6th grade survival

I can give you tips because I'm going into fifth grade at a private school, so I would be going into 6th grade at a public school. Unless you go to a private school too, but even if you do, my mom is a sixth grade counselor so I know a lot about sixth grade.

1. Dressing over-the-top will make people get bad ideas.
2. It's good to follow the current fad. If people are talking about Justin Bieber, you should talk about him too.
3. Gossiping online will get you no where but the principal's office.
4. Always bring chapstick in the winter (unless you live somewhere warm. Yes I know this is random.)
5. Don't sacrifice your kindness for popularity.
6. You will probably learn some seriously boring stuff. Just write it all down then study it later.
7. Keep your image and personality at a perfect balance between tomboys and girly girls. Tomboys will appeal to a small group of people, and girly girls will appeal to a small group of people. A mix between the two will appeal to almost everyone, and it's adjustable.
8. Have big breakfasts and big dinners. Don't risk having to have cafeteria food. Sometimes it's delicious. Sometimes it kind of tastes like puke. Don't risk it.
9. If there's a mean teacher, just do whatever they say to avoid getting in trouble.
10. Have a best friend, and several others. If you cling to one person, and you get in a fight, then who do you go to?

Hope this helps. This is what I've learned. I'm assuming that at least 4 of these tips will have expired by now, but hey, there's gotta' be a few that still apply to sixth grade.

I could never complete #10. I don't have a best friend, and I don't really have any good friends except on the internet. But I passed 6th grade just fine. Feel free to skip that one.

OFF TOPIC: Why is this in Literature?

Oh. OMG I'm going to Nantucket this summer!

I go to a preppy private school too. The kids in my camp called me and my friends snobs and said that our school "shows off". It's so annoying. People shouldn't judge us because we go to a private school.

At our school, all of the middle school teachers are really nice. But not all the lower school teachers . . .

Thats so funny! Ya i was born there and lived here ever since the summer is AWESOME xD

Ik what u mean..... Some ppl in the public school here r all like "Why go to a private school" and Im just like "Cus I do" xD Oh ya in highschool all of the private schools on her (ONly two) go to the public school cus none have a high school

Have you ever been to Madaket Milly's (the restaurant)? Or Madaket or Dionis beach? Have you ever gone fishing for blue crabs and snapping turtles? Is your house blue-ish gray-ish?

Soz about the questions lol I'm just curious.

Yep! Iv done ALL of those things xD

Oh ya my house has shingles and a blue door, like everyone else

Yea same! Our house there is like that too. It's cool how the houses look alike! This is so awesome!

Well actually ALL houses have to have shingles or boring colored wood (Only in Downtown.. I think xD)Its like a rule in the rule thing at town hall downtown xD It has to look historic! Thnx god for spell check xD

Yea, it's cool! Have you ever gone to the Ropewalk restaurant or the Juice Bar ice cream place?

Yes Yes Yes I LUV the Juice Bar! NOM NOM NOM

I know! It's so good. Once I was like four and I got the cake flavored ice cream. I hated it so I threw it at some guy LOL!

I love the mudpie ice cream it's so yummy. And you get to watch the boats and stuff. I also love how the streets are cobblestones. It's so awesome!

You should not be worried about sixth grade. I"m going into 8th, and I'm so nervous. But sixth grade is pretty easy. You just review over some fifth grade stuff and then you learn new things. You need some friends that will have your back because you never know when drama will come. Always be prepared in sixth grade, or it's going to be miserable. That simple.

LOL! The guy u threw the ice cream at was Ron his daughter is on my travel scoor team

^^ this, I have no idea i have primarys :\

What? You don't need a guide. Just be whatcha wanna be, if you go to a good school then all those stereotypical middle school things you hear do not exist.

Uh, well follow all school rules, study, and don't procrastinate. I'm going into high school and I've had plenty of experience with middle school drama and stuff. ;A;

Oh silly you. I'm going into 7th grade. All you need to do is be polite get good grades, make good friends and be yourself. Really that is all. I had a really easy year lolz. DON'T BELIEVE THE STEREOTYPICAL BOOKS! Its fun and just a breeze.

Then why do people write these kinds of books if they aren't real? Like Dork Diaries (if you mean that kind of thing). I'm going into 6th, too. I'm kina exited, but I'm bummed about having to do work again. Oh well.

I found some neat folders that can probably hold all my papers without breaking. :-)

they write them to poison innocent in around my age children minds with false info and use that to take over the world
They do it for fun, stereotypes, and money.
