What are the differences between 8th grade and the other middle school grades?

Question

I'm going into 8th grade...just wondering about all of the things that make 8th grade different than the other 2 grades...I know there aren't too many...

Answer 1

i wouldnt know im going into 8th grade also :/

also, my school is pretty new and they built the building in a way where we are kind of seperated so im not sure.

Answer 2

nothing reallu

Answer 3

The only reason eighth grade was different for me was 8th-grader-itis.  The minute first quarter was over, I was ready for the entire year to end.  There were so many shadow days at our local high school and 8th grade retreats and 8th grade track days and 8th grade programs and 8th grade trips and 8th grade dances and 8th grade graduations and promotions, that the year went by so fast.  The major difference is the plain fact that you're the "top dogs" this year, so to speak.  You get all the perks and don't have to worry about anyone being older than you or making fun of you because you're a little seventh grader and whatnot.  Cherish it!  Savor it.  It's your last year to feel like "big fish" (as my old teacher would say) until you're a senior in high school.

Answer 4

Well, it has more work and is harder than 6th and 7th. But you have more freedom since you're almost a highschooler. I am not sure. I am going into 8th grade too...

Answer 5

nothing really!

but at the end of the year you get a party :D

Answer 6

I'm going into 8th grade too!!! In our school, the 8th graders get to go on all these awsome over night trips, and have their own dances without the 7th graders.

Answer 7

8th grade ahh if your school is like ours you will have a 8th grade graduation!Nothing is really different.They just try to prep ya a little more for high school.But really not any different.School is school boring in general.High school isnt as dramatic as all say.Just keep your schedule and keep your head up high.Highschool is funner tho.Good luck through the 8th grade.Oh and they give you the s*x talk and youll get the period talk too!

Answer 8

Im going to 8th grade too!

At my school [i dont know if its the same for yours] its supposed to be easier and the 8th graders are supposed to have more freedom.  They said the teachers are nicer and we switch classes more and get to know more people at our school.  I really wouldnt know though thats just what i've been told.
