MY oldest is now going into 10th grade and my stepson has already been out of college for quite a few years. It REALY does all pass so quickly, so try to enjoy watching the struggles.

I already worry about my 2.5 year old going to middle school! But, it sounds like you don't have much to worry about with LilZ - I'm sure he will do really well. 7th grade was my worst year too – for all of the reasons you mentioned.

I also hope my boy will not be as shy and self-critical as I was. He's much more confident of himself than I was! But his mouth . . . he's not afraid of confronting anyone, and it gets him in trouble . . . ug. I have a boy starting 6th grade this year, in which he will be in junior and start changing classes.

HOLY COW! Mine have about 5 weeks left (and as much as I said I wouldn't, I'm counting EVERY week (soon to be day). 7th grade was horrid for me, and pretty bad at times for Colleen too (she's going into 8th now). But it was also a good year for her finding some GREAT friends that have stuck by her and also friends from 6th grade have also stood by her and helped her get through a year that is tough for almost everyone. I hope you have a peaceful and fun 7th grade year.... dori (www.criscollrj.com/Blog) who may soon have the nerve to post her atrocious 7th grade class picture... Two weeks? HOLY COW!

Very weird dealing with new people, new teachers, new schools, lockers, and everything to do with relationships with friends. He looks like the cool laid back kid, they always just breeze through. They only come in male form though in junior high, as a teacher I have yet to see any girl who goes through junior high "normal". 7th grade was so hard.

I grew up down the street from a Catholic school and always thought wearing a uniform would be awful. (This probably had a lot to do with being a tomboy and hating skirts.) It's funny to me now, because I had zero fashion sense and would so clearly have benefited from not having to compete style-wise with the other kids. And I imagine when I have kids, I would not at all mind if they have to wear uniforms, but I suspect they would. I wonder what you think of the uniform thing in retrospect?
