What many would consider "the worst years of your life", which isn't too far off if you ask me.
Middle School, also known as Junior High to some. Usually spans between 6-8th American grades, but sometimes may include 5th and/or 9th grade depending on where you live or the school you go to.
In Middle School, it is less "finding your new self", but more "growing out of your
old self". If you look back at Middle School, or are still in it, it is very obvious that most people, including you, were painfully embarrassing, or what some would call "cringy".
The boys there are very
immature and must joke about sex
24/7, whether it is by moaning randomly in class or joking about watching pornhub. The girls are a bit better, but. Most of the girls are obsessed with social media, makeup,e-culture, and
boys, or are the complete opposite and brag about how they are different from others instead.
Many people regardless of
gender will go through some
type of phase though, whether it is anime and k-pop, video games, or even a furry phase, of course many stay in that phase even after middle school.
If you are in Middle School, you might be offended with what I am saying, but once you leave you might find yourself agreeing.
Thankfully, I am leaving Middle School when I am writing this, but unfortunately am becoming a high school
freshman...
