Get a very sturdy backpack for all your books. Bring LOTS of extra pencils and paper. In junior high, everyone always asks to borrow things, so you can make a lot of friends this way 😉

Do your homework with your friends in a group to make it more fun. If you are worried that you won’t get it done, try to go to the library with your parents so you will do some work there instead.

Make sure you do something fun every day so you don’t get stressed out. If you like sports, reading, drawing, playing an instrument, etc., try to do at least 15-30 minutes of this every day. No matter what anyone says, you need a break sometimes!

Try to sleep enough! It’s really hard for everyone, but try to get at least 7-8 hours a night. People who are tired a lot will not be as happy!

That’s awesome I bet you’ll have a good time and make lots of memories..first off get yourself involved in a lot of school activities..ie..sports,clubs. That will keep you focused on academics as well as get you close to lots of good friends and you’ll be sure to have tons of fun the safe way…try not to hang around clicks and stuff just be you and you’ll attract people just like you..Have a blast this year. Hope that helps. I loved junior high and high school:)

#1. get a seat in the second or third row. second is best. that way the teacher actually sees you, but no one thinks you’re a suck-up.

#2. get invovled. join or club or a sport, something you love. that way you’ll meet people that have common interests.

#3. be confident. practice smiling, normally. think of something funny as you walk down the hall, but only funny enuf to put a smile on your face ( u dont want to be laughing byurself, people will think ur crazy)

#4. wear clothes that you feel good in, and its a bonus if no one else will have it. i always re-vamp tee-shirts and jeans so that no one in the entire world has one like mine. put together something cute that makes you feel hott.

#5. be THAT GIRL, that isn’t afraid to talk to the boys. if you see a guy you think is cute, chat with him like you would a friend.

#6. remember, no matter what people say, they are just as nervous as you are.

smile, and goodluck. i’m going into my junior year of college, so i’ve already been thru jr high, high school, and most of college. these tips are tried and true-they work amazing!

*make tons of friends

* sit with different ppl at lunch

* don’t gossip (hard i know)

* don’t get a bf too fast

* put education as your top priority

* do sports or a club

* try out band or chorus

* smile tons!

* have fun!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck 🙂

Oh, I know…how about this: (1) keep your eye on the prize and really hammer the academics. Good grades in JH will help you in HS, college and ultimately life. (2) Be true to yourself. Like Star Trek? Screw everyone, be a trekkie. Like blues music? Get a guitar and have at it. When you’re out of school, you’ll look back at the kids who did their own thing with admiration, respect and a tinge of envy. (3) Join a team – sports, band, whatever. It’s fun, you’ll really connect with other kids, and you’ll either get stronger or better at something. Bonus points for learning how to dance.
