Persuasive Essay About Middle School

Decent Essays
Middle school is a place where kids finally start to show who they’re going to be for a long time. It isn’t a place to be popular and look pretty. The most important advice for middle schoolers is to be yourself and not let people around you influence your ideas. Mostly everyone comes into middle school thinking how they’re going to get popular or how they’re going to get more friends, but in reality, everyone who has that mindset is a follower and has no self-direction. You’ll never be great in life if you keep following every corporeality everyone does. Having a lesser group of friends that are more compassionate and care about you will always pay off more in the long run. As well as with popularity, middle school is where you can choose

    As we get older our opinions no longer mimic the voice of parents and elders around us; Our own beliefs form based on interactions with each individual who enters our life.
