How do I handle post elementary school?
In elementary school I never had any of these hassles. I didn’t really have many friends,only around 3 in each grade,we were only in school friends,and I had a friend for four grades straight. But,they weren’t mean or anything,I didn’t really even believe bullies existed until I entered Middle School.
All my teachers liked me,I was a role model student. I was friends with most of my teachers.
Anyway,I entered middle school two years ago. But,I’ve been in home-instruction since last October,and haven’t been at my middle school since last February.
I’m planning on not going back to go to school for two years,when I’m going to enter High School. I should be fifteen by then.

I had a bad middle school experience,though I only went there for around six months.
I don’t exactly have a (working) printer right now,so I have to use my local library’s PC. In elementary we always wrote stuff by hand,so..
I’m rather shy,and I usually get too embarrassed to ask my parents to drop me off at the library,which is directly under my building. My grade’s weren’t very good due to that,and my ELA,and math teachers,were just..Mean-strict. No student really liked them much.
I don’t handle strictness very well.
Also,I’m not very good at making friends,I usually wait until friends come to me(usually we are at the same table,or we are assigned a project together).
In sixth grade,I had these two best friends. We met the usual way I make friends,they talked to me..Well,one of them talked to me,her cousin hated me(though,I did have a crush on her…). They seemed friendly for the first few months,then they became annoying,then just plain mean. They kept on saying I weren’t there friends,when I said they were my best friends and,they were just teasing me,but that would get me frustrated. I never cried,or got sad,or anything though.
:/
Anyway,what do I do?

You should go out some more and get over your shyness. You need to learn how to deal with rejection and make yourself noticed. Try making friends by talking more and being noticed out side of school to. Not by people coming to you. Go to people instead. Hope this helps.
