I Need Advice from experience...?

Question

I am entering grade 6 (middle school) and i am worried about not fitting in with the "in" crowd. Any advice about how to fit in?

Answer 1

You should just be "yourself".. .

Don't change yourself on purpose just to fit in the "in" crowd -- chances are, it might seem glamorous and everything, but you won't feel "really" happy..

Plus, the friends you make in that crowd probably won't last.

Speaking from advice: you should just make friends naturally and find a clique (or not) that you feel comfortable with and have fun.

Answer 2

oh i remember going in to the sixth grade!

that was like 3 years ago lol =)

i was so excited and nervous at the same time

but when i started i wasn't nervous anymore cause i met so many new people cause this was the first year we got to change classes!

i made so much more new friends

just talk to people

you will meet so many more people cause you switch classes

stick with your good friends from 5th grade

and relax you will love sixth grade

you get more freedom than in 5th

don't worry about the "in" crowd

be yourself and people will like you for being you

good luck

=)

Answer 3

Don't try to fit in with them.

The more you try to worst it'll be come. If you are meant to be in that group you will get in it.

Answer 4

Act confident (even if you have to fake it - people don't know the difference) and always treat others with respect.  

Answer 5

Don't bother fitting in. Last year (when I was in 6th grade) I tried "fitting in" and guess what? That year was the worse! I got in trouble, etc.

Don't try fitting in, it's just a waste of time.

Be yourself.

Answer 6

Hey!

Congrats on going into middle school! I loved it, and so should you!

Just be yourself! Don't try to hard, people can tell and they don't like it. Also, a lot of the people in the in crowd aren't all that kind and generous. They usually only hangout with the other "in" people, and it makes others feel bad.

DON'T GO OUT AND BUY NEW CLOTHES JUST TO FIT IN. You might think it will work, but you know what? CLOTHES ARE CLOTHES! Whether it says Abercrombie or the Target brand logo, if its cute, it is cute. No labels will change that.

I hope you enjoy 6th grade. I found it to be fun! You get TONS more freedom than in 5th grade. You feel grown up in 6th grade. At least I did when I was 12, which was 17 years ago. Anyway, enjoy middle school while you can. Your still a kid, and you have many years ahead.

Answer 11

the girl is right be yourself and concentrate on passing school with flying colours as it is your future you should be worrying about not .

Answer 12

Relax and be yourself. People hate those that try to hard. don't be shy walk up to somebody and introduce yourself. compliment their outfit and ask if they want to hang out

Answer 13

don't worry to much about fitting in, the girls who are in the 'in' crowd in

6,7,8th grade are usually the burnt out pregnant girls in high school

that's how it was in my school at least.

just be yourself, and don't be shy. Try not to talk sh*t it just gives you a bad rep. And try to make friends with people in a lot of different cliques.

good luck :]

Answer 14

Don't bother fitting it. They are the ones that go off to high school as preppy little b*****s that people don't like to be around. Be yourself and fall into whatever group of friends you make.

Answer 15

well my experience. hmmm...

well i definately wasn't in with the "in" crowd because most of the popular preppy people are fake. i fit in just fine with a group of people that accepted me for who i was. and no i was not an outcast. i had plenty of boyfriends and lots and lots of friends. i was in that group who wasn't afraid to speak their minds or be themselves. and we DIDNT care who liked us and who didn't. although we got along with just about everyone in our school because we were so carefree about what people thought about us. so just be yourself dont try to hard and dont try to fit in where you know you dont belong. find friends with the same likes and dislikes as you and your middle school and high schooldays will be amazing. i graduated in 2007 and still have most of my friends from school and im in germany now. good luck =]

Answer 16

Actually the "in crowd" is not all that.  They like to think that they are "all that" but they are just as insecure as the next one.  The only way that they can feel good about themselves is putting down others.  The coax others into the circle, and can become a "gang" if you will.  My advice is to stay true to yourself , be a good person, help those that need help, offer your friendship to all.  But for gosh sake stay away form the "in" crowd, society does not need them.  

Answer 17

didnt you just ask this?  why dont you make friends first then worry about the "in crowd".
