text: I think that all grades starting from middle school and ending in high school are hard if not very hard.  If I had to choose which grade was the hardest I would either say 8th grade, 9th grade, or 12th grade.  When your in 8th grade they ( the teachers ) are trying to get u prepared for high school, its the same thing with 12th grade, except when your in 12th grade they are preparing you for college and the life ahead of you.  In 9th grade you are just starting out in an new school.  Everything around you I would think is new to you.  I'm only in 8th grade and I think it is pretty hard so right now I would say 8th grade, but maybe in the future my aspect of the grades will change.  It depends on your aspect on life you cant rely on other people to tell you how hard something is, you just have to see for yourself.  It's up to you.
