Typical Life of a Teenager

Another lengthy, humdrum day of being a middle schooler. The second you arrive to school, the second you walk through those front doors, the second people lay their beady little eyes on you, you’re automatically being judged. While you’re in middle school you will be evaluated on things like your clothes, your hair and your makeup . Every day is like a day in the jungle- there are tigers and poisonous snakes and you’re just the little old sloth that no one pays attention to unless you’re either perfect or dying.

Here in middle school, there are groups of people who are judged and labeled for hanging out with each other. There are: the populars, the jocks (which are all gorgeous, I must say), the geeks, the losers, the cheerleaders, the loners, and the no-bodies. If you’re not popular, rich or flawless, you’re a no-body. As sad as it may sound, people who are in one clique are basically forbidden to talk to another unless it’s a dire situation. Once you find your  group of friends that you want to hang out with, you are stuck with them- there’s no moving to different friends.

First and second period are always the worse; no one seems to remember that they had homework.  Girls here are more concerned about flirting with boys or making sure their makeup looks perfect rather than doing their homework. Boys here are typical boys-annoying, obnoxious and clueless about the world around them.  When third fourth and fifth period come around, things begin to spin into the norm again, everyone is awake and more focused on what they’re doing. When the day winds down and people head home, everyone comes out of their fake shells and can be themselves again until the next, brain washing day.

So welcome to middle school! You will be critiqued and refereed on what you wear, how you smell, how your hair is, how much your family makes and even how popular your siblings are. You can be the most popular, get the best grades, be the most approved of by the teachers, but if you make one wrong move, you will be deducted all the way down to the bottom of the food chain again, and have to work your way back up. Have fun here and enjoy your stay.
