+442 I still remember being 12, and everyone in the class would yell SHEILD! because someone was passing around boy cooties. Now 12 year olds spend their recess taking pictures of themselves and crying over boys because they actually WANT the cooties. amirite?

12 is what 6th/7th grade usually? Most kids are over cooties by that point and more interested in pursuing the opposite gender (or the same).

I don't remember thinking boys had cooties when I was 12... I think maybe more like 8.
