Is Junior High Scary???

Question

i'm going into junior high and i'm really scurred

what am i gunna do?!!!

Answer 1

Damn straight.

Well, it is at first. After that, not so bad. I started in sixth and I'm one of those eigth graders who is like three feet taller than you are. Plus you sixxies look short now.

On my 1st day I got lost on the way to every single one of my classes so I'd ask an eigth grader and they would kind of look at me until I slunk away. On the 2nd day? I didn't get lost at all! Then in seventh- would have done it in sixth but my homeroom teacher made us carry like five different textbooks in the hall because she didn't want people coming in and out. Hello! It's a middle school! Anyway she was a sadistic witch- I established a routine. Get my stuff for history, go to history, go to science, breeze into homeroom and exchange books on the way, use this route not this one and so on and so forth. Now I carry practically nothing to class at all and then I look at sixxies who are carrying three different books plus binder and are bent double cause they can barely hold it all.

You might have to change in gym like I do. News flash- you look like an idiot if you run around and play tag and stuff in the locker room. (People do that. I swear. They like chase each other around and stuff in their bra and underwear. Duh! Retarded!) Just quickly change and go to the gym. Also try not to lose your clothes cause if you do you have to go look through the lost and found with all the smelly laundry. Ew.

If you have band- I don't- watch the director closely. At Switzerland Point Middle School, the band director took photos up girls' skirts. Then the police found a list of all the band students and the ones he photographed were checked off and that's who the police talked to and they called in my best friend, who doesn't even wear skirts unless there is a pair of jeans under them. That kinda rattled her. She really looked up to him and he was a girl-groping pervert. In my yearbook thats what I wrote around his picture.

Not that YOUR band directer will be a pervert but maybe you'll want to look out for that.

No bullying. Nobody gets stuffed into lockers or anything like that. SPMS is good about that stuff. (Oddly, they can stop bullying but not molestation. Hmmm. Don't I feel safe.) And the food is really good, actually. We have a hot food line with chicken and fries and mini corndogs and cheesesticks and curly fries and awesome pizza and MAN I'M HUNGRY. Most of my teachers have a good sense of humor. In fact, my english and my science teachers are really funny. Love to joke around. Very good classes.

Since you have a girl avatar, I suggest you bring pads or tampons or something. Some schools sell them in the bathrooms but it's better to bring your own from home. I had my period just b4 school began this year- lucky break- woke up, sat on the toilet, looked down and pretty much said all the swearwords I knew. But I got flowers afterward so that worked out OK.

School's not really that bad. Of course then there's high school so I have a panic attack scheduled for just before next school year starts.

It can be a little scary, although not too much. It can also be exciting. Its when you start to be treated more like a grown-up. Its also, however, more complicated than elementary school. Its when some of your old friends either grow up faster than you or don't grow up as fast. Its when a whole lot of the relative innocence of elementary school is gone. What's cool starts to matter more. Who's cool starts to matter more. Kids get divided into groups - the tougher kids, the cooler kids, the academic and/or "in-crowd" kind of kids.

Some kids get physically mature while others don't. Some kids are made fun of for it. The same kids may be envied for it. Boys like girls who look more grown up, even though they may have matured sooner than is really healthy. Kids who still look like little kids feel left out. There's a tendency for kids to want desperately to be grown up, but they're still very young, immature and far from grown up. (Wait until you get grown up and look back on how you thought when you were in junion high.)

It can also be great, though. You're too young to work, so you usually have time after school for after-school activities or friends. You can get some pretty challenging school work, and that can be kind of good if you were starting to feel a little unchallenged at the end of elementary school. There's lunch that's usually a nice time. There are dances and games and other things to do at school. Its a time to get ready for high school with, ideally, enough limitations on your freedom that you won't go too wild during this practice time.

Do you best in school. Make sure the friends you hang out with are friends who like constructive, healthy activities. Remember that the dealing isn't done yet when it comes to who is too thin, too fat, too tall, too short or too anything else. Make the most of what and who you are, and if you're not happy with it remember 1) that it will changeand 2) that most of the other kids feel as you do for their own reasons.

This is only my opinion (and the opinion of a few people I know), but I believe in ways being a junior high-schooler means this happens: You go in and its all new. You feel a little nervous. You start to figure out the new routine and all that. You worry about what you look like and who you like and who your friends are and all that stuff. After a while, it gets kind of boring and blah, but the first year is over. Summer breaks it up. You go back, its new again for a while, and then you get so all you can think about is getting to high school.

You'll get to a point in junior high (after it has become old for you) that you're bored and wish you could work and drive and go out the way high school kids do, etc. It will be a slump, but before you know it you'll be in high school.

You'll be fine. If anyone tells you its the best time of your life, don't necessarily believe it. There are a lot of better times in life. Still, there's something great about the freedom of being only 13 or 14. Friends, too, are a great way to get through any of the rough spots.

Answer 3

no i am going into 10th grade but when i went into junior high i was scared too but just go with the flow and youll get used to everthing probably within a week or two. not only that but you have your friends to get through it with too so theres really nothing to be scared of !

Answer 4

junior high is cool but dont talk to the 8th graders right away if they think your they will talk to you dont mess with them either if you follow those rules than you will be fine but the first day of middle school is scary

Answer 5

You'll be fine. I was a little scared of the older kids too when I first started but I was fine and I am now about to start highschool.

Answer 6

Anything new can be scary. Then when you get there, you find out that it's OK. You'll be fine, but it's normal to worry when going into something new.

Good luck.

Answer 7

no its not really scary. its not all its cracked up to be. no one gets shoved into lockers, or trash cans for that matter, the teachers are preety nice most of the time and dare i say it but the food was actually preety good. have fun in middle school hun.

Answer 8

Junior high was the BEST years of my life! I never had so much fun! It was awesome for me.

Answer 9

No not at all. If you stick up for yourself and carry confidence, you can get along fine with all the kids. Try to not make any enemies.

Answer 10

Don't be scared. Its fun if anything. I just began the seventh grade and so far its been going great!
