Answer
This Tuesday??? And I thought my school started early...
What to Wear:
As you may or may not know, Aeropostale and Hollister are very popular (Although Hollister is usually associated with preppy people). You can also get clothes from stores like Justice and Limited Too. I really like their outfits.

Hairstyles:
It really depends on your type of hair. Ponytails are simple and cute and French braids look nice. Also, messy up-dos add kind of a tomboyish look to your outfit. Layers are also really cute, and you can't go wrong with having your hair down and adding a barrette or headband can give it that extra flair (But I wouldn't recommend having both in at the same time).
PE:
Clothes for PE really aren't a big deal at my school unless you HAVE to change. We just wear our clothes that we're wearing that day. Everyone knows to dress comfortably when you do have PE because no one wants to be running around in something really hot.
The only thing that is REALLY stressed by my teacher, is to wear the right shoes. This one girl never wore tennis shoes, and my PE teacher just kept taking points off and her grade went from an A to a C. They really don't kid around about the shoe thing. Actually the two others there don't kid around about anything, because most of the time they don't really care. The only shoes that are basically acceptable besides regular tennis shoes are Converse and Sperrys (Maybe Crocs, but I'm not sure).
Backpack:
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by one shoulder. But, what I can tell you is that when you do buy your backpack to be sure that it has plenty of room. And I think I know what backpack you're talking about now and I can't tell you that those types of bags will not be big enough. You have to have room for binders, notebooks, textbooks, pencil pouches, and folders. And plus, all that weight on only one shoulder can really hurt you. I would suggest getting a backpack from LL Bean. In fact, I can give you a link to the exact one I'm going to get. It has a lot of space and it's perfect for middle-schoolers like us.

That's the type that I suggest, you don't have to get it in that color, but that's the color I like. :)
Shyness:
I used to be shy to. But middle school is when I came out of my shell. People used to think I was quiet. Now, when people say, "You're really quiet." my friends are always there and they're like, "Oh no she isn't!" So, I'm no longer considered to be quiet anymore.
What I did was simple. I just talked to people I had never really met before and tried to start a conversation with them. It worked! I also talked to my PE teacher, which talks way too much (Of course she thinks I talk too much) and she's like the coolest ever so that was good practice. And when you get other shy girls to talk, you end up becoming the talkative one. In my class last year, there was this girl that barely talked. So, I had to make her talk, and now she's one of my best friends.
So that's all the answers to all your questions. If you have any more questions, feel free to email me. I'm not sure what grade you're going into, I'm assuming 6th. I'm going into 7th and I know a lot about middle school so I can seriously help. Have a nice day!

Do you let your children play with TOY guns? If so what are your rules?
Therapist
WOW! I am suprised at how many moms do not! My boys do and we have similar rules as the rest. My husband goes hunting so .... how can I not? Moms that don't let your children, don't they use other things and 'pretend?' My son builds them out of legos and empty wrapping paper tubes and he has guns...
Answer
Good for you! I see nothing wrong with playing with toy guns.
Here's an excerpt from a short story I wrote that presents my feelings on the subject. Thank you for being a good mom.
Epilogue
Between the late nineteen-forties and early nineteen-sixties there were over one hundred and twenty westerns on television. Today there is only one, thanks in part to the cable networks which have opened many other avenues for writers and producers to aire their work. Of all those shows I remember only a handful. My favorites were 'Gunsmoke', and 'Maverick', but I also remember fondly many of the westerns produced by Warner Brothers that aired on the ABC network. A list of them, and a few others, follows this epilogue.
To say that those shows greatly influenced me, and the person I became, would be an understatement. Although my great-grandparents, particularly Big Dick, played a major role in the development of my personal integrity, those television shows contributed as well. As television in those days was black and white, so were the
characters. You always knew who the bad guys and the good guys were. There was no ambiguity, and even though you knew Bret Maverick would rather play poker than fight, you also knew that when the chips were down he would always do the right thing. That was true of all the other marshals, sheriffs, deputies, rangers, drifters and other heroes that rode or ambled or moseyed across the small screen. You could be sure that by the time the last commercial was over, the bad guys had all been killed, hanged or punished according to the Law Of The West, and that the good guys would ride back next week to bring yet more villains to justice.
Does anyone today give or buy toy guns for their children? In this age of political correctness, where a policy of zero tolerance allows school officials to expel children for having an aspirin in their backpacks, or for carrying a key chain that is an inch too long and violates some mindless, arbitrary policy? I doubt it! Or does anyone really care that personal integrity is routinely bartered for political, social, or economic gain? I doubt that also.
It seems to be okay for kids to play computer games more violent than any backyard game we played as cowboys and indians, or westerns we watched. Is a cap pistol that produces a short pop and a puff of smoke, so different, so much more dangerous than a mouse or joystick, that with the push of a button sprays gallons of vivid, virtual blood and guts all over a nineteen inch monitor or fifty-five inch, high definition plasma television screen?
If I had kids today, I would give them cap guns and cowboy clothes and send them to play in the back yard, and lock up the computer hardware and software. It would pr
