Mhmmm, as someone in their mid-middle school years, I relate on a personal level.
Entering middle school, all the girls are extra hormonal. They mostly complain and whinne about random things, most of which aren't even relevent. They bully and harass anyone even remotely different than them, even though they are the most basic people. They are so obsessed with looking 'cool' and 'preppy' and 'popular' that they are now devoid of all personality, and their only personality traits are being annoying, constantly gossiping, giggling, and saying slay every two minutes. I say just ignore them. The more attention you give them, the more annoying they get and the more they try to weasel their way into your business. Half the time, they know little to nothing about you but will happily judge you nonetheless. Most hurtful and confusing thing is half of them are people you used to be friends with that ditched you because you refused to be a preppy bimbo like them.
The sporty popular dudes aren't much better. A lot of them are teacher's pets, and some are even the sons of teachers. They act so hot and important but their only defining characteristics are being 'attractive' and playing a sport. They have no personality and take gym class way too seriously. They will bully and harass you for no reason. Half the time you don't even know them, but they will happily make fun of you for simply existing.
My best advice to you is to ignore them and try not to associate with any of them. They are the kind of people to be fake friends and talk bad about you behind your back. They seem like good people at first but the minute you get to know them you realize how horrible they are. Middle school isn't fun, but just bear with it. It gets easier to manage the older you get, trust me.
