I'm an eighth grader, and was basically just like you. Don't try to fit in with 'popular' people. A lot of times 'popular' kids are a******s and might pressure people into things that aren't right. Don't stress over grades that much. Do you're best, retake tests (if you can), but mainly focus on friends. Don't be afraid to stand your ground if you're getting bullied or teased, it happens to everyone, and don't get involved in petty drama. Don't surround yourself with toxic people. Don't do drugs, smoke, vape, whatever preteens and teenagers try to get people to do. It'll just affect you later. Be yourself. Don't be fake, don't have fake friends. You'll be fine. Middle school sucks, but if you surround yourself with good people you'll have a great time. Good luck.
