Why is it so hard for middle school boys to make the transition to high school? Well first of all why did it have to be boys ha ha. Well School for sixth- to eighth-graders, or middle school, is a tough time for many kids. It's an awkward phase for kids, and some children are especially mean at this time. It's when many kids hit puberty, as well as when cliques are formed and popularity contests begin. While middle school is a miserable experience for some, luckily it's a short period of time to survive and is over quickly. That's for all of us.
Well, I don’t know I’m a girl. But I’ll take a stab at it. I think one reason is that the environment is completely different. When you have spent three years at one place, and you learn how everything is done. You tend to form an attachment. Theoretically speaking, everyone can’t wait to go to high school. But, once you’re here it might not be as glamorous as it may have seemed. Especially when it goes from you knowing everyone, and everyone knowing you. To only recognizing about ten faces. It’s basically like starting first grade all over again. You have to get make new friends, and introduce yourself, ect. Which is why I think, that this transition is hard for everyone, not just boys.
Guys are so immature so I guess they have a hard time changing into high school. Many boys hates changes and they miss their old school, or old friends. However, I am not a guy so I am not completely positive.
Guys are weird and have a hard time doing many things. Switching schools gives many people a hard time. Though guys being so immature I feel has a great deal to do with it.
High school is hard for many people, and it is just harder for guys than girls. Next time I think about it, I will ask one of my guy friends this question.
I dont see anything wrong with my transition. Talking to people(girls) like its nothing. If you see problems, they must be from other people. Some people cant make the switch as well as i can. Plus they're used to being on top in 8th grade because i know i was. I was a perfect student until i hit 8th grade. Started getting referrals and other discipline notes. And coming to high school i recognized that i had to regain the ability to goof off whenever i felt like it and still do good in class. It may be hard because you used to be the tallest in the school and then have to look up to everyone. Like how did these guys get like 6 feet tall. Even some girls are like skyscrapers.
I think that it is hard for middle school boys to transition because they have a routine. In middle school, guys have their place with their friends of who's boss and who's the big shot etc. When they come to High School, they have to earn their place again to become what they used to be.
Also, I believe that boys have a harder time branching out to talk to people than girls. Most girls will talk to anyone and make friends because most girls are friendlier than boys. Males have a tendency to stay within one clique, just as much as girls do.
Boys go through this immature stage where they think that acting out looks cute. they try to show off. When guys get into High School and try to do that, people tell them that they're being dumb but they really don't care. They have to make that transition to where they are immature, to where they have a different outlook on things and not just an 'I DON'T CARE' attitude.
I think it is hard for boys to transition from middle school to high school. They thought when they were in eight grade they were the best. When they got to high school all the guys here showed them who's who.Most of the guys I know still act real immature and I wonder if they will ever grow up. Some of the guys think acting the way they do is so cool when it's not. They just look stupid.Guys need to learn how to grow up. They need to start acting there age.
I don't think it is hard for boys to transition to high school. Because it was not hard for me. But other people had a hard time. It is easy for me to meet new people. And I would not have a problem with changing schools now. When I transition to Mayo I was excited because I could meet new people from other Darlington county schools. If I just kept my old friends they would probably get boring to me. Many of my new friends now, are from Darlington. And I am very glad I met them.
I'm not a boy so I'm going to answer this from a girls point of view.I think that it is hard for middle school boys to transition to high school because they are not used to being in such a big environment.
Boys are ALWAYS playing around and it must be overwhelming to be in a much bigger place and getting used to the fact that they are less likely to get in trouble considering the teachers aren't always watching every more that they make.
I would think that it must not be too hard for boys to transition over to high school because us girls did and we had no problem doing it, from my point of view.
It is hard for middle school boys to make the transition from middle school to high school. This takes us a long time because we are all use to playing around in class and acting like little kids becuase thats what people excpected of us. But now that we are in high school, people like for us to act mature and for us to be "Mayo Men" I try to act like a "Mayo Men", but Mrs. Miller thinks I am childish. I like to act childish because it is fun. You get to do all the things that old people cant do, so I embrace my childhood and try to make it last as long as I can. Sometimes I wonder why adults tell you to cherish it while it last, when you say you want to grow up, but then when you act childish they tell you to grow up. That aggravates me. This is my response to your question Mrs. Miller and this is my favorite question that you asked.
I think its hard for middle boys to move to high school because they still have that childish state of mind.For one, when they were in high school they played around and nobody really said nothing to them bout it. Then boys are childish so what do you except.Boys just need more time to grow up so they have a child like state of mind and don't think about there actions.Boys are very playful and it takes them awhile to realize how to act.Boys go through this immature stage where they think that acting out looks cute.But, really its an stupid immature thing for them to do.Another thing is thats it is a time where there thinking very childish and their minds is set on one thing.
In high school and middle school is totally diffrent. Boys just aren't mature. They don't want to grow up. They always want to play. They think everything is a joke. In middle school things were alot easier and now alot of them don't try their hardest when they should. I guess they only adjust when they want to. They have to want to grow up on their own. They have to stop thinking everything is a joke. It's time to get serious. Mayo is no joke at all and they need to grow up and get with it. There's nothing wrong with playing sometimes but not all the time. There's a time for games and a time to work. Some people just have to learn that the hard way. They will get out of their imature stage soon i hope.
It is hard for guys because they are used to being with a younger age group. They are used to not caring what others think. In high school, you have to be aware that you are with older people.
Ninth grade guys are usually really immature. But with time comes maturity. Guys will soon see their childish ways.
It is not hard for girls because they have matured more quickly.
I know that i am a girl but im going to try to answer this question. I think that it is hard for guys to move into high school because of two reasons. You can get into more trouble when you are in high school, and you are not the coolest kid on the block anymore and there are people that you are jealous of for this matter.
When I said you get in more trouble in high school its so true. In middle school, when you did something wrong you got a warning and nothing else really because you are little and you do not know better. But in high school you are expected to be older and more responsible. They do not tolerate all the horse playing.
And there are guys that are better than them but they don't want to admit it. They are used to being cool, and being with all those younger kids but when they get into High School, it is an entire different story. It makes them mad because they aren't as cool anymore.
Many boy have hard time changing went they go into high school. I really think I know why. Some people may think this may not be the problem but I think it is.
I think that boy scant make the transition because they think that a lot of the things they use to do at middle school is cool but which it is not for the upper upperclassman. All so some may not have hit puberty yet and they don’t know what it means like to be mature. So, they just try to act the way they now how which is the way they always knew since middle school.
I really think this is why boys can’t make the transition from middle school too high school. So, will it be similar when they make the transition from high school to college.
It is and was a hard transition for me to go from the middle school to the high school. The work is very different when you get over to the high school but it gets easier. But I have been through this process and know why it is.
It is hard to change schools because of all the work that is suddenly piled on to us in the first days being there. Students form the middle school are not use to this amount and feel overwhelmed. But it does not take long to get use to all of the work assigned.
Though some of it can be of some difficulty. But this is really the main reason as to why it is hard to change from the middle school to the high school. Like it will be for the next students that come next year.
Making the transition from Middle School to high school was a tad hard because I was so use to playing and messing around in class. Now, this is the real deal. You have to give 110% in high school or your going to pay the consequences of not going to college and later on not getting a job. This is a hard transition.
Coming to High School from the Middle School, I wouldn't say was hard for me but I would say it was a little complicated.
It was complicated because I did not know we were going to be doing this much work. The work here is very difficult. But, I sucked it up and now I am on the A/B honor roll.
Personality wise, I did real good coming from the Middle School. I saw myself transitioning from a little kid into a young man or teenager. I still goof off but who doesn't? Most boys my age it takes a little more time for them to transition into young men. I think it depends on the person.
i think it is hard for boys to make the transition to high school from middle school because in middle school they were had their "roles." Boys also thought they were the best at middle school because they thought they were so cool since they were the oldest in middle school.
In middle school boys would get warnings and warnings, but never truly got in trouble. well welcome to high school boys, when you get in trouble here, you get in trouble.
Also when they enter high school, they figure out that there are boys that have been there a while, like the seniors who are better than them. so therefore i thats why i think they have a hard time making the transition.
I really am not sure. I would say that boys have a hard time transitioning because they are so used to being in middle school and they are just not ready for the next step. It can be overwhelming.
Then again, boys can just be immature and just not want to mature. It can also be very difficult. Most of the boys I know are just lazy.
Boys can be aggravating in the way were they just will not listen. They are just so stubborn. It is just embarrassing sometime.

ReplyDeleteIt's because their immature. They act as if the world resolves around them. They think they're so cool that nothing can compete with them.
ReplyDeleteThey act like total weirdo's, and make you feel sorry for them. They are mean and bad to the teachers sometimes. They don't listen. It's just crazy.
Maybe that's why people really don't like boys in middle school. Because they are immature. Maybe I'm right.
