Traumatic Middle School, and High School experiences? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brad Russ · 07-02-2006, 01:34 AM

When I was in the 7th grade, I had this very bad experience in school. I guess I had just started puberty at that very moment, when all of a sudden, a very strange odor started coming from my underarms. I had never experienced it before, so I was really freaked out, so I tightened my arms to my side to try to trap in the odor, but the friction just made me sweat more, and made it worse. Within no time, kids started noticing, and within five minutes, the whole class moved away from me and were laughing, and calling me stinky. I had been held back in kindergarten, and so I was a year older than the other kids in my class, which explained to me why I was going through this before they were. I gotta say though, the sick part of me absolutely loved it when about a year later, these same kids who mocked me, started going through puberty themselves, and suddenly kids were laughing at, and moving away from them. Meanwhile, I'd be sitting there fresh, and smelling like a daisy laughing laughing my ass of as hard as I could, the same way they had done it to me a year earlier.

Ahhh, revenge can sure be a sweet when you're a kid!!!

The funny thing actually happened to me the same week the embarrassing incident occured. Well this is actually both funny and embarrassing at the same time. My parents were broke for the month, so I had no way of getting deodorant. So one morning, I woke up really early, and got into both my mom and dad's car, took their two little tree air freshener thingies, and put them under my arm pits.

I figured this would be a good way to smell good without deodorant, and for most of day, I smelt good and fresh like a beautiful pine forrest,but unfortunately, in the middle of gym class, I started noticing a nasty aroma of B.O. mixed with pine, which made for one of the most ghastly smells I had ever smelt. Once again the kids notice, and it was after this moment, that I knew my middle school reputation would always be tarnished because of these two horrific childhood events. So let me just say to all you 13 to 15 year olds out there, NEVER FORGET YOUR DEODORANT BEFORE GOING TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wearing it everyday will make your junior high days far more happy, and memorable, and will save you from moments that you will look back at with utter embarrasment. LOL!!!!!

When I was in 7th or 8th grade, a friend of mine said something to my crush about me while I was in the same room. I was mortified.

In 7th, a friend of mine had a little problem with her period protection so to speak, and it ended up all over the back of her pants. I'm soooooo glad that never happened to me.

And prom was just one big traumatic event!

I fell down the bleachers at a basketball game during my freshman year.

G-Force Glockstar · 07-02-2006, 01:15 PM

omg it would take me weeks (and I'm NOT exaggerating!!) to say all the bad things that happened to me in middle school!!

The worst thing that happened to me in 6th grade is that I was the biggest NERD in school and wore the ugliest clothes and me and my best friends would always get in fights and they'd all hate me. Plus, I got teased by mean people 24/7!

In 7th grade, I constantly got called ugly by boys!!

In 8th grade, I still constantly got called ugly by boys......I had strong hopes of being popular because there was this popular group who were all my friends and would ask for me to sit with them at lunch every day! But then that popular group split up because they all got mad at one girl, so I felt like crap then......then that one girl, Kayla, I told you guys about started hating me and talking about me behind my back just because I wanted sex!

MIDDLE SCHOOL IS HELL!!! I'm really looking forward to high school.....not!

In 6th grade, I walked into the wrong classroom

That was embarrasing.

In 7th grade, my teacher accused me of flirting with my crush when i wasnt really. That was really embarrasing cause she was my crush and all

In 8th grade, the whole YEAR was tramatic. People were stupid and yeahh my grades were falling and it just sucked overall. The best part was that I got to graduate that piece of crap. But one time I left grapes in my backpack for like a week and yeahh it made the whole locker room smell *-*.

I had this friend who was a grade behind me in school. This one time, she told me a first-period story (it wasn't hers, thankfully). They were in 7th and I was in 8th when this happened. The 7th graders were at lunch one day. For a while, they had teachers sit at each table, as there was a serious behavior problem. My friend was sitting nearby when this happened. This one girl was sitting next to one of the teachers at her table, and she was wearing white pants. When the girl got up to go dump her lunch tray, there was blood on the bench AND she had a gigantic blood stain on the back of her pants!! She started her first period in that lunchroom, sitting next to her teacher.

My friend and I laughed about that...Sucked to be that girl.

That's funny you mention that, because I was in school the day I got my first period.

It wasn't traumatic, though, so it's not worth sharing. Just keep a Ziploc bag with pads in your backpack if that ever happens so that you don't have to buy a pad from the vending machine in the restroom.

Nighthawk76 · 07-02-2006, 02:02 PM

My entire two years in junior high was a traumatic experience.

However, that isn't really something I feel comfortable sharing.
