Middle School Advice!

Hello!

So, as you know, I'm from Australia, and most schools are primary school (Prep or Preschool to Year 6 or Year 7) and high school (Year 7 or Year 8 to Year 12). So the school system completely wipes out the idea of middle school. But, I know generally, middle school takes in the ages of about 11 to 15, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong!

But, whilst I am still 13 (almost 14!) I'm in Grade 9, which I think is typically the first year of high school, so I thought I would give some advice to my younger readers. I know it's halfway through the Australian school year, and I know that America and England's schooling system is typically almost over, and I don't know if other countries are different, but I felt like writing this for you today, so here goes!!


  • Make-Up
Normally schools have a 'no make up' rule. Also, I think using make up as a young girl really takes away from your freedom and self esteem. But I thought I'd tell you something. Sure, use some concealer to cover up those spots you feel uncomfortable about, but don't wear a full face of make up. Save your make up face for a beautiful or important night, so you look your best! You'll feel way more confident in your natural face on a daily basis, and feel really beautiful on occasions when you wear make up!

  • School Work
Keep up to date with your school work and homework. Yes, it's tiring, but you need to get it done. Once you receive homework or an assignment, start doing it as soon as possible. I've picked up the habit to leave it to the last moment, and I feel miserable when the moment comes around and I have barely started. Make sure you always study for up coming tests. I always leave it to the lunch break before and it makes me very nervous!

  • Friends
Make sure you stick by your friends. Believe in them, support them, and be by their side. Never strain yourself, though. Don't hang out with them when you don't feel like it. They'll understand. Don't ditch them. Don't hang out with people you don't feel comfortable around or don't feel happy around. Don't worry about finding your best friends immediately. Your friend circle will always change, accept that. You'll always have someone around! Take care of all your friends and keep them and yourself happy!

  • Relationships (Romantic)
Whether you're attracted to boys, girls, or both, it's okay. People will make you feel like it's not. Always remember when going for a relationship that if they make you feel uncomfortable or unhappy (in your company) then don't go for it. Make sure they're nice! Be careful. Never be mean to them. Don't let your relationship take over your school work, family and friends. Stay happy. Don't listen to anyone who doesn't like it. Like Taylor Swift said, "people throw rocks at things that shine... it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong". Always listen to Taylor Swift!
