You are scared because this is a big change: you aren’t sure what to expect there and you aren’t sure what will be expected of you. It is very normal to be a little scared.

Try to keep this in mind: everyone who is starting middle school this year feels the same way you do, even if they don’t show it or admit it. You are all going to meet a bunch of new people, and friendships are going to shift and be tested. You will make new friends and see some changes in some of the old friendships.

Maybe you are also a little afraid that the work will be harder: it will, but most teachers really want to help you learn. If you see that you aren’t catching on in a subject, go to your teacher to get help. Don’t wait until you are so far behind that you feel panicky.

Before you start out the first day, take a moment by yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror and say (out loud): “Okay. Here you go. You are going to start on a new adventure today. Some things will be scary and some will be fun — but it is all part of growing up — and that’s what you’re doing: Growing up! YA–HOOOOOO!”

Go get ’em, Kiddo! Do great things!

Your nervous about change and the unknown.

My son also is entering Middle school. I have already been warned. He is a normal boy ,plays baseball and football,but has to be driven to school on opening day every year and throws up in the street on the way to the first day of school. This year with a new school,it should be extra special. He is fine on day two and for the rest of the year. Your just normal in your own way

Being in middle school is like a stepping stone to being a full pledged teenager. In most school districts, middle school campuses are separate from the elementary as well as high school campuses. There’s new rules, new expectations, new teachers, even new schoolmates. In middle schools, the class schedules are almost similar to high school in which you go from one classroom to another during the day when you go from one class to the next. This means you may not have the same kids in any of your classes.Middle school usually means more freedom, more independence but more RESPONSIBILITIES. Yes, you may feel nervous, maybe anxious, but with the help of your parents and teachers, as well as being able to choose the right kind of friends to hang out with, middle school can be one of the best years of your life! Good luck….

Ok first off all those stories you have heard have been greatly exaggerated and hold no truth whatsoever. The coolest thing about middle school is that you start meeting people who like what you do and that’s where some of your best friends will come from. The drama and bullying take a back seat to all the fun you’re going to have.

Starting something new always causes nervousness! It’s totally normal. Try to harness those butterflies in your stomach. I bet you just about everyone has them!

It’s going to be okay!

I was nervous going into 7th grade…9th grade…college…my first teaching job…now I’m having a baby in a few months…butterflies…butterflies!

Do you have an older brother or sister? Auntie or Mum you can talk to? Ask them about times when they were nervous.

It’s natural to fear the unknown. It’ll be okay. One foot in front of the other! I like to take really long, slow deep breaths. In through your nose for 10, out through your mouth for 10. *hugs*

You should be sweety. With becoming a woman comes a lot of responsibility and also more predators as you venture off on your own. That is something you (I hope will learn to master) Fears of not being good enough is not an option. As long as … nope… I won’t even go there girl….. It is simply not an option. lol

hey i was nervous when i started middle school 2 but after the first couple of days i got over it and your friends will help ALOT!!! it’s DEFINATELY not as bad as you think it is i had sooo much fun in middle school and i hope you will too!!! 🙂

Don’t be scared. I will admit, people in middle school can be mean… but that isn’t for you to worry about. Be yourself. It will only bother you as much as you let it!
