Personal Narrative: How Middle School Has Affected My Life

Improved Essays
It all started when I was in middle school, although its affected me my whole life. When I started growing up more than the rest of the students and not growing in a good way. I was gaining more and more weight, while everyone else was staying skinny. I was always the bigger person, always being called fat, slow, pig and other hurtful names. I just came to the fact of me being a bigger person. I was a very picky and nonactive child. It caused me to just eat junk food and stay inside because no-one would do anything with me. As years went on through middle school, I was becoming a high schooler next year. I was able to get a girlfriend at the end of 8th grade year and I spent a lot of the summer with her. I thought high school would be okay with someone by my side. Going into freshman year, I …show more content…
I’ve had thoughts about how I could I improve myself, How I could become the guy I wanted to be. Ive tried many techniques to release stress, gaming, exercise, and when I had a girlfriend, I did stuff with her. Time pasted from sophomore year, things really never changed for me. I still stayed as a depressed teen, who didn't care about anything in the world. The number of songs that I have listed too just to get my mind off of things is high. As of today, I still periodically get small affects of depression, just day or two where I stay to myself and think how I can be who I want to be. Most of the depression that I actually got was caused because of myself, no one to help nor no one that caused it. It just was the mental image I had of myself that I never have liked. If i didn't like myself, who else is suppose to like me? As of May 3rd, 2017, I weighed myself at 295. That the most I have every been, it hurt when I looked down at the scale and saw it. I almost started to tear up because I don't like who I am, but I will work on improving

    Was talking back to the teachers when I didn’t want to be bothered. I treated people bad trying to release pain that I didn’t know how to deal with. Those so called “friends” was bringing me down for more failure. Parents were looking down on me, but I did have this one friend who was trying to be positive leading me in the right direction. He eventually found ways for me to not be around those negative minded people by doing things I like to do such as playing pool and go bowling.…

    In the seventh grade, I faced a large transition in life. The previous year I had experienced middle school for the first time, but I would make that entrance again. I moved from Texas to North Dakota, where seventh grade was the first year of middle school. I took on those same fears and hopes that I had faced before, but in an unfamiliar place where I had no one except for family to give me support. I tried a lot of new things that year, mainly wrestling.…

    The past few years have been really hard for me when it comes to mental health, and I want to share this story hoping it reaches out to someone who doesn’t think they have a voice. It all started around grade eight, I was this pudgy kid that didn’t really have a lot of friends, but worked really hard in school. The friends I did have were not necessarily popular in any way, but to me they were awesome. Somehow though, I got caught up in rumours and bullying, that’s where things took a turn.…

    Before I express these thoughts and feelings, I must say to anyone referenced in this that I am not bitter what so ever. I am not blaming anything on anyone.

    Yes, math has always been hard. I even struggled in Elementary school because I was always behind on subtracting and dividing. Yes, I did struggle in Middle school because we start new topics and do examples, but I'd still be a bit confused and then I'd ask my friends, but it would only help a bit. When I would struggle with a problem , I'd feel like I was just plain stupid, because there were times when everybody in the classroom would know how to do the problems and I'd be the only one there staring at my paper.…

    When I was a naïve little girl in middle school, I always had a problem speaking up for myself whether it was to stand up against a bully, answer the teacher when called upon, or voicing my opinions to my close friends. I’ve always had a problem with voicing my opinions and speaking loudly because I was fearful to be judged or to feel useless when I spoke them. I was an awkward adolescent, 14 year old girl who had many insecurities and always muttered under her breath when called on in class. I was shy when it came to just being myself in front of my other peers. My shyness and insecurities didn’t really help with the fact that I had to do presentations in front of the class and had to socialize when we were paired up with partners to work together.…

    I did not know that four years in high school could change a person as much as it could change me. When I first entered high school as a freshmen, I expected my high school years to be like what I witnessed in movies and television shows; I was somberly wrong. Over the past four years, I have experienced heartbreak, misperception, and self-doubt. However, I am thankful for these seemingly hopeless situations because they have shaped me into who I am today. When I started out my freshmen year of high school, I had one thing on my mind: Madeline Maynard.…
