The friendship section talks about making and keeping friends. The final section is on not only how to avoid negative peer pressure but how to create positive peer pressure. All of these topics are relevant to middle school students as well as Jr hi however parents may want to read the book with middle school students to make sure they get the most out of it.
Book helped me

I used this book to help me do better in school. I go to a small Christian school and we did each chapter together. Then I reread the book at home. It helped me know how to take notes, study for tests, and make better friends. I think if you are in middle school or junior high school you should read this book. Have a parent read it with you too.

As both a teacher and mother I find this a valuable resource for students. Although the book is listed for ages 10-14, it is of benefit for any jr high or sr high student.The Jr High Survival Manual offers practical suggestions about goal setting, time management, test taking, adjusting to a new school, making friends, handling peer pressure and decision making.Along with relevant material, the book has cartoon drawings, scripture and interactive pages for the reader.I would recommend the book for all jr high students as well as teachers, youth workers and counselors.
