6th, 7th and 8th grade. I felt that they were the worst because, everything I remembered that was built up from the previous grades just fell apart. I was involved with an unhealthy friend circle and didn't really care for it, I lost the friends I actually cared for prior to this circle. Nothing felt that innocent and true anymore.
Then I would say Junior and Senior years of high school. I felt they were a great contrast to the more colorful freshman and sophomore years I had. I was starting to have feelings about how directionless I really was and how I felt I was going to be very lost after it is all over. I was also grasping to the fact that I may not have all of the friends I've acquired throughout my time in high school, something that wouldn't come true until about 18 years later where all but a few are just gone.
