These are all great responses and school getting sooo much closer he gets more nervous, but today we will sit down and talk. I have to work with him and let him read more postings on this... Thanks to everyone for all your comments, suggestions.
Joe, I think you misunderstood what ms61star was saying....they weren't talking about getting involved in a Drama Club, but staying OUT of the "drama" that often is experienced by middle schoolers (I believe ms61star was talking about not getting caught up in "cliques" and similar issues where kids jockey for status.)
Love this response from a middle schooler. Gets right to the heart of the matter. Find a group of kids you feel comfortable with who support and encourage you. Often the drama club or class has a wonderful group of supportive kids who enjoy spending time together both during and after the school day.
Here are a few additional articles on making a successful transition to middle school. Enjoy! bit.ly/17PPwU bit.ly/b2DiO
