had a middle school ex in seventh grade who called me a “weird bisexual” and “bowling ball /bowling ball stomach”. had another kid who was a popular girl spread a rumor abt me that i was a lesbian with a crush on her bc i asked for her number but stuttered saying it because i was very socially awkward. i was fat shamed sometimes in school and shamed bc ppl thought i was a lesbian because my ex-friend outed me when i said i had a crush on a girl
tl;dr: At the start of middle school it was terrible, bullying and sadness but by the end I had lots of friends, self confidence, I was getting attention from girls, just a complete 180.
6th grade, awful. Bullied, insecure egg. Very depressed
7th grade I realized I was taller and bigger than most of the other kids. Parents made me play rec league basketball and I would foul out every game swinging on jocks I didn’t like. I also got into guns, airsoft, paintball, hunting, and knives that year. People pretty much completely stopped messing with me and I made friends. Still a depressed egg but it was much more bearable only feeling bad because of what’s in my head vs how other people treated me
8th grade I started dressing better. People sometimes would ask if I was emo if I wore all black but not in a bullying way. I had long hair and I started straightening it. I’d tell people I was metrosexual and somehow never got made fun to my face for it. I was still repping guns was identity and knocking people over, smacking kids playing basketball. Still a depressed egg tho
