Eighth grade

Eighth grade is the term used for the year of education in the world. Students are usually 13 – 14 years old at the time they enter eighth grade. The eighth grade is typically the last year for Middle school, and the ninth year of public and private education, following kindergarten and subsequent grades. Similar terms, for example Grade 8, are used in other countries (see below).

Eighth grade is usually the third of three grades or the second of two grades of middle school, or the second of three grades or first of two grades in junior high school, although some systems mark it as the final year of elementary school and some as the second year of high school (in Quebec or parts of Australia for example). In countries like India and Pakistan, Grade 8 is commonly known as Class 8.

  • In Nigeria Grade 8 is the last year of Junior high, as there are no Middle Schools in the Nigerian education system, it is also the first year after Primary School. Pupils (called learners by the Department of Education) are between the ages of 13 and 14.

    8th Grade

    by: Pencey Prep

    Caught staring again
    Like a deer in the headlights
    When I can't move fast enough
    I take a hit for the team
    Pretty girl is blushing
    I can't tell if she's disgusted
    Laughter starts to swell
    Like someone gets the joke
    Bell rings
    I make my escape
    It helps a little
    But doesn't save
    Beat down's a common thing
    It happens every day
    Maybe I'm just strange
    Cause I don't change schools
    Maybe I like the abuse
    Or maybe I'm just like you
    Another confrontation
    You've got something to prove
    Your girl can't tell how tough you are
    When you beat me up in the boy's room
    I made a big mistake
    But I can't help who I like
    This may not cost my life
    But I am branded forever lame
    This was not my decision
    You were born with good looks
    And a solid right hook
    Whining makes no difference
    You bruised my eye
    It doesn't hurt at all
    One day I'll rise above
    And you will take a fall
    I may be beat today
    But I will survive
    I'll get up off the ground
    Stand tall and fight
    My eyes don't hurt at all
    I would rather die
    Than be your whipping boy
    School year's almost over
    Summer is one day closer
    As God is my witness
    I will never be a victim again
