I’m helping a school develop a website for personal and social resources for middle school students and their families. They want to be able to build a go-to place that students can visit for support in a variety of problems they could face. What resources, webpages, services should we include in this project?
You probably aren’t allowed to do this, but I think the most valuable thing for kids this age is proper sex ed classes! Not just the "this bit goes here" which they already know, but more of the emotional stuff. For example, a girl’s virginity does matter. If she says it doesn’t, she’s wrong and just doesn’t know it yet. What to look for in a partner, what to stay away from. How to ask someone out, how to refuse politely.
I daresay you can’t do this, but wouldn’t you have benefited if someone had taught you all this stuff instead of leaving you to make it up?

Add summer camp info for enrichment and experience.
A counseling page w/ FAQ’s for kids whose hormones are up and down during the middle school years.
Hope this helps…
