I have discovered that I kind of really hate my middle school self. But I guess, who doesn’t, really? Except for maybe those uncomfortable prematurely sexualized “popular” girls who peaked in middle school, and felt a slow decline throughout high school (in conjunction with their battle with weight/body image vs. birth control, and their coke problem. or maybe this was only applicable at my high school, ah middle class suburbia).
I would say that on a scale of popularity, I peaked in 5th grade. But I would also make a general rule that popularity, and your worth as a contributing and interesting member of society, are inversely proportionate.
REAL LIFE: This rule is also applicable to tumblarity.
