Middle school students are among the most difficult to understand as their emotions and behaviors are up and down. As a former principal of a middle school, there were days when I wondered how to survive. Yet they are great kids.
To mentor effectively you need to understand these behaviors and why they are occurring. You need to understand that thoughts, attitudes, etc., are just a part of their lives.
Mentoring these students also involves letting them talk while not dictating or being too aggressive with them. Listen, listen, listen. It works!
Good luck.
