1] Sadly, some 8th graders will be annoying the first few weeks of school. But it’s not like how you see on TV with 8th grades shoving 6th graders into trash cans or anything. It’s more like, “Aw……how cute! 6th graders!” “eWW! 6th Grader!” “I remember when i was in 6th grade, i hated it…” It’s just something we do cuz it was how we were treated in 6th, but it’s nothing to worry about. Just annoying. Like a rock in your shoe annoying.

2]Sit with people you feel comfortable with. If you don’t like crowds, stick to a smaller group. Things like that. Make a friend in the beginning of school, and you can sit with them. Just pick a place, ask politely if you can sit down, and talk to them. Thats how you can make friends too. :] I know a lot of people are like, “Oh, those tables are for losers…” But you should be able to sit whereever you please.

3]Most schools have a map available on their website or in the office. Just grab one and keep it with you on the first day. Better yet, get one before school and visualize how to get to each class in your head using the map. After a week, it’s really easy to keep track of where to go next.

4]No……there’s always stupid rumors of stuff like that. At our school, it was the rumor about guys pulling bra straps and girls stealing stuff from your gym locker. Never happens. There is the occasional jerk how does stuff like that, but it’s not anything to worry about.

Please believe me when I say this. ‘Developed’ 6th graders are often liked alot. (Or at least in my school) and pretty much everyone worrys about 6th grade social life, and by the end pretty much everyone says, “Wow…that wasn’t hard at all…”

Don’t be nervous. No, the eighth graders are not mean. There might be some but there are mean people in every grade. At lunch they usually have assigned seating. If not, just try to find people you know to sit by, or find somebody that is in one of you classes to sit with so that you can start a new friendship. At my school they had an orientation for 6th graders a few days before school started. We got to meet our homeroom teacher and they showed us around the school and where our classes were. If your school doesn’t do something like this just look around. Usually all the classrooms for each subjects are grouped together. You can always ask someone if you get lost. No, people do not pull off your book bag. Thats just something kids say to scare each other. It’s really not a big deal once you get there. You will be fine. If you don’t have any friends in your classes, make new ones. This way your social life could grow. Good luck and don’t be nervous!!

Hay I’ve been in high school a few years so I’ve been there and done that years ago. The 8th graders are not mean, they may make fun of 6th graders at a group but not individuals. I was never made fun of as a 6th grader and once we were 8th graders we just made fun of the grade itself not individuals. At lunch just sit with your friends from last year, nobody sits in the same area of the cafeteria year after year. Don’t worry about sitting in someone else’s seat. Most schools have orientation where you get your schedule and can go around find your classrooms and try out your locker to make sure that it works. If your school doesn’t offer that just ask a teacher they are all very nice and helpful on the first day. I have never heard of/seen people pulling off other people’s backpacks. If you don’t know anyone in your classes don’t worry, that just gives you the chance to make new friends! Good Luck, you’ll do fine!

When I went into 6th grade I was changing schools from a private school to a middle school. It was a in another state so I didn’t know anyone. It all depends on who the 8th grade class is. Normally, yes the 8th graders will pick on you sometimes but just ignore it and its nothing to worry about. You know they are probably just jealous. I was exactly like you 5’7, brests and I had never been to a school like this before. I did have some troubles but all I did when people said things about me was “I am glad you think that way about me.” Don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself.

No I never got my backpack pulled off and I have never seen anyones be pulled off.

You sit next to your friends. All you have to do is be friendly with those who sit by you in class or have a locker next to yours, those on your bus and anyone you make an encounter with.

Finding your classroom is easy just look at the room number and look at the doors they are usually on or above or even around the door. Or ask. If you don’t feel comfortable asking another student ask a teacher. Thats what I did and thats what even some 8th graders did (of course I couldn’t answer that but I learned to be able to it only took a day or two.)

Good Luck at your school. Make lots of new friends and have fun.

They’ve all been fun, with mostly good things and just a few bad things about each one. But I think I’d still say elementary and middle school were better, just because they were more stress-free. High school has been fun, but there is just a little more stress involved because your grades start to really count and you really have to make sure you do well in your classes. You have to start thinking about your future and college and whatnot, and it can be overwhelming. Elementary and middle school were a little more carefree. I can’t pick between elementary and middle though, because they were both so much fun for me! I guess I could say elementary since it was the easiest and I had the least amount of homework, haha. And since pretty much everyone was friends and there weren’t a bunch of cliques and stuff. You could just go up to anyone at recess and play, and the wouldn’t judge you. Even though that kind of stuff gets pretty common in middle school (cliques, people being judgmental, etc.), I managed to escape that since I just stayed with my friends and didn’t try to hang around the “popular” crowd. I’ve heard that a lot of people had a horrible time in middle school, but I actually had a lot of fun. I just had really awesome friends, and I loved most of my teachers in middle school too, so that was also what made it good. I’ve had a lot of good school years, and I can’t possibly pick one, so I’ll just pick one from each school. 4th grade was my best year of elementary school, 7th grade was by far the best middle school year, and so far, I think my senior year has been my best high school year (I’m a senior right now). Junior year was pretty good too though.

Oh, my gosh, girl. i’ve been right where you are!!! I kow how you feel!

The eighth graders are intimidating, but most are not mean, it’s just scary to you because it’s your first year. By 7th grade, you’ll be fine.

BE ADVENTUROUS!!! If you can’t find any friends that you know, sit at someone elses table, and start talking. You’re sure to have a great time and make a new friend! You cna do it!!!

It’s kind of hard to find your classes, but maybe before the first day, you can go to your school and look around, so you know where your classes are before the first day. You might even be able to spot some of your teachers, and get to know them better.

No, people will not pull off your backpack. it’s just a rumor! You will do fine, i KNOW you will!!!

There will be lots of people who feel the same as you. No matter how weird you feel about being “developed” you’ll be fine! I promise! Just stand up for yourself and don’t let anyone bring you down!!!

I truly wish you good luck and hope you have a wonderful year!!!!!

I know, going to a new school with all new people and experiences can be a little stressfull and make you worry a lot. Most of the time it’s not as bad as you think it will be, yes 8th graders might make fun of you but a 7th or 6th might also. Kids are cruel there’s no telling what they’ll pick on you for. At lunch they might have seating arrangments or just look for where your friends are and sit with them. Classrooms are easy to find just follow the numbers like an adress and most hall monitors or teachers will be happy to help you. And no you probably won’t get “canned” or have your stuff stolen constantly. Once you get used to it you’ll realize it’s really not as bad as you think it will be.

i’m in 7thgrade i remember my first day in middle school i was so nervous. youll make tons of friends as long as your nice to everyone help them out and focus. the 8the graders arent mean trust me most of them wont bother you at all. theyre actually pretty nice. they dont usually spend time trying to annoy younger kids. classes are simple on your first day your teacher will show you around and you will have a slight idea where your classes are. If your late dont worry about it its your first day adn tweachers will ubnderstand. If that doesnt make you feel comfortable u might wanna make a friend with a couple of your classes or ask a teacher where your next class is. PEople never pull of your backpack its a just a joke friends do and im sure youll do to friends or movie and tv bullys do. You will make friends no big deal. Your development shouldnt have a probalem dont try to hard. be yourself it can be kinda hard but its just a like another year as a 5th grader trust me if you take my advice evrything will go fine. GOOD LUCK 😀

If you dress well, with style and not showing too much, people will probably just be attracted to you. Just mind your own business, don’t get in the way of the other kids, and no one should bother you. However, you may get responses to your physical figure. Just ignore them and whatever you do, don’t let them know it bothers you (if it does, which it shouldn’t). 8th graders don’t tend to be mean, just oblivious to younger kids unless they “get in their way”. As for lunch, that’s always a problem. Try to see if you can spot any familiar faces. Or feel free to sit a few chairs away at a table full of people. You won’t look to alone since others will be there and theres a chance they will ask you to come closer. As for the bookbag, theres always a chance of bullies but I myself have never encountered them.

some eight graders can be jerks you’ll sit where ever you want or you’ll have signed sits they’ll give you a map of your school when you go sign up or go to open house they wont pull your backpack off,

they wont call you a whore some of them might actually like you I went threw the same thing I was nervous because what happens If my friends are not in my class well some of them were and some weren’t you’ll get used to not having them around you just got to make friends that are in your classes I took about a week or two weeks too get around all my classes and the school because it was three stories if your school is only one story then that would be easy good luck
