Everybody is very familiar with the awkward middle school phase. Everybody went through it. It is all part of the middle school experience. However, it seems like middle-schoolers now are skipping the awkward phase and it is not fair, to be honest. Everybody in middle school should have to go through the awkward weird phase.

That is just a part of it. You see people in middle school now who look like they are seventeen or eighteen. They need to go shopping at Justice and Aeropostale like the rest of us. They need to wear Silly Bandz up to their elbows. Middle school for me was the time where you were judged for every little thing about you. Here are a few trends that were popular when I was in middle school AKA throwback to 2012. Also, enjoy some of the personal pictures to prove that I was a follower of a lot of these trends.
