No wonder it’s called “middle school.” If you’re in grades 6–9, you’re not a child anymore…but you’re not a grown-up either. You have more freedom…but not enough. Your life is more exciting…and more stressful. You’re faced with a lot of decisions…but where can you turn for advice? Your friends are as confused as you are, and your parents might not understand what you’re going through.
Finally there’s a survival guide especially for middle schoolers. Comprehensive, interactive, friendly, and fun, it addresses issues that matter to young people this age. Survival tips cover everything from the physical and emotional changes and how to cope, to dealing with family, friends, and school, to taking charge of your life through good decision making and goal setting.
Packed with facts, advice, quotes from kids, and helpful tips for surviving the in-between years, this is just what boys and girls need to make the most of middle school—and beyond.
