     Image result for hall full of kids in a school

     As a 6th grader you may easily be intimidated by an eight grader. I'm gonna tell you how to deal with those pesky 8th graders. And for the most part how you'll view the kings and queens of the school for the next 3 years.This is definitley a game of taboo escpecialy when you actually become an 8th grader.
     As a 6th grader you see 8th graders as top of the middle school social hierarchy. They are bigger than you smarter then you and have more friends than you. You feel like an ant compared to the 8th graders. During 6th grade you slowly learn to ignore the 8th graders and live in harmony, you have your friends and they have their friends and if you're on a sports team you might have one 8th grader as a friend but that's it. You never think you'll ever be 5'9 or have that many friends and enemies but eventually you will.
     Now as a 7th grader your world starts to slowly collide with and 8th graders world. You have plenty of 8th grade friends and they're actually pretty fun. You don't see the 8th graders as threats anymore and for the most part they aren't really intimidating. They're just dogs in the dog park you're the shizu and they're the pitbull. You live in harmony with them and don't think you look that small compared to them anymore.
     As an 8th grader you'll see the 8th graders as you. You are now an 8th grader this definitley comes as a shock factor. No one is above you to tell you what to do. Climbing to the top of the ladder is definitley fun. You look at the 6th graders as so tiny and little ants. All of your friends will agree and you'll think well i guess they're just smaller than we were. But believe it or not yes you were once that small as an 11 year old.
