Middle School ... seriously kids

So there is something seriously disfunctional with the Lovett Middle School. I mean, I had so much fun in middle school. Because school wasnt so hard I had time to do things that I wanted to do. But it seems like everyone I talk to that has gone through Lovett's Middle School has a an eating disorder or an addiction of some kind. And it is continually reffered to as the worst time in peoples life. And then, somehow magically, it seems that when someone hits the 9th grade, everything is fine again. People becomes friends again and everything is just huncky dory. It is another one of those things that I just might never understand.
