None of the above.
I recommend staying in school, and getting a solid education.
Don't play at your age. I regret starting in middle school.
In retropsect, try to avoid games in middle school and when your younger in general. You've got plenty of time to waste in college!
WoW is simple enough that my 6 year old has managed to level up a character in her spare time between Barbie and skateboarding, and it certainly doesn't demand the kind of time that EQ did...
But I'd rather recommend taking up a nice contact sport, such as football, lacrosse, or ballroom dancing, rather than playing any MMORPG. Trust me, all y'all pubescent folks need to work off the attitude and/or hormones you've got going on. Your body will thank you, and so will all the people who have to deal with your obnoxious little selves. (J/K... Mostly.)
I don't know about the rest of you folks, but I had far more time on my hands in middle school than I did in college... Then again, I was in middle school in the early 80's, so it wasn't like I had the option of playing MMORPGs. Why, in my day, all we had to play with were rocks and sticks!
And that was still more fun than L2.
(Take not offense at the postings of The Neschria, for she is silly and full of beans!)

Whatever your choice, know that none of them are a decent venue for learning the English language.
L2 isn't so bad...when your 50+(which will take 3-5 months or longer). probably GW it doesn't require alot of time(you can be 20 in a matter of weeks by putting in 10 hours or less a week) and there is no real storyline to try to uncover.
Lmfao if u get addicted easily dont play. Ive been playing mmorpgs since grade 6 and now im allready starting to experience carpal tunnel >< (in grade 10 now)
LoL me too.
If you start playing WoW in middle school you'll probably look like this in college...

Should have played shooters or MTG exclusively so their child could be an international professional game star or popular streamer.

When my kids started, WoW had a “community”, so to speak. Guilds were strong, and we had a “kids guild” which was babysat by a member who rotated out time for it. As it is, no, WoW retail is not the place ?. Maybe WoW classic. Maybe FFXIV. Maybe Throne and Liberty (which is brand new to me, but not toxic I’ve seen yet).
I tend to agree with “stick to school”, with the exception that the child wants to play an MMO. If that the case, probably see what it is they are wanting to play and then decide.
