Middle and High School Transitions

Embarking on the journey to middle school or high school marks a pivotal moment in an adolescent’s life, bringing challenges of new environments and the complexities of growing up. This critical transition, especially during the years around 10 to 14, demands special attention to wellbeing. Research highlights how moves to middle and high school can be tumultuous, leaving many adolescents feeling more vulnerable than empowered.
With common stressors like bullying, academic pressures, and the quest for peer acceptance, it’s no surprise that some adolescents face loneliness, disciplinary issues, and declines in both academic performance and personal happiness.
