Horrible time. I hated it, the only thing that saved me was being a class clown. I could trust no one, even my friends were assholes to me. Most of my growth occured during high school so I still looked like a 5th grader until the 9th grade. In middle school I didn't really pay attention to girls anyways.

6th grade PE locker room still gives me nightmares. 7th grade was probably the worst emotionally. 8th was a little better, plus I had great teachers and great classes.

Just glad I'm out of there now. I think TerpfromHOCO went the same school. Mount View Falcons.

I was a bad kid in middle school. I'm not sure if there is any way to confirm this but I'm pretty sure I still hold the 7th grade record for team referrels. I think the deal was if you got 5 team referrels in a week then you got an office referrel which was serious business.

So for every week of 7th grade I got 4 referrels for this, that and the other. I racked up most of them in Mrs. Gardner's Language Arts class. Me and Cody Simmons. It was great though, I was, and still am, such a great writer and interpreter of prose that I would spend all class goofing off and then when Mrs. Gardner would get mad and try to call me out or make me feel dumb for not having paid attention I would pwn her with the super right answer that no one else in class had even considered.

People my age were too young to watch the goonies.

Also, eat a dick pencil head.

You are having trouble distiguishing between "popular" whereas people actually like you, and "popular" like the bearded lady at the circus is popular

Even though I was like the biggest kid in school(6'1" 200 at 13), there was this one kid who always tried to bully me. One time at lunch, he threw an entire piece of pizza at me. It hit my back and just stuck there. I calmly just removed it and let him talk about me. The bell rang, I walk out of the cafeteria, tap him on the shoulder, he turned around, and I straight pummel this kid into the ground. We went to the principals office and I talk my way out of it. My parents never even got a call and never found out about it(I guess until now. Sorry dad, I wont do it again!). He got suspended for 2 weeks and I didn't have a scratch on me. He came at me again a few months later in the locker room and I slammed his head into a locker. Then the summer after HS he tried to pick a fight on a basketball court. He was probably 6'0" 135 at the time and I was 6'1" 195 <5% BF, a couple months away from parris island. I was always twice his size and he never had any chance. I never knew why he hated me so much. He was the only kid I ever fought and I went 2.5-0 against him.

Middle school was actually awesome for the most part. Everyone is so awkward. We used to literally count the number of facial hairs we had and use that number to brag. The winner had like 12.

When I think of middle school, i just choose to think of Holly King.

Facebook tells me she's now a single mom of 2 who works as a dental assistant in Tennessee. But to me, she'll always be the hottest girl in 7th grade.

thanks. it's quite a slow day at work.

i posted on the 'online dating' thread last night, too :) other than that, i've been pretty quiet since ski season has calmed down.

back on topic... i've come to decide that the best period of life was 2-5th grade (when the biggest thrills are getting to play outside w/ all the other neighborhood kids until 10pm in the summer, finishing all your homework on the bus before you even get home, and FINALLY beating Super Mario 3), and then ages 18- now. 11-17 can suck it.

From 7 to 9th grades for me was a transition from suburban Catholic elementary school (7 and 8), and freshman year at an urban Catholic high school (old St. Anthony's in NE DC).The only three notable things I remember - my first great love, a big titted Irish redhead at CYO dances, having old men buy me Playboys at the People's Drug store down the street after high school, and sweating my brother being a Marine in Viet Nam. Oh, and boners.

wtf i didn't even like girls until like 8th grade. and at my school 7th grade was hard as shit so that sucked, but i remember never doing work in 8th grade.

and first hook ups ftw!

lol stalking noob over here

I had a girlfriend for like, 6 months in 6th grade. For 6th graders, that was like a 6 year relationship.

She's now fat, has a kid, and is married to a black guy.

Edit to add: Not that there's anything wrong with race mixin'

The worst part of middle school was no pens and no gum.

It was like, "Welcome to high school! Where you can chew gum and use the writing utensil of adults"
