gahhh...homework!!!! it sort of seems like most of the teachers don't
care how much you really know as long as you get the homework done. I
think we should be able to pick which classes we want in middle
school, because of reasons like ...what if history doesn't interest
you?!

That middle school is ok and a little bit good because you don't have
to stay in one classroom. You also get new elec tives every nine weeks
like this nine weeks I have general music next nine weeks I hope I
have life skills with Mrs. Farris. That the next nine weeks will be
the last nine weeks of the school year that also the last nine weeks
will be the most fun of all the nine weeks because that's the last
nine weeks. That also one more thing that I forgot to mension about
the nine weeks that reading, band,choures,andorestra stay the same.

I love middle school except that there was no recess. That sucks but

school is a technolgoy school. We have computers all over the place.
In media center, reading classes, math class, science class and even

that's all for now. I'll write back soon.
P.S My school rocks!!!! We can bring our music and the teachers will

I just moved here, and I thought it would be hard to get into a new
school, especially middle school. But I learned that if you have one
great friend, mine being Crystal, you can do anything. If you're like
me and are a big tomboy-outcasty type, don't worry. Just be yourself
and you'll go far. In terms of dating, well, most relationships I see
last a good 3 days at most. Don't rush into it, because that will
happen to you. Most of the guys in middle school are shy and dumb.
There are exceptions,though. Find a guy that is smart, funny, and duh,
hot. Not too many of them so get them while you can. I'm single
because all the guys in 6B are stupid except for nerds. Know that if 3
or more people come up to you and say a guy likes you, then chances
are they do. 1 person, not too reliable unless it's that guy. I've
have 40 or so people say that one guy likes me. I think I'd say yes if
he asked me out because he fits all the terms described earlier. Oh,
the lockers rock. 8 classes d!
on't.

into that school i was like this is not going to be a good year. I
thought none of my friends went there. Untill i saw one of my friends
that i went to craik with. i thought i would never past, or make any
friends. But my guesses were wrong. You just have to wait untill you

well, my real opinion is it "stinks"....i mean i thought it would be
cool to be able to walk in the halls but it want and i thought you
would be able to meet alot of new cool friends and have alot of
relationships without anybody pressuring you but i was totally wrong.i
mean it was cool that i met some guys i liked and alot of cool
friends..oh and you have to get up earlier.but my favorite thing about
middle school is that it gives you a chance to meet new people and
stuff but my least favorite thing is how everyone is like in groups
and you can not be in a specific type of group without having some
kind of specail quality!the thing that surprised me the most about
middle school was that how many people that never went out with anyone
last year goes out with people this year and starts to become
popular!!the thing i learned the most aboutwas that peer pressure does
exsist and it does not matter if you ahve a date or not it matters
that you like the way you are inside of you!!
!oh and that you should always have good friends by your side just in
case something bad happens and that you would need a shoulder to cry
on. my favorite subject is p.e. because it works soo good with your
body and mind and i like to stay in shape!! my favorite teacher
influenced me to try my best at everything no matter how small or
big...i love that about that teacher.you know i think it feels good to
just talk and say what i feel out to everyone...well now you know how
i feel but how i feel does not mean you have to feel the same way i
mean you all might love middle school but im sorry...... i dont.and if
you are just going into mid-high dont worry maybe it wont be as bad
for you as it is for me..bye everyone thanks for letting me do
this..!bye

Middle School is really awesome if you have fun with it. Be
optimistic, make friends, and get the best grades you can. Everyone
belongs somewhere, so just find the clique that's right for you and
resist the temptation of being rude or smart alecky. In 6th grade it's
easy to make friends because that's what -everyone- is looking to do,
but it really does get harder as you get older. Keep your reputation
fairly good and you'll be fine. Ignore the older kids.. it's just a
tradition to pick on the younger children, so don't take it personal.
Other than that.. have fun and goodluck. ;)

up going to differnt schools and youll miss them of course.the 1st day
of middle school i was scared of the big people and i learned there
not mean at all there very friendly and helpful about where you need
to go and how to stay out of trouble so DONT beleive all of those
fonny rumers cause there all fake!!!!! but just remember 1 thing stay
out of trouble and keep your thoughts to your self and learn 4rm nice
people and those are the ones you should look up to not the mean kids
that are disrespectful and mean to you like the first day they see you
and dont even like you and call you losers those are the people that
are going to fail in life thats my advice for middle schoolers and
remember dont beleive the fonny rumors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Middle school is not really as bad as it seems. After a while, you
just get used to it. The whole locker, changing, dance, and hallway
things, you just get used to them after a while. And does he like you?
Well, if you're lucky, he just might. The fact is, middle school may
be unpredictable, but it's defintiely not impossible to get through.

you might think "i can't wait to get to middle school"
oh are you wrong
hours of homework
then its time for bed
you get to talk to your friend not for very long
but if you talk during class
you might just get in trouble
when you were in lower school you might have had a subject you quite
liked very well
but when you get to middle school it isn't that swell
middle school has its ups and downs
but you dont have a choice
you hvae to go to get an education
in all it is is quite well
it makes your life turn out to be really swell

The best thing about Middle School is the freedom you have compared to
elementary. In Middle School you're on your own pretty much. You don't
have a homeroom and you don't have someone telling you what to do all
the time. However, you have to stay in lines and go everywhere your
homeroom goes. That is why I like the freedom you have in Middle
School.

What I like most about Middle School is being with your friends and
having lots of fun with them. If you go to school and have no friends
your might not like school that much. If you have no one to talk to
other than teachers you will have a boring life. I look forward to
going to school just to see my friends and at school you can make alot
of friends. Because people come from place you have never been and got
to school. And if you did not go to school you would have never met
them. They might just turn out to be your friend. another thing I like
is that at school you have people to talk to about problems without
making a big thing about it. Because it just looks like you are
normally talking. But if you talked to a parent they would make it
something big. But somethings are good to talk to a adult about.

Middle School is really tuff but once you get used to all of the

much easier with them around.I think that the hardest thing is staying
out of trouble. Everyone thinks that just beacause your in middle
school you can start behaving like a juvinile. I know i did when I
first started middle school. The truth is though that you can't do
that. You should always act like you care about school even if you

grade is a wake up call!, 6th grade was also a nightmire for me
becasue there were so many problems with freinds but we got over it,

Well you can say a lot about middle school. Personally the things that
I like about middle school is that you will always be making new
friends, but at the same time you may be losing old ones too. Some of
our teachers are so stricked but some will let you just sit there and
talk and write notes if you want too. The stuff that sucks about M.S
is that you ALWAYS have homework even on the weekends. But really when
I was a 6th grader I loved it I thought that i was awesome because i
was in middle school. Now i just want to leave and go to high school.
When your in middle school you should always just take the time and
half fun you will never get those years back, you middle school years
really determine who you will be in high school, think about what you
want to be known as.

Middle school is really fun. I do like the fact that you have a lot
more freedom and independance, but i also hate that kids are so mean
to other kids. In middle school there are lots of "clicks" that all
the diffent "groups" have, but you should always be positive about
it...i'm so glad that this is my last year of middle school, and then
i'm at the high school...i'm so ready, and tired of middle school...i
hate all the mean kids, and junk like that...I hate middle school
because i want to be friends with everyone, but in middle school, it
doesnt work that way. And if you're coming into middle school with a
negative energy then you'll never survive becuase you gotta be tough,
becuase i guarentee at least one kid will be mean to you, and if you
dont learn how to deal with it in a good way, then you'll end up with
not a lot of friends..this is middle school and its defenately not
like elementary school, smaller lockers, locks on the lockers, so many
things are different and !

Hey! I just want to tell anyone going into middle school--DON'T
WORRY!! ;-) It's not a scary place at all, and it's almost exactly
like elemenatary school. I already knew a lot of kids (because many
were coming from my elementary school), but I also met some great and
new ones! Even though it may seem hard to make friends, it's pretty
easy when you have a lot of classes. There might be some changes in
middle school, but most of them are for the better and you will get
used to them-and sooner than you think. Don't worry, you'll have a
blast. Just remember your time at middle school is what you make of
it..so make it count! Enjoy every moment. I'm going into high school
next year..(oh no!)..now that's something to worry about! haha, just
kidding! ByeBye everyone!

What i think about middle school? I think Middle is way better than
elementery school becuase you have more opitunities to do things and
you have more fun in class than elementery school. Plus you get your
own locker its way better than a desk where you have to put in your
all your books and get stuff stolen.Plus the desk in middle skool is
way way better becuase it is comforitable to sleep in.

I thought that middle school was going to be harder to understand and
that I wouldn't know where to go. Once I got there it was really easy
to get. I really like changing classes but I don't like how little
time they give you to do so. What surprised me the most was that it
was just easy to find my classes and get there on time. I made a lot
of new friends and I don't really talk to my elementary friends
anymore. I really enjoy Science, French, math, and lit. I don't like
gym.

When I first started middle school I thought it just going to be a
better more improved 6th grade but I was way wrong! There are no
recesses, only a half hour lunch time and the people you thought were
friends turn against each other. some moments it feels like your
holding the world on your shoulders and others you just feel like your
floating through the day, middle school is just... unpredictible.
Sometimes you just wish people could just be friends again and not
hate each other any more. Thats the thing that surprised me, you didnt
know who your friends were anymore you feel like your competely lost
and alone, but middle school isnt all bad You have lockers and more
lunch choices and you have Eight classes instead of one long boring
one and its just COOL! I guess middle school has its ups and its downs
but either way if you try hard it will be alot easier than i'm making
it sound.:)

The subject i most enjoy is P.E. I love atheletics so that is why I

also get a break from class that has written work. It is proven when

Middle School is a big thing. It gets you ready for high school which
gets you ready for college. Many people hate school and all the
homework that goes with it, me being one of them. I have come to
realise though that school can be so boring and yet so fun at the same
time. Think about it,you wouldn't have the things you have the
friends you love or even the life you have without school. You would
be a very different person than you think you are.

I loved middle school!
Every morning I would awake, very excited about going to school. I
sometimes broke the rules by arriving a little earlier then what was
allowed. It was ok. I did not get in trouble.
And, very often, I would stay late; talking with teachers or other
middle school students waiting around for their parents to pick them
up.
I had a lot of different memorable experiences. I saw kids, cry, get
in trouble, laugh, get excited and fall in and out of "love."
Teachers were fun, too. I liked doing pulling practical jokes on some
of my teachers. I guess it was ok, because after they saw who did it,
they really did not get very mad.
I liked those special days, like Medieval Market, holidays, or
special event days where you could dress up! One time, during
Halloween, I actually dressed up to look like the school secretary!
Boy, was she surprised to see me walk into the office!
It was a very sad time for me when it was time to leave. Like all
other middle school students who start to feel anxious about leaving
and entering a different world with different challenges, I had the
same anxious feelings.
As I look back on my time in middle school, I do not regret one moment
of the 19 years that I was there. You see, I was the principal.

I thought that middle school would be really hard and that i would
have a lot of home work and that 7th and 8th graders would pick on
me. it is not really that hard u just have to be really responsible.
if u pay attention in class and use your spare time to do ur homework
then u really won't have that much. older kids won't pick on you b
cuz they r in a diffrent part of the building than u r. the best thing
about middle school to me is that u get to switch classes. the thing
that is bad about middle school is that u do not get to choose ur
schedule like u do in high school. i know that u get to choose u
schedule in high school bcuz my brother is a sophmore.(10th grade)my
favorite subject is social studies b cuz my ss teacher is one of my
favorite teachers and i am ointrested in learning about the past. the
teacher that influenced me the most is my reading teacher. the reason
is bcuz last year in the fifth grade i finishde only3 books the whole
year. this year i have alread!
y finished 5 or 6 books.

I THOUGHT MIDDLE SCHOOL WOULD BE SO HARD! BUT IT WASNT! I LIKED THE
PEOPLE THERE. I MADE A LOT OF FRIENDS. I DIDNT LIKE THE TEACHERS THAT
MUCH, THOUGH. WHAT SURPRISED ME ABOUT MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS HOW EASY IT
WAS. I LEARNED ALOT ABOUT MYSELF. I LEARNED ALOT ABOUT MY FRIENDS TOO,
LIKE THEY ARE A LOT LIKE ME, ONLY A LITTLE DIFFERENT. I ENJOYED ART
AND COOKING. MRS MURPHY, MY MATH TEACHER, TOLD ME IF I REALLY STUDIED
AND TRIED MY BEST I COULD BE GOOD AT A LOT OF THINGS. SHE HELPED WITH
MY STUDIES SO I COULD PLAY BASKETBALL.

for all of you who are starting middle school, here is some useful
advice...
1. after you get your locker, if you find it too much of a problem to
get there, carry 2 subjects with you at a time! it helps!
2. find out who you are and who your real friends are and then hang
out with them! always be nice to EVERYONE even though they might be a
'geek' because what goes around, comes around and you might find you a
new best friend!
3. always stand up for what you think is right! don't let anyone tell
you that you are a dork because you won't curse or do something you
know is bad! they will learn to respect you!
4. DON'T DO DRUGS! you could get busted and then your record will go
down the toilet!
5. STUDY FOR STUFF! instead of playing video games, watching t.v, or
talking on the phone, study! it might just come in handy, and you will
find that your grades will improve from it.
6.DON'T talk back to the teacher when she wants you to do something!
she will march your butt down to the office or write you up! that
means you will probably not be liked by a lot of teachers! they are
there to help you and they deserve respect, give it to them!
7.do your homework! if you need help, ask the teacher that is what
they are there for! ooh, but do NOT CHEAT! they want to know what you
know, not what your friends know!
8. respect your school and other people's property! how would you like
it if someone wrote on your wall with spray paint or got in your
locker and stole something????? think about it...
9. always get a jump start on your projects or stuff like make up
work... the quicker you get it done, the more time you will have to do
other things! plus you won't be stressed! ( but do not race through
it! if you don't have time to do it right the first time, then you
will have to make time to do it again! )
10. finally, HAVE FUN! get involved with clubs, band, chorus, etc. !
it will make your year go a whole lot better! ( but do not sign up for
too much, it can cause you to have a melt down!! )
hope you like the advice! if you put this to heart then you will find
out that middle school isn't so bad after all! well, until next time!
i'm out! c ya! jessica

School can be very frustrating! Sometimes you might feel like you want
to drop out or quit, I always get this feeling. But then when you see
smaller kids talking about how cool you are being in seventh and eight
grade, it's worth it! Trust me! So always do your best and never give
up!!It will be worth it! It's a lot cooler being in school than it is
sitting at home without a job at the age of 40!!

Middle school is awesom!!! All my friends waiting for me at my locker.
Trying to get to my homeroom befor that blasted bell rings. Everbody
trying to talk to me at the same time. Dropping your books in the hall
is a very bad thing even though thay get kicked all over the hall.
Trying to chase your science book and getting tramppled all at the
same time. I'm just trying to say middle school is great!!

It is a break out time. You grow into someone who is alredy thinking
about piercings and is starting to curse. It feels weird at first but
you learn to love it and take it for what it is.
