Top Ten Reasons Why People Hate Middle School

The Top Ten
1 Too much homework

I agree! I went to a bilingual school as an elementary schooler, so I had two teachers who didn't give too much homework, and back then I was a smart kid and I would do it. Now we have seven teachers, and the only class you don't get homework from everyday is PE. It puts too much pressure on us and it's hard to complete 2-3 hours of pointless assignments on our time away from school. Not to mention, if you get full credit on something, your grade goes up by like one percent and if you fail it, you drop at least one letter grade! Thankfully I'm in 8th grade and I won't have to deal with this in about 8 months. A lot of people have told me that high school is better, and the one I'm trying to go to is one of the best in my country so I hope that's true.

12:Kids or teens need time to be kids or teens not bombed by work!
Here's my top 10 reason why middle school homework sucks!

So in fifth grade, we only had like one teacher that barely gave homework. It's sixth grade and you have 2 teachers plus the stupid Spanish teacher. On the first day of school, the teacher of English gave a bookshelf full of homework. And heres the thing the important homework, she never checks, but the unimportant she does. Everyone feels like they have no life because she assigns like a bookshelf everyday plus the annoying projects.

MATH: Finish the 50 exercises on your worksheet for TOMMOROW.
HISTORY: Finish reading the 2 chapters we discussed in class.
SCIENCE: Make a poster explaining the stages of pregnancy and add pictures. Value 100 pts.
ENGLISH: Finish reading the story we discussed today in class, and answer the questions on your book.
100+ homework. Do you wish to continue?

2 Everyone turns into a jerk

I can't say that it was necessarily bad in the beginning, since everyone in sixth grade and the first half of seventh grade didn't seem to really be bothered by me. In a way, I feel like this made everything worse, since I wasn't expecting everyone in my world to wake up one morning and decide, "Well, since I'm too pathetic to handle my own hormones, I think I'm just going to make someone who isn't going through my same problem miserable for no reason at all". Not to say that my life was one hundred percent perfect before they decided to gang up on me. I was already having trouble with my family, but I guess whatever problems I had didn't seem to matter whatsoever. I don't even think I had any friends during that time, since anyone who was considered a 'friend' seemed to always want to take everything out on me, and then blame me for our dysfunctional relationship. I am just so glad that all of this is over now. To those of you eighth graders who are experiencing a similar problem, ...more

I'm currently in grade 8 and the last three months of grade 7 SUCKED! Up until April, everything was fine, everybody was nice to each other and we just had fun. Then suddenly a friend of mine became really popular. Everyone started to follow her and everyone suddenly became jerks. It got so bad to the point where I didn't even want to go to school anymore. This year isn't any better, I don't know who my friends are anymore and I feel like I can't trust anyone. When I was younger I thought that my friends at the time were my BFFs and we were going to stay that way forever, but I was wrong. Everyone is middle school is fake, hormonal, rude, and are backstabbers. Its gotten to the point where two of my friends can't help but follow the popular kids around, just to be seen with them. As if they have a reputation! They are too afraid to do what they want because they are worried what the popular kids might say about them! I'm trying to enjoy myself since it's my last year but I can't help ...more

Are the middle school students really THAT mean? I just graduated elementary and currently on summer break, so I don't know what goes on in middle school. Some people (like my brother) said that it's gonna be the worst years of my life, but some people say that they enjoyed it, and that just confuses me. I guess I'll have to go see for myself when summer break ends.

There is this middle schooler in my tennis class, and she's really annoying and jerky. She kind of acts like a drama queen. I'm going to middle school next year, and I don't think I'm looking forward to seeing jerky students. My brother also said that people swear like sailors, also another thing I'm not looking forward to.

3 A really bad lunch

The food is actually a lot better than it was in elementary school. Plus there's a snack bar and desserts, and a variety of drinks! Plus it's cheap, how could you go wrong?

Umm, are lunch tastes awesome. It's basically like a food court. And that means pizza everyday!

That's why I always bring my lunch from Home. Another reason is because you can save a lot of money!

I QUESS my middle school has good lunch, but they always serve fish and chicken, which is stuff I don't eat. And the pizza is a lot like cardbord...

4 Suddenly everything you do matters

So, let's see here...oh yah! I have a science fair project that is causing ridiculous amounts of stress. On top of that, grades aren't helping. I oot all A's except for one C and two B minuses, but all anyone cares about was those Bs and C. Not the A, or A+. What the heck!? Not only that, I also seem to be an outcast at my school, because I made noises sometimes, and now I don't, but now everyone think I'm a retard! And I had a hundred in ELA, and because of ONE HOMEWORK I now got a 53! WHAT!?!?

Elementary school: Here, we're gonna help you out, okay? Take it easy, little buddy. Everything is gonna be okay!
Middle school: Alright you're on your own. If you swear you're gonna get a suspension, if you don't eat lunch you might as well kick yourself out cause you're getting expelled.

I've never worried about grades much ever.. all we discussed in conferences was my behavior and a short 'oh yeah they're getting good grades'. Now, I know what it's like to be stressed..

Elementry School- bad score on a test? No problem you will just take the same damn test next week but in a different variation eitgir way it was going to be easy

Middle School- bad test score? Screw life it is already over

5 Some friends turn into enemies

It's so annoying. I had three best friends. All of them (even though we were so close and I showed loyalty) they are left me. Betrayed me. They left me to become a social outcast. I mean, how can you just lose interest in a friendship? They just left me,never played or talked to me at school. I never even fought with them. Here's a funny thing. I had some side friends but all of them had best friends that they much rather hang out with. I became friends with a new girl and she was clingy, which I like. That means she wanted extremely for me to be her friend. But my ex best friend (who has been my friend since kindergarten) asked my new friend to come with her and sit with her at lunch. I got so pissed when my new friend started talking and hanging out with my ex friend and left me to be alone. Everyone is just the same, right? Or at least in my class.

When I started school I had this fantastic friend and we did everything together. Then in 2 grade he just suddenly turned into a complete jerk because I started to learn more. He became friends with the bullies till the end of 4th grade. That's when I met 2 people I never thought I could be friends with. One was a loner and the other a boy who only started school last year. We had a great time. Always hanging out and having fun. Till 5th grade where my ex-friend, became friends with my friends, I have him a chance to be in our group. But after a few months he kept harassing me and making my life a joke

In 6th grade I made a huge group of friends who were always there for me, but out of nowhere left me in 7th grade because I wasn't "cool" enough. 8th grade just got worse, as everyone in my grade just harassed me, and I started to act in ways I wish I didn't. I even attempted suicide one night. Luckily, I began talking with the 7th graders, and they were a lot more welcoming.
I'll say, high school is somehow easier on me, academically, and socially. Never thought it'd be, but it is.

My best friend since kindergarten turned out to be a huge bully. She was possessive of me and wanted me to only be friends with her. She tried to tell me that my other friends were mean and that she didn't like them. She was even mean to them. She tried to convince me that people only liked me so they could be friends with her. Now I'm trying to block of all communication with her.

6 Cliques

I didn't get any of my previous friends in my third-grade class, so I made friends with three other girls. We were really good friends, but in fourth-grade I learned the truth; the second they weren't in the same class as me, they all ditched me for their own friends. They didn't try to keep in touch with me, or talk to me in recess or gym (my school puts three/two classes in the same grade together), and every time I saw them in Chorus or Orchestra, only one of them would actually talk to me and be my partner. One moved away, but when she came back, she didn't even look at me, let alone talk to me. The truth is, I was only their friend because their friends were in different classes. I mean, they were good friends, but they didn't ever so speak to me after third-grade, like they never knew me. I tried to talk to them, but they just said "Hi" like I was a complete stranger dressed like Dumbledore. Loosing friends is sad, but the bright side is that my old friend and a new friend were ...more

God, they are so stupid. I've seen some cliques around at my school, and they are like,
"In order to be with us, you have to wear PINK, be on Snapchat 24/7, and try to act cool" should be their motto

At least I found some decent friends. They actually respect me for who I am, which is a big achievement in my book; moving to a new school and picking the better friends was a smart move in my opinion

As a person who suffers from autism, I'm really worried about middle school next year and dealing with cliques. What if I miraculously make a friend, but then that friend ditches me for some group of socially well-liked students? I really doubt I'm ever going to be able to keep any friends until college, at least.

The fact that most people in these cliques always complain how bad they were bullied are makes them more unlikeable. Look, I know how It feels(believe me, I went quiet a lot in real life). But I think It's better to solve your issues by talking to someone or report the bullies instead of trying to make a name for yourself with some silly social clique -_-

7 Strict teachers

There are a lot of those at my school. There's this one teacher that I extremely hate because she very strict. One time I was hanging out with 2 other friends and she told us not to hang out with each other. I KNOW RIGHT! that's STUPIDO, another time we were singing the national anthem. On the second verse I decided to make up my own lyrics. Then straight after that the same teacher told us off for not singing and told us " ILL MAKE YOU SING IT EVERYDAY", Finally my friend felt sick and that same teacher won't let her out of school, even though she nearly fainted

I had a 6th grade teacher who hated me Her Name is Miss Dunham she never believes my side of my story.
I had a 8th grade teacher who hated me Her Name is Mrs. Neese Nobody did not get along with her shes so pretty mean and constantly yells at me.
I had a P.E Teacher who hated me His Name is Mr. Day always yelling at me and the other students.

My history teacher started out strict but every day he starts turning less strict and less strict.

My social studies teacher will ask you to go get a tardy pass if you're half a second late.

8 Bullying

All of my friends turned against me because of my ex-bestfriend's jealously of me. She didn't want me to have anymore friends because I was happy without her. She told the whole school lies about me and now I have NO FRIENDS! Sometimes I actually want to switch schools because of her. She ruined the way I look at friendship. I hope she's happy now..

My best friend suffered from extreme bullying last year. And it was all because she was standing up for her friend. Everyday I feel so bad for her. That she had to go through all of that is horrifying. But they left her alone and I'm helping her recover from her shaken up experience.

Bulling should be NUMBER ONE because it's so severe that they parents should be ashamed of themselves for raising their children like that!

I genuinely can't help what I look like and people will not leave me alone over it - why can't people just accept me for being nice?

9 No more recess

No point in recess for me. All I did was stand around and talk with my friends, or run around with freeze tag, or the swings. I kind of grew out of it and it was turning boring for me anyway.

Not true. I have fifteen minutes between second and third period, and a whole hour for lunch between fourth and fifth. I'm in eighth grade and I find it perfectly suitable.

I miss recess, no friends though but at least I had a break from the learning! Seriously! I need fresh air!

We have a 30 minute lunch and all we get to have is going outside after we eat, which is only 10 mins. And you work all day besides that.

10 You have to work with people you don't like or know

In my 7th grade history, I was working in a group of 4, consisting of a normal girl, a killjoy, and an emo d! ckwad. Mr. Killjoy resented everything I said, even asking simple questions like "What foods did they grow? " Emo D! ckwad refused to try and tolerate me, and out of nowhere said "Screw you" for no particular reason. Normal Girl just didn't do much, so I couldn't complain.

And this is why I hate group projects. I'd much rather do the work alone than in a random group of people I can't stand.

One time had to work with the pervert at school, I can't explain how uncomfortable I was.

In real life, you have to deal with people you don't like or know. Shocker. Deal with it.

The Contenders
11 Less minimum days

Wait what does that mean

12 Mondays

No explanation needed.

13 Popular girls get way more snobby

True... My experience with these popular girls is a sad one. It's funny how most of the "unpopular" ones would assumed that these girls will do better in the future. But unfortunately, most of them do not. They don't take sex ed or life lessons seriously (from the privilege they were given) from the school programming(s) that they were in. Most of them end up getting pregnant and left by their baby daddies after high school, they become physically unattractive, or have no real friends at all.

In elementary school, being popular was way easier. All you had to do (at least in my school) was be yourself. There was this one girl who was a tomboy, but she was super super popular because of the fact that she did not hide her true colors. I was sort of popular-ish, because of my kind personality.

*wall of text incoming*

And then middle school. How come I JUST STARTED MIDDLE SCHOOL IN AUGUST and I am already seeing this? In my middle school, all you have to do is be pretty. No one cares if you act like a douche bag or not. I remember asking my friend how to be popular at my school, because she knows some of the popular kids, and she just said, "You have to be pretty, skinny, and curse a lot." She is literally the only nice popular kid at my school. All the popular kids are complete bullies, and they're not even funny. I am an OUTCAST this year just because I don't curse, and I'm not pretty or skinny. I'm nice, and that's really all that matters. Hell, my friend even ...more

I agree. There's this one really snobby (or as I like to call her, nobby) girl, who I used to have to sit next to in geography. And she was just like "I CAN'T SIT NEXT TO HIM". Luckily the teacher realised his mistake and changed the seating plan and now I sit next to my crush.

I'm not going against this, but not all the popular girls are TERRIBLE. I'll start with the bad. They gossip, exclude people, and just make people FEAR them, because they have a higher "status". But not all of them are bad. Two or three are actually my friends. Sort of.

14 Too many school projects

My English teacher gave us a reading project then gave us a seven part project on the book, then se tells us "I'm gonna give you guys a break" and then next week she gives us another project. It is so annoying like we have stuff to do

In one of classes we never actually learned anything. The teacher just gave us instructions to follow for a different project every week.

In social studies I have this teacher that right after you have another with NO break time.

They waste your time. You can prepare for exams other than doing projects.

15 The lockers

Having a hard time opening them.

16 Everyone becomes more judgmental

They really do. Suddenly everything you do matters. If you aren't friends with the "popular" people, you're considered an outcast. And you talk to ONE boy and suddenly everyone thinks you like him. You have to be careful of your every move because your scared what someone else will think. Your basically LIVING for SOMEONE ELSE.

If I wore the same shirt that I did the week before, at least one person would say "oh my god you wore that shirt last week! " And I'm just like oh sorry I forgot that I hate an endless closet full of clothes...

One time I got judged to how I ate a banana, they imagine me sucking on something. There are 0 ways available of eating a banana right

It's so frustrating seeing people judge everyone for everything they do.

17 Cafeteria food

Revolution food is fire, better than my last school. A WHOLE lot better

Bruh we used to have revolution
I thought we were the only ones!

Revolution food sucks

18 Backstabbers

They always try to take advantage of you as a friend, then backstab you.

19 Test and quizzes

Especially when you get competitive with people who used to be your friends

20 Bitchy girls

Haha it's so true.

21 You start to understand reality more

You finally start to understand the real world. Not everyone is who they seem to be. They can smile and laugh with you one day, and the next they're the one who started the awful rumor about you. I thought the world was a happy place before Middle School, but I obviously was wrong. The reality is honestly you can't trust anyone. The real world is an horrible place. Now you know what REALLY to expect in the future.

22 Everyone has a phone

My parents don't get me a phone but suddenly EVERYONE has one?! I get made fun of cause I don't have instagram and snapchat and all the "in" things, it's so annoying. and our teacher when we are taking a math test on quadratic functions and square roots (where we get to use calculators) ASSUMES everyone has a phone and when I ask her if I can borrow her calculator she says "What about your phone? use that instead! " it makes me angry!

The whole 6th grade was at an assembly, and our principal asked, "How many of you have a phone? " And pretty much everyone raised their hand. Except me.

I know! Everybody always asks me "do you have a phone? " or "WHY" I get super embarresed like and the fact that my parents still will not buy me a phone makes me even more mad!

23 Detentions
24 Good kids starting becoming bad
25 Gross bathrooms

Good Lord! Sometimes I question if the bathroom in my middle school had ever been cleaned before! The least they could do is put in an air freshener.

There is always pee all over the floor in the girls bathrooms! It's a middle school, why isn't everyone potty trained yet?!

Some disgusting kid stuck a USED pad on the mirror in the girls room. Everyone freaked out, it was nasty.

God, someone one took a number 2 on the floor because he was thought he was funny! God that's disgusting
! I hate Loranger Middle School.
