10 Lessons We Learned In Junior High…And Then Again Later In Life

You were stupid then and you’ll be stupid again
Even though I cringe reading every other sentence of my diary, I was a pretty mature kid. And at 12 or 13, I wrote, in my diary, “I know I’m going to look back on this and be like ‘I was so stupid.’ but right now I don’t feel like that.”
Anytime you mature and reflect on your past thoughts and emotions, you’re bound to feel a little silly. I know I have those moments now…like all the time. But there is much value in being true to your feelings, even when you, yourself don’t think they’re valid. And then you can laugh at your foolishness next year. This little “I sounded like a fool” phenomena is probably life’s way of keeping us humble.
What lessons did you learn in middle school that you learned over and over again later in life?
