People say high school is hell. But at least when you get
there you know who your friends are, what kind of classes you’ll take, and
you’re through puberty. In middle school, you may know 1/10 of the students,
you’re classes are either boring or too difficult, and your body is in the
midst of evolving. In Middle School,
a podcast entry by This American Life, Ira Glass discusses why the formative
years are so difficult while attending school. He interviews
middle school students, teachers, and people who have studied on the subject matter, with a
wide range of responses. He discusses dances, bullies, and the first time
students realize the opposite gender may not have cooties.
