You're awkward and unpopular. People, especially other girls, are terribly mean. All that new information your parents don't really want you knowing yet bombards you in the halls. And there's that colorful language you've never even heard before but discover it is wildly inappropriate when you try to use it at home and get in tons of trouble with your shocked and dismayed mother. The snotty attitudes you see other kids easily display at school don't go over well at your home. You stay grounded for much of the year. AND add to that the fact that you never even went to 5th grade and your last school was a tiny private school with a handful of students in your 4th grade class; now there are hundreds in your grade.
There are about three months of 6th grade left. Keaton and Mom are hoping they make it.

I can't even imagine! We've been somewhat "spoiled" by our little private school. Thank goodness or else they would have known this stuff soooo much earlier!! I will keep praying for you both! Only 3 more months left!! You can do it!

We have the same problems at our house and we attend our church school! It started for my daughter last year. It shocks me every day how awful some of the girls can be. It's like all the effort I spent building my daughter up for 12 years is undone in a second by her classmates. I will include your daughter in my daily prayers. Come on Summer Break!
Oh, dear! My DD is 11, and will be in 6th grade next year. Oh dear!! I'd better start praying NOW!!
What a beautiful young lady you have! I pray that she has the confidence that God has placed her in this place at this time for His purpose. She could be an Esther or a Joseph. You just never know....
I am in 8th grade now, and 6th grade was horribal for me. leaving elementry school, entering middleschool. i was the pit of unpopularity, unlike at my oldschool. alot happens in grade six, alot of friends are made, and a alot are lost too. it was a tough year. i wasent exepted well, a lanky weird girl, in dark clothes. wasent very social. but now i have a group of good friends, and together, we handle anything coming our way.
good luck with the rest of the school year, and next year will be better. also, its almost summer! yay!
