was middle school mostly good or bad for you?


had a middle school ex in seventh grade who called me a “weird bisexual” and “bowling ball /bowling ball stomach”. had another kid who was a popular girl spread a rumor abt me that i was a lesbian with a crush on her bc i asked for her number but stuttered saying it because i was very socially awkward. i was fat shamed sometimes in school and shamed bc ppl thought i was a lesbian because my ex-friend outed me when i said i had a crush on a girl

tl;dr:
At the start of middle school it was terrible, bullying and sadness but by the end I had lots of friends, self confidence, I was getting attention from girls, just a complete 180.

6th grade, awful. Bullied, insecure egg. Very depressed

7th grade I realized I was taller and bigger than most of the other kids. Parents made me play rec league basketball and I would foul out every game swinging on jocks I didn't like. I also got into guns, airsoft, paintball, hunting, and knives that year. People pretty much completely stopped messing with me and I made friends. Still a depressed egg but it was much more bearable only feeling bad because of what's in my head vs how other people treated me

8th grade I started dressing better. People sometimes would ask if I was emo if I wore all black but not in a bullying way. I had long hair and I started straightening it. I'd tell people I was metrosexual and somehow never got made fun to my face for it. I was still repping guns was identity and knocking people over, smacking kids playing basketball. Still a depressed egg tho

oh high school definately has an arc. It amazed me by senior year how I was casually talking with one of our all state track guy stars whle my claim to fame was science olympiad. Its like freshman year everyone is desperate to find a place to fit in so you get clicks and sophmores emphasize it even more really in relation to giving hell to freshmen and reveling in not being freshmen but then junior year everyone starts to get how sorta stupid it is and by senior year folks are just trying to figure out what to do with college or other after graduation plans.

School in general sucked for me. Getting bullied and treated like garbage from kindergarten all the way till graduation does that. Made me not want to touch any form of schooling for years afterwards. I'm only now, 13 years later, starting to slowly open up to the possibility of maybe studying something in a structured school environment one day when I'm rich enough to afford it.
