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

Was fortunate enough to have good teachers and friends so it was mostly enjoyable. I sometimes joke that I peaked in middle school, when I finally came out of my shell enough to have meaningful friendships, but had still yet to experience any sort of academic-related stress.
I would say it was alright. I may not have had many friends, but that extra time I had allowed me to get into programming with JavaScript and Python.

I threw up every morning from anxiety.
It sucked. My worst experiences grades 1-12 were in middle school.
Worst years of my life. Some par for the course, some not. For example, it probably didn’t help that my school district was going through a reorganization and I went to 4 different schools in 4 years (grades 6-9).
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.
It was alright
I tried to kill myself then
I liked middle school. People were nice. Teachers cared. We managed to have some fun too. it was a break from the constant bullying at the school before. They had mean teachers too. High school was pretty bad for me. So, while middle school wasn’t everything I hoped it would be. It was better than both what came before and what came after.
Is that equivalent to years 7 to 9? I don’t want to share too many details online, but safe to say those years were not a good experience for me.
@TheLeadenSea @therealverobiscuit Let’s just say that’s when I learned that any problems from a lack of SEN funding can be solved by punching teachers to the ground.
Well, one time a bunch of kids hit me and beat me with sticks like i was a piñata then they pushed me into the street whilst a truck was driving towards me. And the teachers didn’t do jack squat about it because they didn’t see it happen.
So no, Middle School was awful
Mostly spent time alone, I was too naive to understand how broken I really was, would be nice to back to that

I went to catholic school till 8th grade and was pretty introverted as a kid. So mostly bad but it basically got better really as I got older and high school was much better. I went from being the geek of the class to being in a group of geeks at a school.
Same but extroverted; if you weren’t a bully or hot it was just as bad
I’d say end of Sophmore year of HS it got better after initially being much worse, and went up from there; but looking back that might just be the bio-male “period of confident invinciblity”
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.
