You swear sixth graders are getting smaller each year. It's not just an illusion based on your size. amirite?

Kids in general have to be getting smaller. Five year olds are smaller, 6th graders are smaller, 7th graders are smaller. Even freshmen are smaller!

I was about to say "or kids in general, if you aren't a middle school prepubescent boy", just to be mean and point out the fact that the OP is in middle school and probably filled with emotions.

I'm a high school senior. I do like to think I'm in-tune with my emotions, among other things.

OH, so you're going to middle schools to observe the sixth graders to see if their bodies are maturing properly? That's nice and... creeepy....

My cousins in PA go to a school that K-12. It's huge.

I hear of a lot of those here. But most of them are private schools. I have never heard of 6-12 though.

You kidding? In my town, the sixth graders are taller then the Seniors. And the fourth grades are only a inch shorter then that.

Wow!! That's crazy...to me the OP's right...everyone is shrinking dramatically. 9th graders look smaller than my eleven year old brother. :

I know right. I see them and I'm like "There's NO WAY that I was that tiny in sixth grade. No frackin' way."

I'm in seventh grade. I remember being in kindergarten and the seventh graders then seemed so much bigger than the ones now. I feel too short to be going into eighth grade.

I always see them as the 3rd graders from when I was in 5th grade.

It's true! Last year I was a freshman and I was one of the shortest in my class, and this year there's a whole bunch of freshman who are way shorter than I was last year.

I'm only in 7th grade and I'm a short kid. 75% of the sixth graders are TINY. the others are extremely tall. but thats beside the point. sixth graders = little

There's this one kid in 8th grade who's 3'11" and doesn't have any form of dwarfism.

I'm only 4'11 so most 6th graders are pretty tall to me. My 11 year old brother is taller than me and I'm going into 10th grade.
