You need tips on what? I can't give you any tips unless I know what you are wanting to know.

Be yourself and be prepared

I need tips on eny thing if you've been through middle school then you would now what I need to look out for and what I can stop sweating about!

Relax honey. It will be fine as long as your stay in school. People will be bullies at times, but don't let their words get to you, brush it off and act like you don't care. It will make them stop bullying you around.
Be sure to do your homework and pass your classes.

Don't take any wooden nickels

Just relax! To me it wasn't much different then what I had been doing, except you change classes. School is school, at times it is a blast, and at other times you hate it. Just live for the good and learn from the bad. Be yourself and if someone likes you, great, and if someone doesn't like you, then that is their problem. You will have fun, don't worry about it.

Middle school is nothing to be afraid of. I'm starting high school in the fall,and I'm not that scared anymore. What I'm saying is,that middle school is the same as elementary school,it's just that you have harder work,more classes,lockers,and your more grown-up. The first day can be scary,but you'll get used to it. If I can do it,you can to! TTFN! Good Luck!

I'm a Mom and my son is starting middle school this year. Let me share what I've told him.

First of all, every kid your age is starting at the same time as you and they have the same fears you do. They don't know any more than you do, so don't feel like you are going to walk into this mysterious situation like the only kid who doesn't have a clue. Nobody has a clue, and you'll all figure it out at the same time.

Second, grownups aren't as dumb as we sometimes seem. We know it's hard being in middle school - we've been there. Most of what makes it hard is the self-doubt and worry about what we don't know yet and knowing that, the grownups involved in your school will make sure you are well supported until you feel comfortable in this new school environment. They will help you find your classes, remember your locker combination, figure out hard homework assignments and so on.

You will have worries about social stuff, but you will figure that out when you need to. When it comes to stuff like dating, follow your parent's advise - they know you and have your best interests at heart more than anyone.

I remember, for example, worrying about what kissing would be like. Believe me, when you are ready for this stuff, you figure it out. Not worth worrying about. I also remember worrying I'd never ever have a boyfriend - well, I've had a lot of them - as many as the much, much prettier and more popular girls.

A lot of kids your age are nervous about their appearance because they want everyone to think they look good, and feel very judged and noticed. Just wear what you like, shower every day, keep your hair looking neat and clean and forget about it. If you aren't sure what to wear, go to a store for kids your age and ask for help from the sales staff to put together some outfits. Get some magazines about teen fashion. Don't try to dress sexy or older than you are - that's trashy, not cute. The other kids are too nervous about how they look to worry about how you look.

As for the work, just like every other year, the school will give you work that's at your level but a little bit challenging so that you can handle it, but will learn. That's the same thing they've done since you were in Kindergarten. If something seems impossible, keep in mind that at earlier points in your development you taught yourself to walk, you learned how to tie your shoes, you learned how to read and write - those tasks were just as daunting then as whatever you are nervous about now.

Just relax, and know that nobody expects you to know anything you havent' done before. You will find a very nervous group of kids will start the year, and by Christmas it will be like the whole group of you own the place. Just like it was when you started kindergarten.

Get everything done. Keep organized. Don't really "care" about what people say. Don't change yourself for anyone. But just chill...I was like you and I was totally scared. My first year was horrible because all I did was worry and stress myself out. But later I then found out I can get get by, do things I want to do, and don't have to stress out that much.
