well, I’m going into 8th grade, so I like to think I know a little bit about middle school. I’d say don’t procrastinate, though I do all the time lol but it causes a lot of stress later on. There will be a lot of drama, just try to stay out of it and you should be fine, and friendships wise, if someone doesn’t like you for who you are or tries to change you, then don’t listen to them. You are you and if they don’t like it then it’s their own problem. Try to do some of your work during class and free period, that way you don’t have way too much work to do at home.
