Kids at the age of 12-13 who are in their second year of secondary school.

Year 8 is where you will find all the chavs and roadmen.
Year 8's tend to muck about in lesson, gob off to older years and disrespect teachers. They think they are cool just because they are not the youngest anymore. But in the end, they just get laughed at by older years.
They also walk round school in massive groups and walk very slowly in the corridors. You're screwed if you encounter a group of year 8's in the school corridors, as you can't ask them to move because they will instantly start on you

Year 8s are the sluts of your secondary school who think their cool cause they are not the youngest anymore. You usually see them being cocky in front of Year 7’s,Year 9’s,Year 10’s and Year 11’s when they’re just saddos whoare in their second year of “big school”

12-13 year olds who think theyre cool because they vape,smoke and think theyre hard.
Not all of them are like this though, the quieter ones either get bullied by the chavs in their year or get bullied by chavvy year 10s making them feel like shit. ( from personal experiences).

1. The second year of secondary school.

2. teeny-bopper kids who think they're cool just cause they're not in year 7 anymore

3. Where most of the bullying happens

Arguably the most annoying grade in any Australian high school. Think they're the boss, when in actual fact, everybody except Year 7s laugh at them.

The guys are widely known to muck up in school. Teachers hate year 8s, mainly because of the fact they think they're the boss and disobey teachers and write on desks.

If there's any graffiti in the bathrooms, chances are it was done by a year 8. Groups of these little shits go into the bathrooms at lunch and write their tags everywhere. Pictures of these tags are sometimes even uploaded to facebook, to show other year 8s.

The girls are obsessed with whatever the latest trend for 14 year old girls is. Currently it's one direction but in the past it has been justin bieber, twilight and high school musical. They worship these things, including pointless facebook statusses telling everyone how much they are in love with them.

Some year 8 girls are sluts. The most laughable ones are the ones who hit on and try to get with senior guys (ie, year 11 and 12). OCCASIONALY these girls may get senior boyfriends, but they tend to be the guys on the chess team who play Magic the gathering in the library. Of course the year 8 girls don't care about any of this, they are happy just to brag to their friends that they have a senior as a boyfriend.

The year 8 girls whose heads aren't in the clouds tend to go for year 8 or 9 guys, but their relationships rarely last. A year 8 relationship lasting more than a month is VERY rare.

The most annoying kids. They think they're cool cuz there not the youngest in school. They walk in large groups walk so af and take up the whole corridor. They try and bully the year 7s. And act hard to all older years. They're still squeaky as hell and have baby faces. They waffle lots and feel good when they have fights. None of them can really fight and they stink. Year 8s think there roadmen when in reality there little pussies.

Bitches and Dumbasses who think they are the boss cuz they ain’t in year 7 anymore.They tend to have slags and chavs and they usually mess about in class.They don’t really care if they don’t do homework and tend to usually have fights.They also pick and bully year 7’s because they’re new and don’t know the surrounding areas.

Basically year 8's are the cool kids and they have lots of friends and walk around in groups. Someone from your form will probably like a teacher just for attention and all the other classmates tease and mock them about for liking a teacher.

the. worst. year. of. the. school.
This is the year where the teachers sort you into classes with the WORST people in the year group. If your school organizes a residential trip brace for stupid kids doing nothing and talking about dank topics. This year will also brew a lot of controversies.
