[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't have to feel insecure that there's a trend on this thread that some middle schoolers have had fewer negative social experiences and go to very diverse schools.

There are pros and cons to every situation. I'm sure kids who attend less diverse, UMC, schools have things about it they like a lot, that my family would really envy. And I bet some of those kids have great social experiences, too.

The topic of the thread is: Is middle school always miserable? 
People can say: not at my school and this is the reason why IMO

You don't have to discount someone else's experience.

It's not a binary thing.[/quote]

No one feels insecure.  But of course you thinks that’s what is going on.  People are pointing out that it’s unlikely, as some are suggesting exists, there is a unicorn middle school environment where everyone gets along all the time and all the kids are all inclusive, kind, empathetic humans.

I agree with you it’s not always miserable.  Not at all.  My kids have overall liked middle school.  But all have had their moments.[/quote]

It isn’t miserable for most.  When I was in middle school I wasn’t part of the popular girls crowd. But I wasn’t a social outcast or savagely picked on either.  I had a few friends and was largely just fine- as the vast majority of kids were then and now.  If your child is having a terrible time and is miserable, more so than so bad days here and there, that isn’t normal.  [/quote]
