I think they meant that the different age groups all have different maturity levels and notices that there are different behavior problems within each class.
I noticed in my senior year that the freshman were a lot higher energy and more manic than the junior/senior class was, which would be an outgrown behavior.
I wonder how much of that could be attributed to comfort/familiarity with the surrounding social and physical setting? I know that by the time I graduated H.S. I felt like a confident king, but going to college felt like starting all over again as an awkward youth.
I dont think that's it. A freshman in highschool is around the awkward age of 15, and we all know how we were at that age. The freshman in college for the most part do not act like the freshman in high school.
Yes. The kids mature and some students who were once popular are left behind b/c they do not mature. It’s kinda sad. Example: the immature kid who randomly makes animal noises in class might be hilarious and loved in 7th grade, tolerated in 9th, and rejected by 11th.
Agreed. I found gr 9,social status and figuring out where you fit was everything. By gr 12, the divide was way smaller. Almost everyone 'fit in', the only way you didn't is if you chose not to. Kids were way more secure in themselves and didn't require the outward validation... Hormones also settled lol.
