I'm Jeremy. Today we're going to be talking about middle school relationships. And we're going to be talking about how to manage school relationships such as dating. In my opinion, or from my point of view, I feel like middle school relationships are a big thing to take care of. Because especially you have to manage your grades, your scores, and everything. And a big part of time, it's just not worth it. Yeah, so knowing that you can actually handle relationships at that time instead of just putting all that pressure on you is a lot. I wouldn't recommend dating in middle school because it really gets to your mental health. Because I see a lot of people, I've heard a lot of people not in the right state of mind when they start dating in middle school. Many people date just because they have the name or just say, oh, that's my boyfriend, that's my girlfriend. But at the end of the day, this person that you are dating, they're not going to be with you in 10 years when it actually matters. And also, relationships have a big part and they cause drama. Such as, oh, a girl likes her boyfriend and she's kind of afraid to, or just such things as that. I think middle school relationships is really not a big deal for real. It takes away some of your time or whatever. And it is kind of unhealthy. The next thing we're going to be talking about is friendships. When managing friendships, it could be hard, it could be easy. But I wouldn't recommend having a lot of people being your friends. Just have a few close people in your circle. Having a lot of friends can be a lot of pressure. And you probably will experience having fake friends, friends that talk about you. And I would just say, just watch who you are friends with and watch who you tell things to. And make sure if you're talking mess or just doing all of that messy stuff, make sure you know who to tell it to. Because everything goes around real quick, especially in our school because we have a very small population of kids. And if you are one of those people to talk about people behind their back, I don't think it's a good image on you. I don't think that's good. Yeah, we've all been in a friendship that's big and stuff. And now we're going to be talking about what to do if you're not dating someone. If you're not dating someone, just focus on yourself, your grades, get your mental health in shape. Focusing on grades can be a better thing for you instead of just like, you know. Especially because grades are way more important than any of those little boys or girls or whatever. Because we can say that if they cheat or anything, at the end of the day, your grades aren't going to... I mean, it'll probably affect your grades, but your grades, you can actually do something better with it. Such as going to college, not having a student report, anything like that. Also, just worry about your mental state and grades. It's really going to help you. And also, dating people is really not that great or whatever. So it's kind of draining, especially when you're in school. And with all these rumors, you know, it's kind of scary dating people. Okay, now we're going to be talking about the student-teacher relationship. Respect for teachers. What it means to respect your teachers is to be aware of what you do, what you say to them. Respecting your teachers is a very big role play of going to school. Because your teachers, even though you really don't like their class or subject or anything, your teachers can really help you get better grades and go through stuff. Or if you ever need to talk to someone mentally, you can just talk to them. Having a good relationship with a teacher can affect you in so many ways. It can make you, if you ever need help, you can have a respectful teacher. Because you have a good relationship with that teacher. And even if you don't like the teacher, you still have to respect them. Because at the end of the day, that's an adult. And she's the one that's helping you with your grades. And she's the one that has to put your grades in. And also, your teachers can advocate for you. If someone spreads rumors about you, they can speak up and defend you. Because they know what type of student you are. And also, can't they give you a report if someone goes to a college or whatever? They can help you get into that college if you act right and respect people. Also, if you ever need to get your paper signed for a field trip or something, you know you have a good relationship with that teacher. And you're at least in their class. I think you should just overall make sure you have a good bond and connection with your teacher. It doesn't really matter. Like I said, it doesn't matter if it's a class meeting. Just make sure you have a good bond with the teacher. If anything, oh, if you turn in something late, they can give you extra time. How to better communicate with your teacher. When it comes to better communication with your teacher, it means communicate everything you're feeling. If you need help with any classwork, you can go to your teacher and ask. And if you're struggling with any words, just talk to them about it. Yeah, talk to your teacher about how you feel about the assignment and if you feel like you're doing good enough. Objects can help you when you really like certain things. Hmm? Having school rules is also a big thing in school because it will make sure you're not getting into any trouble and you can attend a lot of things like pep rallies, field trips, dances, whatever you want, incentives. So, yeah. And especially because it goes on your record and you don't want us to have a bad record when you're going into college. They can see that stuff follows you. And serving attention is kind of like boring. So I wouldn't recommend getting attention just to get one because it's not a good thing. Also, if you're getting in trouble or doing something, don't care about school. Let's just break the rules for fun with your friends. At the moment, you'll probably think it's fun and whatever, but when you get your finishment, you're not going to like it. You're really not going to like it. Yeah. And honestly, you know, like the saying, if you don't like something, you're not going to like it. I mean, your punishment, you're not going to like it. You're really not going to like it. Yeah. And honestly, you know, like the saying, like if you do it, if you do the crime, you pay the time. Technically, that means for school, like if you do, if you do the punishment, oh, wait. If you do, if you break the school rules, you get your punishment. Yeah, but that's all for today. And we'll see you in our next episode. Have a good day. Bye. Thank you. Bye.
