Mediation is an intervention in a dispute in order to resolve it! In middle school, kids sometimes have a hard time getting along. Things that I hear often are: "She gave me a dirty look." "He looked at me, whispered to someone else, and laughed. I know he is talking bad about me." "I heard her say something bad about me." "He called me a bad name." "She said that so-and-so said that so-and-so heard that so-and-so told so-and-so that I said "Shut up" to her but, I didn't. Now she is mad and not talking to me."
All these types of situations, and lots of others, can be solved if you just have a face-to-face conversation with the other person. I will be there as a "mediator", to keep both people involved safe and comfortable.
