I was a huffy dark goth who liked to freak people out and scare them. I'd get piercings just to be extreme and edgy, my make up was dark and I wore black baggy clothing, I wore badges with edgy, mildly offensive things on them, shirts too. I wore tons of frankly gaudy looking jewellery. I also wore big heavy boots and it didn't matter how hot it got, I used to also embarrassingly try to act dark and moody. I would avoid smiling, I imagined myself to be cool but really i dressed like a twat and acted like a dick
@@deen_771 goth is cool. There's still little flashes of goth in the way I dress but I don't dress head to toe in only black like how I used to. Thankfully I don't try acting all dark and edgy like I did at 14 lol x
In middle school, you don’t really think about what you’re doing or saying. You just *do* things not thinking whether it will be cringe or not. In highschool you start to think about your actions more. This is what I have realized about middle school.
To share one of my experiences with middle school: It was my first drama class, in 6th grade, and I walked around the building, using a map, trying to figure out where it was. I only realized that I had passed it like 6 times when a assistant teacher and a friend who was in the same class found me. Thing is, all the rooms in my middle school were labeled.
My social anxiety and fear of being noticed was so large it was like i was just watching a ted talk except without jokes or interesting parts, never had a cringy moment in there but to be fair i never had any kind of moment in there too
It was a seventh grade field trip. We were going out of state when the coach busses. You know, the ones with the really tiny bathrooms on them? Yea, those. Well, I know you shouldn’t use them unless you want disaster, but it was an emergency. I didn’t even get to lock the door. Suddenly, we hit a bump. And the door swung open. And there I was, pants around my ankles, my crush standing right in front of me. Our eyes locked. I grabbed the door, pulled it closed, and finished my business. When I opened the door, he was no longer there. I knew I didn’t stand a chance after that event, so I gave up on him.
Bisexualbees The communist As far as I’m aware, he didn’t tell anyone, cuz nobody’s ever mentioned it to me. I guess this is something we’re both taking to our graves.
In 7th grade, my two best friends and I “made” a rap group. We even made a MySpace for it and named ourselves “the magical horsies” it’s hilarious looking back on it now.
I remember these cute girls hit on me. One of them actually had a crush on me and I wasn't used to that and was the new kid. Literally girls were starting to develop and I was intimidated and insecure. The girls were flirting with me and my friend. Very cringe shit. One of them starts being a goofball and puts a baseball down her shirt. Can't remember why but it was some trying to be cute/funny/and sexual shit. I saw issue with it and made a rant on myspace. Didn't think she ever paid attention to me. She signs my year book "nice myspace rant... :|" And it was like months and months later and I forgot about it. Cringe. Liz if you're ever reading this, I'm sorry. I just thought you were too cute to be talking to me without malicious motives or something. Idk. I'm sorry though xD
I don't have any cringe stories but I'm sure that I gave this one girl one. She came up and hugged me as if I was her best friend and I was confused and I responded that way and so the moment of realisation dawned upon her and she said sorry, explained that she thought I was someone else and walked away, likely in embarrassment
i once had a project where everyone in my class was supposed to write a story, and i got the idea to turn in a story i already wrote a while back just for fun, which would have gotten me an easy way out of the assignment without having to do any work. unfortunately my teacher kept forcing me to make more and more changes to it to the point where it would have made me do more work than everyone else, (and the idea was originally supposed to help me do less work, not more) so eventually i just abandoned that idea entirely and handed in a quick story i wrote up in 5 minutes instead
My fake friend abandoned our friendship for a bad influence who was supposedly popular. She almost didn't graduate middle school because the bad influence frequently got her into trouble with principal reports and failing grades. Her parents enrolled her to one of the rival high schools of our community just so she could lose contact with the bad influence.
i was a wallflower. was considered weird for liking to read a bit too much, had a tumblr account, grew up watching anime and was a massive homestuck fan. everyone would comment on how dorky my interests were but at the time i still had friends there. anyways it was picture day, one of the only days where we didn’t have to wear a uniform. my stupid lil self stayed up all night making a makeshift nepeta cosplay with one of my moms shirts, some baggy clothes and construction paper. i walked to the bus stop all confident, got made fun of at the bus stop and changed into the clothes i was gonna wear in my buddy photos, stayed in those for the rest of the day
That knitting one feels like me now trying to find someone to date. I'm a big knitter, it's one of my strongest skills, but it's not exactly something you see and think 'oh, I'd like to date you'.
I’m Irish-Italian, which means two things: I’m paler than the illegitimate love child of Edward Cullen and a Beluga whale, and I have body hair darker than a raven and thicker than Ice Spice. My legs looked like seared tofu dogs, my mother was against shaving, as she didn’t want me to have to deal with the upkeep, so she got me Nair, it worked for a while, but one day my twitter levels of sensitive skin decided it didn’t like it anymore. 1st-2nd degree chemical burns from knee to ankle, gym uniform was shorts, not fun. But on the bright side, my legs are so covered in burn scars that 80% of that hair never grew back. I wax now.
There where these two girls in middle school that fought so violently, girl A slammed girl B's head into a locker by her hair, denting the locker around her head so bad they had to cut it off of her and she had do have stitches....and then when girl A was inevitably suspended for 4 months and had to do some service, everyone who knew her in the school went into such a raging riot that the library almost went up in flames and the police where called. The police didn't mess with me because I took my work and went to detention.....because it was loud.
I accidentally jabbed a mechanical pencil into someone (thankfully not hard enough to cause serious damage) when i tripped on a desk. Hindsight is 20-20, i should not have growled. I was growling at that time, i don't know why. Had to serve 2 half-days of detention because of it.
Boi, do I have one! Ok, so it wasn't middle school. It was the 6th grade. Close enough. So, my school was having a dance or whatever. I, having been deluded by years of high school movies, thought it might be a good chance to dance with a girl or whatever. I got a ride from my dad, and on the way there he was telling me to lower my expectations and all that. Fool that I was, I didn't believe him. So, I get there, and I'm heading into the school gym, fully expecting to hear some Bowling for Soup or whatever. I open the door, and it hits me. The fucking chicken dance. Needless to say, I left right then and there.
I really wanted to be in a clique in middle school. Was for like a day. Actually still talked to one of the girls from the group on and off for several years after. Oh god I’ve got a better one. I had a big crush on a guy in chorus in like 7th grade who was kind of a loser it turns out. We had a stage rehearsal for a concert and he was next to me in the front row and I thought it was a great idea to hold his hand during a song. I tried to block our joined hands behind our bodies. Mot sure if my chorus teacher saw or not. The funny part is no one said anything and he actually let me for a while. Then asked politely for his hand back. Never turned into anything.
Oh god I remember this one time I was riding the bus I was like in third grade and there was a bunch of high schoolers riding the bus with us and it was so uncomfortable and they were so annoying i was also really scared that day
I removed the red cheap plastic horns from Halloween beret and glued them to my worn out white adidas shoes and colored them red with a paint marker. I wore them to school the next day and proceeded to wear them down the hall until someone kicked them off. 6th grade
When I was 13 I was obsessed with drama and boys, and bullying other girls, so one day I fought this girl and I was quite chubby at the time. She said “dont worry that Chubbiness will protect you.” …. Worst day ever.
In 7th grade I used to think I was a crusader because I was Christian, played DOOM 2016, listened to Sabaton, Powerwolf and chants, went to church and I even told myself that I was on a spiritual crusade. Once I kneeled during Da Pacem Domine with my bass guitar before playing. It was weird man. But now as a junior, it’s all good
Both my pants were high watered, I wasn't allowed to pick my hair cut and I thought giving comic art to a girl would work. Glad I got more control in high school and got game.
Can I be honest-- I'm terrified of going to public middle school. I am an early bloomer, going through puberty starting maybe 2nd-3rd grade, still in it now at 6th. All the 'cringe' shit you do in puberty had already passed me, as I did stupid stuff all throughout grade school. I'm scared of going to middle school. I don't want to be surrounded by middle schoolers. Also that I'm an oddball. Not the "OMG IM SO QUIRKY UWU OWO" quirky, the bad type of weird. I'm not confident and I don't like being around others. I've always been the type of person to be bullied/pushed around. Now's the age where they're gonna get physical, probably. How do I survive, I need tips here.
i've never been to "middle school" since my school was k-8, and i've never been bullied, but the best advice is don't be a doormat. if you're somewhere with zero tolerance policies, fight back if someone bullies you. even if you can't beat them, you're no longer an easy target. and fight dirty if you fear for your safety, there is no such thing as a fair fight. armpits (pinch), eyes (don't go for these unless you're desperate), neck, and knees (preferably the back of them) are good things to go for. and don't try to be someone else. i'm not saying "be yourself and you'll be popular", i'm saying everyone will be able to tell you're desperate to fit in. confidence is key. take a look at the popular kids, most of them will be radiating confidence. fake confidence until you develop it, not to fit in, but because it retrains your brain to be more confident. as for the early bloomer thing, it depends on your gender how that effects you. if you're a girl, the other girls might be jealous, but the boys will like you a lot more (lol). if you're a boy, i dunno what to tell you since i was a late bloomer (20 and still can't grow decent facial hair, lol). don't do drugs or smoke, it WILL ruin your health, if not your life. not to mention the cosmetic side effects. vaping isn't safe either, can cause popcorn lungs. stick to your guns and don't give in to peer pressure. and most of all, live. experience it. try out for that team you've been wanting to, ask out your crush, and look back on it all fondly once you're older. don't be afraid of failure, because if you don't try, you might as well have failed. wish u luck :)
@@Tinf0iI Thank you for the advice and tips! Since my original comment I've been feeling a little more hopeful. I'm just going to go by the flow, try and stay clean from smoking and drugs, act the confidence until I develop it naturally, and be myself. Thank you again for the reply-- I got this! :]
The amount of random crap you would see every day, one time there were random kids with badly made paper cutout animal masks, they were running abound in them, I still don’t get why they did it. Also my friends got LPS (littlest pet shop) toys banned, I have no idea how but uh yeah. (I’m from Australia) In year 5 or 6 we went on this excursion, uh let’s just say that the burger we ate the chicken wasn’t cooked and was soggy, someone put chips, lettuce, sauce and I think something else in their water (that was funny me and some of the other tables laughed our asses off when the kid got in trouble).
Proud to say that, even if I had my fair share of moments, I survived middle school and was (relatively) popular throughout my run. I was pretty fortunate, and admittedly, an asshole. But I do have one moment that stuck out to me. I had just entered 7th grade. I had a massive crush on this boy, who happened to be my best friend, and everyone knew it. I literally remember having friends trying to "set us up". I was positive that he liked me, so I decided it was time for me to make my move. Me and a friend had a sleepover, and my dad dropped us off at the high school football game. One, because my sister was one of the sideline cheerleaders, and two, because it's where all the cool kids hung out. We met them there, and after little-to-no convincing from my friends (I asked if it was a good idea knowing I was going to ask him out anyways), I pulled him aside from the rest of the group for a minute. "Hey, B, should I ask out my crush?" "Yeah, who is it?" (as quickly as possible, because I wanted to explain myself and tried desperately to be smooth): "Ok, don't let this make anything awkward, but-will you go out with me?" There was a long ass pause and he almost continued what he was doing. "I'll think about it." Then, another pause, because we just continued to both stand there, in the dead center of the hill where everyone (I mean everyone) was watching. God only knows why I didn't just walk away and wait for a response the next day. "I think it's gonna be a no from me, sorry." I remember vividly acting like I took it lightly, going to the bathroom, and BAWLING my eyes out. It was hilarious. The following week was hell. He's still my best friend to this day-and maybe I still find him attractive ;)
Not super cringey,but still worth sharing. I went through a creepypasta phase when I was in the seventh grade,and one day I started writing a Sonic.exe fanfic about me playing the game and freeing him from it and we become friends. I also told a girl I didn't even know about the story.
When I was in middle school, I had the biggest crush on Brock Samson from Venture Bros. and I wrote very cringey, detailed fantasies I had about him in my diary and let my friend read it. I hate thinking about it.
I regularly wore fairly thick fingerless gloves to school, and one day, I got to school early. There were some kids playing with the ping-pong table in the hallway and the ball went flying towards me. It hit me in the face and I reached down to grab onto it when it hit the ground. Unfortunately, due to the gloves, I couldn't get a grip on it. So these 5th graders were standing there while a pathetic tall, goth, middle-high schooler was practically pouncing onto this ping-pong ball like a moron. Eventually one of them got the ball and I hurried away while red in the face. Needless to say, never wore gloves to school again...
in 1998 8th grade trip to Opryland USA in Nashville, TN an amusement park, well we get there and find its closed, not for the day, but closed forever :( oops, no teacher or admin had looked up to see what happened, they found a security guard that told whats up, he managed to find a tour guide at the Grand Ole Opry so we got to tour around the Opry. 2nd 8th grade trip that year we went to Huntsville Space Center, been there a few times including the year before as I was at a different school for 7th, I knew so much that I could almost give a tour myself. the space center visit went fine until we came home, we had to stop many times to avoid tornado producing storms, this was the same day a strong tornado tore through downtown Nashville.
not even in middle school, but in 5th grade i turned in a Flash fanfiction (based off of the CW show), that was pretty much predicting/writing my version of season 4, for a graded asignment. im in seventh grade now (im pretty sure it was season 4, might have been season 5 idk but it was the season that came on netlfix in 2018 i think) and it was surprisngly good for a fifth grader but oh my lord was it cringey
I lacked self-awareness... like I REAAAAAAAAAAALLLYYY lacked self-awareness, though I am diagnosed autistic. Cue some of the hardest cringe material you've ever seen. It continues somewhat to this day, though thankfully I am much better at recognising it and stopping swiftly. So to my fellow classmates of Parkside Secondary, I am so sorry you had to put up with my autistic crap for 5 years.
When I was in 8th grade PE, we were playing kickball, and as I was running from 1st to 2nd base, the kickball tripped me, and I got an out. That was so embarrassing, but it was the only time I ever seen that happen.
Well my middle school cringe moment was in 6th grade. It was the first time I had worn boxer shorts instead of briefs; and well .... I was adjusting myself quite a lot that day!
My friends and I were all super into Warrior Cats and made our own clan and our own cat names. I dont really cringe at it because its a fond memory and i was just being a normal, weird 12 year old, but i am soo glad i outgrew that before high school lmao
lol my friends did that too, i wasn't really into it but i didn't have anything else to do. i was the "medicine cat" and i just mashed up random plants i found 😂
Fuck ahhhhh In like 9th grade my family and I were visiting my aunt in Dallas Texas. I guess my mom told her that the Funimation dub studio was in the area and I loved anime and blah blah blah My aunt surprised me and drove me there. And while I was excited an happy enough to just see the building my mom and aunt insisted that we all (including my older brother and little cousin) get out and try to go in. My anxiety is screaming because I know its a private office and stuff. So we go to the door and Mike McFarland opened the door along with like three other directors and producers. They came out for a smoke break but my mom again insisted on autographs and pictures INCLUDING MY COUSIN AND BROTHER WHO HAD NO IDEA WHO THESE PEOPLE WERE!!! Its been like like six years and I'm still mortified.
I wasn't really awkward or socially unacceptable until maybe grade 7th or so and then it all changed in 9th I wasn't socal at all I was jealous of my twin sister quite a bit now that I am older and going to special classes I understand it was all my fault to begin with
I have a picture of me with a haircut similar to the one in the thumbnail. I’m a girl, fair hair, and was very tall and tomboy-ish. I was a weird embodiment of “not like other girls, I’m smart” as a teenager. Jesus fucking end me. 🤣
This wasn't middle school but in elementary school I just wore a sweatshirt to school because it had the word _shirt_ in it so I thought it was a normal shirt. I was so hot.

Very true. So I know I was cringe in both middle school and high school.
So going to middle school and this shows me what not to do
Youre just starting to go??? Lol get ready for a ride child.
Have fun
Middle school's an interesting place...
Y'know crippling self hatred? Have fun with that :)
When I was in 6th grade there was a lot of kpop stans and weebs who would chase someone if they said they didn't like BTS

i would commit suicide if that happened-
Wolfynx XD
Please don’t joke about that. Suicide could be a sensitive subject for some people.
Middle school is the darkest part of childhood ever. Surprised that victims never responded with greater force.
It’s oddly comforting listening to these stories. I think I was nothing but cringe in middle school. Lots of crap I regret that still haunts me.
In 7th grade, my two best friends and I “made” a rap group. We even made a MySpace for it and named ourselves “the magical horsies” it’s hilarious looking back on it now.

i've never been to "middle school" since my school was k-8, and i've never been bullied, but the best advice is don't be a doormat. if you're somewhere with zero tolerance policies, fight back if someone bullies you. even if you can't beat them, you're no longer an easy target. and fight dirty if you fear for your safety, there is no such thing as a fair fight. armpits (pinch), eyes (don't go for these unless you're desperate), neck, and knees (preferably the back of them) are good things to go for. and don't try to be someone else. i'm not saying "be yourself and you'll be popular", i'm saying everyone will be able to tell you're desperate to fit in. confidence is key. take a look at the popular kids, most of them will be radiating confidence. fake confidence until you develop it, not to fit in, but because it retrains your brain to be more confident. as for the early bloomer thing, it depends on your gender how that effects you. if you're a girl, the other girls might be jealous, but the boys will like you a lot more (lol). if you're a boy, i dunno what to tell you since i was a late bloomer (20 and still can't grow decent facial hair, lol). don't do drugs or smoke, it WILL ruin your health, if not your life. not to mention the cosmetic side effects. vaping isn't safe either, can cause popcorn lungs. stick to your guns and don't give in to peer pressure. and most of all, live. experience it. try out for that team you've been wanting to, ask out your crush, and look back on it all fondly once you're older. don't be afraid of failure, because if you don't try, you might as well have failed. wish u luck :)
@@Tinf0iI Thank you for the advice and tips! Since my original comment I've been feeling a little more hopeful. I'm just going to go by the flow, try and stay clean from smoking and drugs, act the confidence until I develop it naturally, and be myself.
Thank you again for the reply-- I got this! :]
19:20 I did this but I was 11 years old and everyone thought I was cool, next year I went to another school anyways so it never became cringy.
The amount of random crap you would see every day, one time there were random kids with badly made paper cutout animal masks, they were running abound in them, I still don’t get why they did it.
Also my friends got LPS (littlest pet shop) toys banned, I have no idea how but uh yeah.
(I’m from Australia) In year 5 or 6 we went on this excursion, uh let’s just say that the burger we ate the chicken wasn’t cooked and was soggy, someone put chips, lettuce, sauce and I think something else in their water (that was funny me and some of the other tables laughed our asses off when the kid got in trouble).
Proud to say that, even if I had my fair share of moments, I survived middle school and was (relatively) popular throughout my run. I was pretty fortunate, and admittedly, an asshole.
But I do have one moment that stuck out to me.
I had just entered 7th grade. I had a massive crush on this boy, who happened to be my best friend, and everyone knew it. I literally remember having friends trying to "set us up".
I was positive that he liked me, so I decided it was time for me to make my move. Me and a friend had a sleepover, and my dad dropped us off at the high school football game. One, because my sister was one of the sideline cheerleaders, and two, because it's where all the cool kids hung out.
We met them there, and after little-to-no convincing from my friends (I asked if it was a good idea knowing I was going to ask him out anyways), I pulled him aside from the rest of the group for a minute.
"Hey, B, should I ask out my crush?"
"Yeah, who is it?"
(as quickly as possible, because I wanted to explain myself and tried desperately to be smooth):
"Ok, don't let this make anything awkward, but-will you go out with me?"
There was a long ass pause and he almost continued what he was doing.
"I'll think about it."
Then, another pause, because we just continued to both stand there, in the dead center of the hill where everyone (I mean everyone) was watching. God only knows why I didn't just walk away and wait for a response the next day.
"I think it's gonna be a no from me, sorry."
I remember vividly acting like I took it lightly, going to the bathroom, and BAWLING my eyes out. It was hilarious. The following week was hell.
He's still my best friend to this day-and maybe I still find him attractive ;)
mine was that, legit a kid said she could blackmail our art teacher, she was 12
Not super cringey,but still worth sharing. I went through a creepypasta phase when I was in the seventh grade,and one day I started writing a Sonic.exe fanfic about me playing the game and freeing him from it and we become friends. I also told a girl I didn't even know about the story.
When I was in middle school, I had the biggest crush on Brock Samson from Venture Bros. and I wrote very cringey, detailed fantasies I had about him in my diary and let my friend read it. I hate thinking about it.
My kindergarten- Sixth grade makes me cring to this day. The surprising part was I wasn't bullied.
I regularly wore fairly thick fingerless gloves to school, and one day, I got to school early. There were some kids playing with the ping-pong table in the hallway and the ball went flying towards me. It hit me in the face and I reached down to grab onto it when it hit the ground. Unfortunately, due to the gloves, I couldn't get a grip on it. So these 5th graders were standing there while a pathetic tall, goth, middle-high schooler was practically pouncing onto this ping-pong ball like a moron. Eventually one of them got the ball and I hurried away while red in the face. Needless to say, never wore gloves to school again...
in 1998 8th grade trip to Opryland USA in Nashville, TN an amusement park, well we get there and find its closed, not for the day, but closed forever :( oops, no teacher or admin had looked up to see what happened, they found a security guard that told whats up, he managed to find a tour guide at the Grand Ole Opry so we got to tour around the Opry. 2nd 8th grade trip that year we went to Huntsville Space Center, been there a few times including the year before as I was at a different school for 7th, I knew so much that I could almost give a tour myself. the space center visit went fine until we came home, we had to stop many times to avoid tornado producing storms, this was the same day a strong tornado tore through downtown Nashville.
not even in middle school, but in 5th grade i turned in a Flash fanfiction (based off of the CW show), that was pretty much predicting/writing my version of season 4, for a graded asignment. im in seventh grade now (im pretty sure it was season 4, might have been season 5 idk but it was the season that came on netlfix in 2018 i think) and it was surprisngly good for a fifth grader but oh my lord was it cringey
I used to beg people, including artists I really liked, to read my first (awful) fanfiction. Safe to say I regret both now.
I lacked self-awareness... like I REAAAAAAAAAAALLLYYY lacked self-awareness, though I am diagnosed autistic. Cue some of the hardest cringe material you've ever seen. It continues somewhat to this day, though thankfully I am much better at recognising it and stopping swiftly. So to my fellow classmates of Parkside Secondary, I am so sorry you had to put up with my autistic crap for 5 years.
When I was in 8th grade PE, we were playing kickball, and as I was running from 1st to 2nd base, the kickball tripped me, and I got an out. That was so embarrassing, but it was the only time I ever seen that happen.
The last one was wild lol
4:08 ok well that was a turn of events
No wonder there're almost no Middle School Dramas
Well my middle school cringe moment was in 6th grade. It was the first time I had worn boxer shorts instead of briefs; and well .... I was adjusting myself quite a lot that day!
I was the weird kid in art class back in middle school.
I met our new vice principal after breaking into the teacher's lounge. 7th grade. He was cool though.
My friends and I were all super into Warrior Cats and made our own clan and our own cat names. I dont really cringe at it because its a fond memory and i was just being a normal, weird 12 year old, but i am soo glad i outgrew that before high school lmao
lol my friends did that too, i wasn't really into it but i didn't have anything else to do. i was the "medicine cat" and i just mashed up random plants i found 😂
Lmao as someone in middle school all these are super embarrassing- how did some of y’all not know swears or inappropriate stuff in 6th grade-
i was pretty innocent until around 14 or so lol
2:59 YOOOO I KNOW THAT KID!!!

Ugh… my rapper phase. Can’t listen to the Beastie Boys song “Paul Revere” to this day.
So no one's going to talk about how the guy has Pizza Hut at his school
Fuck ahhhhh
In like 9th grade my family and I were visiting my aunt in Dallas Texas. I guess my mom told her that the Funimation dub studio was in the area and I loved anime and blah blah blah
My aunt surprised me and drove me there. And while I was excited an happy enough to just see the building my mom and aunt insisted that we all (including my older brother and little cousin) get out and try to go in.
My anxiety is screaming because I know its a private office and stuff. So we go to the door and Mike McFarland opened the door along with like three other directors and producers. They came out for a smoke break but my mom again insisted on autographs and pictures INCLUDING MY COUSIN AND BROTHER WHO HAD NO IDEA WHO THESE PEOPLE WERE!!!
Its been like like six years and I'm still mortified.
Okay
Crying because I didn’t get to be a pretend lawyer for a mock trial. Ooooof. I still like law, but HHHHMMMMNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH *Shivers*
I wasn't really awkward or socially unacceptable until maybe grade 7th or so and then it all changed in 9th I wasn't socal at all I was jealous of my twin sister quite a bit
now that I am older and going to special classes I understand it was all my fault to begin with
Is middle school really that bad? Cause I live in the uk so idk what it’s like over there
It ain’t that bad unless you act like a dumbass where you will get your ass beat eventually lmao 💀
I have a picture of me with a haircut similar to the one in the thumbnail. I’m a girl, fair hair, and was very tall and tomboy-ish. I was a weird embodiment of “not like other girls, I’m smart” as a teenager. Jesus fucking end me. 🤣
My school is full of cringe
Cockroaches coming out of most of the urinals in the boys bathrooms of the school
10:52
Getting a "shag" haircut. (This was in the 70's, I'm an old fart.)
This wasn't middle school but in elementary school I just wore a sweatshirt to school because it had the word _shirt_ in it so I thought it was a normal shirt. I was so hot.
woah you dont need to brag
