There are going to be so many changes in Middle School you may not even have to deal with them.

Were you bullied by any of these kids?

If they talk behind your back, and spread rumors or something of that nature that is bullying.

In most states there are laws against it.

They'll probably move on to someone new in High School to talk about.

Don't be afraid to speak up for yourself and tell them to leave you alone. Do this in front of a teacher.

Don't be afraid to talk to the principal. He can stop it and they will never know who told him... that is your right and he has to let you remain anonymous.

Always have materials you need for each class. i.e. calculator, pens , papers.

Always be respectable too your teachers. Use a pleasant voice and keep eye contact.

Try not to be tardy. Have your homework and make it neat.

Dress appropriately. It doesn't matter if you don't wear designer jeans or carry a $500 purse, it's the person you are that tells who you are.

Read your School Handbook and know ALL the zero tolerance rules.

Be kind and never pick on someone who isn't popular or who isn't as fortunate as you.

If those mean kids start, ignore and walk away . If they keep it up do as I told you. It's not tattle telling when it's something interfering with your ability to learn.

Don't carry a cell phone unless it's allowed and keep it turned off.

Hope you have a good year

I also wanted to add this.

If you live in the US, forty-seven states have anti-bullying laws.

Bullying is when someone puts their hands on you in order to inflict pain.

Calling you names or spreading rumors.

Making it impossible for you to concentrate on studying.

Saying inappropriate things about you such as name calling or anything about your appearance.

Bullies run in groups of two or three because they are afraid to attempt it on their own.

Cyber bullying is also against the law... Cyber bullying is sending pictures or ugly text messages by cell phone or computer.

Stand up straight and tall and be proud of yourself.

You can tell your parents or a teacher. The days of it being not cool to tell are over.

Document what was said. Keep any emails or text messages they may send. Show them to your parents.

If it starts again this year... tell someone and you may be helping someone else.

The best thing to do is to ignore them. If they pick on you, stand up for yourself. It shouldn't matter if they talk behind your back. There are always going to be people in your life that you aren't going to like and people that don't like you. No one is liked by everyone regardless of how nice they are. It's just something you have to accept, expect, and not worry too much about. Besides, you can make new friends in a new school.

Ignore them. Just excel at what you do, enjoy what you do, and ignore them.

If you don't pay attention to them, they'll give up. It's no fun bullying someone that doesn't respond.

I believe also in standing up for yourself, but now in schools there is ZERO TOLERANCE. If she gets into an altercation with these girls and it becomes physical she can be suspended or have ISS or expulsion. The recent events in schools have made it possible for kids to tell.

The Bullying laws are quite clear and that is , bullying is a crime. Any form or fashion it is a crime. Now kids can go to school and not be frightened of being beaten up or worse. Telling is not wrong.

U should jjust ignore them and have a good time

Just read the tips I gave the other OP and you should be fine. Check your handbook and do what the teachers say.

Harassment, intimidation or bullying can take many forms including: slurs, rumors, jokes, innuendo's, demeaning comments, drawing cartoons, pranks, gestures, physical attacks, threats, or other written, oral or physical actions refers to the individual's choice to engage in the act rather than the ultimate impact of the action

Hope this helps a little more.
