4 Tips to Survive Middle School in 2007
- Think about and prioritize your homework.
If your kid isn't surviving middle school and it's homework that's causing that, then perhaps it's time to sit down and come up with a plan on how to make homework a number one priority. Once you sit down and you think about and prioritize homework assignments you will be able to manage time better and reach all of your academic goals.
- Don't cram at the last minute.
This can be a huge cause for stress in a middle school child's life. If there is a test coming up tomorrow and he/she hasn't' studied, it's a very bad thing for them and they feel as if they will not be able to make it past tomorrow. You want to help your kids by letting them know that they should begin studying a couple of weeks or days before they actually have the test so that they can be well prepared and stress free the night before.
- Find really awesome friends.
Surviving middle school can be done without having friends, but it shouldn't be! If you're a newbie to your school then try to make friends that are real, have things in common with you, and whom you can truly be yourself with. If you're already acclimated with friends, then make sure they're awesome friends. Having cool friends will make going to school a much better experience and you will not feel so stressed about things because you'll be with people dealing with the same things you are dealing with.
- Get involved in an extracurricular activity.
This is very important! Getting involved in a sporting activity, a club, or any organization on campus can do great things for those who are wondering how they can better survive middle school. The more involved you get, the higher your goals will be and the more you'll have fun and try your best at everything you do. By joining an extracurricular activity you are ensuring that you will never be alone and you'll always have something healthy and safe to do.

Oh, and also........ get to know your teachers and if you think someone might be a good friend, well then go and talk to them! Chances are, they'll like you as well. Choose wisely, though. Don't get involved in anything that might get you into trouble in the long run. It can really mess up Middle School if you get involved with something that can be bad for you. And one last thing: Make sure that you always get your work done and never slack off and wait until the last minute. If you have a project that you know is due soon, get it done and THEN get your free time in. Its never going to help you if your grades are down. It will only make things worse. Much worse.
Hey, I'm a 7th Grader....and the most important thing to do is stay confident and walk your school's hallways with pride. Get to know your school and make sure that you never turn down an opportunity to make a new friend and to get involved with clubs and sports. Join a club, talk to people and get to know everyone you can!
Peace im out
ashley, just remember that you need to be good to the teachers cause they will remember you
inking, "Well, duh." but if you think about it, it really is true. For example, think about one time when you were at the mall and saw the Most Hideous pair of shoes in the Whole Entire World, and suddenly you heard someone next to you gasp and start talking about wow beautiful they thought the shoes were. That's just like people, so what if that guy doesnt like you, obviously he just likes different qualities in a girl, his best friend might think youre The Most awesomest girl on the planet. Same with friends, so what if "that" girl doesnt want you to be her friend she obviously just likes different things, like maybe she prefers someone who enjoys music or someone who would rather play sports than anything else. Besides, you most likely would end up not liking the person that much either.

3.If youre afraid of getting lost just study a map and if you Do get lost, simply go up to someone who looks atleast semiapproachable and ask for directions, chances are theyll admire you for your confidence.
4.Remember to LOOK CONFIDENT!! that is one of the best things to do, Especially when youre feeling the Total Opposite because many people will admire you for it and want to be your friend, so just keep your back straight (it can also make you look thinner;P) and hold your chin up and walk through those middle school doors as if you know Exactly what youre doing and dont forget to smile;) (okay, dont smile the whole time like some freak, just remember not to look like some grumpy ol' donkey, who wants to be friends with a person like that?).
4.Last but Definitely not least I will tell you the one piece of advice that practically saved my life (okay, not literally but anyway..), My aunt (who's a therapist) told me before that, "Everyone has a different opinion." youre probably thi
I'm just going to grade 8 and there's a couple pieces advice that I can give you to survive...
1. Remember that Everyone who is starting middle school is nervous too (even if they say they arent), so You Are NOT Alone!
2.One of the reasons that I was really nervous was because I kinda felt like an outcast, I only had One Real friend and I felt as if people would think of me as a loner. Turns out, I decided to just smile at nearly everyone I saw and just act as if you are the most friendly, un-shy person in the world (even if you arent) and just be bold and straightforward. You want to ask that awesome girl to go shopping with you, just do it, dont even think. If this doesnt help, just remember that everyone is human and also remember number four (at the bottom of this list) it will hopefull help a lot. Also try to think of about 3 things to talk about that you could say to anybody (and that require an answer of more than yes or no) so that youll never be left in an awkward convo.
im starting middle school tommorow im really nervous
I'm becoming a 7th grader in just 3 days!!! And I will tell you there was a lot of drama this year. As I say, you don't know your true friends until middle school. I almost lost my best friend to the evil clique groups. One, stay AWAY from them and do not talk badly about others. And, if you become friends with somebody and they slowly start turning your back on you, nip it in the bud! Confront her to see whats the problem. Also if it a teacher doesn't like you and they start harassing you, try sitting next to someone they like, look like your not up to no good and most importantly, take notes and do the work properly! Also a big important thing about middle school is organization. I'm depicted as the top student of my grade. Even though my friends and ex-friends are about my level, I did much better than them last year. Not because so much of intelligence, but ORGANIZATION!!! I could be very disorganized at times, but I am much more organized than my friends. I wrote down note neatly,
