Middle school was tough. I’m not denying that. You’re learning pointless shit in school. All of your friends are on the same emotional roller coaster as a pregnant woman but it’s happening at different times to every person you come into contact with, and no one understands it. You feel this weird pressure to start kissing boys, but then to also be a little kid. Not to mention, you look fucking disgusting. Every part of your face and body start growing independently of each other, and nothing comes together. You probably have braces, and you don’t know how to use a straightener. The bad part of puberty hit you like a brick wall (your period) but all the perks, like your boobies, haven’t come in yet. It’s awful all around.
Behold, my transition from eighth grade to ninth grade.
I’m confident when I say the sweater t-shirt and center part were still bad choices, but the point is, in middle school, I really did not know what was up. Which is why this Twitter account for the class of 2019 — people currently in the eighth grade — is so incredible. Here are some gems from @The2019Seniors.
sometimes I wish I could go back in time and tell 7th grade me to do everything differently

Same.
I just hope I don’t lose most of my friends when we start high school

Every single person in middle school is a bad person. Trust me, you want new friends.
we’ll be high school freshmen in less than 6 months, just let that sink in

It makes me nervous that you have access to strangers on the internet.
wow 6th grade me was so ugly
— 8TH GRADERS (@The2019Seniors) March 17, 2015
Based on what most 13-year-olds consider to be an appropriate amount of eyeliner, I’m going to go ahead and assume “8th grade you” is not your “best you” either.
8th graders > 7th graders

Yes, eight is bigger than seven.
8th grade is mostly just "can I get a ride"
— 8TH GRADERS (@The2019Seniors) March 15, 2015
If my memory serves me right, ninth and tenth grade were “can I get a ride.” Eighth grade was “MOM SAID YOU HAVE TO TAKE ME.”

It’s weird because their 21st birthdays, marriage, and babies aren’t even on their radar.
freshman year needs to be a lot better than 8th grade
— 8TH GRADERS (@The2019Seniors) March 10, 2015
Yeah, you go from big shit on campus, to the tiniest least important people in the school, so I don’t know why it wouldn’t be.
RT if your hw still isn’t done

This deserves endless RTs.
freshman year advice: if a senior wants to hang out after 11pm he just really likes your personality
— 8TH GRADERS (@The2019Seniors) March 8, 2015
Nothing good ever happens after 11 P.M.
Current mood: really need money
— 8TH GRADERS (@The2019Seniors) March 8, 2015
For all the gas you don’t need to buy, and the clothes your parents are legally obligated to buy for you?
It all ended after 6th grade pic.twitter.com/f2bC0yowj1

After sixth grade, we all give in to the ‘hood life.
self reminder: we’re still young and we’re not supposed to have our whole lives figured out yet. don’t stress. everything will work out
— 8TH GRADERS (@The2019Seniors) March 6, 2015
So true. Preach.
I hope high school doesn’t change everyone into different people
— 8TH GRADERS (@The2019Seniors) March 4, 2015
You will regret saying this when you are 22 years old, dating a man child who hasn’t changed since the eighth grade.
I can only imagine how embarrassed I will be about 8th grade in a few years
— 8TH GRADERS (@The2019Seniors) March 3, 2015
That’s deep.
Girl Scout cookie season: infiltrate the dealer, find the supplier.

It’s you, isn’t it? You’re a Girl Scout.
8TH. GRADE. SUCKS.
— 8TH GRADERS (@The2019Seniors) March 19, 2015
I think you’ll make it through..
