I really need tips I don't think I am ready for Jr. High... Anyone's help is great. I have read books and searched the web!

I think it is very normal to feel insecure moving into a different school and growing up. You aren't the only one to feel that way and believe me many of your classmates are having these same feelings.

I had the same thing when it came to driving. I actually had nightmares where the cars were as big as skyscrapers and had panic attacks before getting on the road. It a rite of passage and once you go, you will realize that what you were scared of, isn't really all that scary after all.

All right first don't panic okay and when I went through this it was really something but I got over it so clean up your act and just go for it
