At Harvard-Westlake (HW), students in the middle school are quite opinionated, constantly voicing their thoughts throughout the school day. Unpopular opinions have become a commonly talked-about topic in the past year, as students often post them online or view posts about them. Many students are not afraid to speak up on all sorts of topics around their teachers, classmates and parents. We sent HW community members an anonymous survey asking about their unpopular opinions. Oftentimes, unpopular opinions can cause controversy or disagreement between friends and classmates. We received an overwhelming amount of surprising thoughts from a survey that was sent to HW middle schoolers. The following are all opinions submitted by anonymous middle school students:

1. Pineapple on pizza is good.

2. Peanut butter is disgusting.

3. Tattoos are ugly.
