Any advice for a new 7th grader?

im just going into the 7th grade. my elementary went up to 6th, so i never went to middle school, and its very different then elementary! any advice to get me through the year with boys, teachers, and friends?Any advice for a new 7th grader?
BOYS:


Be yourself, which sounds stupid, but when the boys actually mature, they'll realize that you were totally worth the wait. And if they're being stupid, tell them, e.g., ';Wow-- that was a really intelligent thing to say. sic. You're being an idiot.';





TEACHERS:


Ask them questions, but not in class if it makes you uncomfortable. Go before class, or during lunch, and they'll be happy to answer your questions. If they don't seem too keen on answering your questions, then ask another teacher if something's bothering you, or another teacher in the same subject (e.g. the 8th grade science teacher for a science question.)





FRIENDS:


In terms of making friends, start with a compliment (';That's an awesome bracelet; I wish I had one like it!'; or ';You're really good in math. Are you interested in math, or are you just super smart?';) Be yourself, and once you have friends, speak up if something's bothering you. Nothing can be gained by staying quiet, except maybe a few more weeks of awkwardness.





And just in case:


HOMEWORK:


Do it right after school. No, really. I'm not kidding. That way, you can have the evening for IM, MySpace, or whatever. And your parents won't bug you. Win-win.





Best of luck.Any advice for a new 7th grader?
don't worry about boys first of all. teachers aren't out to get you. and don't forget what class you have when... you'll have multiple classes (i don't know if you're already familiar with that). don't worry about p.e. everyone feels awkward.
DONT WORRY ABOUT IT :]


it'll be so fun


7th grade is a bunch of FUNN


you'll enjoy it.


if you stink then you'll hate it


so. take a shower everydayy.

hey, have you got ur scedule yet? when i was in 7th, NONE of my friends were in my classes and i was upset because everyone said ';dont worry, you will make new friends!'; but i didnt WANT to make new friends : P so i really focused on my work and everything was fine. i saw all of my friends in the hall and stuff so it was cool. boys? oh gosh, they live to irritate girls with the pick-up lines and all that crud. if some wierdo comes up to you and is being a jerk, tell him OFF! ... or you could walk away...anyway, you will get alot of home work, but it will be fine. good luck!!
first of lets start with the teacher u always want to be a nice,friendly,person i mean like talk to your teachers ask them how they are tell them jokes because i remember that when i first started school i was the quite type didnt talk much but then one day i decided to stop this i wanted to be more friendly to people and talk more so one day i found my passion and it was to sing so i got uo in frount of my class and sang jingle bells because it was chrismas time evryone liked it i also started tellig jokes but most of all i did not let it go to my head remember this i knew a kid named gene and this kid let me tell u was not popular and alot of people hated him so one day i went up to him and said hi he said hi back but he was not to friendly because lots of people jus talked to make fun of him so i talk to him for i while and i finaly said u wana be friends he said yes and he was happy. so when my friends found out i was his friend they ask me why are u his friend he is anoying i said i am his friend because he is a nice guy u dont have to be friends with him but i am and then theyjus said o well and they still are my friends. secound is that effort i am sure u heard this before for every action there is a reaction so in school is u decide that u dont want to study or waork hard the reaction to that will be probably u will fail or pass but barely.
Boys, well it depends on who you are, don't act the way they want, just be yourself. If they like you, then thats great but if they don't, don't worry about it. If they don't like you for who you are they're not worth it. Any way Jr. High is only two yrs anyway. Teachers well stay on their good side and do the homework. So what if people think your a nerd, hey your not the one wasting all your afterschool time in detention. Friends thats easy, make friends who wont pick on you, if your friends aren't really friends there are bound to be other people to hang out with. Once again just be yourself and see what happens. Jr. High isn't all that much different than 6th grade, its just bigger
hi! my name is danny and i was a seventh grader last year and I was very nervous. My advice is try to stay calm and relaxed even though you may be a little scared. Try not to make eye contact with all the bad people in your school. Also, try to make some new friends and start your own little group. Teachers are just as nervous as you are, they barely know you, try to know your teachers, even the mean ones, they really aren't that mean once you get to know them. Truth is, mean teachers only act mean cause either their nervous or just hiding their feelings. Try to not get so much distracted by boys because once you get so attracted to a boy, you'll ignore your homework and ditch your friends. try not to make boys your most important thing in your life. GOOD LUCK!!
Okay, I'm in 8th grade now, but last year was insane.





First of which. BE VERY CAREFUL who you are friends with. They could easily stab you right in the back and it hurts alot when that happens.





Seond, you're probably going to be influenced to do some really stupid things like drugs or piercings or sex. Take it from me, don't let anyone influence you like that. It may seem cool at first because that's what everyone else is doing but then you realize their life isn't going too well because of their habits so then it's only going to be self explainable of how your life could be corrupted.





Third. The homework will piss you off. What I did was do one homework, take a 15 minute break. Eat, drink, watch tv. Do anything. Then do the next homework and repeat the process.





Fourth. The teachers may piss you off. Of course, I wanted to bash my principal's head in. No matter how much you want to hurt them, hold in that urge.





Fifth. If any girl has a problem with you, don't tell a guidance counselor YET. There is a time when you might need that girls help. So try to ask her why there is a problem. Let her explain. If she continues to bother you, try to ignore her, and if it gets serious or if i continues for more than a month, tell the guidance counselor.





Sixth. You might have days where you don't want to go to school. But then if you don't, you miss really fun things.





Good luck for your first year of JHS.





%26amp; btw. Freshman Friday; is a MYTH.
Well I just finished 7th. First off, dont worry about the boys. They ARE hormonal, and they WILL approach you. At this point really, I'm pretty disgusted by preteen boys. Dont be a girl that has a new immature boyfriend ever other week. That will give you a bad reputation for sure. Wait until high school to get a boyfriend. I'm serious, PERSONAL EXPERIANCE: MIDDLE SCHOOL BOYS ARE INEXPERIANCED AND AWKWARD! A relationship demands a certain level of maturity. And girls are proven to mature fasture than guys in their preteen years.





Teachers are different in middle school; known fact. You have to get used to it. The teachers are not buddy-buddy with you. They have hundreds of students in one day, and are not going to remember your name in 5 years. Unless you stand out, you wont get anywhere with teachers. Friends? JHS is a time to SEE your friends, not make them. People change in Junior High School. They really do. You lose alot of friends, believe me. But you make alot of new ones too.





Relax. Dont stress. When you do, you make an idiot of yourself. ;D Good luck.
As far as boys, just ignore them. You're too young to worry about getting/having a boyfriend. If you have some for friends, that's fine, but I wouldn't worry about taking it any further yet. Teachers will be mostly the same. You'll find some good ones and bad ones, nice ones and mean ones, you'll just have to learn to deal. Do your best in class and stay out of trouble and you should do fine.
be yourself and TRY to be confident. I know how hard that can be. As for boys there are some great flirting tips and tips on boys etc. at links2love.com


Teachers, give them a bright smile and say, ';Hello!';


They'll love you.
well look at me im 12 and im going to 8th grade so just dont care about if u want a boy get him or u can just talk to him as close friends and u can say no i dont wanna talk to boys my advice dont have a bf just have a boy as a friend he can be a special friend thats my advice cause look at me now i dont know alot of friends and i know only 2 girls in my life im a boy and teachers just be the best of the girls no way a boy can beat a girl no way girl trust me i know what am i saying and i mean it
just be ready for tons of homework be super nice 2 ur teachers ,let boyz come 2 u and u will get wat u want and finally friends let them come to u 2
have fun. i went 1-5 then 6-8 but middle school was awesome class compared to elementary. i had one teacher who loved me cause im VFX artist which lead to me knowing a lot about computer, so was tech leader of year book. made agendas, flyers, GFX commertials UIL videos and so on. i became know as the school IT kid. made tons of friends. made some of my best movies ever using the resource i made. basically, use you resources and don't wait, know you can make something big if want to. youll love it..... o yeah, never lose a friends over a guy. i almost did (girl in my case) and the worst thing i ever did.
don't worry about boys!!!! study hard, and don't get on the teacher's bad sides. you'll be fine. friends will be easy to find, just don't get mixed up in the drama of boys!...did i mention to stay away from the boys? there will be plenty of time when your older.
be yourself and belive in yourself and you can accomplish anything
haha dont worry 7th grade isn't very serious!! lets see part 1 boys- just be yourself and your going to find someone you like that likes you, 2 teachers-DONT LISTEN TO ANY ADVICE ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL FROM TEACHERS!!, they always over react and prepare you for things you really wont need to know in high school but you should still pay attention... alot of attention, and part3 friends- dont be shy and be yourself people will like you!! o and btw good luck in middle school
it really is a lot easier than you think.





friends: all you have to do is be your self, and be nice to others. don't get into trouble by blabbing your mouth about things they don't need to know. example: ';do you like her?'; you- ';i think she is ok';, don't show real feeling. don't be nosy, and know more than you need to know about your classmates.





teachers: be nice to your teachers, don't cut up, and don't encourage anybody to cut up. do all your work when he/she asks, and make sure its on time. your teachers will live you!





boys: be yourself most importantly, you don't want to get mixed up in a lie, they are hard to get out of. be nice!!! flirting isn't all about hurting a guy, just go with the flow, and try to be cool.





Best of luck to you!!!!





*Alma*
well, truthfully, its hard to give advice for middle school. i learned to just be friends with the guys and teachers....you just have to deal with them. but that's a really wide spread topic, i cant really give advice on that one.

boys don't sweat over them if one likes you cool but don't let them keep your grades down teachers first of all follow derictions in pe i was messing around and had to do 75 push ups lunch gets a little better and friends the same with boys
