Surviving Junior High School: A Guide for Teens

As a teen Junior high school in general hard enough to survive. I had to be to classes on time, I had to make it to your locker before the second bell rang, I had to be in 1st period by 7:35am, I had homework, I had to pass tests, and mostly I had to have passing grades.

However Junior high was also the wort years of my life, not only was I new to the school, but I was also fat. I had no friends, and oh yeah, did I mention I was fat?

You see in Junior high a teen begins to plant their seed, and these are the most important years that tells the rest of your peers if you are popular or not. People began forming clicks, they had friends, and they had rival clicks...but in general it didn't matter if they had a rival, because they were all popular, no matter what group they belonged to. Then there was the handful of kids that were just there, that no one said much to nor did they bother. However the loners preferred to be alone, and something mysterious about the way they were attracted some of the popular people to them.

Then you had your freaks; the ones who wore all black, and would attach chains to their ripped jeans; this group of teens would be picked on only because they choose to dress like freaks. Their torture though was limited, because we all knew a pair of Jnco jeans still cost $70. They had money, but dressed like they didn't.

After this group, you had your nerds. These kids were smart, always ugly and always talking about star wars. These kids got picked on, but they had back up. Each other. Good luck picking on a nerd when they have 20 other nerds to back them up. As geeky as they were, they had cover, they had a click; although they were not popular.
