Hi, I'm starting middle school in August and I'm excited but I'm very shy and I'm going to need some tips or anything you can tell me that can hep me or that I need to be careful with. Please help me! :confused::D

Remember that every other 7th grader will be nervous too! Some just hide it better. Be yourself and step outside your comfort zone a little at a time. Try saying hi to someone new, partner up with someone you don't know in a lab. I used to be very shy but with time and practice I slowly expanded my comfort zone and now I am much happier. It wasn't easy and it was scary at times but if you take it slow and be persistent it will pay off! Good luck in the 7th grade!

Hi, smiley123!

Perhaps you could visit the school in the summer and ask someone in the office or a teacher to give you a tour?

Thanks!

Hi Smiley123!
Im starting middle school to in August 17,2009! Im totally nervous! Im on the shy side! Some advice I can give is...
1. Be yourself!
2. Do your best on any school work and if you don't understand the lesson ask the teacher!
3. Try to stay out of drama and bullies!
4. I would suggest not be in a relationship because they take you away from your school work and friends! If you want one you can!
5. Have Fun! Enjoy middle school while you can!
Well I hope 6th good for u!

Remember this: in a few years, you will all seem like enormously immature dorks, and you're all nervous. Some just hide it better.

Just work hard, find time to hang out, don't worry about dating yet. It's all drama when you're younger and really not worth it.

Well you wrote that you are excited and shy,everybody is,so try to be brave.Some advice is don't go around and tell so many people your secrets,only tell people that you really trust.Good luck!;)

I can tell u right now, 6th grade was an AMAZING year for me. I met new people and cought up with old. Just go with the flow. When big tip I can tell u is don't get cought up in drama it's a waste of time!Have fun email me if u have anything deeper to ask about it

I would just be yourself. Everyone else in your grade is going to be just as nervous as you are. LIf you're worried about older kids picking on you, just remember that about 2 years ago, they were in the same position as you. I would go to the school over the summer for a tour and to see your locker. Just be sure to know who your friends are and avoid drama. Good Luck :)
