What styles are exceptable in middle school? Is it hard keeeping track of all the different classes? If you know anything please tell me all you know and pronto!
Answer
Middle school is not as hard as it looks. You will want to only bring your essential supplies (paper, pens, folder, etc.) on the first day, because some schools don't give out locker assignments right away and you'll be stuck lugging all your stuff around from class to class. Most schools have combination locks already attached to the lockers, so you won't need an extra padlock. However, some schools require you to have an extra lock for your gym locker. Your teachers will provide you with a supply list for each class, so you'll know what to bring. Once you've got your locker, you can just go there once before school, once at lunch, and once at the end of the day, and you can change out the books/supplies you'll need for each class, so you won't have to carry around too much.
As for keeping track of the classes: it is pretty easy, but nobody expects you to get your schedule 100% memorized by the first day, so don't be shy about asking someone where a classroom is if you can't find it. Also, when I was in middle school, I remember that the teachers were pretty lenient on the first few days of school if we were late to a class because we couldn't find it or something.
I think you'll find that all the kids your age are still going to be adapting to middle school, just like you, so the styles for kids in your class will most likely be the same as they were in elementary school. The older kids may dress/look different, but that doesn't mean you should copy them. Just stick to who you are as a person, and your true friends will just like you the way you are.
One more piece of advice: if you are a girl, you will inevitably meet up with a group of "mean girls", either in your class or older than you. Whatever you do, DON'T let them get to you. If you have to ignore them, come up with witty comebacks, whatever-do it. Just don't let them make you feel worthless or dumb, because you're not. OK?

MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
glamababii
im going to middle school. my town is kinda weird middle school is from 7-8th grade. also the middle school is set up into communities and they are called different things from greek letters like my brother last year was in Theta and the year before that Delta. each hall is 1 community. I AM TERRIBLY SCARED!!!!! here are my questions
******when you go to homeroom on the first day of school do you bring ALL your school supplies to just that one class or do you keep it in your locker because on the first day i have no idea what to bring. i was thinking of the day before the first day of school to do my binder and make each class a seperate section and my other binder will just be cycle classes. this school has certain locker times for each community.
************ how long is it usually to switch from class to class because i dont wanna be late or too early.
*********** FRIENDS i am also scared if none of my friends will be in my community. can u guys help me get over that.
*********LOCKERS on the first day of school do they give you your textbooks?? what if your locker is too small for like 5 txt books 2 binders and a backpack. at this school some communities have half lockers, full lockers(long ones) and low lockers with kinda like a drawer on top(IM HOPING FOR A LONG ONE!)
PLEASE IF I HAVE ANYMORE QUESTIONS CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL!!!!!!!!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!
Answer
I'm going to 7th grade, too! Yay! But I know a little bit about middle school and what to expect, since mine starts in 6th grade.
Question 1: You aren't required to bring all of your supplies to one class. Look at your schedule and find all of your locker breaks. Only get the supplies needed for classes in between locker breaks. For example if your schedule looks like this:
Locker
1st Period--Math
2nd Period--English
Locker
3rd Period--Science
4th Period--US History
Locker
Then, when you go to your locker for the first time, you would get only the stuff you need for English and Math. Then, when you go to your locker the second time, you only need stuff for Science and History. The teachers don't expect you to carry all of that around all day. As far as your binder, I like that idea. It's a great way to stay organized.
Question 2: The teachers usually dismiss your from your class and allow you to go to your locker. Most of the time, on the first day of school, they will tell you how long they'll allow you to be at your locker. Usually, it's no more than five minutes. And if you keep your locker organized, that shouldn't be a problem.
Question 3: It's ok if your friends aren't in your community. More than likely there are a ton of other kids that are coming to this school, which gives you the opportunity to make a lot of new friends. Just be careful who you pick as friends, because sometimes, they just aren't the right ones. And if you simply can't go through middle school without your besties, let your parents know and they can write a note to the guidance office, possible allowing you to switch classes.
Question 4: Textbooks usually are handed out on the first day of school. Your locker should be big enough, because you won't have all of that in there at one time (You have to have some books and binders for you classes). As far as a book bag, what I would recommend carrying instead of that is a tote bag. You can put all of your books in there and carry a purse with that if you would like. That way, you can carry it around all day with your books (Saves arm space) and you don't have to deal with a book bag in your locker (Saves locker space). You can find these bags at Wal-Mart.
