DIARY OF A 6TH GRADE GIRL #1:
MY NEW SCHOOL
    Hello, my name is Samantha. I’m 11 years old, and I’m about to start my first year of Middle School. I decided that I should keep a diary to help girls like me have an easier time when they have to start Middle School too. My older sister, Anna, said that she always wanted to do one, but she forgot when it was time for her to go.
    I just moved to this school last year, so I haven’t had the chance to make many friends or become popular. I know that if I’m scared about starting school as a 6 th grader, a lot of other girls probably are too. So, I hope that my experiences written in this diary will someday help all of those girls out there who are like me. It would be a nice way to help make the world an easier place for tween girls like me.
    Day 1
    Dear Diary,
    I’m really nervous about starting Middle School—it’s only two days away. Last year, I moved to this town close to summer, so I only got to go to school for two weeks! I didn’t have time to make many friends, and I don’t know anyone around here.
    My parents took me shopping today so that I could get some new clothes and school supplies. All of the clothes that I bought look really good on me, but I’m not sure if the other people at school will like them. I don’t have any idea what’s popular at this school! I really don’t want to be made fun of, and it would be cool if I could fit in with the popular crowd.
    All summer, my older sister, Anna, kept telling me how hard Middle School is. She will be in eighth grade this year, so she knows how it is. She told me that I’ll be made fun of because I’m weird, and I’ll never get a boyfriend because I’m too short. So, I’m really scared about going to school on Monday. What am I supposed to do?
    Day 2
    Dear Diary,
    Tomorrow is the first day of school! I got my schedule in the mail this morning, and I have to be at the bus stop by 7. Last year, I didn’t have to be at the bus stop until 8:30! I’m going to bed early to get my beauty sleep, but I’m too nervous to lie down right now.
    I have my clothes picked out for tomorrow. When I picked them out, I thought that they were really cute, but now I’m not so sure. I don’t want to show up for my first day looking like a little girl. Anna looks so much more grown up than me, and she’s only two years older.
    She has a boyfriend too! I hope that I can get a boyfriend this year. I remember one guy from my class last year, before school ended for the summer. His name was Kyle, and he was really cute. I only talked to him once, to tell him to have a good summer. He smiled at me, and I think he might kind of like me. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Wish me luck at school tomorrow!
    Day 3
    Dear Diary,
    I just got home from my first day of Middle School! It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but I really don’t want to go back tomorrow. Remember how I told you that I only had one friend from last school year? Her name is Kristy, and I tried to talk to her today, and she completely ignored me!
    She was hanging out with a bunch of older, popular girls that are in 7 th grade, and I heard her making fun of my clothes. It was really hard not to cry, and I didn’t even try to talk to anyone else for the rest of the day, except when I asked a teacher where a classroom was.
    All of the classes were hard to find, and I didn’t know where anything was. On the bright side, I was able to remember the combination to my locker without a problem! At least I didn’t have to go to the principal’s office and ask for help.
    I thought that Kristy was my friend, but she made fun of me just so that she could fit in with the popular girls. Why should I even try to make new friends if they’re all going to be like that to me? I don’t think I can make it through Middle School without friends though. I hope that tomorrow will be better.
    Day 4
    Dear Diary,
    Today was a little bit better. I was at my locker today, and
