Just thought it would be interesting to find out who everyone "was" in their high school years. I've never met or seen anyone on here, so why don't you tell eveyone if you were a "cool jock," a "geek," an "outsider," a "cool-artsy person," a quiet-smart person, ect. Were you part of the coolest clique or did you eat alone every day? Come on, surely this has to be better than the "favorite color" thread...
I'm not considered one of the "popular" people, but I do have a lot of friends. I think I'm considered the not-too-quiet smart type.
HA HA HA HA!!! Oh, yeah, I was the king of high school! HA HA HA!!! <font size="1">I was a musician but I didn't drink or smoke weed, so I didn't get along with anyone!</font>
I had popular friends and not so popular friends!I was an outsider to those who were not friends with me and the stupid dumbass to my friends.I was always acting like a fool making people laugh,doing dares, you probably know the type!?! In class I was a sleeper,alot of teachers wouldnt even know my name,seriously!I sleep woke up for the assingnment did it then went back to sleep.There was no such thing as homework for me
I got along with everyone, I was not overly popular, but had friends who were very popular and friends who were dorks. Funny thing is that most of the guys and gals that were thought to be dorks are doing WAY better in life then the popular crowd. College was another story, I was very popular there.....I mean come on, I was a bartender at one of the best bars at SWT, and also in a popular Fraternity...Sigma Chi. HS was ok, but College was the best time of my life. DaDakota
I went to an upper class private school where if you weren't athletically or academically gifted then you weren't anything. Basically all the jocks on the footy team got everything handed to them on a plate. I just stayed in the background with my group of friends and 'went with the flow', so to speak.
I was sort of in-between about three crowds. Not really sure if I was ever "in" any of them. I grew up with most of the "popular" kids, but didn't really like a lot of them. My best couple of friends were from that group. Then there was the "likable" crowd... you know, not extremely popular, but people who everyone liked... I hung out with them a lot, but oddly... never felt very close to anyone there. Finally, I hung out with the artsy people a bit. Had a couple of really good friends, but thought most of them were too pretentious. I grew up in a small town, and it seemed like these people in general reacted against traditional culture, rather than creating their own.
9th - quiet, smart, hoopster 10th - moving up - puberty - hoopster 11th - full time balla - working at Sonic - drinking brew, talking to chicks. 12th - still smart but didnt "apply myself" - aka procrastinator, not enough hoops, lots of partying...
well at first i was in the out crowd i guess had friends on the baseball team which i managed as an assistant-helper for 4 yrs, then my sophomore yr a lot of the guys on the team took me under their wing and i got actively involved in a church by my home, then my junior yr i got the nickname vtrain and got a lot more respect and self pride being an upperclassmen, then my senior yr.... well our spirit dance-the day after our 1st home game vs langham creek, i was dancing like crazy-bunch of rap music and i incorporated a lot of the atlanta falcons dirty bird dance into my routine and the dance stuck..soon enough people wanted to see it all the time. i got nominated for and won homecoming king, and i made a bunch of new friends among old ones. I had a great date for my senior prom and i need to get in touch with her in fact, and at thanksgiving I got my acceptance letter from UT which was always my 1st choice and now going to school in Austin cheering HOOK EM' HORNS!!
I was kind of popular. but having been kind of popular, I can also attest to what a sham it all is. even the people who are really, really popular never feel exactly popular. no matter what "circle" you're in, there is always a more exclusive, more elite circle that you just can't quite crack. [see: c.s. lewis' That Hideous Strength for a tremendous look into that notion] I was popular enough to win "Most Witty" and be nominated for "Most Talented" at a large high school, but I was not someone who was nominated for "Prom King" or those types of awards. I was always the clown until my senior year. then, I started becoming more of the loner musician/actor/artist. I've been miserably unpopular ever since.
Nope, was not popular at all...well maybe with all the heads... Funny, I was more popular in high schools after I left when the band I was in got it's start gigging there. RR
I definitely was not one of the popular people but I wasn't unpopular. I was generally the quiet smart type but I always got along with and joked with the people in my classes. I had my six or seven really good friends who I knew outside of the classroom and did everything with and so I guess that puts me in the middle. Man I wish I could be a second semester senior the rest of my life. Damn that was sweet.
I am currently a freshman in Highschool (Katy Taylor). I wouldn't consider myself Mr. Popular, but I have alot of friends at school. I probaly seem like the most unfunny guy on this board, but I think the majority of my friends enjoy being around me because I make them laugh. The one "problem" I have is I actually have a conscience. I can't go with all my jock friends to beat the **** out of some loser, and I cant stand getting in fights with people for almost no reason ( I dont know if its because I am a taller more popular guy or what but people like to pick fights with me alot for no reason). I just want to be left alone by others and hang out with my friends. To answer the question, I beleive I am in the upper-middle class of popularity.
I was so popular that everyone in my school knew who I was. there was a town 12 miles away and half the kids there knew me. . . . okay I am from a small small town. . . 80 kids in the highschool small. So everyone had to know me. I also went to the school 12 miles away for a year and they only had 200 kids in the highschool. . . I know its sad this may be weird for some here but we never really had any groups that would hang out together, there was no COOL group. I have never understood the hip crowd thing. Now in college its about the same for me, the only people who think they are cooler than everyone else are the dorks
I was well known, everyone knew my name, but noone called me after school. I guess you could say I just had a ton of acquaintances.
Thats the funniest reply yet. I was zoned for Lee but went to a private school in Bellaire. Hung with alot of people from my school and also from Lee. While I did have alot of friends from my school, I mostly hung with kids from all over the west side. It was cool because I could always find a party in one group or the other. Actually, my rents went out of town every other weekend, so there wwas always a party at my house. I was always on the varsity teams, even as a freshmen, so that helped for meeting people. I was a pothead back then, so I fit in well with many of the other spoiled rich kids. Finding girls was no problem. Casual dating prepared me for the rigors of the University of Florida. A good way to sum up my HS experience was my senior year. I was elected Student Council President. When they broke down the voting by class, the closer you got to my grade, the less % votes I got. I was a party animal. I still can't believe we would drink beer at lunch. That was cool till I got kicked off student council after XMAS. Remembering all this stuff reminds me how cool HS was. No bills, no job, show up to half my classes, and party away my weekends. I had no curfue my JR year on. Damn why can't we stay young forever.
I went to coed military boarding school in San Marcos, so everyone knew each other and lived together (separate dorms for guys and gals, of course). I was an officer and company commander, so I had a lot of power. I was popular enough to have a lot of friends and make it to most of the off-campus parties and hell-raising, but my best buds weren't in the "in" crowd. I think my best friends resented the fact that I had so much rank, but they got over it. The real kicker was finding out that all the hot girls liked me about 5 years after the fact.
