All of my middle school life has seemed to be a waste of time.?

Question

I was ok at studies and the guy I liked, hasn't ever even called me even though we exchanged contacts. My parents and I were constantly in arguments, and all of my best friends are leaving for high school. I'm excited as well as nervous. What do I need to do to make sure that I don't make the same mistakes, have the experience of a lifetime, and possibly, if I have luck, find a bf?

Answer 1

learn from your mistake...

Answer 2

Middle School sucked for me too, it was almost a complete waste. High School is better, still eager to finish though. Just forget about middle school, it's behind you, time to start fresh.

I'm not going to lie and say I had a super-great time the first year of High School. There were a lot of adjustments, new people to get used to, new teachers, I made a lot of mistakes, and so on. But I can honestly say i'm in a much,much better place now than I was in middle school, I can tell you that much. People are a lot more mature but still a lot of fun.

Okay, so some advice:

1) I know you've probably heard it a lot before, but don't slack off. I did, and now I'm going to have to work double-hard to make up for it.

2) Please do yourself a huge favor, and stay away from any drama. This is another thing I should have done and didn't, and it caused me a lot of irritation and I lost friends who I might have became closer with. Seriously, you'll be pushed into it all the times, but it's not that hard to stay away from. And when you're done with freshman year with all your friends still behind you, it will be well worth not having been involved with the gossip and the back-stabbing.

3) Take advantage of any clubs your school offers. It's a good way to meet new people. This is yet another thing I regret not doing. Also, if your school offers tutoring in any subject that you find difficult, try it out. It will probably help a lot.

4) BE CONFIDENT. Even if you're not, do your best to appear so without being fake. I know it's hard, but there are always nasty people who prey on insecurity and will push you down. I know it's cliche, but try to believe in yourself as much as possible. Set goals, both acedemicly and socially. Confidence is what will get you good grades, good friends, and a good guy.

So the bottom line is, you'll have more freedom but you need to make sure you don't fall through the cracks. Keep up the balance between friends and school, and it's all good.

It's okay to be nervous, but just remember that everyone else starting High School is/was just as nervous as you. Good luck, you'll be fine.
