text: I'm going into 7th grade tto and a lot of these answers are true, but just be prepared for more homework and more pressure. Stick to you friends like glue, because they can drop so fast you don't know what hit you. I'm sorry, but girels can be really mean so stand your guard. If you see someone being left out you should try to include them. Different teachers can have different oppinions about almost everything, so don't think that the some tactics will work on everyone. Have fun. If you need adice ask someone you truly trust, perferably a family member. Stick to your family as well because no matter how bad your grades are (which I'm sure they aren't at all) or how big of a mess your room is they will always love you. I would start out (as far as classes go) by choosing the simplistics at least for the frist quarter. After that maybe one or two extra ciricular classes to keep your stress level down. Also, always keep on the good side of your teacor you might not know what will happen. As far as boys, to start out you should follow your parents advice and rules otherwise you might end up in a really bad situation. Also, do what you think is right and definitly don't do anything just to make someone cool. Follow your heart, otherwise your letting yourself down. Make sure the person your dating is someone acceptable to you, not just to your friends. If someone you truley trust tells you to stay away from your dating or trying to become friends with then you probably should, but they may not know what's best for Y-O-U. You should think about that every time you decide to go out with someone or hang out with some one. Is this best for you and your family, (because they will always be a part of your life) or your popularity, or friends. I hope you make the right choices and think about them before you make them. Good Luck, and Congrats on going into Junior High!
