[xosteffanator]

EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK. I feel so ADD help me- I need tips 4 middle school
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Please?

[*suddenly she*]

be organized.

any questions or certain things you want to know?

[ghjgfkgfk]

middle school is very awesome. it's not that different. there will a lot more people so be sure to open up and make friends.

[SMiLEEFORMEE]

take the opportunity to make new friends esp. if theyre guna be with you in high school

[xosteffanator]

It just I just moved here and I have no friends so I'm pretty worried

[xosteffanator]

Like on the first day what if I'm late or I can't find my locker ya kno get lost

[ghjgfkgfk]

just be nice. and look happy and look approachable. and dont wear like, spandex or whatever.

edit// omg. it's the first day. who cares if you're late

[xosteffanator]

Uhhhhh like what's spandex???

[technicolour]

tight gripping stretchy clothes.

Be cool and yourself.

[ghjgfkgfk]

that is spandex. dont wear it.

[xosteffanator]

I wouldn't be caught DEAD wearing a spandex

[yummy_delight]

There's really nothing to nervous about. You'll be fine, I'm sure of it. Just remember to be nice and be yourself. As long as you do that, you're all set.

[xosteffanator]

but like should I wear a skirt the 1st day or pants or shorts or kapris<<--How do you spell that?( I kno I sound retarted but I'm just so nervous)

[jennyjenny]

I remember 6th grade...
I made some of the worst mistakes ever.

Just remember to join clubs and participate. And meet new people. It can be scary moving into a new town but it's also good cause you get to start over. Just don't be creepy. I'm sure that there are going to be a lot of teachers to guide you and stuff so I don't think you should worry about your locker and getting lost and stuff. I'm going into high school next year so I'm quite scared too. But then again, everyone going into a new school is probably nervous.

[ghjgfkgfk]

hmm. on the first day of 6th grade i wore a polo and jeans. i dont think it matters what you wear because it's not like anyone will remember. but i guess you want to make a good impression. on the first day of 8th grade im going to wear a track jacket and a skirt, i think.

oh oh. and dont join any loser clubs like the "fun fitness club" or chess

[xosteffanator]

Yea I don't even kno how to play chess and if I did I wouldn't join and I mean "fun fitness club" c'mon it even has a dorky name so it must be a dorky club.

[ghjgfkgfk]

maybe just try thinking of the effects before you say/do something.

[xosteffanator]

maybe just try thinking of the effects before you say/do something.

okay I guess that makes sense

[xosteffanator]

what are clubs I should join which ones are popular but fun -if you know

[ghjgfkgfk]

umm, at my school, it's drama and pep club

[xosteffanator]

whats a pep club

[ghjgfkgfk]

in pep club you paint banners for like pep rallies.
ski club is pretty popular too at my school

[xosteffanator]

I kno I sound stupid but......I wanna kno...

[xosteffanator]

in pep club you paint banners for like pep rallies.
ski club is pretty popular too at my school

Oh in that case I think drama might be my choice

[xosteffanator]

thx you guyz I feel a bit better now

[shortiiex]

well everone has different middle schools
freshman year sucked...senior year rocks!
Middle School had cliques too so just go find some good friends...
don't carry a lot of stuff
and STUDY

[xosteffanator]

but like are the popular people like mean and stuff the first day?

[xosteffanator]

Should I try to join the popular crowd?

[ghjgfkgfk]

the popular people are just as nevrous as everyone else. they're not "mean"
you should join whatever crowd that makes you feel comfortable in. but it might take a while until you realize who your true friends are

[xosteffanator]

k every1 thx 4 the help but I g2g now

[xosteffanator]

but if u guyz could keep replying that'd be great

[CrazayChristian]

1. Don't listen to guys, they are horny bastards that will use you.(You'll get pressured some how or another)

2. Do your homework before anything.

3.Don't mess with upper grades, you're asking for trouble

4. For the Love of God woman, do your homework.

There

[iTS PATiLLA xP]

Should I try to join the popular crowd?

Don't worry about it. How would you know if they're popular or not anyways? During my first year of middle school, there really was NO popular crowd because everyone's just starting to meet so the groups were scattered.

[datgurlnanci3]

RELAX.
Be organized. (a little messy doesn't hurt.)
Don't procrastinate. (well...a little procrastinating doesn't hurt much either)
Make friends that you can be yourself around.
And just enjoy yourself.

You still have a ways to go. I do too. We all do.

[..:loveee.NuTTii]

Be organized. Join groups. Be friendly. Don't let anyone push you around. Don't get involved with the wrong crowd. During the first week people will say shit like "Freshman Friday" or "Look out for that can", but they wont do anything. And, of course RELAX.
Don't make such a big deal out of it. After a little while you'll feel comfertable. On the first day, everyone's nervous.

[IamRad]

i was so shy on the first day of middle school. dont be shy. make friedns with everyone, dont get into stupid little fights, keep ur grades up, and ull be fine

[coconutter]

It will be cool, you'll meet alot of new people, and if you want you can have boyfriends, my boyfriend and I hooked up at the end of school for me. It's awesome.

[*danielle_x3*]

yeah, join a lot of clubs to make new friends, and chill out it's not that different from elementary. :D

[I_Are_Marc]

all i can say is, dont worry about it and have fun. Make friends that you know will always be there and until highschool. All my friends i met in 4th and 5th grade and were still friends

[*x____duckii*]

Should I try to join the popular crowd?

LyK3 0mGaWd, yU sHuR3 sHuD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
















No. Unless you want to be with people that won't probably like you for you and want to be known as a screw-up.

Just try making friends with everyone, and then decide which ones you like the most. Again, I repeat, don't be friends with someone that you don't like and that's popular, because think about it this way, would you rather have a friend that could last you for a really long time, or a friend that ditched you for someone else? Exactly. Don't act, ahem, suprieror, like, "Omigod, that girl is such a dork." You won't be liked by that, and just gives people the idea that you're a snob, and therefore, won't want to be friends with you.

Okay, now, just be yourself, meaning, don't act like a fake in order to fit in. If you do this, you're doomed for the rest of middle school, trust me on this one. It'll probably be hard for someone like you to do that at first, but it's worth it.

And on what to wear... just buy whatever you like and wear it on the first day of school. Just don't wear anything skanky or slutty. Of course, nobody wants to see a little girl dressed that way. Just wear whatever's comfortable for you. Who cares if nobody else likes what you're wearing? As long as you like it, it shouldn't matter.

And of course, don't get yourself in a lot of trouble, unless you want to spend a day at the principal's office.

Okay, I'm done. Follow my tips, and you'll do just fine.

[*suddenly she*]

oh. be confident, but don't overdo it.

[xosteffanator]

yea!!!! I feel prepared so lets change the topic!!! Any ideas?

[Bobblehead425]

i absoloutly looove middle school. tiP- keep ur locker clean or you'll lose a lot of stuff. and end up crushing pictures you hung up. that happend to me. and one time it was so jam packed it wouldnt open so i had to get the custodian to do it oh another tip dont be a slut. and another tip, be yourself. and dont spread rumors.

[Paradox of Life]

Ehh, resize your signature; it's too big. And type correctly. Make your 5th grade english teacher proud. I'm going to 7th grade next year, so you're in luck! I've just been there! It sucked for me, but try to make it good because most people say it's their worst grade.

[xosteffanator]

[mz sneaky]

middle school is fun. make new friends and just be yourself. my middle school is easy because i've known my friends for a long time. our school is from kindergarten to 8th grade.

[xosteffanator]

middle school is fun. make new friends and just be yourself. my middle school is easy because i've known my friends for a long time. our school is from kindergarten to 8th grade.

eh! Lucky you are you in like a private school?

[xldubaliciousx]

Ah just treat people the way you want to be treated.. And hopefully they return with the same friendliness.

[raenbow*]

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!

[TYPiKALFEMME]

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 :)

[nopattern]

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.

[xconnieLOOHOOx07]

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. ;)

[BrokenDream]

just make sure you do everything that your surpose to do, and not the opposite.

[ThePrincessofTKD]

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!

[seriouslynikki]

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.

[mz sneaky]

no my school is public. the grades are just together in one school.

[`SWTWiNKLE3YES]

middle school is way better than elementary school, for me! hah, u get lots of new friends and in our middle school teachers are SOOO much better. im kinda sad, this is my last year at junior high next year im gonna b a freshman >.<

[yellowgurl]

just calm down =) things will be fine, just be friendly and smile alot.

[#1distortion]

well basicly in my middle school you have to be friendly and outgoing, but yu have to be tough to and know how to fight or else yu'll get your ass beat... but i am in NY so i dont know what it's like for you there lol so just be friendly lol

[frenchaddict88]

middle school is GREAT. it's sooooooooo much fun. i looooved it. i'm going into 9th grade and i miss it so much!

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?

[Xprezsion]

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 =]

[lalagirl200]

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.)

[aicilah999]

it is fine..

on my first day of middle school, i did fine with my locker and getting to class..

is there a map for u to walk around ur school? cuz there was for my school..

but after the 2nd day, i didnt need to use it anymore..

and the teachers are usually nice during the first week you'll do fine

[baakla]

middle school was soooooooo much fun!

at first it is awkward, but you get used to it very fast.

ps: it goes by VERY fast, so enjoy it while you can. ;]

[inlonelinessidie]

Like on the first day what if I'm late or I can't find my locker ya kno get lost

Don't worry. School is school. Nothing is going to happen to you if you're late. It's not like they'll kill you. Just have fun and relax.

[baakla]

on the first day it really doesnt matter if your late.

[lbjshaq2345]

dont be all preppy and spreading rumors and shit guys HATE that contrary to poular belief

[xlaydee_v]

Make some good friends. I've never been the 'new girl', but all I know is that don't make yourself look snobby. Be yourself, look friendly, and meet the right people.

[shannoniwamoto]

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!

[kill.t3h.r0cK]

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.

[Hell-Rell]

If you plan to go to a good high school do it early. Attend organized events!!!

[angelrevelation]

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

[yellowgurl]

Be friendly and try not to procrastinate =)

[dorkette1]

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.

[osidepinay33]

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..

[baakla]

id be more worried if i were going into high school.
but middle school is easier than you think. DONT STRESS!

[Joss-eh-lime]

EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK. I feel so ADD   help me- I need tips 4 middle school
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Please?

u feel add?

just be friendly ignore the posers and listen to ur teachers.

[sweet_as_pie13]

wow. i remember when i freaked about it.
you know the whole "what if i get stuck in my locker" thing. in most cases it wont happen. unless you want to get stuck in there.
-look nice
-dont start any arguments
-you'll do fine

[misoshiru]

1) don't double post
2) wear what you want to wear, or you can refer to magazine tips.
3) relax. it's just effing middle school. it's not that big of a deal.

[xbby_charmz]

get out there im going to my last year in middle and im still a bit nervus always gots to make the good impression just join clubs and what not

[YoUr HeRo]

don't be afriad to ask questions

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

Im going to miss the middle school very much -_- im going to the high school.

Be perpared.. and dont be late for class!

[angelshortipnai]

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]

[timeflies51]

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!
