1. Some people have one, but don't feel pressured to date! :))
2. There are always mean kids. Just ignore them, or respond with jokes (that's what I do).
3. Whatever YOU feel best in :))
4. Being popular isn't that great. Find good friends that care about you, not people who want to befriend you just because you're popular.
5. It is normal to want others to like you. Just remember, in 20 years, you'll have to live with yourself. Make decisions you'll be proud of.
6. Don't worry about it! You don't need make-up to feel good about yourself. If you like it, then use it, but always do it for YOURSELF.
7. You don't need one. Even if other people have one. Don't date just to fit in. If you genuinely like someone, shoot your shot! But don't get pressured.
8. The type of person you'd like to be friends with.
9. Just get out there and start talking! You'll never get better if you don't start.
Middle school is really fun once you get adjusted :DD
(Also, teachers won't be mad if you don't ask for extra work)
