M&N Advice:Moving schools

Moving schools can be so hard, Believe Us... We would know. N and I both arrived at our current middle school on the same day.

I probably would have never met N but, she was also new and I could relate. Since moving schools is so stressful and scary we have decided to share our wisdom with you.

Moving Middle Schoolers In General

Moving is tough. Whether it is moving schools, cities, or states even. But it`s tougher in middle school. 

Why?...

Some could argue moving to any school is hard. This is true but, Middle School is the first time that you change classes, or change in gym. Its full of twist and turns and moving just makes things worse. Think about elementary school fun and games, right? Not to much if any homework, No switching teachers or classes, and a small easy to navigate school. Life couldn't be better, right? Now fast forward a few years... Middle School. Home of lockers, bullies, loads of homework, new teachers every 45 minutes. Not very fun, right? Now, let's add moving to your already horrible equation. That's what kids everyday are going through and, it happened to US!

5.) Make new friends and keep the old:

Truly, This is one of the corny songs us Girl Scouts sing but, it is true and useful. Don't forget about your old friends but, don't be afraid to make new ones. You can't get hurt by saying "Hi!" or asking "what is your name." even asking "can I sit with you." I said all these things to M and I'm still in one piece.   

4.) Get involved

Join a club, sport, or extracurricular activity and enjoy yourself.

3.) Don't Judge:

People often judge others and don't become best friends like they were destined to (again like M and me). Friends come in all different, colors, shapes, sizes, and quality. Choose your friends wisely but, don't judge a person until you've seen the real them.

2.) Be Brave

Don't show others you're hurt, keep a positive mentality and, don't be afraid to ask questions!

1.) Be Yourself

All adults say "Be Yourself" but, we all know it is really hard to do so. But, if your friends don't like you for who you are, they might not be worth the trouble of changing yourself.
