1. Nerd, who knew all the answers

2. Rebel without a cause.

3. Bully.

4. Just went there to eat your lunch and draw pictures like me


What was your worst experiance at High School?

 

[PacificBlue]

Being told that I was no longer welcome as part of the "group" because I wasn't willing to experiment with drugs or have sex. I will never forget that conversation.

I hated high school.

I was a melting pot. I knew the answers, but was smart enough not to let others know.

Gave up on sports after a year and when it came time for a party, I was there having my share of fun.

While I didn't draw during highschool, it provided a nice amount of time to sketch story ideas and do some poetry.

The only year I went to high school in the U.S. was my best year of school ever. I came to live with my family here, and was in effect, an exchange student, because someone here went to live with my family in Guat.

I was a loaner at first, becasue I knew NO ONE, well maybe a few people that lived near me. But I met many friends through my classes, including several cheerleaders, woohooooo!!!!! It helped that one of them took piano lessons from my Mom I suppose, becaseu we got to be better friends that way.

I always wanted to be a graphic artist which I am now, but I hated drawing classes in high school. Played Futbol (soccer), and had a great tie going to parties with the jocks, who weren't so into themselves. The ones who were, never got to know me, by my choice. I hate stuck up people!

I can't remember my worst experience, but I can remember my best. I took choir class, adn during practice session for the winter concert back then CHRISTMAS concert, a few of us decided to stay warm, by going out to the car, and smoking a fat one, and drinking Everclear and Koolaid.

Soemone in class, literally the preachers son, caught us, and told the teacher we were drinking, didn't know we'd smoked also. The teacher was TOTALLY cool about it, told us not to get caught again.

That year, my senior year, I didn't eat lunch at school much, a few of us went around town fro 20 mins, and smoked, and didn't learn much, but still graduated, thank god.

Haven't smoked in ages though, and not sure I'd want to or need to. But I can understand how others could or woudl want to.

 

[sigh]

i was a hater of high school too...girls with babies don't make it into any of the cliques

so i became a "brain"...precious little else to do

so maybe i was a nerd? for all i know, i may be one still

I had a large, close-knit group of friends that I hung out with. We didn't fit neatly into any niche. We did drugs, but weren't with the stoner crowd. We got good grades (some of them - ahem), but weren't with the academic crowd. Some of us did sports, some drama.

It was a great experience. There was a solid core group of us who hung out in thick and thin and there were many who came and went in our group.

I am in touch with most of them to this day (20 years later).

I attended a vocational school the last two years, took computer programming. We were supposed to dress in "office attire". I always showed up in my heavy metal or Harley T-shirts and was usually drugged up to some extent. I got straight 'A''s.....the teachers never knew what to make of me.

(Wised up in college and quit doing drugs. )

 

[LadyDarkFire]

I was one of the Outsider crowd. I wasn't popular, although I was smart, I refused to participate in the afterschool "Nerd" activities. I hated the popular group, all that vapidness made my head hurt, and I didn't belong in with the Drama club because I knew that Shakespeare also belonged in literature. I refused to write for the class paper, or for the magazine. I felt that none of my pieces would be appriciated by the student body, so I chose to withhold the disappointment. I was considered a goth, but wasn't enough of a goth to hang with that crowd. I was a complete loner, but my attitude (and the fact that I was a TA 3 out of 4 years) won me a grudging respect. I might have been laughed at, but it was for such small shit, I didn't care, and the bigger stuff, they didn't touch. I was thought of well by most of the faculty, and I enjoyed the debates on Shakespeare that I had with my english teacher more than I enjoyed hearing the drama class twitter about the newest actor. I didn't like High School for different reasons, and I was bored out of my mind, but I do remember the few friends who I chose to keep contact with after graduation (all two of them), and how I enjoyed meeting them.

5. The guy who was on the football team and was kind of popular, I was in the running for the homecoming court and all that krap. In all honesty I was a jock!I was in the "popular" crowd which seemed to be the biggest deal at the time, yet now when I look back on it, BIG SHIT!!! I hear about kids wishing they were in the popular crowd and I tell them "it doesn't mean jack shit once you graduate!" It was a fun four years of my life, but once you graduate it is all but a great memory. I miss high school, just becuase it is a time of my life that is so different then any other time of life that I will ever live. I don't reflect on it that much, but when I look back on it I smile and remember all the good times I had. Can't wait for that class reunion

I hated high school i had one jock push me around until i broke his jaw he was mad that i invited to sit at the girls table all the time they saved a seat for me one guy and 19 girls had to clean myself a lot of times several girls would rub me through my pants. WOW

 

[Topher]

5. they were in the popular crowd and I tell them "it doesn't mean jack shit once you graduate!"

I agree.

I mean, that's why when we see someone in a college sorority or fraternity we shake our heads in pity. It's so sad to see someone try to extend those high school popular-crowd days into college. &-(

Oh "Rebel without a cause" for sure. I guess my worst experience was getting pulled from the graduation march because I was drunk. (I started partying early I guess).

 

[lilminx]

i wasn't in any of the aforementioned groups

I was always part of the in crowd, but I never quite fit in with them because I didn't conform to them. To outsiders fo that group, i was popular, but to the insiders of the group, I was on the outskirt of it. a very awkward place to be.

I was a cheerleader who also was in musicals, choir, Madrigals singers, and took actor's Workshop and Music Theory classes. I was also in the honors and advanced Placement classes, so I guess i was a bit of a nerd.

I had friends in many different social groups, but over all, other girls didn't like me very much.

My worst high school experience: my sophomore year, i told my mom I was sleeping over a friend's house (which I was). Her father drove us to a keg party, which happened to be across the street from my brother's ex-girlfriend's house. Well, she decided to call my mom and tell her that I was there. my mom came and dragged me out of there by my hair- in front of half the school! I was mortified, and didn't want to face the music on Monday. after a couple of days, the talk died down, but I was grounded for a month. i still cringe thinknig about it.

Yes, but look how you turned out It's not really about what you were with your peer group in high school or college for that matter. It's how you feel about yourself that matters. I happen to find your combination of talents very sexy

 

[lilminx]

In the long run, it really doesn't matter what you were in high school, and i'm glad that I didn't compromise my interests just for popularity. Thank you for the compliment, tn_8tiv.

 

[zantac666]

i taught to myself early in high school if they don't like me for myself then screw them. I had a lot of friends. I just hated school.

 

[MunchinMark]

I wasn't a nerd but I did have all the answers. I was good in all of my classes except maths I could even do well in field sports.

No I wasn't popular.

Well, I was popular in the last two years, because then we had all grown up and stopped being such a bunch of arseholes.

Hey LM...bet you went to a Liberal Arts college didn't you.

 

[lilminx]

Hey LM...bet you went to a Liberal Arts college didn't you.

SUNY Albany- why do you ask?

 

[tn_8tiv]

SUNY Albany- why do you ask?

Your outlook on life. Reflects on a Liberal Arts background. By the way, that's a compliment

high school was my life jacket

School was the one place where I knew I could succeed. I was popular, but not in a clique. I din't like them and I didn't have time anyway. I worked, played sports and had a full load. I earned my varsity letter, class secretary, honor society and I had a car.

I was also mixed up emotionally. In my freshman year, I had an 18 year old boyfriend that my father hated. I caught all kind of hell for that relationship. I was smart but not studious, and I had major emotional distress. In short, I was always worried about being accepted despite my successes. I was the lonely popular kid.

High school was my escape. When I felt good about me it was usually connected with school.

Peace,

daughter

gawd.......lol

HS. I was new to public school in HS. I went from 4 kids in my 8th grade class to 275 in my 9th. These kids had been going to school together for their whole life. I'd been going to a private school. I knew way too much to ever be popular. I joined all the clubs, and started hanging out with a group of kids, we were into everything. Anything that would look good on our college transcripts. Most of us were honor students, I was the rebel of the group. I was also editor of the newspaper, on model congress, yearbook, still hold the record for discus, president of the art club, drama club, secretary of the senior class...you know all that shit.
It was one of the only times I had a group of girls as friends. They're the only ones I talk to on a regular basis, even now. We were known as the "Agents" that's a whole other story.

the worst thing that happened to me......

I was sexually active, and my best friend told me she couldn't be friends with me cause I was a slut and had no morals. When she lost her virginity, she apologized. It still sucked. I didn't hang out with anyone for like 3 months. That's forever in HS.

Oh another thing, this wasn't really bad..just a shock, an eye opener a change in my way of thinking. I caught my boyfriend with my friend<another guy>in bed together.....that turned out to be quite interesting after I stopped being pissed.

that's me, my senior year, my third prom.

 

[Calamity Jane]

I worked 2 full time jobs, went to my AP classes when it suited me, got mostly A's and B's, and when I had time to hang out, I hung out with the punks and Thespians. Mostly, I spent as much time as possible on a horse. I was in one play, did mostly set design, and just tried to make it through. I had only had one good female friend through high school, and we're still best friends.

I guess I was one of those 'invisible' people that just kind of fits on the fringe of every group.

Worst moment? When one of my good friends died of lukemia.

Best moments? Hanging out between classes with my History/Sociology/Psychology teacher and smoking in his car. He was and is one of the smartest, most interesting people that I know.
