I want to know what you all were like in school. Do you think besides maturity is obviously different that you have changed much? Were you popular? Loner? Nerd? Jock?





I was actively into many sports and I guess you could say I was in a popular crowd. I was nominated for Homecoming and Prom Queen. I had a serious boyfriend all 4 years, but still did a lot with my friends too. I was a clown and as you can see that never changed. I am always sarcastic and like to have fun. I was always told by my teachers to stop talking. I would crack jokes outloud to one teacher that I really hated and the class would giggle. I still had my head on straight and got good grades though. I just don't like being so serious all the time.


NEXT!
 
Great thread SS!

I was kind of like the Ally Sheedy character, but also an *art kid*. I got along with pretty much every clique but I was most definitely a loner. I was a Homecoming Princess, an alternate for the dance team (I just wasn't good enough~lol), kinda proactive when it came to defending my friends....ended up in the hallway for those episodes (that was punsihment for minor infractions at my school).
 
I was the baseball team captain. Fairly popular, and just nice to everyone. treated everyone good. Didn't have any grudges or act hard. Had lots of friends, but never had a steady girlfriend more than 3 months. I'm still friends with lots of them, keep in touch and hang out with lots of them. I was also kind of the class clown. Always being goofy, pulling pranks and teasing. Im still like that, just without the childishness. Definitely way more mature but still the same person I was in high school
 
I was a wild child that dated around alot, got along with all the crowds, had long hair, listened to heavy metal and hard rock, smoked dope, dropped acid, drank and wrecked cars, got a fake ID at 15 and was in the bars alot and wrecked a few cars.......

Went on to college and now im a white collar worker.

i was a nerdy jock if that makes sense, i played football and ran track well so i was an athlete but i had good grades which put me in the nerd category

I would only say that if you were all about studies and didn't have a social life.

I cared about school, but I was still social and was a bad girl going to older kid parties on weekends.

i never got drunk until after i graduated and didnt get the vagine until then either, i was a dork lol

Dork! jk! Hey my hubby didn't drink any alcohol until he was 22. That was weird to me since I started young. I was in a small town though so most people that are from small towns know that you get involved in crap younger. It is called being bored!
 
silverstar1025 said:
Why do you say you were feared?


Because I refused to go along with group menatlity over others.

For example one time a Boyfriend of a Girl was in class, she went out to the bathroom, and when she came back the door was locked, and no one could see she was locked out or hear her knocking due to the Science lab we were all doing.
The Boyfriend was near the door, and DID here her knock and saw her through the door glass panel, I did too but neither of them knew I was watching.
He let her sit out there for 2 Minutes and ENJOYED doing it to her.
He finally opened the door when she almost started crying .
I watched him....... he took pleasure in it......


When Class was over and break started he was alone just walking around. I went up to him, and said hey, " I saw what you did, and I saw the way you did it......NOW I KNOW your an asshole.........and I am watching you now..........do you understand?"

He could barely move and said "yes I do"....
 
The psychotic, hard drinking yet popular rugby playing "jock" :supercool

Playing rugby and drinking every weekend without a fucking care in the world (almost completely fucking up the last 2 years of school grades-wise), oh man those were the days :supercool

Don't feel bad, I didn't score 'til I was 19, second year of University.

In high school I was invisible. Not a jock, not a nerd, not social, neither popular nor ostracised. I was in the band but I wasn't a "band nerd".

I always knew you were a hero! :heart: Good for you. I can see you have not changed. You are good hearted! You seem like the one to always stick up for people. I guess you were known in school as the guy that won't take shit from nobody.
 
I was bullied alot when I was in 6-9 grade......but...... THEN I grew

I got a long with everyone but was not part of any cliche as I moved to a new high school in Texas the end of my Junior year. I was a member of the Academic Decathalon and started my college courses at the end of my Senior year. I guess I would fall more into the geek category.

Agreed. I look like an abuser on here, but that is just me being silly. Anyone knows here and IRL that I am always joking. If I am not cool with you then I am not joking like that. I don't like to hurt peoples feelings.

Well I suppose you wouldn't want to run the risk of bullying someone in a Yank high school seeing as there's a good chance the nerd will come in to school one day packing a 12 gauge and a couple of 38s :FRlol:

Oh yeah and I was MVP 3 yrs in high school for soccer. I miss those days of having kick ass legs and no fat on a McDonalds diet. We would have our parents bring us fast food before a game after school so we could eat real quick. lol
 
I went to an all boys catholic school (2 different ones in 3 years) because my parents forced me to. I was a public school kid before that. I fuckin hated it to death. No girls and separated from all my friends.

Both schools i went to were huge sports/jock schools..some of the best in the state. Lots of assholes. I got along with alot of people, but i was probably mostly in the druggy/party crowd. My friends from those schools were ok but nothing special. Looking back, the quality of people in those schools sucked. I really broke out of my shell and started being a badass junior year (my last year at the all boys school). I had started my own ebay business and was making some dough, so i had an opportunity to reinvent myself and got alot tougher. I got in a few fights but always stood up for myself

I ended flunking out of there (on purpose) and was sent to public school for my senior year. One of the best years of my life. It was comprised of alot of the people i grew up with in public school along with a few other surrounding towns. Alot of people remembered me, but i was very very different.

i was a pretty much the badass of the school. This was the peak of my ebay business so i had a shitload of disposal money. I came to school dressed in really expensive designer clothing,gator skin shoes, covered in platinum and white gold diamond jewelry, a diamond rolex etc...and colored sunglasses. i always wore color tinted sunglasses, i had about 4 different pairs in diff colors. They looked normal because they looked like glasses, so i wasnt one of those wannabes who wore REAL sunglasses. I also had tattoos when no one else did. Meanwhile most kids were dressed in abercrombie and everything they had came from mommy and daddy. I was pretty much a rockstar

I was so used to changing schools that i learned how to meet new people easily. I didnt really have a clique...but i made a few very close friends who knew what was up.Jocks, band people, stoners, popular girls, soccer girls (hot)... pretty much everyone kissed my ass and respected me, but i never let it get to my head. The kids i used to know from way back that were kind of dorky, i hung out with them too. They loved me, because i would stick up for them when people gave them shit. no one fucked wiht htem after that

All the girls loved me. including the hottest girls in school. i was a party animal and literally made the parties i showed up to. Had a fake ID when alto of people didnt,so i would bring champagne and expensive alcohol everywhere i went.

my popularity got so big, the vice president of the school made a parody rap song about me because i used to rap at parties. They busted it out on my bday/NYE party in front of everyone. it was a huge hit. he put it up on napster and almost everyone in school downloaded it. they would sing it in the halls and such...and sometimes play it at parties and make me dance to it while i sprayed champagne on people LMAO

fuckin awesome time. it pretty much carried over to college (when i was actually in school)

only thing i regret is i never took full advantage of my power. i had some smoking chicks i hooked up with and CONSTANTLY had my ego fed, but if i had just a little more balls i could have set records in that school and been a complete manwhore

Had plenty of friends but was not . . .

i was making 50k a year at 17-18 lmao.

i just went to school to socialize and meet girls. people used to ask me "why do you even come to school?". especially in college

i told em why :)
 
I was fairly popular, played sports until I had a somewhat physical confrontation with the jv basketball coach during practice in front of everyone. He cut me to save face and then moved "up" and cut me from Varsity BB, football, & baseball. I fucked up his car often.

I was student class VP, partied with most. Never took much seriously, including grades. Worked last two years of school. Voted class clown. Dated quite a bit but was a nice guy. I didn't get why the chicks liked the assholes, and put one in the hospital at a party. After that I was treated differently by everyone, not bad but with caution I guess.

Served in the first Gulf War and became a bit calloused by my time serving.

Are you serious?? DAMN!! Man you need to be a business owner for sure. You have it in you. I don't know anyone that age doing what you were doing. Seriously.

i've been a business owner.....twice.

they both succeed and then failed. oh well

1st time was because i got really really stupid with money + had some ebay violations due to copywrite infringement. i was a consignment seller which accounted for about 50% of my sales. the rest was stuff i bought and resold on my own. turns out some of the stuff i was selling were knockoffs/fakes and i didnt know. my rep/account was destroyed and i didnt have enough money to rebuild because i spent it all

2nd time was because of market conditions..and not saving up for a rainy day :)
 
straight A stoner who was all-state defensive end, state record ( for a short time) in discus, and amateur boxer ( independent of school). Was really an outsider but I think I was respected and somewhat liked. I was very results oriented in everything but as soon as work was done, i got baked.

Pretty much the same as now. :)

3rd times a charm? Many people fail a few times before they reach success. Look at Bill Gates. :)

yeah :)

i take that back. i succeeded and then i failed. like anything with me, problem is always sustaining it/consistency.

story of my life
 
I was alright.... hated by the "popular jocks", but had plently of good friends, ran cross and track, danced on the dance team, graduated #7 in my class I think.

I looked much better when I lost the glasses and braces... I wish I had some digital pics.
 
I was a cheerleader and in every club imaginable. I was also in the gifted and talented class and did drama and debate, etc. I could have been in one of the popular cliques, but I hung out with the nerds. I liked them better.
 
I was the quiet one,
went to 6 different High Schools.....at some point I just stopped making friends.
The usual chainsaw massacre rumors...

All I'm saying is this, RW and me, same page, philosophically and same highschool background... my story without the boxing same as his, except I was thrown out of consecutive games for spiking the ball as a receiver, this may come not as a shock to some... I have a tendency to get over eager.

You were a stoner in high school?
 
calveless wonder said:
to think that deeply you gotta be smoking some herb

Very true. I could never do any drugs in school though. I would be too paranoid. My girlfriend told me that in high school once she tripped on acid. How in the hell could you do that?!?? There is no way I could do that.

yeah my brother got me started... he has severe anxiety... but yeah... I wasn't baked all the time just on weekends, but I was a 4.0 kid and now I smoke like twice a month after a 3 year hiatus... but your personality comes as no surprise... athletic, sarcastic, goal oriented... I think you dated the same dude who we were talking about... what a db... oh well.

oh, IN school?

freshman year of high school i tripped on acid in school...twice. lmao. was pretty fun actually. no bad experiences. acid never really gave me bad trips except one time where i walked into my house late at night( i had to go home early, but it was sitll pretty late) and for some reason my entire extended family was there. that fuckin sucked
mushrooms have given me more than a few bad trips. never touch psychedelics again

i had a friend who dropped XTC more than a few times in high school (he was a junior when i was a senior). was pretty fuckin hilarious seeing him. what a mess he was

i used to get baked sometimes at school in the mornings, but not alot.
 
I was popular, Class Pres., played sports, chased the ladies. Only thing different now is I have caught a lady and don't chase now!
 
Let me see. I was the 'normal' kid in HS until the Tiananmen Square incident. I was the only kid who didn't wear a black arm band and saw the hypocrisy of it all. After that moment, I started to smoke, my hair was a different color each month, I got into a lot of fights, started piercing, started drinking / toking and I brought black overcoats to my school. I think it was because I wanted to experience something different then the ‘mayonnaise type’ life people usually have.

This continued until G12 when I dropped the ominously serious attitude and just laid back. It simply wasn’t fun anymore. At this point, I found the first great love of my life and we dated for a year. We broke up and my friends tell me that I was a mess back then (all SWV). I barely squeaked by in classes; although I did well when I felt like it. I never understood the value of understanding Geography or History with regards to ‘real life’.

I'm not proud of any of it, I'm proud of all of it because I wouldn't be where I am today without it.

I don't think I would ever have bad trip it's just that anything I have ever been on always makes me laugh my ass off. I would look like a retard in class and I wouldn't be able to control it.

My friend was telling me that she was taking notes in class on it and she stopped and she was watching her hand and it was still writing even though she wasn't moving. She said she just kept laughing to herself and her friend behind her had to kick her seat and tell her to snap out of it. I have some funny party stories, but nothing IN school.
 
Good thread.

I was the worst student in the world. I just didn't care. Was a total jackass, I can't believe the crap I used to pull. If I met me I would have kicked my own a$$.

Through the years I think i've done a 180 but who knows.
 
In HS school, I was a 3 yr wrestler that placed in state every year even though, I ended up being moved to others schools. I was kicked off the wrestling team my senior year after being kicked out for some shit. You remember the guy that was always in the deans office? That would be me. You could kind of say, I got into trouble constantly. If you can think of it I most likely did it. Another thing, if you follow my post history, I was a stoner.
:rasta:

Hehe no, I was a prep... Would only wear polo shit. I pressed my shirts and my pleats (lol at pleates these days) had to match and be strait. Horrible student but was voted class clown and nices calves (go figure). I got along with all the clicks, was not into drinking or drugs since back then I thought I was going to the Olympics for ski racing (I got close) and wanted to ride the Tour De France.
 
HS was just a stepping stone in my life. I don't dwell on what I was back then, nor do I really remember. I have memories of good times, but the best part was the day I knew I didn't have to go back ever again. I worked my ass off then, just like I do now. My best friends from then are my best friends now. Other than that, meh.
 
i was always silly but played a few sports. got a kick out of making others laugh even at my own expense sometimes. had a fat girl that would leave me notes with janet jackson lyrics on them. they would be either in my locker or under my windsheild wiper on my POS car. i was somewhat popular mainly for the way i acted and some for sports mainly wrestling.
 
I was everything. U name it, I was in that clique for a while.

talk about an identity crisis.

I had tons of friends though

I got into alot of trouble. Alot of trouble. I skipped class often. I hated life at the time.

angsty teen i guess
 
This is a pretty good thread. I was a pretty small guy. I was strong for my size but, still not good enough for the sports I tried. I was decent with my grades. Got along with just about anyone but, didn't go out of my way to meet anyone either. It was actualy after HS that I was forced out of my shell in the military. Now, I run a company and cover the entire US, I have more toys that I ever thought I would end up with but, the best part, I don't weight 140lbs anymore. lol I am up to 210 lbs at 5'8". I have only seen two people since HS that I went with. Neither recognised me. Oh yea, I also had glasses and braces. lol
 
Well, this may come to surprise yall, but I drank alot, smoked left handed hay alot and was friends with everyone, all 168 kids in my class. I tried sports but they got in the way of my "after-class" activities. I prolly had the worst job that someone like me could have, I worked in a pharmacy. That's not a good thing for a kid who has a good working knowledge of chemicals. Needless to say, I was generally on something if I wasn't at work or school.

I was in the band, played trumpet. Since the music was pretty boring, I used to spice it up to make it sound better. That's not generally what the band director wanted for some reason so I was in trouble alot for that. Funny thing, when the 1st chair player couldn't "get" the part, he used to hollar "TX, get up there and show her how this is played!" So, I was pretty good, you really just couldn't put ME up there with the people who lived for band. LOL

I dated the cheerleading captain for 3 years, for some reason she liked me back. Who knows why, she was F I N E fine. I guess she would say I was nice to her, and maybe made her laugh, idk.

I rarely studied, made just soso grades. When I took the ACT to go to college, I scored really high, higher than the smart kids who were taking the SAT's and took the ACT for practice. My teachers were like wtf? I told them that I guessed well. :-)

One might say, "A good time was had by all" would sum it up.....
 
Cool thread.

I hung with the drug crowd in HS. My best friends brother was the local GHB cook when it was super popular. My other good friend was the XTC man but that was a little after HS. I always made good grades even though I never really applied myself. I would leave everyday after 2nd period my junior year and we would go get high and drink beer. The cops came to my house twice and the second time was to arrest my parents for my truancy. Luckily they were not home. That day my parents unenrolled me and I was officially a high school drop out. I had my GED before the class ahead of me walked that year, so I guess in all reality I graduated a year early lol. I am still close with a few of my HS buddies although none of them drug anymore. It is funny to me that the same guy who drove his truck into a culvert huffing a duster leaving a Walmart parking lot is now a successful business owner and father. Times do change.
 
I've been conversing with classmates from 1982. It's depressing to hear how many people are dead already.

I was actively into many sports and I guess you could say I was in a popular crowd. I was nominated for Homecoming and Prom Queen. I had a serious boyfriend all 4 years, but still did a lot with my friends too. I was a clown and as you can see that never changed. I am always sarcastic and like to have fun. I was always told by my teachers to stop talking. I would crack jokes outloud to one teacher that I really hated and the class would giggle. I still had my head on straight and got good grades though. I just don't like being so serious all the time.


NEXT!
I was really shy and felt really awkward around people I didnt know. I had no confidence in myself whatsoever. I was immature and sarcastic and a little bit obnoxious but my friends thought i was funny. I was a bit of a nerd and hung out with nerdy types - some smart nerds in honors classes (like myself) and some not so smart nerds. Academically I was an underachiever to the Nth degree. I was intellectually lazy (shocker!) and only did well in subjects that came natural with little effort (Math, science, and Spanish). I did not read any assigned homework or any books at all in High School. As a result my grades in Social Studies and English were terrible (C's and D's) but I got A's in everything else. I was in the Band for the first 3 yrs of HS and we had a lot of fun going to Marching Band competitions. I also played Softball for the first 2 yrs of HS. That's about it.
 
Everyone thought I was really stuck up in high school, but the truth was, I was just REALLY REALLY shy....... I was well liked by everybody, but I wouldnt consider myself popular.......Not like teen movie popular. The only recreational substance I had was ETOH, and the same is true today. 3 season a year athlete -- Football (cpt.), Basketball (cpt.), and Track (shot and discus, no runnin for this fool!). NHS, NYLF-med., and all that other academic crap.

Oh yeah, and I had my own car and drove to school when I was 14..... :evil:
 
I went to a huge high school, I was generally disliked. I had quite a different attitude and perspective on school as most of the other honors kids I was around. I actually wanted to learn. I was also a year round athlete, but I did not excel in any particular sport. I was too mature for high school. I couldn't wait to get the fxck out of there. My best memories are definitely all the cross country and swimming meets
 
And practices. I love when school would end and practice would begin. My pleasures came from working hard. I achieved excellent grades and a few college credits.
 
i was the stoner kid...ate acid smoked weed and skipped school....school was fun i wish i stayed a bit longer..lol..never went to college i wish i did...another 4-8 years of partying and girls... :(
 
jr high I was a long haired metal dude. 9th grade i was voted best dressed. Through high school I was a stoner who got along with everyone. Jocks, preps, stoneys, hippies whatever. I never had a shortage of friends.
 
I lettered in Cross Country, Soccer, baseball, and Basketball. I hung with the nerds because I was in all the AP classes. I was out back in the hoodlum alley before school cuz I smoked with the stoners and smokers. I was a jack of all trades but master of none. Liked by just about everyone but not on the upper echelon of popular.
 
I went to one small school 4th-12th for 9th-12th in NYC that specialized in educating kids in the arts, entertainment or sports. I was in sports and had friends in all grades, I was popular but I think that was because I got along with everyone, dancers, actors, singers and the few athletes. After about two years I became the class clown so I made it my business to torture many of my teachers but at the same time I had a few teachers that really got me and did everything they could to keep me out of trouble. My senior year I had my very own art showing at the hand of my art teacher who saved me from myself after a car wreck kept me off the ice. He was such wonderful man, I get choked up just thinking about how good he was to me.

While I had a lot friends at school my parents were so strict I wasn't allowed friends outside of school hours (or skating hours) and I had always been ashamed of that but no one ever called me on it (except for a boy and that's another story) or made me feel bad for my life outside of school hours.

It was a good time, we were all really good kids - there was the year of Valium and birth control which was in the 4 years I was there the biggest controversies. We were never out to get each other and tear each other down, most of use were either training longs hours or already working in the biz so we were there to support each other because there wasn't anyone else pick us up when we had a bad day.

I only have good memories, even the bad stuff I always go back and recall the smiles and the laughter.

Good times.

Now it makes sense where your artistic capacity and just over all presence develops from... I mean such refinement had to really be nourished somewhere... that makes sense you developing in such a special place... I take it everything went well today..
 
I was a main jock (football, basketball, baseball) who got valedictorian. Never drank or anything, but went to parties a lot to hang out. Fought way too much. Very outspoken (pissed a LOT of people off) but always wanted to joke around. Always pranking a friend or teacher.

I really didn't fit into one category.
 
President of the computer club and defensive co-captain of the football team. My mother worked with a dude at the health department that claimed to know me, still can't remember who it was from back in the day.....but he claimed I was super cool. :rolleyes:

I didn't even graduate in the top 25% of my high school class...I didn't believe in "homework" or "rules." I think I was in the top 33%...but I scored a 167 on my LSAT.
 
Look like someone I would smoke out with... peaceful, affable stoner, athletic build but really didn't dig on sports... affable, but had just a tad of social anxiety... would never know it but horrified of girls, his first girlfriend sensed this as she was his lab partner and felt an instant connection to him, and she just knew, but she made a man out of him years later they both laugh at his social anxiety... proud father of 3, great man of his community, though he still occasionally smokes, kids don't know this though...

I want to know what you all were like in school. Do you think besides maturity is obviously different that you have changed much? Were you popular? Loner? Nerd? Jock?

NEXT!

I was a loner, nerd, jock if that makes sense. I had a group of maybe five friends I hung out with but spent most of my time at home. I got decent grades though I never applied myself, my teachers were shocked when the big test scores started rolling in so I often got "You're not living up to your potential". I got put in the gifted and talented program in early gradeschool so by the time highschool came around I refused to be in the honors programs as I couldn't stand the uppity attitude of the people in there. I played football for two and a half seasons (Quit my freshman year and didn't play as a sophomore. Not to sound too arrogant but a lot of teachers disliked me because I was smarter than them and usually understood the material better than they did. I loved to ask loaded questions to make them look foolish. One teacher got over this by basically having me teach the class. Everyone knew who I was and lots of people tried to get to know me but I shut them out. People would come up to me on monday and congratulate me from friday nights game, I'd act like they were talking about someone else and say as little as possible. I did like to wear a viking helmet and chase people around the hallway. I also used to rescue freshmen that were getting pushed around in the hallway. All in all highschool was an absolutely painful and miserable experience for me. Of the 330 people in my graduating class I keep in close contact with one person.

Cheers,
Scotsman

Oh, that's a "raw" score, I didn't take a test prep course or the practice exam. I'm a lazy ne'r-do-well.
