In their own words:

“There are so many changes: braces, first crushes, new friends, lockers that are always getting jammed, learning how to deal with six teachers at one time, homework that just gets harder, approaching that dreamed-of-but-uncertain future.

“My mind is crazy and cluttered constantly with things like, ‘Does my outfit look off? I hope that person likes me. I’m so hungry I could eat a cow! That was due today?!... Jeesh, it’s too much! I need a nap.

“I always have so much to do, and my thoughts are always racing. Middle School! A crazy, weird time that rushes past in the blink of an eye. How do you capture it, summarize it, and make sense of it? Especially when you’re in the middle of it? I can’t tell you what it means to grow up... I’m still doing it. I can just tell you what we’re doing right now and how we feel about it.

“That’s right...we’re in the middle of something.”
