The majority wins

After reviewing the results of the poll I have decided to stop telling everyone about my horrible middle school days. It seems that people are not interested in how I was a complete loser in Middle School but became a well adjusted adult. I had more horror stories in 6th grade but I will just summarize them now.

1) My parents wouldn't let me shave my legs even though I had black hair and I looked like Wolverine from the knees down. (They let me shave them in 7th grade)

2) I thought shoulder pads were super hip even though no one else was wearing them anymore.

3) I tried to start a trend by using the square curling iron on my bangs. No one else followed my lead.

4) My gym clothes were hand me downs and so they were tight and short. Unfortunately, no one else had tight and short gym clothes. Finally in 7th grade I asked my parents for new gym clothes and explained how everyone mocked me. (I thought $20 dollars was too much to ask my parents for.....silly me)

5) I wore a sweater that looked liked a rug for picture day.

6) I always had a running nose but no tissue.

7) I was my height (5'-10") and developed in 6th grade. I was called "Jolly Green Giant" by my classmates.

8) No boy liked me not even the nerds.

So there is a summary of my 6th grade life. I gradually got better and less nerdy. In High School I had a great time. In fact, I was voted "Best Looking in Spandex" and was Royalty my senior year. So even though I was a complete loser in middle school I was able to rebound into an amazing teenager. (I think it was the Dr.Pepper. I started drinking more in high school)

You're like the ugly duckling turned into a swan! Although, I seriously doubt that everything was as heinous as you say it was. Trust me, I cannot understand why my parents always insisted I was so pretty when I had such a chubby face!! Thanks for the recap, though, I enjoyed it!
