When transitioning to middle school, students experience the phenomenon, moving from beig the oldest, biggest, and most powerful students in elementary school to being the youngest, smallest, and least powerful students in middle school?

The answer is "Top Dog Phenomenon".

The 'Top Dog' Phenomenon is something that a student encounters when he makes the change from either center school to secondary school or from secondary school to college. When you were in the eighth grade you were a ''Top Dog' since you were a high society man. A similar will be genuine when you turn into a senior in secondary school and proceed onward to end up a first year recruit in school, and, at last, when you enter the workforce.
