Is high school better than middle school?

I hate middle school so far it's been hell 7th grade destroyed every bit of happiness I had -6th grade:fun but I lost my very best friend of SEVEN years by some mean girls -7th grade: depression on steroids I got bullied day in and day out -8th grade : see you in hell. I'm so over this These have been the most akward and most insecure years of my life I had very few good memories and over all tird I'm finally in my second semester of 8th and just want to get out of here. Trust me when I say it's been bad and I have so MANY phases I regret .I'm not expecting high school to be like high school musical or anything but I want it to be at least better than Middle School. Everyone around me said they like high school better than Middle school even if they had a hard time...
