should accept you for that.
4 - Do not be surprised if you drift away from your old friends. This is normal. Don't be afraid to make new friends. Keep in touch with old ones, if you can, unless they are going to have a bad influence on you.
5 - Don't let crushes take over your life. Seriously. It will annoy the crap out of your friends, plus you have better things to worry about. Relationships in middle school are NOT recommended. You have enough stress on your shoulders.
6 - Keep secrets, unless it's something to do with eating disorders, suicide, serious stuff like that. I mean the little secrets, such as who likes who. And make sure if you do tell your secrets to your friends that they are trustworthy - if you don't want a whole bunch of people knowing. If it slips to the wrong people they will most likely: A) Blackmail you. B) Tell the whole grade/school.
7 - I think one of the synonyms for adolescence is "drama". Expect drama. It's nothing out of the ordinary. Please don't say, "Oh, my life sucks!!!!!!" when drama happens to you because there are a lot of kids with AIDS starving in Africa... *rants about that for a little while*
8 - Become friendly with your teachers, but don't become a teacher's pet (bad reputation on all sides). It makes school seem less like a prison, plus you might find that some of the teachers are pretty cool.
9 - I know you'll hear this a lot, but don't be a bully, tell someone if you're bullied, and tell someone if you see another kid getting bullied. Physical scars are bad, and scars made by words can be worse.
10 - Just have fun in middle school. You'll make so many friends, have so many inside jokes, and be prepared to face high school!
Well, that seems like a nice 10 tips for ya. Good luck!
