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.

Probably 6th/7th grade. My mom joined the school board around that time and started ruffling a lot of feathers and in general being needlessly meddlesome. The teachers targeted me to try to get her to back off. They'd poke fun at me, "lose" the homework I'd turned in, mark my grades down for petty reasons, etc. That is also on top of the constant bullying by other students for being one of the Unpopulars™.

8th grade got a little better and then after that, I departed from that awful school district and the rest of my time in secondary school improved substantially.
