Middle School was pretty fun for me. I had tons of friends and did well in my classes. It wasn’t until HS that life really changed.
I think these books would be a wonderful gift for my niece. Thank you!
“Seasons Greetings!” Middle School was definitely not my favorite. I was taller than most of the other students, even the boys. When you are that age, it is not pleasurable! Then, I was also bashful! If you put together the two of those, middle school was not the best time of my life. Thanks,Cindi
Middle school was very traumatic.
love to use these as a gift
Middle school didn’t really have much meaning to me…I was the shy and quiet kind of student x3 It wasn’t until high school that I actually started to try to talk to people more.
GREAT prize.
This would be awesome to have for my daughter!
this would be great to win.
Middle school is fun & my little girl is almost there!
I have two granddaughers and the oldest is 10yrs. This would be a great gift for her since she is already going thru some of these things mention in the books. I would be it would be a great help for her and plus she is avid book reader. Thankyou for this great chance to win this for her she would love it and so would I.
Middle School was a nightmare! Zits, training bras, periods, and we moved twice, so I was ALWAYS the new kid with no friends!
Now my niece is in middle school, but shes been in the same school district since kindergarten and is very popular and involved in EVERY activity and Sport, so its a MUCH different experience for her! THANK GOODNESS!
Nice prize
Nice books
These would be great for my almost-13 year old. I don’t remember Middle School (aka Junior High) as being particularly enjoyable. High School was an improvement, and College was soooo much better.
my niece would love these books.
These sound great.
The only good thing about middle school (well, actually, JUNIOR HIGH) for me was that I lived right across the street from the school– so if things got too annoying, I could always pop home for lunch. And I did, with great frequency. The combo of several hundred children with surging hormones is awful, and is one of the reasons why my child goes to private school– she will only have to deal with maybe 90 other kids with surging hormones, instead of 200-300 like what you get in public school.
Please choose me. I would like to have these. I remember my “frenemy” – we became enemies only because we entered middle school, and she wanted to “fit in.” It was so hard for me! I’m glad that I found true friends since then, though
neato!
Great prize! Thanks so much!
my daughter would love this gift.
I would like to give the clothes to my granddaughter.
My daughter would like this.
The word traumatic is only the tip of the iceberg!!!
love to win
These would be great for my granddaughter
Neat books
i loved it but it has changed a lot since then!
I have a 12 yr old daughter who would love these!
these will come in handy.
I work as a hotel night auditor. I have hours to sit and do nothing after the audit is done before going home each morning. I would really love these books to read during all the free time at work.
My daughter loves these.
middle school was easy
My daughter seems to being following my pattern in middle school. Friend and mediator to several different groups…the peacekeeper. I enjoyed not being part of only one group but a friend to all. She would love these….
my 9yr old loves to read
My middle school years were pretty decent. From what I remember. I don’t know if I just repressed all the bad. :p
i want to win
What a nice giveaway !! Thanks !!!
This is our daughter’s first year in Middle School, what a difference the social dynamics are from elementary for her. These books would probably help her out in some sticky situations.
Would love 4 my 10 year daughter and her friends.
I have 3 daughters and middle school has to be the worst time ,so many changes fo them.
Junior High was awful for me, but my 13-year-old says, “Middle School is not that bad.”
