Question

and am soo freaked out. I don't want to go what of i don't get a date for the first dance??? What if the guy i like doesn't like me?? What can i do!!!

Answer 1

Well, the good news is in most areas of the country, and yours is probably not an exception, there isn't a lot of "dating" at a middle school dance. In other words, you and your girlfriends all go to the dance, and the boys go to the dance, and you all hang out (and some people get brave an actually dance). "Group dating" is pretty popular for many years, largely because most parents don't like the idea of their kids dating for a while. After a while, you might find yourself "going out" with some boy, but since you'll probably go out with him AND all his friends while he goes out with you and your girlfriends, it won't really seem as scary as it sounds right now.

So, don't worry so much about having a particular boy to like you yet. Most girls get used to the "group dating" system, and it's great when you don't have a boyfriend yet or even when you do have a special guy. Maybe you'll get lucky and be "going out" with someone by the first dance, but if you don't, don't worry...few girls will go with "dates" to the dances, either.

Finally, keep in mind that boys your age are immature (it doesn't get a lot better when we get older). You will probably spend most of your time being irritated because the guy you have your eye on doesn't notice you, and at the beginning of middle school, many boys simply aren't READY to date girls since they think of them as either friends or boring or silly. You and your girlfriends will spend a lot of time trying to convince them to go out with certain girls (your friends will play a big role in helping you date your special someone, and HIS friends will do the same). This is another reason not to worry: the boys you're interested in might not be ready to date yet (or they seem to be "going out" with girls just because their friends said they should).

So, try not to worry too much. You might find a special boy to hang out with at the dance, but if you don't, you certainly won't be alone. Dating becomes more "specific" and "special" in high school and college, anyway, so concentrate on having fun!

Answer 2

Well...I can tell what is important in your education. Stop worrying about guys and begin to worry about how you will do in school.

Because college is competitive and expensive, our state university 4 credits costs $749.00 and will increase by 7% for the year 2007.

By the time you are ready for college, costs will be in 6 years from now about $1,250. at current rates for 4 credits, and you need 190 of them to graduate with a B.A. degree.

Let nature take its course...remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but education is something that nobody can take away from you.

I would suggest taking your foreign language asap. Then taking all the math you possibly can take. Get your science credits out of the way, along with your english requirements too.

Guys should be the least of your worries...how will you support yourself in the future, and how will you get the education you need to fulfill your dreams is more important.

You better not think you are too young to think about getting higher education, because other kids your age have parents that are positioning their children to have a seat in the college classroom by now.

Answer 3

Are you stupid?
None of that matters in middle school. Trust me, now I'm going into high school.
If no guy likes you, your in the 6th grade right? You'll have time.
If you can't get a date for the dance, go with your friends.
And why waste your time with worrying about what you should be worrying about in high school insteadof having fun and enjoying this time in your life?

Answer 4

Don't worry, I'm going to 6th grade, in my school, theres 3 dances so you could get a date next time!!!
when i started middle school, i was scaried of never getting my locker open, it was too easy, and i scaried if geting lost, my school made it so you in a group! so don't be scaried, i know everyone is scraied of being a 1st year at middle school, it's too easy!!!! well, Good Luck

Answer 5

Gosh, middle school is so tricky. It was the most trying time for both my son and my daughter. It's hard to tell you that these things reallt won't matter to you in a few years. Here's what I tell my kids. You know how much best friends matter at your age. Secretely, to yourself, pretend that you are your own BFF. Tell that girl all the great things you'd tell your BFF. Give her your support all the time, always be there for her. Remind her of her qualities and to stick up for herself, to retain her dignity, to pursue goals that will help her future. Be your BFF, you deserve it.

in middle school you dont needs date or worry about boys all you need to worry about your grades in the 6th grade cause they can easly fail you
