How I Survived Middle School: Can You Get an F in Lunch?
How I Survived...

How I Survived Middle School is about a girl named Jenny and how she survived her first year in middle school (grade six). It's about how she starts losing her friend Addie but then makes better, more committed friends that wouldn't cast her aside just to be popular. It's a definite girls-only read that boys probably wouldn't care to read. (It's got lots of stuff about makeup and clothes in it.) It's by Nancy Krulik. I recommend it to anyone who is suffering middle school like I am.

My middle name is MacKenzie!!! Laughing Unlike you, though, I uppercase the "K", for no apparent reason.... Actually, I think it was spelled like that on my birth certificate!Embarassed

Supposedly, some person in China named their kid @.  Isn't that wierd???  Could you imagine going up to people and saying, "Hi, I'm @!"?????  Poor kid...

I always thought 'authorized personal' would be a cool name.  You know, so that they could go in all those secret places that say 'authorized personal only.' But they might get teased for it. Hmmm...

I knew a kid who's first name started with a 'S', his middle name started with a 'T', and his last name was Bernard.  S.T. Bernard!!  He did get made fun of, though.....

I know a girl who's first name starts with an 'S'. Her middle name starts with an 'D'. Her last name starts with an 'P'. "SPD" kids would say. They'd switch around the 'D' and 'P' and make it SPD, the name of a super hero group. I feel so bad for her. She's sooooo nice to everyone else, but their not nice back. I would never do it to her. She's one of my BFF's. If only I could chop the other kids heads off.
