What is the biggest problem you remember having in Jr. High school?

The worst problem in Jr High was having to put up with the seniors since we had 7^th through 12^th grades in the same building. I remember one day when about four of the seniors decided to have some fun with me and it was again due to my size. In our school we had a ramp from the 1^st floor to the 2^nd floor. It had one turn in it just as the stairs would have had if they were in there. It was apparently made so that wheel chairs could go from one floor to the other. The problem with it though was that the side was only about three feet tall. So there you have the best set-up for some hazing seniors and they took full advantage by holding me upside down over the edge of the ramp so that I was looking down about 8 feet to the floor of the ramp. Well here again it didn’t last very long and they didn’t drop me but never the less I was scared. I remembered that little experience and never even threatened a 7^th grader 5 years later as a senior in the same building.
