Ah, middle school. I'll try to think of whatever I can... Suggest that he do what I did and approach others and new assignments with optimism. It gives you a consistent "I can do this" mindset, and other people will have a good impression of you. I was polite to everybody I met, or at least tried to be, and suddenly I found myself on the good sides of what other considered the "preppy" students. I made an enemy in a rude girl named Katelyn who kept asking me to draw porn, but I dealt with that by just knowing when to stay away from her. Trying to look bold or edgy unnecessarily is only going to end in disaster. Most importantly, relationships in middle/high school don't last that long, especially not at these ages. It's good to be in love, but don't get taken advantage of.
