Smart.  Middle School sucks, high school is okay, college rocks, but having a great job, car, and a place to live in your thirties is the bomb!  Then you can worry about being popular and beautiful and getting dates.

Depends on the context\nBoys are, generally speaking, superior athletes\nwhile\ngirls, generally speaking, are superior journalists.\n\nI could go on with these comparisons, but I think you get the idea, we all have our strengths and weaknesses and some of them are linked to our gender.\n\n*******Mozart-n-Me\nPlease read someone's post carefully before you attempt to correct, I chose my words carefully so that essentially your rebuttal makes you look extremely ignorant as you are just repeating what I said.\ni.e.\nI did NOT say ALL boys are more athletic than girls

Relax, you'll be fine.  Get involved in the things you are interested in.  Be a leader, not a follower.  Don't do stuff to be "popular" when you know in your heart it is wrong.  Study hard, play hard.  Be kind to others.  I loved high school; the best 4 years of my life!

Middle school is challenging in so many ways.  \nOf course, academically, there is more required and expected of middle school students than what was required in the earlier grades. Students can deal with more complex thinking at this age in math, philosophy, science, and the languages.\nThere is more preparation and time required at home for homework assignments, and longer term assignments, too, so students have to begin to be able to explore time management to be successful.  Organization will become more of a priority at the middle school level.  There is also the sense of preparing oneself for high school level, where the grades count and everything is viewed with an eye to the future.\nBut the larger challenge is social  - some people have a difficult time feeling like they fit in, since peer groups are so important at this age.  Add to this the physical development of puberty's arrival, with its attendent hormonal moodiness and internal voice constantly questioning "am I normal?" ,  "who am I?", "what is important to me?", and you've got some major issues to handle.  \nIt's a time of growing up, shifting of priorities, being able to handle more complex topics, and finding oneself.\nSo I would say it is challenging, but also exhilarating time that will make a lifelong impression.

Harvard is preppy and MIT is nerdy. I'd go with MIT because geeks are cool!

Popular - two types.\nIf you want to be in the popular cliche you've got to have the hottest looks and everything. All popular people are in on the gossip. \nIf you want to be liked, then be really nice to everybody. \nThere's a huge difference. The first one, everybody wants to be you but they still think you're a total bitch. The second one, most people like you except for some who think you're like a sucking up person or whatever.

Ahh, the middle school world. Lets see, back in the day guys would tease you a lot, poke you/play with your hair/etc or just talk to you a lot and pay special attention to you.

Pros:  \nYou get much more freedom than middle school.\nYou have a lot more friends to choose from.\nYou have a lot more activities to choose from.\nYou'll get to pick some of your classes.\nKids aren't as mean as they are in middle school.\n\nCons:\nYou won't realize that high school is just a very small, itty-bitty, teeny weeny part of your life until long after you've graduated.  So everything that happens to you will seem like the biggest deal in the world.  (But I guess everything in life is like this!)

im very shy but im alot of fun once u get to know me...im very mature for my age...im considered popular in my own crowed...which is a group of a bunch of...idk what they are..part jock...part prep...pary geek...so i pretty much get along with everyone...but the full blow popular crowd really needs to get a clue that they are not the only people in the school who matter...the emo kind of people need to stop cutting themselves and realize that they only get one life to live...the creepy scummy kind of people need to learn that soap is good for them and the jocks need to learn that takeing drugs only make there  u know whats smaller...and the durggies...they need to get a fucking life...but my group...the geeks need to just...loose the sweater vests...the jocks need to learn that there is more to life then sports..but i think if they both gave eachother some of them everything would be perfect..but itll never happen... what kind of person r u?

I would probably want to be an artist, musician or writer. Or maybe a food critic.

I actually teach both levels everyday. I enjoy the innocence of the younger kids...their fresh ideas...I can't stand elementary school kid parents-they need to grow up...I enjoy the wit of the high school kids, and can relate to them better. I like looking at kids and actually being able to say "What were you thinking?" I can't stand the attitude you get in middle school and 9th grade...ugh
