School Blues

Dear Dr. Sadie,

I just started at a new school, and I don't like it. Every morning I wake up and I don't want to go to school. Once I get there, I have a good time, but I am filled with anxiety before I go. What should I do?

You should probably go to another school. Maybe you should go to middle school. A middle school is what big kids go to. When you go to middle school you have to be brave. Middle school is lots of fun. Everyone plays and has fun. You go to recess and have snack afterwards. That sounds like a good school to me.
