had a middle school ex in seventh grade who called me a “weird bisexual” and “bowling ball /bowling ball stomach”. had another kid who was a popular girl spread a rumor abt me that i was a lesbian with a crush on her bc i asked for her number but stuttered saying it because i was very socially awkward. i was fat shamed sometimes in school and shamed bc ppl thought i was a lesbian because my ex-friend outed me when i said i had a crush on a girl
Was fortunate enough to have good teachers and friends so it was mostly enjoyable. I sometimes joke that I peaked in middle school, when I finally came out of my shell enough to have meaningful friendships, but had still yet to experience any sort of academic-related stress.
