Why is Year 9 such a weird time?

I'm going to Year 10 now and I was recently reflecting on Year 9. It was (personally) an awful time for me. I was a rebel for bunking off school but still behaved well (I guess?) My classmates also changed a lot too. Did you not enjoy Year 9 or was it actually not bad?

year 9 and year 10 were lit for me
I won’t ever experience banter like I did then lmaoo
why was it awful for you OP?
Please don't call yourself a rebel. Anyway I found year 9 a strange year as well my main group of friends changed and I got very stressed out about doing maths at foundation level. When I look back I laugh at how wet I was but I agree year 9 is a strange year

it was due to family problems at home and having no friends whatsoever. that's why I bunked so much, I didn't see the point of going to school anymore rip.
Year 9 was the ***** Year for me. Everyone decided to be jerks to each other because they thought puberty made them hardcore when in reality it made them a stinky pimply faced schmuck.

When I think about it, people were probably more rebellious than me but my actions were bad :/. But yeah, I see your point. I also struggled with Maths! Were you happy with your new group of friends, though?

I had similar experiences too, everyone was a lot more harsh and meaner lol. Was Year 10 and Year 11 better tho?

TBH not really I'm not just saying this but I used to and still am friends with the so called "popular group" but I realised that I wasn't good enough friends with them to meet at the weekends or in the holidays on a regular basis so I changed group with three people I really like and 3 I'm kind of indifferent to. Even though they weren't the best at least I went out a lot and didn't find myself bored

Ahhh, that makes sense, I seen people do the same things too. I wish I had at least indifferent people as my friends rip.

Year 9 was so weird, but looking back it was one of the best years of school. So much banter, and a time where confidence was high!

There was banter sometimes when I was in Year 9 but I can't relate to the high confidence rip, more like my confidence got lower!

Yikes, that sounds awful man. I'm hoping Year 10 will be the time where everything is focused. Depression and suicidal thoughts are so exhausting rip. Wishing you luck on changing forms though
