text: In a recent survey, 2 out of every 5 middle schoolers don't know who to go to for advice. This can be detrimental, as they never get help on the situation. It depends on the issue that they are having, but the best people to go to are the ones closest to them. In a situation like friend problems, it may be best to go to a parent or a relative. If you are having trouble in school or sports, you could ask a teacher or coach, for they would be happy to help. A friend could help you out if you had a hard decision to make on whether you should take a class or not. The people closest to you are the best advice givers you can get.
