Surviving middle school can be a scary and challenging place to learn at. The reason for it is all of the troublesome obstacles you will face, such as being picked on and pushed around, the physical, emotional and mental changes that will be occurring to and around you, the peer pressure you will endure for the next three years and the bad influences that will occur to you. Another difficulty you will face is the kids that will want to pressure you into smoking or skipping class, because it “cool” and we will try to do it is because we all want to have a place to belong in the social jungle that is middle school. But in

Another instance that I had to endure was the skipping; now I’m not saying isn’t skipping is wrong, it is but I used to do it to every now and then, it’s a habit that you don’t want to start, because you will miss your assignments and to many missed classes will result in you failing the failing the class. For instance I used to skip classes when I did I usually hid out in the parking lot and read a comic book or played Mario on my Gameboy, as a result I missed tons of work and I was absent a lot, which resulted in me failing the class and having to take it again. The evilest horror I had to endure was the kids who love to pick fights. Like for instance when you see a fight happening you think that it’s cool and you want to have a closer look, but it’s totally different when it’s on the other foot, like when I was about have a fight in the parking lot at lunch, as a result of the fight I was suspended for three days. So in my own opinion the bad influence that is in middle school should be left alone at all cost.
So in conclusion, the one thing to remember is that whatever choices you make while you’re in middle school and will follow you all the way to high school and beyond. The choice
The first year of middle school was a year of transition into a new world. I would be going to a new school and enhance my life academically and on a social level. Looking back at that year isn’t so pleasant. My new self today, sucked in numerous amounts of life lessons that contradict the person I was in sixth grade. Sixth grade was all about fitting in for me. I just wanted to be part of a crowd and be known. I didn’t care about my academics at the moment. However, I was lucky enough to be educationally talented and not get to astray in the learning environment. Personally, sixth grade was too overloaded with drama and the drive to be high in the social rankings. If I traveled back to sixth grade, I’d sucker punch myself for getting
When you transition from elementary school to middle school, you will notice there are many things that do not change between them. For example they both have time slots where you have a chance to eat breakfast before school begins. Another that you will find the same is that they both have places where you can put your backpacks where they are safe, and will not be stolen. Even though you you are in middle school you
From happy moments to sad moments, from having the best time to falling asleep in class. Middle school was also a place for change. As Robin Sharma once stated, “Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.” High school will definitely bring many changes in our lives. At first, everything may be difficult but, as each year goes by you will quickly realize that you are capable of handling it because, you know at the end of the day everything will be
Going from middle school to high school can be a big challenge in one's life. From

Middle school is known as a time to mature for high school. For me, there were many changes I underwent after coming to the middle school.
From my experience, surviving middle school takes a mixture of luck, naive fearlessness, and an aggressive number of colorful plastic binders. I started my first day of fifth grade a jumbled mess of nerves, anxious about making friends and doing well in class, and inexplicably dressed head-to-toe in red, white, and blue swag my mom got when the Summer Olympics were in Atlanta. I mean, my backpack matched my shoelaces, which matched my pants and my shirt. I might have even had a hat. A hat. A precisely matching hat. That I wore all day. Needless to say, I was not a particularly cool child. I studied hard, had a core group of equally nerdy friends, and constantly worried about whether I was doing the right thing or, perhaps more accurately, becoming the right thing. Was I not studying hard enough to get into college? Or maybe studying too hard, missing out on my youth? Would I grow into my teeth one day? Would my skin eventually stop looking like greasy peanut brittle?
Many students worry about how their middle school years will go. Middle school is a very important part of a student’s education. Middle school is their initiation into high school and could really impact their future. Many elementary school students think that they are prepared and can do well in middle school, but many are not ready. Also, students who do not do well in middle school tend to not do well in high school. One lesson I would like to teach elementary school students is how to survive middle school, which is important because it will lead them to a better future by being prepared, managing time, and knowing how to problem solve.
Many people endure three years of middle school and four years of high school. It is an eventful time for children between 11 to 18 years old. During the adolescent years there are hormonal changes, environmental changes and emotional developmental gains. Middle school is the beginning of transitioning towards independence under the constant eye of adults. During high school they are challenged with real-world challenges that help them transition into adulthood. The behaviors of these individuals change as the factors change around them. For every person, the experience of high school or middle school may be different. Either way, both have the same goal of wanting the student to succeed and evolve. Even so, the similarities and differences vary. Middle school and high school are alike in the areas of receiving an education, socializing with others, and having teachers while different in areas of maturity, difficulty in work, and independence.
Middle school was a rough time like it was for many because I still did not even know who I was yet. MIddle school was very difficult to adjust to at first because all my life I had only been in one class all day everyday with the same teacher and they made sure you always had a note to remind you of your homework for the night. Middle school was when I began to make my own choices and had to suffer the consequences that came with those choices. In middle school is when I found out how much I liked business because of a field trip my 6th grade year to Biztown which was a small fake “community” that everyone worked in and would be a citizen in the town.
To totally start things off, right when you walk through the doors of your middle school, you are struck with a burst of something you are not familiar with. This exotic feeling is total strictness. If you thought your parents were tough then you are going to be very surprised once you hear your new principal. Middle school is just scary. From kids who are yelling at you to the kids who are crying rivers in the bathroom stalls, middle school stinks.
It did not take very long for me to realize that middle school really wasn’t all that bad, there were many aspects that I actually liked more. For me, not wearing uniforms was a big deal, although it rarely strayed from jeans or khaki shorts, being able to wear what I wanted gave me a sense of freedom. On top of this, passing periods gave me the opportunity to roam the halls and talk
Many middle school students are looking forward to high school.Most are looking forward to graduate and get a scholarship,but others are waiting to make new friends and to meet new teachers.Unfortunately,most students don't want to have a good life and not graduate.Students are looking up for getting their driver's license and drive to school.High school is mostly about sports. Most students are looking up to play stuff like baseball,football,and soccer.Many students will have lots of stuff
Have you ever experienced the transition from high school to middle school? Many students that go from middle school to high school are worried about the big changes in the environments. Although there are many differences between middle school and high school, there are also many similarities.
Yet, the education does not stop at middle school, for high school really puts all the basic skills from elementary and middle school to work as the assignments and the exams become more challenging. We do not only learn about reading, writing, history, and math, we learn about the people around us as we associate with different personalities, and as we see what we have grown up to be and what we want to be later in life. Accordingly, the high school years are a time when teachers emphasize the importance of graduating and attending college in order to have a “succesful future.”
