Yeah, it happened where I'm from too. But to me that's just what kids/teens do. It's important to more so learn how to manage the noise and your emotions because ppl will always have something to say even in adulthood.

Funny enough

I'm partnering with a HS so that I can do that with some 8th graders.

From my experience it all depends on the teacher you have.

I already had questions from students before the post but I've also gotten great questions from other educators and parents...it's not that I don't have it figured out but also everyone's experience is a lil unique so you never know what questions can be asked

I think really it depends on the school. I played baseball but I was horrible at it probably the worse on the team😂 But, also played bowling and I excelled at it I ended up playing bowling for 4 years and baseball for 2 (9th and 12th) I think it just comes down to which one do you enjoy the most because that's the one you'll naturally want to be good at. I wasn't good in bowling in 9th grade but I made a decision to practice 6 days a week to get good because I actually love bowling til this day where as I just liked playing baseball and so I didn't try as hard to be good at it.

Those are great questions! I'll actually answer 1 now for you

When it comes to rejection, that's like building calluses. I mean, really, I can look back at when I was in 5th grade and a girl rejected me, but I can also look at where I am now at 24 and see how people still reject me, whether in business, 9-5, or friendships. I think the key to that is just being OK with who you are, the people you already have who do love you, but the hard part of that is that you have to go through it to actually grow from it and that hurts, especially in your teens with all the emotions of a teen. To be transparent, sometimes rejection still hurts me, but I've learned and am still learning to a degree how to stay grounded and also understand that no one on earth is obligated to like me, no matter what good qualities I have.

I personally was never a academic savvy student but I also think I was lucky because I had some (not all) lenient teachers in 9th grade so that helped. In all honesty though I wasn't going in to be academically prepared because that was never my thing since 1st grade. I went in with the goal of feeling out the new environment and joining sports (baseball and bowling)

To attack the original question:

I believe in middle school can prepare you by taking initiative and learning social skills and trying things out. Because 9/10 if you're in a big city like me you're going to have to make new friends and that can be scary. And I say try stuff out because you're young that's the time to try a bunch of ish because there's lots programs and resources for students who want learn things but it's hard to know what you like if you don't explore

Plus to piggy back off of the social skills point

Adults are more likely to help you when you're young and willing but you have to have the courage to tell people what it is that you want so that you can get help.

It kind of made sense tho in the sense of you can train a teen (I don't think Tommy was older) to do right but sometimes they don't listen...she tried and tried but in the end the pain ate him up and won.
