listen, middle school sucks. i agree. BUT! hear me out!!
teaching middle schoolers is a genuinely entertaining career.
i think they get such a bad rap because no one really has fond memories of being 13, which makes sense!! going from child to teen and not even really being a teen yet is difficult and confusing. not fun!
but they still have the most random childlike shenanigans that i love to be apart of.
they are little humans who shock me with an f bomb every now and then but also make me origami and paper crowns, and it gives me a reason to wake up in the morning.

Acting nonchalant and aloof to try to seem cool is a tradition among teenagers dating back to ancient times! There are bible verses where a mother wonders why her sons can’t be more like that David boy who slew a giant. (no there aren’t)
But I agree with you that it’s worrisome these days when there aren‘t many paths to economic security that don’t require putting effort into education.
Something I realized decades after high school was the small group of kids playing Dungeons and Dragons at school were really onto something! They were a close group who did something creative together even though the rest of the school looked down on them.

leaves you susceptible to dating someone for too long because they play a role rather than it being about who they are. if you go in open to every situation, it will play out as its supposed to naturally (sometimes with a little nudge)
