Out of control kids

This is my first year and have heard about end of the year problems like all of the previously mentioned. My 7th graders (160-inner-city) are an unusually rough group to handle...I feel like I finally had control as of January, but now, after break, they can't seem to function in any way. Example: I'm teaching a lesson and "Joe" shouts out, "CAN I GO TO THE BATHROOM?" Or, the infamous line "How many days do we have left of school?" I really enjoy the students, but their energy level is to the extreme of managability, and my patience and stamina are truly being tested. Now, as a parent, I can reflect and understand what my children's teacher's were saying about teaching 7th grade and all of the complexities surrounding this age group!
