for me, id have to say 7th and 8th grade, but mainly 8th. full of hormonal, crazy 13 and 14 year olds who harassed me, found my number and address, and treated me like a subhuman.

Maybe 5-6th grade, where I was bullied since the 1st grade non-stop and one of my coping mechanism perchance thanks to my homophobe mom, was just being blatantly hateful towards this group, but bum bumm bumm this silly little me realized that I'm actually bi af in 5th grade, so that definitely dug my self hatred in an even more profound level. I needed 7 years to change my internalized homophobia into self love and coming out.

Life can be whacky, but I'm deeply proud of achieveing this feat.

Message to OP: Make a post some days later with the complete opposite question. Spread some positivity :3
