God, middle school was the worst. Sixth grade was the worst of the lot because everyone was terrible and cruel to each other, I dunno why... kids were 12-13ish so I think it's just that age. People mellowed out a bit in seventh grade but then you had to deal with the eighth graders picking on the "sevies".

The cliques were really pronounced in high school but it didn't result in bullying so much as it resulted in just... who you hung out with, I guess.

So yeah middle school was the worst.
