About this ebook
The only survival guide a middle school kid will ever need.
It can be the best of times. It can be the worst of times, too. Middle school happens at that tumultuous time in life when one's not a teenager and not a little kid. Middle school means being a middle-aged kid. Expectations-from teachers, parents, friends, siblings-can all change dramatically, causing worry and concern even for the most laid-back student.
The Middle School Survival Guide covers every issue, inside school and out, from the most trivial concerns to the most serious issues that middle school students face today. Arlene Erlbach has assembled a teen advisory board of 200 kids between fifth and tenth grade who give advice about topics from cracking a locker combination, to dealing with multiple teachers, to sex and dating.

This book is EXTREMELY mature for the intended audience (11-14 years old). Parents need to review this book privately before their child reads it. My child brought it home (new) from the school library. This topic doesn't pertain to a parent being naive or over protective. This has graphic descriptions of subjects such as sexually intercourse, oral sex, abortions, wet dreams, opionated phrases such as "if she puts out". When I had to sign a permission slip for my child to learn about their own body in school last year to telling how every thing is done this year is very disturbing! Parents/teachers/librarians etc... please review before!!!
