Will I be laughed at in middle school? ?

Question

I am going to middle school this year and I don't know what to expect.

I have been on the A honor roll since kindergarten and in advanced placement. I'm afraid I'll immediately be classified as a geek. In elementary school I didn't have very many friends and everyone thought I studied too much. If I am labeled as a geek what should I do?

Answer 1

Ok I was worried about this same thing because I have always been an A honor roll student too but as I got into jr. high and then high school (I just graduated) I learned how to balance my social life and studies.  Don't worry about coming across as a geek and don't try to change yourself to fit in. Just be yourself. Make time to get involved in clubs and organizations but still keep your grades up...I promise it's possible!  You'll be so grateful when you're applying to college and you have the grades and involvement to get a great scholarship!

Hope this helps

Good luck:)

Answer 2

don't worry about what other's think.

i know it's hard, but the best advice i can give you is to be yourself.

keep a smile on your face & your head up high.

don't stop studying, because if you do, it'll haunt you for the rest of your life.

i could go on & on about my middle school years, but i'd rather not bore you, lol.

i just know from experience to just be yourself.

& never let go of the books.

no matter what they call you.

kids are cruel & they're *** holes.

& trust me.

karma does come back to them in the end.

& when it does, you'll be sitting there, kicked back with a scholarship to a fine college & they'll be sitting there with their lives so effed up & scattered about.

you'll win in the end. =]

Answer 3

try to fit in

Answer 4

Well you shouldn't care cause I am very smart as well and let me tell you I could careless about what they thought. I am in the top of my class and it pays off to be smart and pay attention in class. Most kids are jealous so they try to be mean and say you are geek. But you are smart and they can kiss your butt cause one day they will need you.

Peace.

Answer 5

be yourself, just because you have good grades doesn't label you as a geek. When you go into middle school different elementary schools are combined you'll meet a ton of new people and hopefully make new friends. If you are labeled as a geek find more people that are also labeled as geeks or just find people that are interested in some of the same things you are by joining clubs but, Hopefully you'll meet people that don't label you at all.  

Answer 6

Well first of all you shouldn't care what people think about you it's just going to ruin your self-esteem.

&& If your going to be a sixth grader or whatever beginning grade you have in your middle school don't act like you all that because the older kids would just be turned off and like bug you and stuff.

also since middle school is bigger than an elementary school you'll find more people that are like you so I think you'll have plenty of friends.

It's just jitters. Everyone has that when you go to a new school.

Well I hope I helped. Gewd Look at your new school!!

Answer 7

If you're labelled as a geek, enjoy it. It means you're smart and your studies are important to you. While some kids have a problem with this because they have insecurities about their intelligence or just think it's not cool, that's their problem.

If you want more friends, show more interest in people, ask questions, let them talk.  

Answer 8

Getting the honor roll in middle school is considered cool. In elementary school, the kids are really immature. In middle school, kids learn to grow up, and don't be so stupid. You are not the only one who is going to be getting straight A's. If you are labeled as a geek, I suggest you tell them to shut up and just back off. They're only mad cause the only A they've ever seen just happens to be on your test paper and not theirs. Just ignore the haters.  

Answer 9

stay the way you are. no one is really going to laugh at you, just try to make more friends, so people can get to know you better. And also, TV is all a lie, don't believe anything they say.

Answer 10

dont do anything.

you sound like  a great person, and if no one in your classes see's that then its there loss. when your older you'll find great friends, but the people you'll hangout with now, wont even know you when your older.

good luck, dont fall into peerpressure! thats no way to make friends.

show everyone your better than the bad things they offer

Answer 11

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Middle school is like an extension of elementary school, but with a little bit more homework and you switch classes, that's about it. Being smart, you'll fly right through it. That's a really good thing too.

And believe me, no one is still into the whole clique lunch thing, and classifying people as "geeks" or "jocks" or "preps". What you see on TV is all a lie, lol. You'll be just fine.

And by the way, 7th and 8th graders aren''t mean, lol. :P
