[SIZE=7pt]^ Hey, not all eight graders are like that. I'm graduating grade 8, I should know.
[/SIZE]
(But still watch out. Some kids are a little mean. Sadly.)
The teachers, in my opinion, aren't
all going to be "nutcases."
It's kind of like a miniature version of High School.
Yes I'm scared. I'm still in an elementary school. JK-Grade 8.
And since I
am going to High School in September, I can tell you that the teachers I have met at my future school are very nice and understanding. Bet you've got to be prepared for the first day, seriously. It may only be the first day, but you have to give your teachers a good impression, right? Make sure that you have all of your supplies, (pencils, notebooks, etc.) and keep a mini schedule in your bag, and look at where you need to go next between classes. It's normal to be scared. try to relax, because Middle School was never a "nightmare" for any of the people I know.
In fact, they all love it. When it comes to your peers, yeah, that's a toughie. There is some mean girls out there, and the best thing that you can do is be nice if they talk to you, and ignore them otherwise. You're there for school, not a dramafest. Locker combination? Try your best to remember it. Sit with your friends at lunch, but be open to making new friends too. Be yourself! Being cool isn't everything. Trust me, been there, done that.
Check this out. It's a whole page of tips.
I hope that your first day goes well.
I think that you'll do great.
So, don't stress about it. Especially this summer.
It's time to relax.
