Why does it seem like all jr. high kids are this way?

WHOA. You've recieved some really rude answers.\n\nBTW, nobodys a poser.\n\nI'm just going to say it like this. Jr. High is where you start finding out who you are. People are always going to try and be something they're not. It's life.\n\nI bet you are truely unique. Take me for instance. I am unique, I don't try and act like everybody else, because technically "everybody else" sucks. Everybody is different, but it's up to them whether they choose to live that unique life, or live like everybody else.\n\nIf your different from those kids who "claim" they Emo screamo bisexual creatures, or those "wanna be" gangsters...BE PROUD. Cause I'd seriously shoot myself if I EVER acted like that.\n\nYou can only be you. Like I said, people are going to try and act all Emo or Gangster, truth is...they're not. They using words/phrases to describe a life they WANT to live. But then again, its Junior High, kids aren't quite mature enough to see how they act is ridiculous.\n\nOh and cussing is in now a days, they seem to thinks its "cool" when it's really not.

I think that its because they feel liket they already screwed up (talking about the kids in jail). They are not loved by anyone, so they want to live an easy life style.

Sweetie it is always a big transition going from jr high 2 high school. Some girls still act like their in jr high once they enter high school. Don't put limits on yourself when it comes to meeting new people, you are your own person and high school is a part of growing up not only does high school help you spread your wings but it also helps prepare you for the next level. Tell your friends that you enjoy meeting new people and that you are not gonna limit yourself to just one group of people. If they can't accept it then its their loss and you will always be their friend but you feel that you are maturing and its time that spread your wings and meet new people. They will probally be mad at first but once they realize that its not jr high anymore their whole attitudes will change and they will start to see the big picture. Trust me its okay to have new friends this happens everyday its a part of life and you just happen to be one of those young ladies that has matured a little faster than your friends. We all out grow our friends at one point or another its just that some of our friends choose not to grow up.

yes, i agree with you times are definatly changing with the what they see on TV to what they see, hear about, and maybe even do in school...not to mention the responsibilty's that this time and age entale it could be that they are taking care of themselves and/or siblings or the very "grown-up" situations that they have to face everyday also good parenting of i guess our times could be a source for change not wanting their kids to grow up like they did, and alot of teens are taking a stand on what they believe whether it's moral or religious and such i guess the list could go on and on but don't get me wrong there are still alot of kids/teens that still act their age or less lol but the good in alot of ways out ways the bad

I have a daughter in the 6th grade. All I hear about is how her homeroom teacher will get mad at them for something, this really bothers her. She tries to please everyone. And then there is "the in group" if she doesn't have the right hair style or the right clothes, God help us all. In 6th grade it isn't all about boys, yet! I think it is really hard with the transition from little girl to young lady that concerns them most

Because "everyone else is doing it" regardless of whether or not it's actually true. I think a lot of it is just peer pressure.

Because that is reality.  Kids are cruel little beasts, especially to those that are different from them.

The emo kids I have met only present that way.  Well young adults I should say.  They actually seem quite adventuruous with consuption and sex.  Funny that.

Sometimes nothing, its just that some people call them by different names.  HOWEVER sometimes middle school would be grades 6 & 7 and Junior high would be grades 8 & 9.  Hope this helps.

Yes. Too many kids have a pack mentality. They shun anyone who has different views even if they are perfectly reasonable. It's hard for the dreamer, the shy one or the one who marches to a different drummer to be accepted.

Yes, lots of kids come here to get help with their homework, for all kinds of reasons I suppose.  Maybe with some of them their parents are too busy to help them.  It makes me a little sad when I see kids on here asking for help with the sorts of things I helped my kids with when they were in school.  \n\nSometimes they get good assistance here, and sometimes people give them rude answers or even incorrect answers.  Using the Internet for all levels of schooling is now a fact of life, so I don't think there is any way to prevent this.   Probably the best thing those of us who are concerned can do is to try to give reasonable assistance and help guide some kids through.  If nothing else some of them will remember that someone helped them, and maybe later on they will pass on that kindness to someone else.

I think that it is perfectly normal to feel this way. Actually most kids can't wait to grow up.  Most adults say "Youth is wasted on the young" At least you appreciate being at this stage, and hopefully make the most out of it. But I won't lie, it sometimes sucks in the grown-up world that's why a lot of adults including me, are afraid. Too many responsibilities. So be a kid while you still are.

You know I haven't figured that out either. I am the smartest girl in my grade so the way the those kinds of girls act is really annoying and immature to me. At my school a lot of the teachers suck up to these kind of people so I have no idea.

I can honestly say as an adult that I don't think ALL teens are loud, rude and ignorant. The problem is the few that are, give teens a bum reputation.

lol Sure as hell seems like it. Perhaps after they loose their virginity and have the dollars rolling in their high fliying jobs they can afford to change their looks or something....but then again these nerds look exactly the same when they're all grown up. Maybe it takes effort and time to look as cool and the rest of us (reguardless of our intelligence level) set different priorities in life. Like getting laid for instance, pretty high on the list.

Not everybody is like that...but a lot of people are.  They think their way is the right way, and the only way.  We call those kind of people close-minded.  Good Luck in your life.....
