middle school? (2015/03/31)

Be very careful not to change because of people who try to make you feel you're not good enough the way you are.

Cliques are a big part of middle school, but it doesn't have to be a big part of your life.  It doesn't matter if you are part of a group or not: It's just a label, and you're still you.

It is very important to have friends that you like being with and trust.

Friends should never force you into anything you don't want to do.  They also should be loyal, trustworthy, and respectful.  If they are going around telling all your secrets and not respecting you, then they aren't really worth it.

Friendships are all about give and take, so you have to do your share, and your friends have to do theirs.
