The Causes and Effects of Eighth-Grade Syndrome Throughout History

Errata

Section 5 describes the evolution of eighth-grade syndrome cases from trigger to trigger. The key point is that sufferers proceed through a series of triggers, adapting their case to assimilate each subsequent trigger. For a supernatural power-type case, the real world is typically one of these triggers, and so their imaginary world typically contains fragments of the real world.

For the remaining sections of this article, various historical and cultural phenomena will be named as results of eighth-grade syndrome.

6  The Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich Manuscript is an illustrated hand-written text in an unknown writing system of approximately 20 to 30 glyphs dating back to the fifteenth century. All attempts to decode the text have failed. The text is divided into six sections, each expounding on (supposedly, based on illustrations) different aspects of the (or a) world. Of particular interest in this article are the “herbal” section, which depicts various plants, each with a set of notes, and the “cosmological” section, which contains circular diagrams which depict a universal organization.

Few of the plants in the herbal section are identifiable with any certainty. Many are unidentifiable as any known species, and some are chimaeric of existing species. The organization of the herbal section is similar to professional herbals of the time. The cosmology does not correspond to any known cosmologies.

The origins and purpose of the text remains a mystery. All theories have supporters and refuters, and all fail to provide a satisfying explanation of the text. This text may be explained, however, in terms of eighth-grade syndrome, and this will be done in this article. In this light, the Voynich Manuscript is the product of a supernatural power-type case of eighth-grade syndrome dating back to the fifteenth century.

The text describes the world of the sufferer, which is constructed partially using various elements of the known world. Most plants in the herbal section do not correspond to known species because they are not of this world, but the sufferer’s imaginary world. Similarly, the cosmological section describes the cosmology of the sufferer’s imaginary world.

The writing system has yet to be decoded because it is a writing system invented by the sufferer (a common occurrence). It may or may not correspond to any known language; however, judging from the strangeness of many writing systems and grammars developed by modern-day sufferers, decoding may require considerable effort.

In the interest of time, any further expansion on this topic will be performed in the final version of this article.

The Idol President section was cool and all, but damn. Takatoshi and Dried Squid: Max Power! would be a valid spinoff all on its own.
All in all, a pretty entertaining episode.

The Causes and Effects of Eighth-Grade Syndrome Throughout History

4  Eighth-Grade Syndrome

The acquisition and onset of eighth-grade syndrome are separate entities. The acquisition is characterized by the adoption of an attitude and mindset, while the onset is characterized by its symptoms—observable behaviors. There is typically an asymptomatic period between acquisition and onset, during which testing for the condition returns positive, but behaviors have not surfaced. In this sense it is similar to HIV/AIDS, and many who have experienced the condition consider this an apt comparison.

The duration of the asymptomatic period is not well characterized, but typically lasts from one to two years for cases with visible onset. The onset is typically marked by a trigger, which may be exposure to a symptomatic case of eighth-grade syndrome or intellectual material of an eighth-grade syndromic quality. The nature of the trigger is typically visible throughout the case of eighth-grade syndrome as part of its trajectory.

Triggers, and resultingly, cases with visible onset, may generally be placed in one of three general categories: rebel, subculture, or supernatural. Many more specific categorizations fall along the boundaries of these general categories. Several triggers for eighth-grade syndrome are described alongside the effects of eighth-grade syndrome throughout history in the following sections.

A  The Mindset of Eighth-Grade Syndrome

Eighth-grade syndrome is an extension of teenage angst which includes a desire both for attention and to be special which typically presents itself as a feeling that one is trapped in the wrong “world” or “body.” It is also characterized by the placement of undue emphasis on things of little consequence, such as minor verbal connotations. The self-consciousness and desire for attention may also result in delusions of grandeur.

B  The Rebel Type

A rebel-type case of eighth-grade syndrome may best be characterized as following the typical trajectory of teenage rebellion. In order to meet the thirty-minute time limit, the author refers the reader to watch several teen films, such as Rebel Without a Cause and Teenage Rebel.

C  The Subculture Type

A subculture-type case of eighth-grade syndrome pursues self-qualification in the immersion into a community with tastes contrary to what is considered “normal.” This immersion is typically done in imitation of others without a proper understanding of what the subculture truly values. Common examples of this type of eighth-grade syndrome includes hipsters, furries, and international anime fans, especially those who watch “fansubs.”

D  The Supernatural Power Type

A supernatural power-type case of eighth-grade syndrome is characterized by an obsession with a field of study, such as mythology, religion, magic, extraterrestrials, or anything pertaining to the occult. The sufferer also typically imagines entire settings and stories in which the sufferer or a character on which the sufferer may self-project is of great consequence. Some very rare, extreme cases take to enactment of these settings and stories. It is of importance to note that the sufferer is also conscious that his or her conceptions and actions are outrageous or unrealistic.
