The students were much calmer and more afraid today. Probably because they didn’t have as much time to socialize in the morning. It made for fantastic circles.
These are the ten tips I gave students on how to survive middle school, after our community circle.
- Know and obey your school’s rules.
- Avoid drama and gossip.
- Choose your friends wisely.
- Don’t let your friends get you in trouble.
- Be realistic about romantic relationships.
- Make lots of friends by joining clubs and trying new things.
- Try not to care about what people think about you.
- Pay attention in class and do your work.
- Go with the flow / awkwardness.
- Believe in yourself.
