Does Jr. High Ever End?

You can ask just about anyone, and they'll tell you that at some point throughout their 6th-8th grade years of life, things got a little rough. If you're a girl, you probably went through that awkward I-don't-know-what-to-do-with-my-hair, I'm-not-sure-how-to-wear-make up, what-the-heck-do-I-wear phase, coupled with shopping for new cup sizes when you just got used to that training bra. If you're a guy, I'm speculating you went through something like what-the-heck-just-came-out-of-my-mouth-that-can't-be-my-voice, along with I-wonder-how-far-I-can-get-this-zit-to-shoot-out-of-my-face, and coming to the realization that girls are more than an alien species on the planet.

Along with all these changes, there was the inevitable drama. Girls not talking to other girls because so-and-so likes the number one hottie at camp, and is flirting non-stop with him even though her bff just broke up with him and can't believe that so-and-so is even talking to him, therefore none of the girls are talking to so-and-so because of this, at least not in front of the bff.

If you are male, and none of this made any sense to you, here's the reader's digest version: girl won't tell her friend that she's upset. Now, guys aren't completely Innocent here... but they typically don't carry a grudge like a girl. The sad thing is, I'm seeing this kind of behavior continued throughout life.

High school, college, and even now that I'm "grown up," I still see it. People who are inconsiderate, making others upset, and neither party will fix it, but rather are quite content letting it fester and grow out of proportion.

And so my question is, and still remains to be answered, does Jr. High ever end???
