The only
survival guide a middle school kid will ever need.
It can be the best of times. It can be the worst of times, too. Middle school
happens at that
tumultuous time in life when one’s not a
teenager and not a little kid. Middle school means being a middle-aged kid. Expectations—from teachers, parents, friends, siblings—can all change dramatically,
causing worry and
concern even for the most laid-back student.
The Middle School Survival Guide covers every issue, inside school and out, from the most trivial concerns to the most serious issues that middle school students face today. Arlene Erlbach has assembled a teen advisory
board of 200 kids between fifth and tenth grade who give advice about topics from cracking a locker combination, to dealing with multiple teachers, to sex and dating.
