The Outsiders by SE Hinton, which I read in 7th grade. I really related to the kids in the book in a lot of ways because of the way I was treated at school and such. I remember finding comfort that I wasn't the only kid who dealt with the discrimination because I was "different". To Kill A Mockingbird affected me in the same way...I read that in 8th grade.
