It's okay James, us 7th and 8th graders know we're the worst too

James: what do you want to be when you grow up Me: alive

when i watched this, i was in 5th grade. i had no idea what to expect when going into middle school. i didn’t even need to worry about turning in my homework / assignments late, or my grades in general. so i didn’t need to take the advice. now, since im now a sophomore in highschool, almost a junior, i can finally understand what he meant by this. and he’s right, sometimes i remind myself on that whenever i see i that i have like 5 missing assignments. time flies

Anyone in 2024?

When your in quarantine so you decide to binge watch TheOdd1sOut

Who else is here to find that "one frame" James spoke about I was his newest video?

i drink expired milk

I watched this video in 6th grade. I am in hs now and looking back on it you are flawlessly correct.

James:when you are an adult you will look back at you in seventh grade and you'll hate yourself Me: *in 7th grade* I Already do James

James: 7th and 8th graders are the worst kind of people Me: (summer after 8th grade) yeah they are

As an 8th grader, i con confirm that this is true, even 6 years later.

I recently finished reading your new book I love it so much

7th and 8th grade was the time I had the most brilliant and original idea of... STARTING a MINECRAFT LET'S PLAY CHANNEL!!! ...God, I hated 7th grade me...

Theodd1sout: 12-14 is the worst years to be alive Me: welp i guess life sucks

Why this video is 7 years ago

James: No one looks back at themselves when they're in 7th grade and think, yeah I was alright. 7th graders now: Laughs in pandemic

when you're a 7th grader and your not triggered because you know this is all true

i'm in 8th grade and i know i'm cringey as hell

"You're gonna look back on these years and hate your self." Too relatable

I hate the fact that, if you were in 7th grade when this video was uploaded, you would’ve graduated high school by now.

James: what do you wanna be when you grow up? Me: loved

James: What do you want to be when you grow up? Kid: *Dead*

As an 8th grader - can confirm. I hated it, my last year was cringy as hell.

as a 8th grader, i can confirm that 8th graders are the worst living organisms alive

As an 8th grader I have never been so offended by something I 100% agree with

No one: James: She doesn’t like being picked up

Am I the only one who feels utobliated and weird that I’m happy he acknowledged the “looking back at 7th grade thing? Finally someone said it lol!

As an 7th grader, I 100% confirm this is true.

JAMES: *throws shade about 7th and 8th graders* ME: “but I’m in 7th grade” JAMES: “unless you watch my vids then your cool” ME: “ok I see how it is”

I wish James would chaperone my field trip! :D

"7th grade is a just one big popularity contest and everyone's losing"

ok im a seventh grader and watch you religiously ok? when a chaperone catches my attention im very clingy. its not that hard to do that either so if you had chaperoned us when we went to ASU I likely would've recognized you. because your awesome and I know your voice

“Seventh grade sucks.” -Literally ever person under the sun

"I have over 1.8 million subs on youtube" 3 years later and you're over 13 million. Insane.

I tutored math for middle schoolers while I was in middle school. I got a paycheck for it, which was cool and made me feel like an adult.

Yes! Other people agree that 7th grade is the worst grade, I don't like thinking about it.

I'm in seventh grade and I regret nothing. . . . . *E X C E P T E X I S T I N G*

Theodd1sout with 1.8 million subs back then: Now: Laughs in 16.4 million

The cut you did said “she doesn’t like being picked up” IT TOOK SOOOOOOO LONG FOR ME TO FINALLY GET IT

Your my fav yt.Sometimes my dad tells me to do something and I just watch your vids.

As an 8th grader, I can say, we are the worst kind of people. i cant stand it. oh. im part of the problem.

Don’t worry James, you have more subs than ricegum

I really felt that when he said your gonna look back at these years and hate yourself

Can we collab

Past James: Heyyy I have 1.8 mil subs Present James: I have 13 mil subs Future James: I have 100 mil subs

“ 7th grade is a popularity contest and everyone is losing” - James Me: ... ok

As a senior it’s hard to believe this came out when I was in 7th grade

i remember watching this video when i was in middle school and thought i wasn’t that bad but now i look back and hate myself LMAO

Me in 7th grade: James is lying I'm not as bad as he says Me in 8th grade: Oh my god he was right

“7th and 8th graders are the worst unless you watch my videos,” Awww, thanks

5:23 Honestly, I feel like that's a big thing-at least for me, I can understand what's being taught, but trying to keep up with the _assignments,_ kills meh. Now, I am speaking as a high schooler (I was a gowd boi in middle school), but if I tried to turn in every single assignment for my classes, I would probably strain my exhausted, sleep-deprived body and mind to the point that I'd be getting panic attacks every weekend. It's happened. It's also happened that my grade for a single class each year has collapsed to a 40-60 due to missing work; then that grade shot up to a safe, secure grade of 80 because I turned in late work, or the work I was able to submit later in the quarter covered up the zeros sufficiently. I'm just thankful my classes this sem hardly give homework! (And are also generally gooder, last sem was shit) Also whaat is all this about middle school drama?? I have never experienced this??? Or maybe I'm just out of the loop (which I'm fine with tbh)

Love your videos so much

Hah, I’m grade 9 so now I passed “the worst” stage.. Or did I enter the new “worst”..

"your gonna look back and hate yourself" Me then: lol no Me now: Oh so THAT'S what he meant

The beauty school drop- I mean the successful college dropout

I love your videos so much

so now instead of “i have over 1 million subs in youtube” it’s “i have almost 10 million subs on youtube”

as an 8th grader, I agree, we are horrible 78% of the time😂 (Edit) yoooo I've leveled up to highschooler

Me as a 7th grader that grew up with you feels honored

I'm a Sophomore in High School. I hated all of Middle School.

James : hey what do you want to be when u grow up Kids: garbageman! James : well you can do that with Coll ... Oh wait

I love how you use Tim Tom as a kid example

these animations inspire me to learn to animate

“7th graders are the worst kind of people” Me: 7th grader “Unless you watch my videos, then your cool” Me: YYYYYYAAA

James: “If you watch me your cool” *Finally, I’m cool.*

I Love your work

The first time I watched this was when it first came out. I was 15 about to turn 16. Now, I’m 22 about to turn 23 and I’m watching all of James’ videos again!

(She Doesnt't Like Being Picked Up)

How to be casual with James: HEY KIDS I HAVE 1.8 MILLION SUBS ON KZfaq!!!1!!!!1!

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ALOT I Watch THEM everE DaY

As an 8th grader being called 'cool' by james is the biggest compliment I've ever received.

I am 72yrs old and am not kidding, all my friends have no clue about youtube or smartphones, my grandchildren think that I am like all other grandpas and I suck at using technology, but infact I know a lot more than them, I just let them think that I suck at it because they find great joy teaching me about it. I make apps for android as a pass time(I was a Chemistry teacher and taught 11th graders before retirement). I just wanted to share this because besides of my wife, no one knows this side of me. I do wanna tell my grandchildren that I can "make" the games they play on their phones all the time, but I won't. I don't know why but after watching this video, I just felt like writing this comment. Thanks for reading my long comment.

"you're gonna look back n these days and hate yourself" I'm 13 and already hate myself lmao

He’s like his roommate with the basketball cards

I love your Netflix series!❤

Ha! Jokes on you! I already hated myself in 7th grade

3:55 Kid:Rice gum? James:UUGH EEW 🤣😂

I remember when he did the sprinkles video I'm literally so proud omfg

I just started working with kids in my freshman year- it's rough man.

Me in 7th grade: Psh I’m not that bad Me now: Wow James was right

Then Teachers : alright what u want to be when u grow up Students: a doctor , actors,police Now Teachers :what u want to do when u grow up Students: a youtuber

Yeah This is about 7th graders and I'm watching this 7 Years later

Odd ones out thank you so much for giving me the hat instead of the mug I LOVE IT and it arrived yesterday. I'm in urh grade btw so I'm so happy to have e some of your merch! You are awesome. And now I work at soooub way😎 your videos are awesome btw.!

"Will you tutor 7th and 8th graders?" "Ew" 😂😂😂

She doesn't like being picked up. Her feelings toward being raised off the ground are negative. Of the female gender this human being has a lack of positivity towards being raised in elevation. A female homosapien strongly abhors the idea that one would lift her off the ground. By use of arm's in a gingerly manner, she would most likely suggest in a very concerned tone that it would be a grim idea to "pick her up" off the ground. Because her consent is not given to the other being, she will not be raised in elevation and will remain stationary until further notice, or until she can no longer maintain homeostasis.

This is why I’d never want to chaperone with middle schoolers when I grow up it would be so awkward.

I’ve finally grown up enough to become a seventh grader and watch this for the millionth time. And I agree with him 👍

Other Sevies: "I'm so cool and popular!" Me: "I DONT EVEN KNOW ANYONE HERE"

See mom? James says I'm cool.

As a 7th grader, I can confirm all of this is true. Good job on being accurate James.

I remember in lockdown/quarantine I would just watch James instead of listening to the teacher on zoom

"7th grade is basically a popularity contest and everyone's losing" honestly this actually is very much philosophically hitting hard hahaa

With all the kids I've talked to on the internet, ok that sound wrong. -James 2016

Crazy how I started watching this dude when I myself was a 7th grader and now I am a freshmen in college 😭 I MISS MY YOUNGER YEARS

1:12 I remember seeing this video in 4th grade and being like “ha, that won’t happen” I hate myself from then

*single tear rolls down face* _finally someone isn't making fun of the freshman_

James: if your a seventh grader then no one wants to be your friend Me: laughs alone in a dark room under a blanket

Watched this video when I was in 6th grade and was worried about 7th grade but then covid hit and I skipped that grade completely. What a save

Bro literally summed up my 1st year in middle school

Well now a days the higher the sock the cooler you are
