 Middle School Story

“I never realized how many different kinds of people there are in middle school. There are people who

were born with a silver spoon in their mouth and people always have the cat in their tongue. When I

started middle school, I realized everyone had their own style. Some kids every cloud had a silver lining.

These kinds of kids never gave up, even if they got F in math.

Some kids are like backseat drivers here in the middle school. They always want what they “have to

have”. They’re just plain bossy! Trust me, there aren’t a lot of people like this, only about one in a million.

Some other kids are always behind the eight ball. They never seem to be in a good position. They are

always out of luck! I feel bad for them!

I also met some beggars who can’t be choosers. They always beg for a better grade, and with their

attitude they get picked to go to the IMC to get things; or do special errands for the teacher.

Some of my favorite new friends are in the bowl of cherries, always-wonderful easygoing people. Oh, I

also met some bulls in a china shop; if you give something fragile they will break it as quick as a torpedo

can spin. Also they love to butter up their teacher. Some kids chew up the scenery when they lose things.

When they do, they go over things with a fine toothcomb.

A couple of the new friends I have met bite the hands that feed them. They usually can’t see the forest for

the tress and bark up the wrong tree. They are handful to work with, and their bark is worse than their

bite. Some kids are up to some kind of monkey business. As long as the crow flies, they will air your dirty

laundry in public and add fuel to the fire.”
