Given that you have my genes, you should know that in middle school there are only two kinds of kids: those that are miserable and those that make them that way.
You’ll be in with the 98% that make up the former (sorry). Your only consolation will come several years later at your class reunion where you’ll learn that most of the other 2% are now convicted sex offenders ordered to be castrated in exchange for release on parole.
Trust me, it’ll all be worth it then.

I love that post. It’s short, funny and true. Middle school was hell on my first two kids, the other wo have had a great time. Go figure.
