Why don't you think you are prepared?

It is just another grade, you moved up from your grade last year, and next year is just the same, "middle school" is just a name, it is just a school with teachers and classes

Just think there will be many other students in your same position - first year in Middle School, starting all over with teachers and friends and getting to know the building and rules, etc. You are going from being the big fish in the little pond (6th grade in elementary school) to being the little fish in a bigger pond. Have you visited this Middle School yet? I do not know how your school system transitions students, but when both my sons made that transition, there were two half days set up for students to go and scout out the Middle School. They were buddied up with a current student from the Middle School.

How do you feel you are not ready? Academically not ready? Emotionally not ready? Just unsure of new places and new things? You are not the only one with those concerns. You will meet others who feel the same. Maybe others in your class now who can express those same feelings. Ask your teacher for advice on how to handle the transition and what to expect. Best of luck to you.

I'm in 7th grade and my jump from 5th to 6th was scary but fun! There were alot of goths and everyone seemed bigger then I was. But you are so much more free in middle school. It's awesome!!! I'm scared of highschool though. I just don't want to go!!! But you can worry about that later. Good luck!!

I think you're anxious because you don't want to leave elementary school behind and moving on to something new without knowing what to expect is not always obvious. That's OK!
They make it sound as a big deal, but trust me it's not. Everybody can make it through and in the end you'll be glad you did.

So, be positive about it... I am sure you're ready for it even though you think you're not. Be happy to move on to something new without being anxious!
