Middle school was a rough time due to the way they organized the school district. Tons of kids getting introduced to each other as like 4 different elementary schools merge into a single middle school. However by the time we all hit high school my class really fucking mellowed out and I quite enjoyed my time in high school.

Interesting how that all works out differently for certain people. I have very fond memories of middle school despite it only being two years. I think what must have helped is that for the core subjects, I had both the same teachers and same classmates in every single class for both years. I guess I was also fortunate that my best friend from elementary school happened to be in every one of those classes too. And my cousin. But we all were able to make friends with our new classmates pretty easily I remember.

High school was mostly okay, but in the final two years my own emotional issues really started to mess things up for me and it resulted in two things:

1. It caused me to lapse significantly in my schoolwork
2. I hurt someone I cared about through emotional abuse

Both of those things I still think about often and still have massive regrets over. So I don't know if I'd call that PTSD, but toward the end, high school was definitely a bad time because of it.
