Succeeding in Middle School
Be true to yourself. The pressure to conform (or to be like everyone else) grows as you become a teenager. Don’t let peer pressure dictate who you are or what you want to achieve. Although, if it does, don't freak out. It's ok to fit in a little bit despite what all the books say. Do what is right for you and what you’re interested in.
- Stick up for what you believe in and what you know is right. For instance, turn in someone who is bullying you or other kids. If this costs you a childhood friend, don’t worry. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to make new, better friends in middle school.
