ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Freaked about going to junior high


 
I’m going into sixth grade next year—at the local junior high school! I am a nervous wreck. How can I get ready for next year and stay calm?

 

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!

I felt the same way about going to middle school I'm in 6th grade now and the best thing to do is when you get your schedule put a map of your school in a page protector or laminate it then use a dry erase marker and trace your schedule. And even if your school doesn't have lockers (mine doesn't) you will still need a lock for band and gym so get your lock early and practice through out the summer. It helps a lot! If you have siblings try to see who can crack the lock the fastest Smile

I remember when i was going into middle school.... Just be yourself!! Practice saying your classes over and over again in your head. Stay on top of your homework and you will do fine! I promise!

I Just went into eigth grade, but i still remember how it felt to go into junior high (6th grade at my school). At first i thought it was so scary but its actually way better than elementry school! Although, alot of people change so much. i have lost a couple of friends because they changed and now we dont even talk because she is one of the "popular" kids now. but i still have my BFFs. Smile

i go to a catholic/private scchool and every one knows snce the day u walk into kindergarten, btu were merging with to other schools know! i dont even know a quater of the kids know and i heard that alot of kids at wc r mean, what should i do?




Hey girl,

Don't sweat it! You've heard they're mean, but you don't know for sure. So there's no reason to be nervous or put up your guard. Instead, go into your new "merged" school with a smile. Be nice and confident in convos with everyone. Don't be afraid to sit at a new lunch table, or to lean over and introduce yourself to your neighbor in class. Especially your first week, everyone will be expecting this! So take advantage of it and get to know as many of your new classmates as possible Smile

So im going into middle school and my friend and i both made the challenge bloc. Im freaking out because most of the kids in there have been in challenge since elementary school. Plus its 7th and 8th grade. I dont know if ill be able to do all the homework and work too even though it is in my best subjects. Im just super scared.n




Hey girl,

Congrats! Don't be scared, but do be ready to do some work. With your bestie by your side, you two can have study seshes whenever you want, and she can help explain tricky concepts.

So I'm going into a new eighth grade next year and I'm nervous! I came from a really small alternative montessori school where there were like ten seventh grade girls. I'm going to a huge public school this year and I'm FREAKED! is there anything i can do to:
Remember my locker #?
Make friends fast?
get from class to class fast?




Hey girlie, keep your locker information inside something like your planner that you'll always carry around with you. Be super outgoing and talk to everyone! It'll be easy to make friends that way. To get to class quickly use a map of the school to find the quickest way to go and make sure that you're ready to leave class when the bell rings so you don't waste time packing up.

I found out what my middle school math class is and I'm really disappointed. All my friends got into a really high math class and I'm two math classes lower. I feel really stupid and all my friends say I'm not. My mom says she is really proud of me, but I'm not proud of me! How can I cope with this disappointment?
Math Failure




Hey girl,

You definitely shouldn't be disappointed in yourself at all. We're all better at different things. For example, I'm better at English than my best friend is, and she's better at science. That's just the way things work. But there's always room to improve, so you can work really hard this year and next year you might be placed in a higher class. x0x0

I go back to school September 6 and it is my second year in middle school.The first day can be a little stressful but you can do it.Usually the first day people don'y know where they are going but if your school opens a few weeks before school starts walk around to your different classrooms to get a feel for the school.Hope thie helps.Good Luck!!!!

mod-
Today I went to visit the middle school that I'm going to be attending. I wanna carry a tote bag with me, but a lot of them I've seen in stores are huge and they wouldn't fit in my locker.....
I was just wondering if you knew of any places that they sell affordable tote bags? I'm going into sixth and the lockers are pretty average.........
Thanks! Smile




Hey girl, you actually carry your tote around with you in middle school: you keep your books in there for classes. The locker serves as a place to keep the books you aren't using: for example, if you have French and English in the mornings, you'll carry those books in your tote. Then in the afternoon, after lunch, you'll switch those books out for your afternoon classes' books.

MOD I just joined yearbook. What do u do in yearbook. I know what I'm saying is rude. But I'm scared to be with weird people. I'm not sure why. All my life I've been nerdy but not not nerdy. I really want to make more friends in high school. This will be my freshman year and we are separated from the upperclassman in different buildings. I need more ways to be more social. Please help!  thank you

 

 

Hey babe. I don't know what it is like at your school, but the gals in year book at my old highschool were kind of popular. It depends on the school. Yearbook is a great way to get to know people in all grades. What you will be doing probably consists of writing descriptions, taking pictures, figuring out how to lay out pics and text, etc. Get involved with things that interest you is a great way to get more social! Reps getting ruined by joining 'geeky' clubs is way over exagerated!

Hey chica!  I'm not sure what you mean - what do I think about what?  As for study tips, try to limit distractions, find a place that you like to study, and keep all your assignments/test/project due dates in a calendar or schedule.  You can find more study tips here:  http://www.girlslife.com/category/study-tips.aspx xoxo

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.

by NewBoyzfan4ever on 7/20/2011 10:10:01 PM

 
 

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.

I don't mean to discourage you, but just so you're perpared going in, 6th grade was the worst year of my life. I was bullied with two guy friends at my side(and so were they), cyberbullied,and the best advice I can give you is to NOT go to a snobby private school and DO hang out with funny, unpopular guys. Not girls. Guys.

I'm going to be a freshman this year, and I'm REALLY scared of high school! It's especially bad since I'm entering our school's TV Production class, which is NOT OPEN FOR 9TH GRADERS!!! I only got in because I'm really good with video making. I'm afraid that the rest of the class will be mean to me and stuff. I'm also afraid that I won't be able to keep up with the rest of the students who have had way more experience than me and I'm not so good at thinking of ideas for videos. How can I feel better about this AND be able to get really good ideas for films?




Hey girl, trust me when I say your peers in that class won't even know you're a freshman if you don't say it. Just be yourself and focus on your work. No one is going to be mean to you or make fun of you if you're nice and friendly to everyone!

Believe me chicas, junior high is a breeze you will absolutely adore the more freedom, cute guys, and easy classes! For me 6th grade was great I would go back anytime!!!! Instead I'm going into high school but that's okay! the only thing is locker space for my school was a tight squeeze but you will learn methods on that situation later! If you have a small cube locker, whatever you do, do NOT push your binder or book into your locker when it's full! What I mean is don't put it in front of all your books standing straight up. take it from a true camper they have to get a janitor to pry it out! lolSmile Good Luck junior high freshies! lol

I felt nervous, like I was going to get lost, but it turned out to be super easy, and I never got as much homework as I thought. Most of 6th grade is a review of 5th, but you do learn some new things. Don't worry, maybe you'll get into sports like cross-country or cheer. I had a blast. My two favorite things were the dances and band!

by Januaryfairy on 7/2/2011 9:22:55 AM

 
 

I felt the same way at the beginning of the summer before sixth grade- then the day before I started, I totally forgot about it! Then the morning of, I was just super excited. The only real thing to get used to is class schedules (they're super easy after a few days), and having more teachers. And of course, the locker, but we all had cubbies in first grade, didn't we? These are just way more private. You'll be fine. :-D Good luck!

Does it sound like they're playing? My cousin said don't write back they need to grow up




Hey babe! I get why you're confused. I would take your cousin's advice and not answer. If that guy actually does want to go out with you then he should buck up the courage and ask and your exBF can stay out of it, he sounds like a total loser. I can't tell if your exBF was just kidding around, but it's better not to think too much about it, like you said, you don't have time to concern yourself with their petty little tricks.

I'm going into 8th grade next year, and I was also super nervous, excited, and anxious for middle school. Honestly, it isn't that hard. I only got lost once the first day, and other than that it was smooth sailing. Don't be shy, cliques form pretty fast and if there's one regret I had, it was not befriending people right away before the preps found the preps and the jocks found the jocks and the nerds found the nerds; by making friends regardless of social status, appearance, and/or rumors, make friends by socializing Smile

My problem is that I want to preform again,I mean like now and I dont even know when the next recital is.All I know is that it is over 15 weeks away!!! Howcan i get less anxious? thanks!




Hey girl, it gets easier each time you're on stage, but having that attitude — that you're ready for the next chance — is a great start. Talk to your teacher about what you can do and what opportunities there may be to perform on stage in the interim. She'll admire your desire to tackle your stage fright and improve.

Well I'm going into 7th grade which is my 2nd year of middle school. But last summer I felt the exact same way you did. But if you figure out who your teachers are and where all of your classes are then that'll calm you down a bit. Also just try and branch ou to people and talk to 'em. Also, in 6th grade I was good enough to make the volleyball team and I met SO MANY NEW FRIENDS!! You should really try to join a sports team or club or somethin. Good Luck you'll do fine Smile

I just got out of 6th grade and i remeber feeling that way. Just remember your not the only one going to a new school. The teachers will help you if you need directions or extra locker help or anything. If you are like me or how i was lockers wont be a problem they are very simple. ALso if you just need suport come to GL and ask me any questions (that is to anyone). Also counclers at your school can help you with any IN school issues or concerns. Just relax and know you will do great. Good luck! <3 You will be fine Smile

Middle school isn't so bad. Honestly, if you don't cause trouble, you won't end up in trouble. I don't mean with teachers, but with friends and older kids and other things like that. One word of advice, though: don't act like you're too cool for everyone, older kids included. Most of the older kids are nice and will actually talk to you, but if you act like you're the center of the whole universe, they find you annoying.

Ok I going to junior high next year and I am really worried. I just started getting visted by Aunt flow and we HAVE to swim. Youu can't wear pads in water and tampons scare me. I used a tampon once and it made me sick. I hate the fact you have to "insert" them in you. My mom said she would contact the nurse and swim teacher when school starts up but what happends if they say I can't skip it during my period???? PLease Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Hey girlie, don't worry about what might happen until you find out. It's totally possible that they'll excuse you during your period, and if they don't then you can figure out what to do.

Im going to middle school and i feel like its the perfect time to enhance my looks with makeup...but how do i ask my mom? ((i just wanna wear eyeliner..like peach white brown eyeliners)) pls help Smile




Hey girl,

Tell her that you feel like you're mature enough to wear it now and don't want to do anything drastic, just use it so it looks natural and so it enhances your features.  Also, if you tell her that you want her to come makeup shopping with you, it'll make her feel like she has more control, so she'll be more likely to let you use it. Good luck! x0x0

im also going to 6th grade. im not scared at all, in fact, im very excited! but im afraid the older kids will bully and tease all of my friends and i. WHAT DO I DO!?




Hey girl!

There's no reason why anybody should bully you and your friends, but if you notice that there are some unfriendly kids in the older grades, just try to avoid them. Also, if you are nice to everyone and always have a smile on your face, nobody will even have any reason to be mean to you! x0x0

this is really awkward..but i need your help..
im going to be 14 in a couple months and i recently started shaving "down there" now it feels weirdd... idk what im really asking.. but idk what to do.. i feel really uncomfortable sometimes...
please help me




 Hey girl,

If it doesn't feel comfortable, you should probably stop doing it. Waxing is another option, or you could just quit the hair removal altogether. Some girls don't like how it makes them feel, and you shouldn't feel any pressure to do it. x0x0

whats the difference between middle school and junior high... (i go to middle school)




Hey girl,

In some areas, they include different grades (like middle school might be 6th-8th grade, or junior high might be 7th-9th grade). It all just depends on your area. x0x0

I'm going into 7th grade, and I am really scared about that! In my county, sixth grade is a part of elementary school. Trust me, if you are going into sixth grade, it isn't very hard at all! You'll be fine!

This is the perfect time to advertise my club! If you are going into 6th grade this year, join the Girls Only 6th Grade Adventure Club! We talk about summer, school, and tips for the first day. It's a super fun clu, and I can't wait for you to join!

i'm going to 7th grade, so i know how you feel. but it's not that bad. if you're used to moving from class to p.e. or something like that, you'll get used to moving from math, to science, and so on. probably by the first quarter, you'll get over it. good luck!

Why do some schools do that? My elementary school went k-6 and now im in middle school and its just 7-8. Its weird how schools go k-5 and then 6-8. But its not scary. Some girls might get meaner, you might lose some friends but you'll gain more friends. Its hard but every1 gets through it. Casey L.

Our school USED to be a middle school! But, they're turning it to a Junior High! Hmmm!~JellybeanxD

I'm going into 8th grade now, and last year I went into our High School. I was so nervous! But when I got there I was like " I was scared for this?" And now i can't wait for school this year!

middle school isn't as bad as it seems. don't worry, you'll be fine Smile just make some real friends, you'll need them for all the middle school drama. don't go up and talk to the eighth graders unless you know them and work hard in your classes!
i survived middle school, i'm going to be a freshman next year Smile

good luckk

ok i am 10 years old i think i might start my period soon. here are sonme facts;
I started wearing a bra at age 8
ive had armpit and pubic hair for 2 months
ive been having alot of stomach pains and gas lately
i had my first bearkout a week ago
thx!




Hey babe! There is no schedule of when you'll get your period. It sounds like you're developing pretty early though. Talk to your mom or doctor about it, they can help too, but it sounds to me like you have all the warning signs. xoxo

I'm sad next year my BF is going into highschool and I'm going to be in 8th grade. (7 months apart). What can I do to still try to see him when we won't be together?!




Hey babe! That's always tough, but just try to see him after school and on the weekends. Talk to him after school too. That's really all you can do. Good luck and stay strong! xoxo

Well, I went to Middle School last year. I'm going into 7th grade this year.
Trust me, it's SO not bad like in books or movies. Not a lot of mean kids and the homework is TOTES bearable. I was almost upset that it was boring compared to the book and movie schools LOL!

I was super freaked about JH too, but now I'm in 8th grade and have loved it!! Your gonna like it alot(: It isn't too scary and it's really just an experience that everyone has to go through. Now I'm just nervous for high school!! Tong

I felt the same way when I went into sixth grade. But, once I got there, I was totally fine. I am 14, and now I think I was so cute worrying about that!! I am sure you will too. =) good luck!

by Ej410 on 6/30/2011 10:01:13 AM

 
 

Ok well I just got outta 6th grade and I felt the same wayu you did last summer. But if you go to the school before the year starts and get your schedules and find out who your teachers are and where your classes are then that'll calm you down some. Also I tried out for the volleyball team and made it and loved it and I made a bunch of new friends. So try out for a sports team or club or something. And talk to people just say hi and smile. AND JUST CALM DOWN! Good luck you'll do fine in middle school Smile

I'm going into junior high, but I am not scared at all because in the end of the school year the guidance counselor took us to all of the separate teachers in the junior high and they talked to us about junior high. That totally made me wayyyyy more confident then I was before!

although u may think high school is really hard. dont phsyc yourself out Smile its really fun! i just graduated middle/junior high and there arent bullys that want your lunch money or cliques that will spill paint on your white jeans. sure there are the cheerleaders and the jocks but they're not bad Smile It's really fun! It only takes u a few days to learn your classes so its not that bad. teachers very but its not that jurastic of a change. You'll love it. you'll feel small at first but then u see the 5th graders that u once were and you can call yourself a middle schooler Smile
