Hi, My name is Sarah and I am Leaving elementry school and Getting Ready for Middle school: Any Advice?

I had gone to private school my whole life and this is my first time going to PUBLIC school. I kind of want a new reputation cause at my old school i was the stupid failing fat girl. And I get good grades. Plus Im not fat. I just really want to make some real, better friends!

Answer 1

Let your personality shine through.  Don't try too hard as people will know that are trying too hard and they will not like that one bit.

Just be yourself, do your work, smile at people and don't act snooty or snotty.  You should be fine.  Oh yea, and don't talk about others as they will more than likely find out and not like you because of that.  Talk to all people and never act as if you think you are better than anyone else.

You'll be fine.

Answer 2

Answer 3

well just go with a good attitude. I know school could be hard but don't give up you have college and the rest of your life to look forward to. middle school counts alot.its a different envorment and you have to make new friends.go and be you'r self and you will make freinds in no time. try joing a club or a special events that you'r school offers.

Answer 4

well students at public is kinda meaner than students from private!

if u get 2 public keep your grades up and try not to fail or miss any classes!

and more students are talking really bad words and stuffs that a very innocent girl wouldn't know! (that happened 2 me, my friends told me very nasty things so this yr i think i need 2 find new friends)

and good luck 2 middle school!!!

Answer 5

from middle-schooler to middle-schooler I have changed school 4 times and I'm in the 7th grade(so I went through this last yr.) In my 4th and 5th grade yr. I went to a private school back to public. Don't ever start off any school thinking like that because if you think like people will treat you like that.In my 1st yr. of middle school  made now friends and lost friends so i know. middle school is just like 1st grade you are the baby of the school. A tip for making friends is always be your self;never lie because it always comes back to bite you im the butt and the best and final tip is have fun and LIVE,try new things and have more fun.

Answer 6

hey Sarah im Alyssa!  i was know as the shy girl but truth be told once people got to know me i wasn't shy at all!  People really judge people by their first impression and dont give people a chance.  So i decided to really make an amazing first impression in middle school and it worked really well, i made tons of amazing friends, that like me for me and not what im wearing. although that was a plus.

My reputation went from shy girl to Fashion Diva

I want to be a fashion designer so i made some clothes and really made my outfits different from everyone else's and everyone loved them.  I found friends by sports, i did cheerleading and turns out im really good at it and i made 18 new friends!

Just find something your good at and look for people who enjoy it too...its not going to be as bad as you think just figure out who you want to be and become her but dont change who you are along the way.

Answer 7

Just all you can do is be laid back and modest, but also be optimistic and out going, even if you are new people will still accecpt you and you will find friends in at least a day or 2, most like ly it'll be someone you have in common with. I hope you have good luck in middle school! Im in it right now! :)

Answer 8

It's big change from elementary school to middle school. Let alone you're jumping from private school to public school.

First off, it's going to be a lot bigger. More students are milling around and you'll have class periods now. It's also going to be tough to find friends, because mostly everyone has been together since elementary school. I really have no advice, but just be be yourself, be confident, and try to be outgoing :). You'll probably make good friends that way.

Answer 9

First of all, don't give out your real name online! ^_^

If you want better friends, raise your standards. If the people you're around seem to be bringing you down, be around kids that'll help you out and encourage you to do your best.

Don't just stick to your grade level either. Some of my best friends in school ended up being years younger than me.

Join a club. There you'll meet people that you'll have things in common with. Yearbook seems to be a good place to start.

Finally, don't be so hard on yourself. After all, you're just a kid! You're not even perfect so inexperience + imperfection = lots of mistakes!! Don't make the mistake of trying to be more mature and grow up so fast that you don't remember what it was like to be a kid.  

Answer 10

I went through the same thing. At first it was really hard but all you need is one or two good friends and you'll be fine.  Just be careful when you pick your friends, private and public school is very, very different. Don't change who you are so you can fit in, find people that like you for who you already are.
