Miss Smackers,

Well, Lip Smackers, of course!!!! Your lips will look awesome and you'll smell great, too! Also, some great basics to keep in your bag and/or locker are Lip Gloss, natural like a Lip Smacker or one with a light, glossy tint. Mascara is good to open and define your eyes without looking overly make up. And pick an eyeshadow case with four colors to choose from (a girl needs some variety!). A quick sweep of color on the lids will brighten your face. These simple items will freshen you up with out looking like your drowning in make-up. You can find all these items at bonnebell.com and lipsmackers.com. There is so much to choose from. As far as other tips from middle school (or any school). The best one I can give you is to be excited. Just expect that it is going to be great. When you just believe that things will be awesome, you have a much better chance that they will be. The power of thinking positive!!! LSL girls - let's here your tips. Especially from those who have been there, done that!!! XXOO!!!

i'm going to 7th grade so i know how u feel. Be urself don't take crap from anyone. don't join the wrong crowd and stay away from trouble! alot of problems may come between u and ur group of friends. don't let them. stay true to urself. mascara and lipgloss is all u need. u dont really need it in 6th grade cuz no1 will notice but if they do they'll do a double take. tampons and pads definately. trust me it is soooo not fun to get ur period in the middle of cl___. fun vibrant colors and make a fashion statment. it's not right but ppl will judge u on ur close and u need to impress. don't give the wronng impression through clothes. it'll hurt u in the long run. and boys. my god there will be cute ones and just plain horrible ones. but watever u do dont get a boyfriend now! i know alot of ppl that went wrong that way. a LOT of ppl. and always have energy funk and the right additude! hope ur year goes ok and i hope i helped!!! ; ]

im going to the 7th grade to but my elem. school only went up to the 5th ok so this is what you will need

a cute bag to express who you are don't pay attention to what other people say about it most likely it's because they wish they had it

binder most schools like 3 inch 1's with notbooks in it 1 for every class

notbook paper just incase you want to jot down notes in class

a good book just incase you have freetime in class

pens even red ones teachers like to have you correct other peers work

chapstick trust me there have been many times were i was caught off gaurd with chaplips

scissors you think you may not need them but there will be many times you wish you had 1 a little lipsmackers eyeliner and mascara should be fine

a sweatshirt IN YOUR BACKPACK becuase you might have to stay after school and they might not premit you back in your locker after school hours

your personal items such as pad tampons never know a brush could come in handy oh and a tiny mirror

a water bottle for p.e



folders

the first day isnt that bad and also look on the school website for the map of the school so you know were your classes are good luck!!!

teensbeens (MN)  says: August 4th, 2010 at 2:19pm EST
and put in pads and tampons just in case and dont forget your calculator!

teensbeens (MN)  says: August 4th, 2010 at 2:18pm EST
well im going into junior high and my sister said that u can cary around a small purse or a pencil pouch

teamjacobrox101 (CT)  says: August 2nd, 2010 at 6:50pm EST
I'm goin into Middle Skewl, too! Remember: STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF!!! Don't let rude, judgemental girls or boys ruin who YOU are! Also, make your locker a part of you, not just a cluttered space that had gum stuck to the shelf. I'm putting in all things purple. Purple mirror, purple dry-earase board, purple locker caddy, purple EVERYTHING!! Also, personalize your binders and notebooks. I'm on Team Jacob for Twilight, so I got a notebook that says I (heart) Jacob on the cover. I got my binders in my fav. colors. Little things like this will help you keep your head above water, while not having to change for anyone but yourself. Try your best to stay organized, and do your best! Oh, and remember who yuor true friends are. There are so many backstabbers out there, I've been there ,done that. It isn't fun at all!!! Good luck!!

skamps123 (AZ)  says: August 1st, 2010 at 8:32pm EST
In my district, we don't have middle school. We have elementary(K-6), Junior High(7-8), and High School(9-12). I'm going into 6th grade and I am bummed that I don't get to go into middle school cuz I'm getting tired of my elem. school. 1 more year.



BTW, we don't have lockers in our junior of high schools.

REASON: People put BAD stuff in there.



Good luck! Oh, and here is my advice:



1. Get a backpack that expresses your personality. Do NOT get a tote bag, they put all of the weight on one shoulder and it can be painful.



2. Get a binder, and on the front, express yourself by putting pix, peace signs, etc. on it.



3. If you have a cell phone, get a little case to put it in so you don't lose it if your backpack is messy. You can also put some money in that pouch, too.



4. Bring PADS or TAMPONS. You never want to be caught off guard. Also, bring some underwear, too.



5. Chapstick. You have to remember this cuz your lips will hurt all day if you forget(you can put this in the pouch that holds your cell and money).



6. Water Bottle. This is VERY important. You want to keep hydrated so you don't get sick.



MIDDLE SCHOOL PROBLEMS(WHAT TO DO IF):



THE 'POPULAR' GIRLS PICK ON YOU: Just take deep breaths and walk away. They probably created the 'popularity' list, so don't take it the wrong way. They ALWAYS want to be on top.



IF YOUR PERIOD HAPPENS AND YOU ARE UNPREPARED:

Go to the school nurse. She will have plenty of pads/tampons for you.



Good luck!

sid_is_kool (AU)  says: July 20th, 2010 at 8:17am EST
just a warning: If u havet started ur period yet make sure u have pads, tampons are hard wen u first start. U can have them but i think pads are best at first.

sid_is_kool (AU)  says: July 20th, 2010 at 8:08am EST
I am in middle skool and u need to make sure u keep pads/tampons in your locker. Even though u can go to teachers it is less embar___ing if u have your own :D good luck, middle skool is awesome

Pinkmorg6,
I am not so sure my advice will help but you are a beautiful soul. Don't listen to what the "popular" people say. Just dab on your favorite lipsmacker, flip your hair smoothly and smile with radiant shine and confidence! Don't be afraid to get out there and show the inner you! But be wise and sweet while doing that. You can make friends like all these wonderful girls here on lipsmacker.com if you express yourself! I have grace in you. :) the "popular" kids don't know what an amazing,gorgeous girl you are and we will soon be young ladies. Make a list of goals, then decorate it and put it up on your mirror,locker,wall,etc. Make a list of things you are grateful for then put it up and decorate. :)) pamper yourself regularly even with homeade products! Maybe a bubble bath, a facial, and a hair treatment? Whatever suits you which is maybe a lip scrub and a mani pedi. But whatever happens always stay rue to your heart and your family and the lord. Last, smile. :) god bless girl :)

Macy Star (IN)  says: July 19th, 2010 at 6:16pm EST
Well I'm going in to middle skull to I think that u should keep a small cosmetic case in ur locker full of pads tampons bandaids and a coulpe alcohol wipes also keep ur fav chapstick lip gloss and an eyeshadow that compliments ur skin tone(mine would b a goldish color) oh and personality wise just be ur self and if u wanna fit in don't by ur jeans before u no wat everyone else is wearing

Middle school is amazing! I'm going into 8th grade and this is what I have 2 say: 

Don't get a tote bag because you have to carry a bunch of textbooks and it gets heavy

Keep some perfume in your gym locker for after gym

Use a notebook to keep all of your notes in

Get a whiteboard for your locker, write everything you have to bring home for that night. 

Keep a sweatshirt in your locker. 

Organize your locker by the cl___es. (for example: if 1st period is social studies put social studies first in your locker then 2nd period...math then put math stuff...)

Keep lipgloss in your locker

Stay organized

Keep some extra (or emergency!) tampons/pads somewhere 

Turn your phone off!

Good luck!

Oooh this is a good one! Im going into Middle School aswell, and Im REALLY excited! (maybe too exicted tho, lol) I would love to hear some tips from everyone aswell about Middle School. I already have been planning what I need to have....



1. A BACKpack. Of course, this is the obvious. But I just wanted to tell you that it will probably be way more helpful to have an actual backpack then a rolly one, because it will be mush easier to get from class to class this way, and it will fit in your locker easily. (yes at my school we have big lockers (we had a tour of MS so i would know lol) so we can put our packpacks inside)



2. A pencil case- Cant have everything flying around in your backpack! Keep all your writing materials in a pencil case!



3. Notebooks and Folders- choose one for each su__et. Make sure you know how many su__ects you have, so you will know how many notebooks/folders to buy. Buy notebooks/folders in different colors, each color representing one su__et. For example, blue notebook and folder for math, and yellow notebook and folder for science etc.



4. Pens, Pencils, Gellies, and Highlighters- Make sur eyou have plenty of these. Buy Pens in 4 colors. Black, Blue, Green, Red. Make sure you have 5 of each. Buy at least 10 pencils, and keep some in your locker and some in your pencil case. (do the same with the pens) Gellies are just fun to have to write down notes and important facts. They are fun to write with and fun to look at! And highlighters aswell. Get at least two.



5. Money- Bring money with you, for snacks and vending machines, (if your school has them, which mine does) if you egt hungry. Even if your dont have them at your school, bring the money anyway, for emergencies.



6. Waterbottle- You might get thirsty at any given time, always a good idea to carry some water with you!



7. Hand Sanitizer- Its not easy to go to the bathroom all the time and wash your hand, so after every 2 cl___es, I suggest you use some hand sanitizer to keep off those germies!



8. Pads and/or Tampons- you HAVE to have these on hand. I got my . at a very unexpected time, and beliebe (yes, beliebe im a bieber fan ;)me, its not comfortable. So have it on hand at any time.



9. Chapstick- Have two chapsticks. One for in your locker, and one for in your backpack. Nothings worse than chapped lips!



10. Tissues and Band aids- Tissues are important for minor cuts or when ya sneeze (lol). They are just handy to have for any little emergency. Band aids are good to have too, because its not fun having to drag yourself all the time to the nurse just bcuz you got a little cut. Have some in your locker and some in your backack!



Well that was pretty much it for the supply list...now for the makeup. I suggest chapstick and lipgloss, some concealer and foundation, and maybe some blush. Thats it, nothing on the eyes. Hope it helped!

I do not really like makeup. It takes away your natural beauty. But Lipsmackers is fine!

MAKE-UP

WATER PROFF MASCERA!!

If your day is not as fab as you wanted it to be you can at least look fab when you cry, sweet, sneeze, or whenever you eyes water.



Chap-Stick or Lip gloss

Make you pencil case a place were you store your lip-gloss or make up!



An extra set of clothes

You NEVER know what might happen



as far as school supplies IDK, but your school should send out a sheet of what school supplies you need!



A cute Bag

Your bag and locker is where you show YOU! So let it be stylin!



Here are a few thing you should also take



1 Water



2. Jacket



3 Money



4 Snack



5. extra pens and pencils



6.You bright personality and SMILE

I would have a tote bag as a backpack if you have scoliosis, like me. They have really cute ones at Hollister and Aeropostale although Hollister's cost more but tend to last longer. I would also go to take a tour because I moved and I was TOTALLY scared so like 3 weeks ago I took a tour and I felt so better.

teacherspet679 (NY)  says: July 4th, 2010 at 1:57pm EST
cutiecouture is right except i recommmend wearing a bit of makeup maybe just eyeliner and mascara to bring your eyes out and cutiecouture is right. hope this works.

love and kisses,teacherspet679


cutiecouture94 (FL)  says: July 4th, 2010 at 11:19am EST
Well, sorry to say but i dont recommmend wearing makeup..just be yourself.

1.) Pencils

2.) Pads, Tampons- Just incase!

3.) ChapStick

4.) Scissors

5.) Extra paper

6.) Folders

7.) Keep a sweatshirt in your locker in case it gets chilly.

8.) Waterbottle

9.) Just know, that the first day isnt always so great but things will get better! (:

10.) If the school provides you with a school supplies list, get everything tht it tells you to get

11.) A cute jansport backpack! They're really good bags and come in a variety of colors and patterns!

Good luck!!
