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

I threw up every morning from anxiety.
It sucked. My worst experiences grades 1-12 were in middle school.
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
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
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).
Mostly spent time alone, I was too naive to understand how broken I really was, would be nice to back to that

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.
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.
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.
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
Honestly not great, I started drinking and using at the time. I was academically a mess, I went a private school and was the poor kid who had a terrible temper and was often picked on knowing I’d fight. Very suicidal, very much an addict, my Dad was a workaholic and my Mom often had cancer so it was a mess
UK here, someone else mentioned that might be about year 7-9? Managed to not kill myself so I guess it could have been worse.
