5th graders are the worst. When I was in 6th grade nobody liked the 5th graders. Same story with 8th graders. With 5th graders, they're near the top of the food chain, but not quite there yet. So they have all of the balls and none of the earned respect of the 6th graders. In year 7, you get away with stuff because "oh look it's a cute year 7 they're so short and funny looking they just got here cut them some slack" in year 8 you lose that because youve been there for a year already and lost the cute privileges. Year 9s are just assholes. Year 10s are where they start to mature. Year 11s go back to being assholes again, but in a more funny way, and year 12s are too busy with school and work and all that nonsense to have any fun.
