If a kid even appears the slightest bit nervous/scared via the way they don't make eye contact for most likely anxiety reasons and/or the way they walk/talk/look and dress (man you do NOT want to be that kid that had a bowl cut because your kind of drunk uncle at the family gathering the day before school totally still thinks this is cool in 1995 (or was ever cool). A.k.a. my dumbass, lmfao! I got another haircut a day later after this bowl cut because of how bad I got ribbed about it) etc. other kids will notice that kind of thing asap. Unfortunately moving schools probably won't do much to change all this.

I guess its kind of similar if you are working a doordash or grubhub job and going to a neighborhood you are definitely not a regular in. If you see a group of dudes either sitting on the porch or standing around across the way and they say something to you, this is going either two ways. 1. Don't be nervous, just say whats going on back. If you get a light-ribbing just laugh along and say "you know it man". They are then going to be friendly/cool with you.

2 You act all scared about them talking to you. Glancing down, not making eye contact, never say whats up back and start speed walking. They are gonna' mess with you now, lol.

School is sort of like that. Life is just that way man.

Middle school/ages 13 and 14 imo is the most vicious. Some people is getting that fast puberty compared to others and there is going to be some unfortunate targets.

Now me? This is basically me in middle and highschool, ignoring the chaos around me:
