Surviving Seventh Grade

When you go into seventh grade some things definitely become easier because you have gotten used to middle school movement in sixth grade. But some things just get harder and even more complicated. In sixth grade they don’t give you much of a hard time because they know you still are getting used to things. In seventh grade you have higher expectations. Try to get along with your teacher so she won’t pick on you as much.

There will always be more strict teachers than others, the best thing to do is not to pick an argument and stay away from talking at certain classes. In seventh grade you are stuck right down the middle of school so and class times change. You have to get used to controlling your hunger and sitting around for one more class before lunch. Sometimes you can get the same teacher from last year that you had for a subject but that doesn’t always happen. Every night, homework may take up more time to finish than sixth grade. Don’t have excuses about not having homework and don’t bunch it up for the last minute. The responsibility you have will increase every time you move up a grade, a lot of people think it’s just when you move on from high school to college but there is some change when you go from sixth to seventh grade. In seventh grade you will usually have classes downstairs so you have to get used to walking and knowing the bottom part of the school instead of the top which you had last year, so there will be different classrooms. For some of you in seventh grade fun times will come too, like finding out more about things, hanging with friends, parties and getting out more. Complications may also occur, like seeing people change, popularity, peer pressure, fighting, making the right choices when others are not, and learn how to deal and live with bullies and others around you.

Seventh grade is supposed to be a fun and good experience for you, but that depends on you! Try not to get in trouble too much because it’s not always that you will be able to get away with it. When you dress for school think about what you are doing because in sixth grade they will usually say its okay for the first time but in seventh grade they make you put lost & found clothes from the school or make you put a sweater and call home. Don’t be late to class or chew gum because for some teachers that’s an automatic referral, the same thing goes for texting. If you do something wrong, don’t make a big deal about it because the situation could get worse. End up the year with good grades and good impressions. When you get into seventh grade just know who your real friends are and stick with them. Try your hardest to come up prepared to school. Follow the simple rules because that’s what makes the difference. Come prepared to learn, Make good choices, Show respect to others, yourself, and property. SCORE: 100 Thaina Brito
