Description:

Suddenly they go from striving for A’s to barely passing, from fretting about cooties to obsessing for hours about crushes. Former chatterboxes answer in monosyllables; freethinkers mimic everything from clothes to opinions. Their bodies and psyches morph through the most radical changes since infancy. They are kids in the middle-school years, the age every adult remembers well enough to dread. Here at last is an up-to-date anthropology of this critically formative period. Prize-winning education reporter Linda Perlstein spent a year immersed in the lunchroom, classrooms, hearts, and minds of a group of suburban Maryland middle schoolers and emerged with this pathbreaking account.…

Prologue: at least they can't shove me in



I can't believe the day's almost over



Everyone else thinks it's a stupid plane crash



Any girl will obsess over at least 1 guy in their life



Stop! don't touch! get Out!



I'm scary enough as it is



There's always next quarter



It's not you it's me



I can't make her do anything



I barely ever have a chance to make fun of anyone



But what does this actually have to do with real life?



Purple, is that close enough?



I don't care about the snack pass



Not much just chillin'



It's the jackie show!



I'm not that curious anyone



I love yo more than words can say



Sometimes I wanna say stuff, but I don't wanna say stuff



Another survivor of the woods



She started humping me! and I was like :-O



Now you have the persentage of your love



She's lost to us



This is the most I ever typed in one day!



Why do people always take sex as a play thing?



There's nothing to be scared of in middle school


Epilogue: You get good at something and then you move on
