Personal Narrative: Being Alone In Middle School

413 Words2 Pages

My first years of actually being alone in school were in middle school. You see the school I went to wasn't the best but it was better than some of my other options. The beginning of middle school wasn't that hard, but after 6th grade it all went downhill. When I first started middle school I was a straight A student. My 6th grade year was also one of my most traumatic years leading up to high school. This was the year my grandparents whom I basically lived with moved out of state.

He didn't like to get mixed up with too bad of things so he kept his stock pretty simple; weed, coke, and a few other things I never touched.

Her brother eventually got caught up in some stuff and locked up, and that’s when I stopped.Elizabeth and I were forgotten by the members of T-flats. My 8th grade year was when I started skipping school and giving up truly. I could care less about school so I skipped and went to the beach or went to a friends house to get trashed. My mom eventually pulled me out so we could move
