[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember middle school as the worst years of my life. I was smart but conventionally unattractive, shy and had few friends. I was even attacked in a stairwell (probably attempted sexual assault, but I escaped). And this was in what was considered a great school district. My daughter starts middle school in the fall and I am terrified for her. She's smart and kind of nerdy - wears glasses as I did. Likes being unconventional. She does have a number of friends though as she has a great personality. What worked for you or your kids when transitioning? I am willing to get her contact lenses, help her buy a few "cool" clothes. Thanks![/quote] A lot of the issues are not as much of a problem as it was for us. Bullying is way down from my days (and probably your days). Sexual harassment happens, but it is not as acceptable as it was...FCC should be ok. We are in FCPS. Middle school sucked for DD; but she survived. [/quote]
