Why is Middle School so hard?
&gt; Why is Middle School so hard?<p>Because it&#x27;s mandatory, and you are forced to be around lots of people you don&#x27;t really want to be with. You are forced to learn things you are not interested in at all, while being punished for not performing well. And all that, while your body goes through a major transformation sexually. There can only be very few people enjoying that. For most it is a horrible way to end their childhood.<p>And we (parents, governments) think it is beneficial, until the kids come from middle school and cannot find a job that easily, often ending up doing completely stupid work like cashier or whatever else for the rest of their lives.
