Question Posted Tuesday October 14 2003, 10:52 pm

I am going into the 6th grade and I am afraid. People tell me that I can always overcome pure pressure in middle school and high school but I don't know if I can. What should I do?

It's not as bad as it sounds. Millions of people survive grades 7-12 and live to tell about it, sometimes even with fond memories. Make sure your friends are watching out and being smart, that's one big key to things. A lot of people surround themselves with selfish drama queens because they're pretty, and that's a dumb way to choose your friends. Listen to your logical side. If things don't make sense, seperate yourself from them, think of the future and what matters and what doesn't. And don't worry too much about what people think, kids that are your age can sometimes pick on really stupid stuff that doesn't matter, you can be above all that. Just be tough and independent.

When it comes down to it, the same things matter at age 13 that will matter forever in life. Be nice to people. Don't gossip too much. Take care of yourself and stay healthy. Embrace education, it's always important. The only difference is that when you're an adult, you feel like more people are with you in your goal to do these things, and when you're in middle school you feel like no one is... not your friends or your parents or anybody. That's how we learn to be tough. You'll survive, just the fact that you're scared means you're smarter than a lot of other people.
