first day issues ? ( PLEASE ONLY WOMEN OR GALS )?

my little sister just started her first day in 8th grade on the 13th she came home in tears and told me it was ” a disaster ” she told me she got lost, coldnt find her classes, missed lunch, had no breaks, got her period in the middle of the day had no pads ( was wearing light shorts :0 ) the kids laughed at her behind her back, only made some friends that ” drove her nuts” then she was complaining about the normal issues ie. popular gals so on ……. anyway she is so upset still she doesnt want to ever go back again and have to go through that a second time……so i was hoping you had some suggestion or comments that will help ( last time it did )

– hooroo !

Tell her to learn to laugh at herself, for she is only human.

And tell her to wear darker shorts or pants from now on

the second day has to be better!!! now she has a little idea of where her classes are. My middle school was the same way I was half way through the year before I figured out the layout of the school because I was always a nervous wreck. What helped me the most was my step-dad took me to school after hours and we walked the school and I took my schedule and he showed me how to get to all my classes and around the whole school. he also showed me how to work my combination lock (ugh) that thing ’bout killed me!!! maybe y’all could do the same for her. show her around and let her find her classes w/o the time limit

Well start bringing pads around would be a good thing for her. I think she should take things slow. Like try to think calmly and if you went to that school draw her a map of it. That should help her. Plus she’ll make friends, i’m sure she will. Plus the popular girls are popular generally for the wrong reasons.

Tell her to always pack pads in her purse, always bring an extra pair of shorts or pants and every day is a brand new fresh start.

Listen. Try and ask her to ask some girls who were nice and get them to hang to hang out with her instead of those other girls. Get her to laugh about it and actually make jokes about herself with those girls. Soon they will mention their most embaressing moments and they’ll all start laughing. Plus I bet you five bucks next week they’ll be laughing about someone else. Plus make sure she goes back the next day and looks not like she’s fased at all. Good Luck! 🙂

well alot of that bad stuff had to do with her period, you need to explain the emotions that come with being a woman and let her know that life can not stop just because we get our dot and the world seems to be falling apart, just be gentle that is a hard age, and beleive me just you being there for her is gonna make things so much better, god bless
