What 8th Graders Think About Their 8th Grade Year

The first person i asked about how their 8th grade year has been was Maci.

I asked her if 8th grade has been her best year in middle school, she answered saying..

” No, 7th grade was my best year. I liked my classes more than the classes i have now. ”

When i asked her what she likes best about this year and she replied with..

” The beginning of my 8th grade was pretty good, i also like the Power Tuesdays, they teach a new lesson about life every Power Tuesday. ”

Next, i asked if there was something she would of done better if she had a chance to, she responded by saying..

” I would of want way better grades because my grades aren’t the best. And they can be way better then what they are now. ”

Then i wondered what high school shes going to. Shes attending Northeast with the rockets.

At last i asked if there was something she would want Dawes Middle School to improve she said..

” Something i would want Dawes to improve are the classes not all but some. I wish we would do things i actually like. I’m going to miss the teachers though. “

Bullying

” Remind yourself its okay not to be perfect. ”

Hannah Hackstadt thinks bullying is ” Really mean and nobody deserves to be bullied because nobody’s perfect and people have to accept that. ”

We asked how she would feel if she was the one getting bullied and she responded saying ” I would get sad , but i wouldn’t let them get as far as for me to self harm myself. ” She also said that who ever is getting bullied ” Stay strong and don’t believe anything they say because it’s not true!”

Rachel Rockemann wrote a poem and we would like to include it ” Even when you’re down because someone bullied you, dont let it get you to far away to the point where you cant be helped or where you dont want any help. Because you could push yourself away from the world and lose touch with your friends. You could be dead cause of suicide and no one would know about it at all. Speak up for yourself and dont let bullying bring you down. Be nice to others and they will be nice to you. ”
