Already so many people have seen and now know about my middle school story omg.. when it happened to me I never would have guessed I’d be sharing it. But I feel comfortable doing so, because you guys are all amazing people.

It's kinda brave of you to open up like this, and sad to hear you got mistreated.

Also! For those of you in middle school or going into middle school, read this!
• romantic relationships DON’T MATTER! I know it may seem “cool” but trust me, it’s not.
• FOCUS on your grades! Study hard, that’s what matters the most!
• BE KIND to others! I know that sounds super cliche, but treat others the way YOU want to be treated!
• Don’t get into drama! Find a nice friend group that makes YOU feel safe & comfortable!
• No one will remember your embarrassing moments!♥️♥️

Bruh I swear my school did not give a crumpet about justice so even if someone ripped out your lungs, you could not say a single insult to them

I’m in 7th grade rn, and honestly, the best way to survive middle school(imo):
FIND A FRIEND GROUP THAT TREATS YOU WELL AND STAY WITH THEM. This is what I do. I’m myself around my friends, I’m comfortable with them. We joke about how much middle school sucks for all of us. They are very smart people, they don’t start fights. We help each other out. Be kind to people outside of your friend group(obviously be kind to your friends, too, but being loud and yourself, if your friends are real friends, is less of a risk). Don’t make fun of anyone. I don’t care if you feel uncool, people will leave you alone if you don’t make fun of anyone. They won’t make fun of you, because you’re nice, and they would feel bad making fun of you. Some people who aren’t exactly your friends might end up wanting to be friends with you or defending you. Kids in middle school are mean, and they tease each other. It’s best to avoid that, because you get to avoid all the emotional stress that comes with it.

Yep. Mostly every girl in my middle school was either a pick-me or just really rude. (Most of the mean ones were “popular girls”. All of them had “boyfriends” and were SO mean!

6th grade: Everyone was starting to get rude, and trying to act cool. Everyone would be assholes to me for no reason. People would constantly make fun of me for anything, how I walked, how I talked(I had crossbite, my mother literally wouldn't take me to the dentist for some reason) and much more.

7th grade: We went remote for most of the year, I got depressed cause of no social interaction. Near the end of the year, in-person was an option, but I didn't have much people to talk to, and the few friends I made were toxic

8th grade: I could only tolerate two of my teachers, the rest either tried to hard to be funny, abused their power, or would literally pick on me for no reason. One time, my math teacher literally wouldn't let me going to the bathroom after I had made it clear that I had UTI. She'd also try to berate me after I made obvious jokes sometimes, and yell at me for dumbass stuff; for example, my math teacher would yell at me for being on a tab with a hallpass website(Yes, we had to use E-Hallpass this year for some reason, I also still had UTI at this time) she threatened to kick me out of class and give me a detention.  Cafeteria food was horrible everyday, the quality got worse each passing year since 5th grade. Most of the students there were toxic, sometimes I'd be threatened by others for little to no reason. I'd get depressed, lost interest in most of my activities, sometimes not even doing my work.

9th Grade(currently): During my whole Summer, I was worrying about improving my looks, and strength to the point of frustration. I begged my mother to take me to a night school program, even saying that I'd walk if I have to(I was originally gonna go to Belleville East, which most of the kids from last year + a lot more kids would go to) but eventually we found another School that just opened in my area, and I got to attend it. I'm already liking it better than Middle School, most of the people are chill, I'm actually learning things instead of rushing multiple topics in a week and forgetting most of them, teachers are nice and respectful, and fights aren't happening 24/7. I believe High school is already gonna be a better time for me, and I might update this comment when I finish my 9th grade year.

As a college student I have a message for middle schoolers: just do your work, take breaks when needed, remove your self from any friend drama. BELIEVE ME, petty drama isn’t worth it in the end, from personal experience. Please take care of your needs and don’t listen to anyone pulling you down. Also a few friends is better than a lot !!! Don’t bother becoming a popular kid or forcing your self too

that happened to me too!! i had a decent sized friend group of all females in fifth grade, but come sixth grade, they kind of just stopped hanging out with me. i asked them if they still considered me their friend and they literally just looked at each other nervously laughing with awkward looks. i don’t know what i did honestly. there were a few who stayed loyal to me despite the group’s influence and although we’re apart now, i can still appreciate and respect them for that. don’t be a sheep.

also lemme add: giving a dog with big floppy ears huge earrings is genius and adorable lol

This is EXACTLY what I'm going through in middle school I just started 6th grade and I have like 0 friends.I'm trying to talk to more people in order to meet new friends I haven't made any friends so far but I'm still trying.

Hey leamon, very relatable story. I’m in 6th grade, I got bullied in 5th, people where talking about me behind my back, and it made me upset, I still can’t say anything about it because if I say one wrong thing, my life goes down the drain really quick, I’ve tried dealing with it but it’s hard to. Even in 6th grade people are still bothering me. Now I really don’t want to have to go to 7th, my sister (she is in college now) says that her middle school experience was bad as well. She got pushed down the stairs at school, someone threatened to kill her and tried to rape her, her friend died because he fell down the stairs, people where doing drugs, and a bunch of other bad stuff as well. I really am not looking forward to it. Also, I am sorta a social butterfly, I really like talking to people who like talking to me, but I have social anxiety because I’m scared if people are talking behind my back, spreading rumors about me, and then I will end up alone. It’s just scary for me, that’s why I can’t talk to people that much.

7th grade has got to be the worst year in middle school in my opinion

I would like to give out a few tips for Middle School! I’ve experienced it so I would like to share a few things to do and to NOT DO! Thank you if you read along!

• Relationship DONT matter! Focus on school work! School is for learning, not loving! It’s okay to have a crush, I actually had a crush on someone-

• DONT CUSS!! Cussing is NOT cool and you can get in trouble for it!

• Be YOURSELF! DONT be shy to not be yourself at school! Be yourself so then if someone is like you, they can be friends with you!

• NO DRAMA!! It’s not right to do and it can hurt peoples feeling. You can also get in trouble!

• Don’t be a “showoff”, I’m not being rude but don’t show off to others because for example. If you try to do a flip in front of your crush, you could get hurt. (It’s just a scenario so DONT DO IT!!)

I hope this helps for some people! If you have any other questions then you can ask me! And great video Leamon! The art in the background is AMAZING!!

I had a group of friends, until they decided to hate me for no reason and ignore me. I'd brought this up to them, and they acted like they cared, but they didn't. My other friend hung out with a group of friends who bullied me. So, I was alone. I talked with people, which were for some reason mainly boys. People said that I was dating them, but really, none of us cared. But, boys in my grade never learn and they didn't notice when they left me for their other bully friends and I felt sad again. One person was popular in a way, who I became friends with. She then became my partner in the play, as in, I was one step sister of cinderella, she was the other. However, this girl had a different group of friends who didn't like me much. Me and one of my friends who were boys became close,but only as friends. I got braver, since now I had real friends, and began wearing pajamas to school. In 6th grade, one new boy moved to our school who made me feel uncomfortable. He liked me, though. He WINKED at me and called me senorita (my name). This boy made me scared, so I always went to my other REAL friend, the boy. He also didn't like the new boy, and so we both hung out more often. Ill continue the story if you ever want to meet me in AJPW, my user is Polarbearr4.

As a middle schooler, I can confirm ☹️

Aaack I absolutely love your story times! I love listening to them while I draw, they help me be more productive having something to listen to in the background :>

Let them talk behind your back. They're behind you for a reason

This hasn’t happened to me ( and probably never will ) because my school is strict when it comes to bullies. If you are caught doing that stuff, there’s no way you’re gonna get off without a lesson.
With that aside, I’m sorry you were treated so horribly. No kid deserves that kind of treatment.

I ended up gaining my best friend in middle school by both of us ending up in detention 🤣 I’m now a graduate of Highschool and we are still friends to this day 💖

I feel the fake friends part, ive been in the exact same situation, it really does hurt
