When you're in 7/8th Grade, that's the year with the biggest height gap, because that's when most kids get their growth spurt. So, suddenly you're 12/13, and all the kids one or two years younger look like hobbits.

When you hit 16 though, all the youngsters look the same, and you start feeling a little old, too~
