Dear Scared of Junior High,
A lot of girls feel nervous about a new school year, whether they are going into junior high, high school or fifth grade. Ask your sixth-grade friends if they are feeling jittery (I’m sure some are). And ask any older friends how they made the jump to junior high.
Also, try to visualize success. In other words, instead of picturing mean kids and tough homework assignments, think about how much fun it will be to see your friends all day and how much you like English, art, Spanish or your other favorite courses. Think about any after-school activities that appeal to you. Don’t go overboard—you don’t want to be busy every day. It’s important to have free time for relaxation and homework. But do sign up for a sport or chorus or chess or something because it’s a great way to build new skills and friendships.
As for schoolwork, get the new year off to a flying start by practicing good study habits. This just may be your best year yet!

Don't be afraid. If your going to a junior high that none of your friends are going to I'd be scared too. If your going to junior high with all your buds then consider yourself lucky because you won't have to deal with a brand new school that's completely different from elementary.

Don't be scared about junior high. I just graduated 8th grade and i was completely fine. Plus 8th and 7th graders arent as bad as you think. We mostly just use the phrase "8th grade privilege." 6th grade was regrettably also one of the worst years of my life. A word of advice find your true friends and not the friends that make fun of you behind you back and then pretend to be your bff when your around. But look for the friend(s) that will always be there for you and most importantly accepts you for who you are and loves every bit of you just the way you are. Also try to stay away from facebook/twitter/etc. because it can and will start A LOT of fights in any school. -Nymphadora

Don't worry about junior high. I passed 6th and 7th grade flying colors and I intend on 8th grade to be the same way. it's not as bad as people say it is. Just..... relax....
