Features: This series of "Self-Help Books for Middle School Students" is designed to assist middle school students in self-help, enabling them to learn how to solve and regulate their own psychological issues, thereby gradually moving toward maturity and independence. The middle school years are a golden age, a joyful era, a vibrant and colorful time, but they are also an age of confusion and conflict. During adolescence, middle school students experience physical development that gradually matures, yet their psychological growth lags far behind, creating an awkward situation often described as the "in-between" stage. Some psychological issues may manifest in certain middle school students during this "in-between" period. Of course, most of these are merely a sense of confusion or uncertainty during the growth process. However, since psychological issues are dynamic and have a cumulative effect, they may suddenly erupt when encountering specific circumstances or triggers. Therefore, when middle school students face confusion and conflict, they need more guidance, direction, and enlightenment. So, how can effective psychological counseling be provided to middle school students? We establish the basic principles of psychological counseling for middle school students as: helping, mutual help, and self-help. Ultimately, both helping and mutual help must be achieved through self-help to achieve the desired psychological counseling outcomes.
