A sad attempt at getting pre-teens (13 to 14 years old) ready for high school. The teachers are idiotic, the homework is intense, and the cliques are brutal. Consists of Preps, Jocks, Skater boys, Emo kids, Normals, and the Anorexic idiots.
Another grueling day in an Eighth grade PE-locker room...

*OMG my freaking hair is like, messy.* ~Prep
*So fix it.* ~Normal
*I'M SOOOOO FAT!* ~ Anorexic girl
*At least your hair isn't bad!*~ Prep
*(whispering) Bitches.* ~Emo/Scene girl
*GO KILL YOURSELF!* ~Prep
(Jock guy heard from outside)
*Let me in babyyyyyyy!* ~Jock
*(smirking) Wouldn't you like to....* ~Prep
(Prep goes outside in minimal clothing to greet her jock boyfriend. Skaters whistling at this)

Last year of schooling that the youth will actually need to go into the real world.
Remember everything from the eighth grade? Well, this is like that, but now 5x as hard, only gets twice as harder, goes on for 4 years, and starts now! You think this isn't important? Why take the chance?

When someone around the age of 12-15 get engrossed into one topic such as a TV show or video game, and believes they are a part of it in the form of a Character or possessing the powers from the show or video game. In other cases, influences from shows or video games may not even be a cause.

Surprisingly, this is a quite serious phenomenon that happens in real life, and not just something that appears in the show “Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai” as where it is most commonly known.

Symptoms may range from full-on costume wearing with quotes used within their everyday conversations, from acting completely normal with only them believing in themselves having some sort of power.

A common example of a subtle version of this syndrome would be kids having thoughts such as “I’m smarter than anyone” or “No one can understand my thoughts, It’s too complicated”.
“Ugh, that kid has Eighth-Grade Syndrome. He must think he’s so cool, when in reality he’s just pure cringe.”

1. A time in life everyone tries to forget. It usually involves acting totally different than you actually are. Sometimes people think they have superpowers or think that they are super cool. No matter what case of 8th grade syndrome it is, people will never want to remember it.
Guy: Remember back when you had eighth grade syndrome you thought you had superpowers and were destined to save the world.
Guy 2: I was trying to forget those dark times.

A period of time when one is searching for oneself. Can also be when one wants to act more adult-lik such as drinking coffee black despite hating the taste of coffee in general. Often results in shame, disgust, and the wish erase that period of time from existence in later years.
Girl 1: remember when you died your hair pink and got a bunch of piercings?

Girl 2: don't remind me, I had eighth grade syndrome.
