Seventh Grade Know HOW?

Question

What should I know, next year is seventh grade and I am in all advanced classes and crap, but I am not sure I know about staying away from preps, what to wear, and comebacks. I have my whole group of friends, but need to mature more from next year. Any suggestions, especially about the popular people?

Answer 1

okay. as far as "popular people" go... do not worry about them. they are just like you, but lucky enought to know how to fake it... or should we say, UNlucky enough.

be yourself.. if theres one thing i could say over and over, it is BE YOURSELF. dont try to impress anyone. not even popular people. if you do, youll either look desperate, or you will do it so well that you get friends, but they wont be people who like you for who you are, they like you for the you that tries to impress them all the time and youll be so unhappy trying to keep up all the time.

just stay true to yourself and dont fall under peer pressure, where "everyone else is doing it" and so you have to. thats not true. i did not touch one cigarette or drug all through high school, and literally, EVERYONE else was doing it. i didnt have many friends, but do you know what? the ones i did have, were true friends, we are still friends today, and we are the ones who have the best lives now, because we are happy. we didnt destroy our bodies and lives with addictions and bad habits, so now we are free to live good lives, while the others are all trying to stop there habits, and find real friends.

just go to school, focused on your studies, on your work, you will be so smart and will be able to do anything when u finish school! and there will be other students that will be wanting to do the same thing, not always alot of them, but you will know who they are and u can be friends with them, with people who have the same ideas and goals for school and for themselves.

if people tease you, dont listen to them. do you know why they do it? coz they get jealous. either your prettier, smarter, or nicer. you have something about you that they dont have, and they want it, so they tease you and pretend that YOU are the one that sux. dont be fooled. just ignore them and stick to your close friends when you make them. also, they tease coz it makes them feel more important. its there way of impressing other kids, and its a nasty way, but its what they do. just forget about it. hopefully you wont be teased or unpopular. just remember if you are one of the "popular" people, not to tease others yourself. and to set a special standard in your group to not say yes to bad stuff like drugs.

what helped my little sisters, is that they joined a youth group, they met heaps of kids there age, some went to there school and they realised they had lots in common, other kids werent from there school, but it was cool coz it meant they had friends outside of school to look forward to seeing in the holidays and at youth group. your local church will have a youth group.
good luck! i will pray for your first week at school, that always helps! :-)

Answer 2

popular people aren't always bad so you could try being friends with them and if that doesn't work just try to avoid them and hang out with your friends and really you can think of comebacks in your head without needing any help they may be stupid but hey at least you had one and for what to wear be comfortable but yet misterious thats what I do and I have plenty of friends and am not the most hated person in the world and I am now going into eighth grade so I no this sort of stuff really well and it goes really fast so don't worry about it to much just try and have some fun it will all work out in the end. but if you get asked to smoke or drink just be your self and say no because now is the times when everyone will ask you what you want and it will be up toyou tomake that desision not up to your mom and dad or your friends and if you say no and your friends make fun of you then realize that they are not really your friends if they do make fun of you because even though I don't no you I have faith in you to do the right thing and hope you do and good luck but don't worry about school have fun this summer and enjoy your self.

Answer 3

Ok guess what? 7th grades really easy. I just finished 8th grade so i should know because Im going to high school. Stay away from preps because they are the biggest dorks. Always make sure you have good come-backs and wear cool clothes. Dont wear some sh*t your mom picked out. But itll be easy and just take it easy thats how you stay popular. Dont worry about it.

Answer 4

Oh, 7th grade.
You'll either be in, or you'll be out.
If you're in, you're probably only fooling yourself.
I did this, and had no real friends, and caused myself a lot more drama and tears than I had ever wanted.
If popularity is what you're searching for, you won't find it in 7th grade.
Try and stick with your same friends from previous years.
Even though this year was horrible for me, I met my best friend that year.
You should learn this now, before 7th grade, before 8th grade, before the rest of your life
STOP STEREOTYPING.
It's going to kill you.
It might keep you from meeting the person of your dreams, your best friend, or keep you from your dreams or an amazing oppourtunity.
So this is all you'll need to know.

"Be yourself and you will find, who minds doesn't matter, and who matters won't mind."

Write that down everywhere you can, memorize it, live by it, JUST BE YOURSELF.

Oh, and don't do drugs.

Answer 5

sweetheart, i been there. I am going to be a junior(11 grader) the upcoming school year. I was never one of the "popular kids". I was never a geek or loser, just your average teen. If people ever new me, they new me because I am known for helping people(giving advise), or for my academic achievements. so my advise to you is to ignore the popular kids. Don't worry if your not in the "in crowd". Being popular isn't important, school is. Be like a sponge, absorb as much information from your teachers that you can. As for boys, there will always be a cute,popular boy that you wish had his eye on you. but don't worry about it, because majority of the time popular kids don't make it to college, or pass high school. they focus so much on fitting in with their friends. and besides, the same people that kids try to impress, years to come, those same people that you will try to impress won't even remember your existence. so just be you. learn. get your education, be the best that you can be. and you may end up like me, known around your school for being nice to people and for being smart. and you should dress up the way you feel comfortable. pick out your own clothing. (stay away from the clothes your mother pick out, or an outfit your grandmother purchased). lol

Answer 6

Okay, I was in your shoes many years ago. What I did was: 1. Kept my mouth shut. 2. You will find friends, but dint go acting like something your not to get them.3 Popular people are not popular without $$, so just let them gloat, your day to shine will come.4. Keep to your studies, socialism is AFTER your done with your home- work. 5. With all of your school supplies/notes/clothing etc. always remember KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid! Good Luck!

Answer 7

Okay, if you DON'T want advice from a unpopular person then DON'T read this.........


My advice is........
Get into Drama
Join NJHS
Get some guy friends ( not boy friends)
and relax comebacks are overrated and just ignore the populars They are all jealous of how pretty you are ;)
P.S. I'm in eighth grade now

Answer 8

uh. i'm going in2 7th grade 2. all u have to do is wear stylish clothes be nice, and use comebacks tht are on the show yo momma. Preps arnt tht bad, just avoid them and dont stay near them, if they say something tell them, "Well atleast I didn't get my clothes from...(nerdiest person @ school)'s closet!" they will get SO annoyed. It is just so hilarious! omg! do u go 2 Creekland! i can tell u evry thing i no if u do. just email me. [e-mail]

Answer 9

You gotta be yourself. People will respect you if you are comfortable in your own skin and don't need any of the material things, like clothes or make-up. Don't be influenced by materialistic people who say the most immature things, like, "Oh my gosh, i thought "Harriet's" shirt was sooooo ugly until i found out it was from " ". " Balance your academic and social life. Make friends with wholesome people. Volunteer.
