Middle school: hands down the most awkward time of my life. But you know what? That’s what middle school is for, shaking out all your embarrassing moments in one long go. And as middle school students (high school, too, I can’t lie) we do this amazing thing — we write down everything that’s going on in intimate detail to a friend on a piece of notebook paper because we’re so stinkin’ bored, and then all those thoughts are all but immortal. Well, one teacher posted a bunch that were collected over the course of her career, and the results might make you cringe with nostalgia. Take a look.
I’m guessing since this was part of the original submission that this was actually a total lie. I’m sure some kids’ parents don’t write well in English, but Mrs. Miller saw straight through this one. Gotta get clever, kid. I had my mom’s lefty-cursive mastered by seventh grade. Ah, such a delinquent. Check out the rest and let your childhood imagination run wild in the gallery. Check out a couple more at the source.
Did you ever get caught passing notes in school?

These are terrific. My mom teaches middle school so I’ll have to see if she has any, although in this day and age her students are probably just texting each other

I used to get anxiety attacks when teachers would take mine and my friends notes in middle school lol. But I used to love when other peoples’ notes got taken and read in class.

My old AP Lit teacher used to give extra credit if you gave him a note you found. He had a binder full of them from the years he spent teaching. There were some real gems in there!

while my teacher was talking about eating breakfast, my friend passed me a note about her being hungry, I told her to eat breakfast, and the teacher caught it and laughed after reading it.
I also have a binder full of notes

In grade 7, like.. 9 years ago now. Me and my friends would have our “mailboxes” (made out of tissue boxes) and would send each other notes all the time

When I was in middle school my friend & I would sit next to each other & write notes back & forth. I used to wish we had these magic notebooks that sent messages to her notebook so we could write when we were in separate classes, too. Of course texting had to become cheap after I got past all that.
