Are you nervous about middle school because you are anti-social, weirdo with little to no social life? Congratulations! This guide (should) be able to get you to just barely survive through the terror filled jungle that is Junior High! I’m kidding, really. Junior High is really as fun as you make it. It seems like a looming, scary behemoth coming to eat you and whatever dignity you own, but it isn’t. The assignments aren’t out to haunt you, the people can but probably won’t scare you, and the teachers “force” you to do this and that all the time, but it shouldn’t be that way. However, looking through that perspective, the perspective of cracked glass, will cause you to be ignored and put down even further, and that will just make you even

But in addition to that, surviving Junior High requires that you know things like: your study skills, social kindness and awareness, and a bit of my personal advice.
Study skills and academia in general should be put above most everything in school. I bet you are asking me, “But wait! I have friends and I’m good at sports and gaming and I could use either of those things to become as successful as (insert celebrity here)! I don’t need school!” Well guess what? You do. A lot. The reason people become celebrities is either by gift, chance, or looks. (And trust me, it’s mostly chance and looks.) However, even if you are gifted or something, you can’t guarantee your life will continue on a good course like that. You need a foundation to fall back on in case it doesn’t work out. You can’t buy equipment to do (insert talent here) if you don’t get money from a job first. That is why you need skills like organization, time management, …show more content…
I know this essay is already full of personal advice, but this is just the most general portion of it. This is the most applicable to anything and everything. Yes, that means you should remember or write this down for your future self to look back on and say, “Thanks!” (or “Man, I was really dumb back then,” either one)(No I’m not calling you dumb! I’m just warning you.) Don’t think too hard. You’ll be setting yourself up for failure and unnecessary complication. That’s how people trip on the staircase to aristocracy. Too much work, not enough family time. Don’t take criticism too hard. Most of it is just useless words neurally-challenged people (no offense to the actually neurally-challenged) use to make you feel bad. However, when it is from real people, pay attention to it. Study their words. Look at the changes they suggest. Listen to their revisions. This is how people improve, and that’s good. Man was made to learn from its failures, ironically. Distribute yourself evenly. Don’t go doing a ton of activities on top of school if it starts to affect your lifestyle and/ or one of those activities. That being said, you should get involved in your school and community. Do service projects. Go to soup kitchens. Do sports. Do all the things! Well, all the good ones anyways. I think that about wraps it
