ok guys here’s my best advice which i really feel like everyone needs to hear: in school literally NO ONE cares and remembers anything embarrassing, or uncool that you have ever did like seriously, people don’t even remember what you wore yesterday unless they REALLY liked it so, all the overthinking that you have done, is pointless in the end. no one is judging you they are too busy judging themselves.

I'm the girl who gives great relationship advice but has never been in one Edit: I’m famous

The 2024 people:

Why Is Her Camera Quality Better Then My EyeSight

as a girl going to be a sophomore this next school year, these tips are SUPER helpful for any girl in middle school!! i honestly wish i had known these before i went into middle school, and i’m super glad you made this video!!

As someone going to be a freshmen in the fall, don’t bother people, don’t try to act cool, BE YOU, you’re gonna lose friends it’s what middle school is, ignore people! Good luck Edit: Tysm for the likes

me with social anxiety and just cannot talk to people: hmm interesting...

even if she hadn’t experienced some of the things she talked about, she still answered them really well, thank you!

Judging by your answers, you sound like that super smart, kind kid you gives good advice and helps people with their work by showing them how to get to the answer instead of just giving it. A true role model!

I’ve been online ever since middle school started, now I’m heading into seventh grade and seeing everyone for the first time I’m a nervous wreck.... hah 💔

college freshman here, and my answers to each section are: -friends: youll know who your solid, closest friends are, and if you dont find them in middle school, youll probably find them in high school. my best friends ive been friends with since 8th grade and theyre the most supportive people in my life. youll have fights and arguments sometimes (if its frequent, drop them) but re-evaluate if its a worthy fight to put up or if you could just drop it. -grades: grades dont matter in the grand scheme of things, but middle school is meant to help you learn how to study and get good grades. work for yourself, get the grades you feel like YOU deserve. if you disagree with your grade, talk with your teacher for retakes, extra help after school, etc. middle school is to prepare you for high school (also i had more homework in middle school in comparison to high school, just saying) -relationships: dating in middle school doesnt exist. im sorry but it doesnt. also boys dont mature ever. my best friends are guys and he still laughs at farts. honestly, if you feel like dating someone in middle school, do it, but if you want something more serious and committed, wait until high school. -time management: youre still kids. take time to do what you want and dont let people judge you for it. i was really into some youtubers in middle school and i didnt care what others would say. do what you want (legally and within reason) but that being said, take time to study and take time for yourself. -classes: take them seriously. you may not want to because of what i said earlier, but like i said, they set you up with good studying habits and help you get ready for being a big kid. -random: -I am a freshman in college going into vocal music education to become a choir teacher -high school was fine for me, just stay out of drama, dont worry about popularity, its not worth it -periods are normal and natural. dont be ashamed or stressed about it, it happens to everyone with a uterus -middle school was boring, thats it. youll remember barely anything -i dress up every day, but i dress for myself. hope this helped anyone going into/in middle school, if you have any other questions feel free to send them my way!

One time in elementary school, a girl and a boy in my class were dating- (5th grade) and they would wear the same crocs 😂😂

“Are B’s and C’s Good grades?” Asian parents: ABSOLUTELY NOT

Here’s some advice: when you make new friends, don’t tell them personal stuff until you are 100% positive they are trustworthy. (Btw my middle school is 5th-8th, I’m going into 6th)

My advice for relationships: I went into a relationship in 7th grade. There’s a few thing I would like to say. When you say u want a bf/gf make sure it’s for a reason because u actually like them instead of because u want attention. For me personally, I barely knew the guy, I felt insecure bc my friends were getting bf’s and I wanted part of that. I didn’t actually like him I was only doing it for attention (I didn’t realize this till after the relationship was over) and it was HORRIBLE for my mental health. I cried every night since I didn’t know what to do. He was very nice but it destroyed me internally. The relationship lasted for 8 months bc I was too afraid to break up w him bc of what he might do to himself since he told me how the world would mean nothing to him without me. My advice would be, only do it if you 100% know you’re ready. And please get to know the person first. Second: be prepared. Here’s a big note: it’s hard to care and love for someone else, before you learn to care and love yourself. It’s impossible to be there for someone else if your not there for yourself first. In my experience, it was really hard to care for the person since I didn’t fully love myself. It left me torn. I’m in eighth grade now and that relationship has given me a fear to enter a new one. I’m worried I’ll have to go thru the same emotional pain I went thru when I was with that person. Please before u go into a relationship make sure it’s something u need instead of want. And please feel free to reply to this comment if u need any advice or if u have any questions :) remember, ur perfect the way u are and Ilysm

her: i got my period in 7th me: *gets it during 5th at the age of eleven* 😭

I’m going to middle school in August and this has answered so many of my questions. Thank you.

Advice for middle school: Do everything you can to preserve your mental health because if you thought middle school was bad, just wait for high school.

Here’s my tip: *Don’t try to act older than you actually are!* Enjoy your middle school experience. There’s no need to rush into looking or acting older. Other kids in your school might try to act and/or look a year or two older, but you should just let yourself slowly grow as a person! Oh and another tip: be yourself! You don’t want to make new friends that don’t know who you truly are as a person.

I'm going into freshman year too, heres some advice for middle school: everybody is just as scared as you are, set and example and socialize with others and get to know each other. P.S. Try your best too keep your notes clear trust me your going to need them later on in other grades

I’m going to middle school in august and this video makes me less nervous about middle school

As someone who’s going to middle school while getting this recommending me, thank you so much! 💜

im not even in middle school anymore but I'm still watching this for some reason lol

As an August freshman, this is actually very helpful.

can we talk about her consistency 🤍

I have no idea why i got this is my recommended when i'm a Junior... Just a tip for middle school or simply just any year in school: Do not do anything just to seem cool, for example vape. If you do and you get caught it'll stay on your record and you probably won't be able to get accepted into any colleges. If you do date someone try your best to date someone from another school. When or if you do break up with the person you're with in the same school as you there will definitely be drama, if you like drama then go for it.

literally just graduated middle school a week ago. my advice is just do ur own thing. stop caring abt what other ppl think bc everyone else is too busy with their own stuff to care. and don’t forget to be nice, it helps a lot !!

wow, this got recommended summer going into 6th. never watched you before, but im glad this got recommended to me.

as a girl whos going to be a sophomore in hs next year, this video was very accurate, honest, and helpful. It's also very well organized/put together :) Thanks sm for making this, I wish I had this when I went into middle school!

My advice: Don’t give a crap about what other girls think. Be yourself, be nice to everyone who is nice to you, and keep your head up high. The key is confidence. Be the best you! 💗 - I’m going into 9th so if anyone has any tips? 😂

my advice for people that are going to start middle school: don’t change yourself for the sake of others. basically what i mean is, don’t change yourself to make other people happy. like your appearance, personality, etc. because that is what makes you, well, you. don’t change yourself to be popular or for popular people to like you more because at the end of the day, almost everybody in middle school is incredibly insecure of themselves. they aren’t cool, and you’ll realize that eventually. i know it’s easy to say that because i too have changed myself for others. both my appearance and personality. i thought it would make me popular, to look and act like them. but it didn’t. at all. so please keep that in mind. good luck for people that are nervous for middle school. you’ll do great 🫶🏼

this is the first video about middle school problems that's actually straight up. thank you so much it rlly helped!🤩

I’m going into seventh grade next year and this helped a lot

my advice: dont get into a relationship with anybody! bc then you’ll get very stressed with trying to focus on family, grades, if u have sports/special events, and then ur gf/bf to focus on. my advice tho! if you really want a relationship go for it :)

I’d like to say that in the whole “will my friends change” thing, as she said, yes! But you will too. Without even knowing it you’re not only changing physically, but mentally. Just keep it in mind that while you’re thinking “why did they change so much” they might be thinking the same

I just finished my last year of elementary( Fifth Grade) and I am so nervous for Middle School! Thank you for the tips!

I’m going to middle school this fall and these tip help me ALOT , Tysm!!

FINALLY we have someone our age giving us advice who has been through this with the same experience (pretty much) unlike millennials saying about when they where our age. (NO HATE THO) ALSO THANKS FOR THE VID

as an incoming sophomore, u have no idea how badly i wish my middle school self could've heard this. u are definitely helping so many middle school kids with this video!

i am a senior in high school and soon i will graduate, and then it's a college time but i still love Alyssa and her channel. Even though she is younger than me I think that she is such an inspiration and i am very happy and proud of myself that i find her channel💜💜 Thank you for every advice. You are so smart and beutiful inside and out💙💙

Ty for this I’m going into year 7 soon and I’m really nervous

For someone going into 8th grade and switching to a public school, i'm glad you made this video! It's kinda reminding me of an older sibling or an older friend giving advice, which I find very sweet.

Advice: go talk to them Lockdown: NO! She’s gonna be alone FOREVER 😂😂

TYSM IM GOING INTO 6TH GRADE THIS YEAR ILYSM!

As an incoming 10th grader: It’s easy to get good grades. Even when I was in gifted/ advanced classes it wasn’t too hard at all. Still try your best but for the most part, grades really don’t matter in middle school and when applying for highschool, you can still ask on your corse card to be put in higher level classes even if you were an average student.

Middle school was by far the worst thing I have ever been put through. I’m still traumatized, and I left that place a while back. High school is way better, and I’m just living the good life. I have friends now. Like we go out (and we can drive now) and do things friends.

For the “if I feel unmotivated” question I just put on my fave songs and then sing along or just listen while I do homework

you’re underrated you deserve 100k !

This literally popped up on my recommended at the perfect time. I’m going into middle school this fall!

As an eighth grader in her last year of middle school, I kinda wanted to share my advice. Overall it really helped me back in 7th (which is when we start middle school here) and it's pretty damn helpful. I might hurt some feelings, but keep in mind that's not my intention. No sugar-coating, I'll be telling you how it is and hopefully you learn something. First, join clubs. This is an absolute biggie if your school has clubs. Joining sports teams like volleyball and cheerleading not only makes you more known, you get wayyy more friends and you likely won't be lonely. If you're good enough they can recommend you in high school and you can get a scholarship too, so joining clubs and/or sports teams is a must. Two, TALK TO PEOPLE. Most people are just as nervous as you are, so instead of waiting for them to talk to you, do it yourself. The best conversation starters are compliments or questions about the class, so start conversation. Like I said, they're super nervous too, so they likely won't talk to you first. You have to be the bigger person, step into your big people pants, and get it over with. It's so worth it, I promise! If you don't talk to people and make friends you'll so regret it later. 3, don't start fake rumors just for the sake of getting more attention and friends. That's not how friendships work. You should be mature by now, so leave the 5th grade drama behind you and don't start drama. If someone lies about you, be mature. It'll make them look stupid and people won't go after you. Just be the bigger person. 4, PLEASE don't go around acting like an animal or saying overly personal things to people. I've seen many kids do this and unfortunately they become like outcasts, so don't even tell your friends your personal secrets. People are like, talentedly fake nowadays. Don't trust even your friends with secrets, who you like, etc. 4, get your work done and ask questions as needed. Don't worry about looking stupid for asking a lot of questions, chances are the other kids are wondering the same thing but are too scared to ask. The world doesn't revolve over everything you do or say, no one is gonna lie awake at night gossiping to others about the question you asked in calculus. 5, work hard and get into AP classes, it's gonna be SO much easier in the future with you if you do so. I'm in AP math and got the option to take division college courses now. That means I can graduate college this year or next year if I wanted. Also be nice to your teachers, so that if you ever need help they'll be willing to help you. 6, if you are scared of getting to your classes late, don't worry. Trust me, this was my ultimate biggest fear when I started middle school. Most classes are in number order, so all you have to do is follow that order to get to class. Most people are late for the first week anyway, so the chances of you getting in trouble are little to none. 7, wear whatever you want. I'm not gonna lie, some kids get made fun of for their clothes. But at the end of the day it's not that deep, kids will forget the next day. As long as your happy no one cares. 8, makeup. Most girls at my school wear natural false lashes and gel brows. It's okay if you wanna do makeup, by all means feel free to express yourself. But I don't recommend going overboard just because if you sweat throughout the day your makeup will get messed up. And if you're gonna wear makeup, make sure you do it right or else it just looks like you're trying too hard. 9, hygiene. I can SMELL some girls mustyness when they walk by, so please do deodorant every morning and take showers every day or two days. My personal rule for myself is ten swipes of deodorant per armpit, a small spray of perfume/cologne/body mist over the armpit, and scented lotion. That way you can stay fresh all day, and dont forget to reapply deodorant after gym if you have it. Brush your teeth everyday, and chew mint gum after lunch to prevent bad breath. And lastly, 10. BE YOURSELF. Live middle school without regrets, have fun and do well. Hope this helps yall, you will do great, I promise 🥴 Bonus tip: feel free to date if you want, I actually recommend it. It gives you experience so you won't be awkward later on in life, and your s/o can actually help you grow as a person and become more mature. If you don't wanna date, that's fine too! But if you choose to, don't only focus on guys/girls/pals, it will distract you from studies and friends and you won't do well.

Some advice: Go up to them! Be friendly ( even if their not) Don’t feel pressure to change

wait this was right on time with my freshman year!

honestly, just stay organized, pay attention in class, take notes when provided and get to places quickly. youre gonna probably lose or gain a few friends, dont beat urself up over it if you lose one, its normal. it just becomes a routine after like, 3 weeks of being in middle school. dont be afraid to ask older kids where something is, they’ll probably just take you there because it means they dont have to really be in the class they gotta go to lol.

i love these so much! i’m going into junior year, but these types of videos make me so happy because i wish i had access to the internet when i was in middle school. i went into it with no idea what to expect. you seem like an angel ❤️

Going into my freshman year august 23, everything in this video is really helpful advice. Middle school can be hard since everyone is changing but overall middle school can be fun. 1. A big thing for girls in middle school, some girls will tend to point out every little imperfection on other girls bodies, their chest, their behind, the way they dress. Please try not to let it bother you. 2. Also everyone seems to want to grow up way too fast and get into relationships, your still young take your time. I’m not saying that relationships are bad or anything since they are a learning experience, but don’t go dating someone just to date someone. Take the time to get to know the person you like first before getting into a relationship right away with that person.

The biggest piece of advice, if someone talks shit about someone TO you, they will probably talk shit ABOUT you. Stay away from those people. There will be drama but stay impartial and try to stay out of it as much as possible. Don't try and act older just to be cool, if your friend make u feel like u need to do that, they aren't worth hanging around.

hello i just graduated high school & this is so wholesome! enjoy it guys, don't care too much about what others think :')

As a person who has spent my 13 years of my life over 8 different states, this video was really helpful! I just moved during the middle of 7th grade and it has been difficult, so thank you so much for these great tips!

Oh my lord your voice is so clear, literally it has so much sense, I understand everything, wow, thank you for explaining clear, thanks for the tips! 👍 😊

I was scrolling through my recommended and saw this. I immediately clicked. I’m going into my first year of middle school in the fall and hoped this would help. I am on the very edge of the line for my elementary school, so there are very few of my friends going to my middle school. I actually cried myself to sleep last night. It’s been about 2 weeks or so since I got out of school, and last night is when it hit me I will probably never see most of my friends again. My octopus was on the frowning side.

I watched this the day before I started middle school and now I’m rewatching this right before my first day of high school 💗

Video popped up for me and it’s very very good because I’m going to middle school and I know nothing about it so this is gonna give me tips and advice. This girl is the best.❤

Hope you’re having a fantastic day Alyssa!

I’m a freshman next year too so advice for middle schoolers: don’t get too focused on drama because it will take your focus away from the important things. It’s not gonna matter in a couple years who dated who in sixth grade, what will matter is “do I think I did my best” and “could my grades have been better” Next, always stay organized it helps with remembering homework. Meaning don’t be lazy and shove papers in your backpack, put it in a folder or binder. Always have a goal, mine was to keep all my A’s above 95. Only keep some close friends but still make as many friends as possible, they could potentially in the future be your best friend. DO SPORTS AND EXTRACURRICULARS!!! This allows you to meet people who you might’ve thought were too “popular” or “cool” for you. I’m a fidgeter (not sure I spelled that right) so I keep a hair and or stretchy bead braclet in my bag or on my wrist so when I have to focus that’s what I use to keep the noise down. Challenge yourself, last year I took a chance and took a foriegn language a year early and achieved the highest grade in the class, and took geometry which is two years ahead of where I should be. It’s made me some great friends that will last throughout highschool. But don’t challenge yourself to the point where you can’t do it anymore. (I should probably take my own advice…) REMEMBER: *THE GRADE YOU GET IS WHAT YOU DESERVE*

my god, I am less than a week into starting nursing school and I'm here, getting tips about middle school. Biggest tip, don't take any of this for granted, you will miss it.

Ok I’m also going into freshman year!! Whoo! Advice for the middle schoolers: it does not matter who’s dating who, what’s happening in other people’s lives, and drama doesn’t last. I promise you that if you focus on all these things, you are going to put off the important things. Always always, make sure that your homework is caught up, cause the bad grades will catch up.

My biggest flex is my school has elementary school, middle school, and high school together in the same campus.

Why is Alyssa drop dead gorgeous!! 💗

Your voice is calming! Which makes this video much better! Tysm! 🌻

Middle school advice, mainly for grades: If you want good grades, here is how I study. It's pretty efficient, for me at least. Before I sit down I think about a few things: -What topic is it? -What notes do I need? -How will my notes be organized? -What should I look for to understand better? (What I mean by this is "How should I re-explain it to myself so I can understand it?") I get the basic supplies according to what topic (ex. math - protractor) Studying isn't like a shopping spree. You have to sit down and *be organized* . Get your crap together. Force yourself to study.

Ahhh I love this! Ty for the advice Alyssa🤍

im going into sophomore year and this advice is the BEST still

hi! I'm going to be a sophomore, and transitioning to a freshman was definitely not easy in a pandemic especially w distance learning! for those going into middle school, just be yourself and enjoy your middle school year! One thing I regret is having the mindset of not liking my middle school year! You'll feel like you're maturing/growing, but take it easy and don't rush into it. Classes & grades are one of the biggest changes, you'll probably have orientation and you'll get used to the school grounds, don't freak out if you're late to class on the first day for not knowing your class. Friends will change, just pick a group of friends where it's drama-free and toxic-free, choose your friends wisely. Time management-wise, practice that now!!! Learn how to prioritize your work & grades while you're still in middle school because once you get into high school, it's gonna be so much harder. My freshman year of high school was supposed to be my easiest year due to the pandemic, my time management skills went into the gutter. Relationships in middle school, like she said in the video! it depends, and it's your opinion but for me, I don't think you should date in middle school! You're still growing and maturing, relationships in middle school most likely won't last long unless you're "lucky" but don't waste your time trying to find a s/o in middle school, have fun! I'm happy for not dating until hs, I had more freedom & time with friends! middle school relationships, in GENERAL, are just not ideal. P.S nobody cares what you do or look like, or whatever embarrassing action! they will most likely not remember.

Her voice is so relaxing also this really helped really thank you so much

why isn’t anyone talking about how beautiful alyssa’s eyes are-

I’m going into middle school,and I am absolutely horrified. This helped me a lot,thanks!

I am excited for my first year of middle school! I am going into 7th bc my school is dumb. But my advice in general is to make new friends as soon as you can in each year if your group of friends changes you will have the other friends on your back!

I think that is important that is being nice to people about this video. Because they can really let you pass. Just try your hardest, don’t focus on drama when it’s not the time.

When I came into 6th grade me and my bff of 6 years didn't have any of the same classes, in the end I was the only one reaching out and by 7th grade we stopped talking but didn't make it official that we weren't friends. Now I'm going into 8th grade and I'm excited for all my new classes. When I go into highschool I'm switching school districts so hopefully I'll meet new people that live in my neighborhood

I only got A’s on choir and all my other class were C’s because of my dyslexia

i love this video so much! as someone who was in 8th grade i totally agree! you seem like the sweetest person and very mature!!

just got done w 6th grade year this is the most real video you could get for middle school,For the people iffy if they should watch this do it!I wish i've listened to this when I was still in 6th grade

I needed this thank you ❤️

This is literally a perfect video because i’m going into middle school (7th) there’s this weird thing my school does is that 6th grade is intermediate and then 7 & 8 is middle school. lysm alyssa!

Thank you so much for this information! I am going into middle school in a week and am super nervous. It really helped me relax a bit and to not care as much of what other people think of me. It is my first time watching your channel and I subscribed. I think you make amazing videos! Keep up the great work :)

I am going into 6th next year and this really helped me kinda know what to expect for middle school, and help my time management

THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN NEEDING THIS

I’m going to middle school I just graduated 5th grade this is really helpful

ughhh 😫 I love you for putting timestamps 🥲

Thank you for giving them the tips/ advice in this video so much, I love it.

im gonna be a sophomore this august and these tips are amazing

I love your channel so much ❤️❤️

thank you so much! i really needed this. im going into middle school currently. you give the best advice

tysm for making this video, I'm going into middle school after summer vacation, this is really helpful!

Thanks Alyssa I am going into 6th grade I really needed this🥰

Also on Brooklyn and Bailey I saw that you should always bring a jacket in case your on your period so you can tie it around your waist to cover it up if that happens to you

As someone who’s now going to early college from middle school: friends aren’t always the choice, I had friends for one year and they all made me feel bad about myself, so then I dropped them and now I feel better. If they ever make you feel bad drop them immediately

Ima tell my sister who’s going to sixth to watch this! It was super helpful for me and I’m a rising freshmen! ❤️✨ also what does ur high school specialize in? I did the same and applied for a performing arts school because I play in orchestra and really enjoy it!! Also tip for anyone try to pick an elective you will actually enjoy and not one that all your friends are doing just because! Colleges love to see that you’ve stuck with a hobby for a long time!

This video is helping me a lot cause next year I am going to 7th grade and I can,t wait but I need to be Productive and pay Attention to the teachers While in learning thanks this video helps a lottttt ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
