+340 Everybody says they were ugly in middle school, but when you think back on it, it truly seems like you were the ugliest most unfashionable kid in your grade, and everybody else looked fine. amirite?

Agreed. I wanted to cry when I found my sixth grade yearbook picture.

Ditto.

I actually covered it up with a sticker because I never wanted to look at it again.

5th & 6th grade, I was just. Oh goodness... Just horrible. I don't know how most of my friends came from those two years. I guess they liked being friends with the girl whose hair was never going the same direction.

I was such a loser in middle school. I wore athletic tennis shoes, put my frizzy hair into a ponytail, had braces, hung my lunchbox on my backpack and spent my lunch in the library.

in 6th grade I rarely brushed my hair, had buck teeth, & unlike most of my friends didn't wear a bra or shave my legs even though I certainly needed to. I shudder thinking of it.

Fuck, me too. I wanted to, but living with just my dad it's awkward to ask for a bra or to shave my legs. Make matters worse I didn't even wear deoderant. Gross.

I can sum up my whole middle school wardrobe in one word : Areopostale.

I let my parents pick out my clothes in sixth grade. My dad always, to this day, likes me to wear clothes 1 or 2 sizes too big. So I wore baggy, manly polo shirts and baggy jeans. I had no sense of style so my clothes usually didn't match, and thanks to my dress code I had to tuck in my shirt and wear a belt every day. My jeans were highwaters half the time too. Also, I didn't own a straightener, so I put my afro-ish hair into a ponytail (like this: http://images44.fotki.com/v1467..._4376-vi.jpg). I also had terrible acne, and didn't shave my legs or armpits, and wore ugly athletic shoes every day, had no boobs and didn't wear jewelry. I walked out of the girls bathroom one day and an elementary kid (I go to a K-12 school) told me that he thought I was a boy. Nobody can even try to tell me that they were uglier than I was in sixth grade.

Trust me, I can almost guarantee I was uglier. Ive struggled with my weight most of my life, and middle school was such an awkward time. I didn't know how to dress my body, I owned no jeans and instead wore khakis or ugly sweatpants (like even for sweatpants, they were fucking ugly. And too short. And probably gave me camel toe) and pullover sweatshirts (as if that would hide the pudge). I never straightened my hair and didn't know how to tame the fro, so I stuck my curly mess in a pony tail most of the time and had a matted puffy fro pony. I was just a hot mess, looking back on it is humiliating.

I might be a little biased, but I feel like I was worse. It sounds like we pretty much had the exact same hair situation, and our clothes were both bad. But I wore baggy highwaters, I had really, really bad acne and didn't even shave. It's not like I didnt wear short sleeves or gym shorts either.
