i'm sure we've all had cringe worthy memories when we were in middle school. if you don't, then what has changed about you since then? i recall having this insanely annoying yaoi obsession back then and i was the same as any typical immature twelve year old; drawing genitals everywhere and stuff. not much has changed since then
idk im starting to see how everyone else's experience is vaguely similar to mine, so why not share my story

6th grade: had a **** ton of friends, and ugh my hygiene was terrible back then. i barely showered and just- my god. idk how people even put up with me; i was hyper all the time and compared to 7th/8th grade, i barely experienced sadness. my grades were terrible because never i paid attention in class and all i cared about was friends. i got bullied a lot too

7th grade: started losing half of my friends, but oh well. i had this one group of friends i was still close with. my grades got slightly better. this is probably the worst year for me. started self harm, parents found out (i still feel like **** after doing this to them), sort of bullied. not as much as 6th grade though, i was just a tad bit less annoying

8th grade: this year is a blur to my mind. every day was pretty much the exact same, i didnt have any friends to make memories with and i just tried my best to pay attention. i was almost a straight a student at this point, but my grades werent perfect yet. i refused to study because i guess it was a side affect of severe depression, so i just relied on studying as much as i could in class. i'll just say its a lot easier to pay attention when im not worrying about when i can talk to my friends and stuff. i got emotionally stronger after being forced to suddenly be a loner for half of seventh grade, meaning i barely had any emotional break downs. i just ignored my problems, which is not recommended. didnt have anyone to rant to, so i kept everything bottled up. there would be that one night every month or so where something triggers it and all my emotions just come pouring out like **** - through anger and tears. ohh ****, it's getting way too deep now

anyway, things got so much better when i got into highschool. im so glad middle school is a thing of a past

I got into anime at that time so I was invested in that, plus I tried playing hard to get while being an annoying twerp. I was also a random kid xDDDDDDDD
 
Depends on which grade:
6th grade: Extremely annoying and weird. Literally annoyed the crap out of everyone at the school.
7th grade: Not nearly as happy due to issues with parents. More silent.
8th grade: Got more friends, getting on the verge of who I am now. Not annoying at all.
I changed a lot over the course of middle school.

I didn't get to the way I am until 10th grade :- (
Middle school did not help me at all.

this is pretty much how it was for me too. 7th grade was probably the most emotionally painful year for me and i still question if i was even normal in 6th grade. not much to say about 8th, it was rather boring considering i turned numb when it came to emotions
 
The smart nerd who had no friends and was bullied badly. All the friends I had in elementary school suddenly felt the need to try to be one of the popular kids, so they bullied me at worst, or ignored me at best. So... yeah.

Yeah, that was my experience, although I wouldn't say I was "boring" in 8th grade.
 
depressed and suicidal
still depressed and suicidal
more bitter though, less idealistic
 
Middle school wasn't too long ago for me lol. but basically:
6th grade: gap in front teeth, I had bangs, EXTREMELY high squeaky voice, I was always getting mistaken for 4th grade. I was still a little kid.
7th grade: I got braces and severe acne emerged on my forehead. and basically I was a walking fashion disaster and... that whole year was a disaster
8th grade: I looked ALOT diff from 6th & 7th. Braces were gone and so was acne for the most part. My face had changed a lot since 6th grade and I was no longer getting mistaken for a 4th grader. I was pretty much exactly the way I am now

my apologies if i offended you^^"
8th grade was probably my favorite year though. it sounds odd to me because i literally had no friends at all in 8th grade, but i learned from experiences in 7th grade and got emotionally stronger, so i just taught myself how to adapt to dramatic changes as well as loneliness. being alone actually turned into my favorite thing in the end lol

i'm glad things got better for you in 8th grade compared to 7th

scared, shy, stupid, ugly hair that i ruined haha, oily skin o.e

so glad im not this way anymore or am i *gasps*
 

can you say scene queen

that and a nerdy teacher's pet (though that's more parents expectations), really shy, and a master of wheelchairing mysself through crowded hallways and hitting no one

also i did a lot of things i shouldn't have, wheelchair doesn't hinder poor decisions, just walking.
 
Kind of sad, really. I only had a few friends in my main classes (and by few, I mean one) because all the others had left halfway through the year. Also, I had tons of bullying so I was kind of just lonely a lot
 
Quiet, awkward. Spent all my time playing MS, or watching dramas and anime.
 
We don't have middle school where I live, but considering this is around age 12, I was a huge weeaboo back then. First day of high school, I said some Japanese weeaboo stuff that actually made the upper years think I was Japanese. And I continued first year like I was in some kind of romance anime and oh dear god my friends would look back at remember me and mock me and............ omg.

I'm glad there are some people I can share cringeworthy pre-teen and early-teen years.
 
I was cringey as **** on Flipnote Hatena. Thank god all of that has been deleted from the internet forever.
