I didn’t find middle school behavior to be particularly material for further social interactions in life. High school, college, yes. Pubescent bullies and cliques? Not so much. Puberty is hard enough without swimming in a sea of it. My experience was middle school was nothing like high school, college, or life afterwards. It was like some weird collective psychotic break for a few years then everyone went back to being normal. Sounds like a great time to explore the world and gain social skills that way.
