Top 10 Worst Things About the 8th Grade

The Top Ten

  1. Everyone is freaking out about high school

    Luckily, my mom is letting me continue 8th grade and go to high school next year.

    Yep, even me since I'm in 8th grade currently.

  2. You get so many projects and tests that you think you'll explode

    Especially if you lack the energy and motivation to do the project or study for the test, and all you can physically do is play on your phone while lying down in bed for hours. School is pretty exhausting.

  3. Your teachers start rushing through lessons

  4. Everyone is still a jerk and immature

    I believe that this is the worst part of 8th grade. Most students don't care about the other things listed on this site. They mostly get poor grades and don't even try in school.

    However, there are small groups of scholars that do care and associate themselves with some of these issues. Most 8th graders, especially boys, are so immature and inappropriate. It is not seen as much in girls, but one thing that is definitely noticeable is the level of profanity these students use. It is so bad, and all of this is corrupting the innocent-minded students.

    So, this is why number 6 is the worst part of 8th grade. Take it from me. I am an 8th grade boy, but I am not like the others.

  5. Fearing you might end up going to a high school you don't want to attend

  6. You and your friends start drifting apart

    The truth.

    My best friend and I have been together since preschool, and we love each other like sisters. But now she's got so many other friends, and I'm not a fan of all of them. I can no longer say we're best friends, and we usually ignore each other during recess.

    This is happening to me right now in 7th grade. I have only about 3 or 4 people I talk to regularly, and most of my friends rarely talk to me or not at all.

    Here is what happens when mostly the same people are forced to be together this much a day, this many days a week, for 9 years:

    Best friends: Go down in rank

    Normal friends: Mostly talk to other people

    Acquaintances: Start getting annoying

    Enemies: Become even worse

  7. Fearing your friends might go to different high schools

  8. Your GPA, school history, and grades are sent to local high schools

  9. The sudden realization that the teachers really don't care if you pass

  10. Trying to decide what you'll do in high school

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Boys tell you they love you when it's not true

  12. ?

    Having more responsibility

    Yes. I was in 8th grade last year, and it was a LOT of responsibility. That was when my depression increased.

    I still hate having responsibilities now at age 15 and in 10th grade.

    13. The Contenders

  13. You become more self-conscious

  14. People give you crap for still liking cartoons

    Started in 6th grade for me. I am a freshman now. They give you crap for liking ANYTHING they find "childish." This is why I am introverted in school. I also have best friends younger than me, and they are my family friends.

    I'm moving on to 8th grade, but my friends say that they still watch cartoons.

  15. Knowing you'll go from the oldest grade back to the youngest grade

    This is how it'll be for me, except I was in sixth, going into seventh.

  16. Depression

    Grade 8 is where all my depression started. I blame my classmates and teachers who ignored me. They were traitors to me back then.

  17. All you want to do is leave middle school

    Middle school is so boring and hard.

  18. Nobody cares about your opinion

    I try to share my concerns about school, but it feels like no one listens to me.

  19. Boys get more annoying and immature

    I'm an 8th grade guy, and I'm finally recovering from being that one super annoying class clown no one likes. Two of my friends just broke up, and the guy is my best friend because he has strong atheist beliefs and is a jackass about it.

  20. Mood swings

    Definitely. This was terrible. Emotions are a mess.

  21. Algebra

    If anyone is reading this, don't do it. If you do, you will be bombarded with homework, and filler will cover up tracks of working on it at school.

    Since when does the alphabet get involved with math?

  22. You consistently want to die

  23. Two-faced people

  24. The deep thought that the person you like will never like you back

    I went out with this boy, we broke up, and now I want him back. But he keeps saying he's working on "something new," so now every day I think that he will never want me back and that he doesn't like me anymore.

  25. Your body starts changing

    My body just flat out turned against me! WHAT?!

  26. Bullies

    Especially if they blackmail you for telling on them. I told a teacher that this girl was being extremely annoying, and she told the principal that I said "n," even though I didn't.

    Profanity is banned in my school. Also, any words that can make people feel bad or cannot make people feel good are banned. I almost got expelled until I got "witnesses."

    This one is extremely true. This is the year where you have the highest chance of either bullying someone or getting bullied by someone. But after this grade, bullying starts to reduce really fast for the rest of your school career. Thank God for that.

  27. You get sweaty and awkward

    I thought this only happened to boys until I got to 8th grade.
