It really depends on what you feel comfortable wearing. When I was in 8th grade, I wore eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss. Sometimes I wore eyeshadow. But thats just me.

As for the parties, again, it depends. If its a casual party, jeans and a T-shirt can actually work. Try some distressed skinny jeans or a cool color. For shirts, Aeropostale has some really cool ones. If the party has a dressier feel, you con try wearing a dress. Forever 21 has REALLY adorable ones. Hope this helps!
