My daughter is nervous about Middle School. Can anyone give her some tips to ease her nerve?

Question

Any advice that you might have would be very helpful! Thanks Again!

Answer 1

I am a High School teacher but have taught at the Middle School level also.

Tell her that what is ahead is some of the most fun and interesting days of her life. If she makes good decisions (chooses good friends, works hard, stays away from bad influences ) she will experience things far greater and more rewarding than in elementary school.

It is a step in becoming her own person. She will be making more decisions for herself, and moving into adulthood.

There will be some difficult times, but she can minimize them by keeping clear of where trouble is, and listening to parents, teachers and administrators.

Very soon she will wonder what she was worried about.

Answer 2

just chill out and dont stress it

i met alot of new people aand had a bunch of new friends by the second day of middle school, and i am a very shy person

think of it as elementry school with alot more people

and dont pay any attention to the older kids in higher grades cuz they just think theyre cool (bt they're not lol)

hope i helped!

and have fun!

Answer 3

middle school is sooo not what shows and movies show. that's just the stereotypical way, they show all these cliques, bullies, etc.

there is really nothing to worry about, middle school is definitely a big change from elementary school because you have more freedom. you are responsible for yourself which might sound scary but its really fun! changing classes one after another is pretty cool, because even if you don't have classes with some of your friends you still get to see them in between classes and have a small conversation! just be careful that your not late for your next class!

heres some tips to be successful in middle school:

*make new friends but keep old ones

*be friendly on the first day

*no matter how distracting boys or friends can be try to focus on school while at school, and save socializing for after school or lunch.

*have fun! middle school is a awesome place to be especially 6th grade!!

goodluck!

Answer 4

Ah, the beginning of middle school was so nervewracking for me! But the first day is always so much easier than you think it'll be. You're bound to have some friends in your classes, and you WILL make a few new ones, too, so you won't be totally alone no matter where you go. And no mattter how nervous you are about finding your classes and all that, it's really all just nerves talking- you'll be fine, ask someone if you can't quite figure out where a room is.

Hope she has a great first day! =]

Answer 5

everyone is nervous on their first day of middle school. i will admit, the first day is pretty scary, but it is easy to make friends. there are so many more people in middle school, so there are going to be people who share the same interests. try talking to someone new, you might be surprised, but you could actually make a new friend!

Answer 6

im going into middle school too and im not that nervous. im pretty excited actually. my brother gave me some tips and said middle school is about the best years of your life. you meat TONS of new friends. you get to be independent. and if shes nervous about getting "bullied by the 8th graders" or "stuffed in a locker" she shouldnt be because beginning of school, they are just talking to friends and all and they really dont care about you. she should talk to a friend about how they are getting lockers, switching classes, no more walking in lines, etc. then they will get more and more excited that she wont be nervous...except when she walks in so she should meet up with her friends so they can explore it together.
