Top Ten Most Disappointing Things About Middle School

This is a list of things that people are raving about before middle school, but when they actually get there they find that their dreams of middle school are disappointing let-downs.
The Top Ten
1 Immature People

The kids in my middle school were immature and would act like total morons. They would always hit each other and yell and drop the f bomb as if it was the word "it" or "the". This one girl that went to my school was not only an idiot, but also a big jerk. She would yell at random kids for no reason and cuss them out. It really made me mad and one time when I heard her doing it, I lost my cool and screamed at her. Not only that, but they also listen to immature music. They listen to horrible "rap music" that is auto-tuned sexual garbage. I'm listening to their music and I'm like "How the heck do you like this crap?" Also, one time my Spanish class had a substitute teacher and I came in class to hear my classmates screaming for no reason. They were acting like pre-schoolers rather than 7th graders and they just wouldn't shut up. Not only that, but they also do messed up things. I hear all the time about middle schoolers doing wrong things such as smoking weed and stealing property. I can't stand how everyone would act in my middle school and I pray that high school isn't worse.

2 Physical Education

Me in gym today during capture the flag.

Lots of sweaty kids start to run as I stand there with my arms crossed
"K then..." I say as one kids runs past me.
Some kid grabs the sweaty rag that is supposedly a flag and I just sigh.

All the popular kids always were amazing at PE and I was the shy one so I honestly sucked at it. I remember everyday I would try to fight to survive those 40 minutes.

Pre-test: 1 push up, 1 sit up, 1 second wall sit, 1second plank.
The gym teacher yelled at me and said I had to do a lot better on the post test.
Post test: 2 pushups, 2 sit ups...

3 No Recess

Why don't you have school break? But its not playing which you did in Elementary. But in England we had school break in secondary school, just go outside or even visit the library. In Primary School we had playtime. In Secondary it was school break.

No recess is torture for me because I like getting inside and not sitting in hot stuffy classrooms. I'm in middle school but I still have recess, its called break though. And its basically the same thing as recess.

That's a good thing. I'm at middle school and we still have that lame thing. Everyone loves recess, but it's torture for people who don't have any friends. I just wanna sit down and listen to Halsey songs, because her lovely lyrics connect to me so much but of course we have to "be (lame old) active" like the teachers say but it's so awkward.

4 The Desks

Not only was gum under the desks, it was everywhere (including on the "gum wall" on the outside of one of the buildings).

Desks are amazing in middle school! Elementary desks are the worst. (The collapsed on us during earthquake drills when we went under our desks.) they also were just small, and I had to scoot my chair very far back because by third grade my knees didn't fit under the desks. (I'm tall.)

When I was in elementary school I thought the pull over top desks were awesome until I got to middle school and realized that you couldn't lean back in your chair, a nasty habit of mine

5 The Cafeteria

I HATE the smell of my peanut butter sandwich after being in my lunch box for 2 hours. I'm super picky, which I feel bad about because some people are starving and I don't like the most well liked sandwich in the world.

Jacqson Childs have been nagging me to stop looking at him, he's annoying as the annoying orange, every time I look him, he becomes rude to me, Jacqson Childs had took loud into another level, he cussed during art, Bruh, don't get me wrong because Jacqson Childs is being so rude to me, he has been too loud when others were taking the test, he thinks looking at him like me makes him mad, He is so Looking phobic to me, he has been rude to me only, once I go to Fulton High School I will never see him, Darrius Couchcox, and K.J. ever again.

When I was in fifth grade I was glad we didn't have to eat in our classrooms any more in Middle School. But our schools "cafetorium" is as bad as it gets.

6 Lockers

Locker jams and getting the combination wrong is one of the worst things to happen. Though this has bever happened to me I have seen some of my locker neighbors' friends slam their lockers right when their in the middle of getting stuff, now that must be horrible.

The whole thing about how lockers are so great and whatever is a crappy lie. We get 2 minutes during Homeroom 5th and 7th period to either take something out of it or put something in it. Pretty lame nothing exciting.

I was excited that I would be finally getting a locker, but then they went and took them away! My mum is extremely mad because I don't have a safe place to put my PE kit! I have to carry it around!

7 Stupid Teachers

Some of my teachers don't think their questions threw before asking us them or they have something due the next day but don't give you instructions to the assignment.

I have good teachers. When stupid popular girls annoy me I tattle on them because I'm an evil teacher pet sometimes (At least I was honest..)

But seriously, the popular girl was PUSHING ME in line once. So yeah.

I kind of hate my science teacher because she can get grumpy sometimes, but all of mine were very kind to me.

8 No Snack-Time

I get super hungry during the day and no snack time makes my stomach feel like it's farting which then makes it super embarrassing.

Now I wasn't really hoping there wasn't gonna be snack time in middle school but I really do miss it.

Just glad I don't have lunch at 2:00. Therefore I don't need a snack.

9 Online homework

My one teacher would get mad at me when I couldn't turn in my homework because it was on the computer. I didn't have a computer at home and not to mention internet and frankly my parents did't have the money. I wrote it down the answers on paper so that my teacher won't get to mad but she still got angry. And it's not like I can go to the library every day because both my parent's worked full time, and I was 12 and I didn't have my license. I am happy I have a computer now for high school because I would of been screwed.

There are some people who can't afford computers and/or internet. I also don't like it when the homework requires you to use social media, which is what one of my teachers has assigned.

When I needed to type up my homework. I don't have a printer. I am always afraid of detention for it.

10 One Hour Classes

Now my school is on this block schedule that has each class last 90 minutes or more that you have a different set of classes every other day and if it has a class or teacher you don't like or find too easy then the class is kind of like eternal torture.

These aren't always bad except for the fact that I'm stuck in Language Arts and Gym for 90 minutes every other day. I don't like either of those subjects so being in those classes feels like an eternity.

You're thinking "oh that's not bad" but when your in a subject that you really hate it can last for eternity.

The Contenders
11 Electronics

At my school, people use phones and tablets, but they get stolen sometimes. They keep their devices into their back pockets sometimes.

In my school electronics were a big NO. If we brought our phones or iPads to school we had to turn them in to the secretary and wait until after school.

I have to be stealthy on a computer if I want to access the web, I got caught lots of times though...oops, got caught again!

12 Morons

The kids in my class are the rowdy type, always doing dumb things in class. ALL. THE. TIME. People talk about Donald Trump if the teacher mentions a wall, and people are obsessed with Harambe, Dabbing, Pokemon GO, Suicide Squad and memes. The teacher always grills everyone at the end of the lesson because people are being idiotic!

There are idiots in elementary school who eat boogers, at least no one did that in middle school, but in high school most kids did.

By the way, I have NEVER eaten a booger in my life, if you don't believe me I'll poke my eye

Okay where do I start! I'm autistic, and I have a hard time doing a lot of things that are easy to others. And some kids are jerks and are like bossy and annoying. Also I didn't know the answer to a problem in Math and some kid called me "retarded." Also the kids carry on annoying and stupid stuff like putting hashtags in all their sentences, LOL,9+10,What are those,etc.

13 Dating

No really. My ex boyfriend found a condom in the boy's bathroom in middle school. I kid you not. At that same time, some immature boys pulled the fire alarm. And there were then 6-7th grade girls talking about sending nudes to guys whether they liked them or not. Not to mention the rumors about people having sex in the elevators. Not teachers, but students.

It's weird. I remember being shocked when I was in 6th grade when I first heard about a couple my age, but now it's just normal. Why are 13/14 year olds even dating? We're too young and the longest lasting couple probably only dated for about a month.

Just so overrated! Dating that young just lowers your scores, that means no university, and no good life! And worse, people do it for POPULARITY, not truly for love! I hope one day people will stop dating and go back to studies.

14 Bullies

That's against the law in the state that I live in yet some people still do it.

15 Freedom

All you can do is get from 1 side of the school to the other in 4 minutes or less. Hope you didn't get too tired in gym, you gotta run!

I do get a lot of freedom in middle school. I like that because I'm constantly monitored at home so school is more of my escape.

Eh, I walk around and talk to my friends between classes since my classes are close by and I have 5 minutes to get to it.

16 More Work

Not that much

17 Uniforms

In my middle school, we had to wear only black or white shirts with black, khaki, or navy blue bottoms. Even the jackets and sweaters had to be of uniform colors, and they had to have buttons/zippers on them, we had to keep them unbuttoned/unzipped inside the school. And starting from eighth grade, we weren't allowed to wear colored bracelets or red shoes, they were considered gang-related. And at the book fairs, we always had to take off our jackets and sweaters before entering. Even in my elementary school, we still had uniforms, but we didn't have to wear only jackets/sweaters with buttons/zippers or take them off before entering the book fair.

My school's uniform Is a light blue shirt with a logo of the school(not a t shirt), a dark blue tie with the school's logo, a dark blue plait skirt(girls) or a dark blue pair of pants(boys), a pair of white socks, and a pair of plain black shoes. I attend a Private school, that's why we only wear the official national school uniform on mondays. And we also have dress codes. Ideally, boys must have short hair, girls must have their hairs tied or wear head bands, nails must be short, no nail polishers, no make up, socks must be as long as the thighs, etc

18 No Video Games

My middle school was divided into 2 teams, the team my friend was on let you play video games when you finished your work, and mine didn't.

19 Attention Seeking
20 Pep Rallies

They're hard for me because I'm sensitive to loud noises and pep rallies sound like there is a jet flying in the gym.

The music was too loud and the student council president was always looking like she high on drugs.

I hated these so much

21 Changing Rooms

Since I have a lot of people in my middle school there's like what 40-50 girls each period in the locker room. Also because the gym lockers are ridiculously small you can't really fit much. Plus it feels like you have zero privacy in there so even though not many people care it still feels really awkward. Also the locker room smells bad too.

Ours is very small and there only 3 showers and about 20 girls. Not to mention the lockers are the size of one textbook so you can only fit some of your clothes in them.

That's why I would always change in the restroom instead. I wasn't gonna let anyone see me in just my bra and panties.

22 The drama

Don't even go there. It's so bad everyone is so overdramtic about everything

23 The Ice Cream Box

? What the heck is that? Never heard of it. Also my middle school never served ice cream.

I thought the ice cream box was awesome until I ran out of money.

What is an ice cream box?

24 Detention

Detention at my school is actually ok. It's literally sitting in a well-heated room for 20 minutes at lunch. You can get after school or weekend detentions, but they're almost never given out.

Believe me detention sucks hardcore. I got detention for my science teacher once and it was the worst thing I have ever experienced

Just don't be annoying and just.. Bad... Then don't get detention.

25 Annoying People
