But really you're a teacher at heart. Thank you for all that you do around here.

Have to admit I'm impressed/surprised at how long it took for the blatant disregard of the request. I would have guessed that within the first hour the temporary redirect would have been violated.

Would seem that Aussie, SMN, and Trekka where the 3 Musketeers last night. I swear if you guys and Suzanne ever get in the same place at the same time.....

Oh yeah a topic......so with the deviants in the room, it got me thinking about how almost everyone I run across talks about being bad in high school. Yet I recall my high school being filled with a vast majority of straight laced, uptight kids. Sure some were bad, and some were really bad....but not in the proportions that I hear of as an adult. Which leads me to believe there is either a lot of embellishment going on or there were a lot of closet naughty kids in my high school, back in the day.

So, how bad were you really? This is a safe zone, no mocking if you weren't a badass, and instead were never late to class, never skipped, alway sat in the front you. There's a lot of you out there, it's time to admit it......

I was one of those weird hybrid kids in high school. Straight As, but I didn't study. And I was dating a hockey player so I was OK with the jocks. One of those kids who could cut class and my teachers would accept any excuse I gave them, because they didn't believe I was "like that". I was also a full year or two younger than my classmates because of a well-placed birthday and some grade skipping when I was younger. All in all, a weird time for me and not something I'd want to repeat.

 

[LWulf]

I wasnt very bad in high school... because you would have to had attended high school to be considered bad or not. My attendance in school got shorter and shorter with each passing year. Most teachers didnt understand that I was as exceptional as I supposedly was. In 7th grade, I was given an aptitude test by the school shrink. She assessed that I had a college level education in most subject and only an above average level in others.

So, in 12th grade, my math teacher, a young guy who liked to seat himself in the midst of the pretty girls in class, called on me in class to answer a question. Then to humiliate me, he directed me to to the board to work on the equation there. I really wasnt interested in playing along so I just stood there. As a result, he demoted me to the remedial class. There, without ever doing homework, I got a 100 on each and every test, prompting that teacher to pull me to the side and ask, "why are you in this class?" to wit I replied "because you didn't make it your plan to humiliate me, to make yourself look cool, in class" or some such.

Was I a bad kid? Not really, I was just more intolerant of taking redundant classes that bored me to tears, and unwilling to strut my stuff to prove that I was really all that and a kiddle of fish.

As beachbaby indirectly pointed out, I think "bad kids" in high school was relative to the social groups they were accepted into or not. Friends make excuses for their friends, while kids who werent part of the "in" cliques, were considered a bad influence.

I believe, this is why only "some" kids were considered bad, while most considered high school to be "not that bad."

I was a national honor society student, involved in lots of activities (student council, drama club, yearbook, band nerd, cheer, etc.) and I worked part-time jobs after school and on the weekends to save money for college. So yes, I was a good girl.

That's not to say I didn't get up to any shenanigans (dated bad boys, drank some, smoked some pot, snuck out a few times, totaled my mom's car, etc.). But I think if you'd ask anyone I grew up with - they'd say I was a good kid rather than a naughty one.

 

[PeteHulbert37]

I wasn't terrible, but I was no goody, goody kid either.

Let's see, snuck parents car out in the middle of the night and drove all over the countryside.

Did that with a younger friend and he wrecked it into a school bus, I took the fall so the kid didn't get killed by his father.

Um, tried an assortment of hallucigens.

That's about it. I never got arrested, but I did get the cops called on me a few times.

 

[SMNaughtywife]

I'm refraining from posting trashy school girl porn pics. (For now at least.)

I was a good kid, kinda like Suz_anne. My friends were misfits, but I knew better than to pull the crap they did. No way, no how would I even consider sneaking out.

 

[BongoGal]

I was a good student in the sense that I got consistently good grades. I never did anything...scratch that...I was never caught doing anything bad enough that my parents ever got wind of it. And while I was a terribly horny young thing, I was also decidedly virginal all through high school (until I was a college sophomore, actually). That said, there are a handful of men of my age out there who, if they remember me at all, remember me as a cock tease.

 

[Lord Pmann]

I was a total badass. Sometimes I'd use an Oxford comma, sometimes I'd say, "Fuck your redundant, useless, British comma having self" and I'd go without it. I was rogue like that, you know? Sometimes I wouldn't show my work in trig. I'd do that 3, 4, 5 triangle in my head, muthafuckas. Sometimes I'd even sniff my coloured markers a bit longer than I should. Or the liquid paper. I was a total paypah head.

As you all might guess, I was an angel. The kind that you take home to mother. I was a good student. I went to a excellent prep school. But I wasn't involved in clubs or anything, because I did shit outside of school. I wasn't really keen on spending more time on school grounds. I was mostly liked by teachers. Although I'd do stuff to piss them off at times. I used to bring a pillow to class, which seems kind of shitty now. And my parents had a lax school attendance policy, as long as my grades were good. My senior year, I didn't attend a single complete week of high school.

But I do think people embellish their badassery, for whatever reason. It may be perceived as more badass than they were at the time.

 

[catherinewheel77]

BG's portrait of HS is remarkably similar to mine - with some minor details which I've taken the liberty to tweak:

I was a mediocre student in the sense that I got consistently subpar grades. I never did anything...scratch that...I was never caught doing anything bad enough that my parents ever got wind of it. And while I was a terribly horny young thing, I was also decidedly virginal up until two days prior to graduation. That said, there are a handful of men of my age out there who, if they remember me at all, remember me as a notorious cock tease.

 

[NorthRockJohnson]

High school...I basically smoked pot and played guitar. I kind of sucked at academics but I did love English and Music. Got in trouble goofing off and skipped school a lot.

So yeah basically nothing has changed.

 

[Eva_Star]

I think "bad" depends on environment. I was VERY bad in high school but it was small town bad. Shocked the little old ladies in the town, gave the old men something to discuss over morning coffee at the town cafe, made my parents think I was the antichrist...but really..I wasn't SO bad.

I had sex with my bf (only 1 in high school) a lot, drank a lot, smoked a lot of pot, tripped a few too many times, skipped class consistently. My grades were ok but I hated sitting in class. It made me want to jump out of my skin.

I didn't hurt anyone, steal or commit any non-drug/alcohol related crimes. I was "bad" but mostly just to myself.

Oh man, good thing we didn't meet and high school. We'd have been a dangerous pair. Lol

I went to an all guy Catholic HS and where detention was called JUG (acronym for Justice Under God). I thought my last name was Jug...because the teachers would always say, "Brad - Jug." I sat in the back of the class sitting dude...but I was fairly smart...I knew enough to both fuck around in class AND know the answers.

I cut class as much as possible and had a little bit of an underage drinking problem....We knew the cops (Smitty and O'Roarke) and we didn't get into much trouble as the beat cops were just looking to increase the amount of beer they had in their basement fridges and not arrest anyone -- too much paperwork. On Friday nights, they'd stop their cop car at the local convenience store where one cop would open one door, tell you to get in, and the other cop would have the other door open. You'd slide across the back seat and had to leave your beer there. That was the drill. And the whole time you'd be talking shit to the cops.

We dated the girls who attended the Catholic school and hung out with girls who went to public school.

You gonna complete that sentence, Chained?

Let's see... high school... I got good grades. I also worked--I've had a job since I was 14, save for maternity leave.

I liked school! I wasn't a huge math fan, but I tore through my other classes. And I still remember specific lessons, books, and turns of phrase that different teachers would use. I had some favorite teachers that I still keep in touch with to this day.

I was an art nerd, as long as I carried my portfolio with me I could scoot around/on/off campus as I pleased. The deans pretty much left me alone because I was fairly well behaved.

Fairly.

I got in, what I think, was a *normal* amount of teenage trouble. My mom might say otherwise.

I got caught drinking screwdrivers before Latin class once (but I can still decline a noun and conjugate a verb to this day). Got suspended for 7 days. It was heaven. Both my parents worked, and my brothers were in school, so I had the entire house all to myself, which was basically nirvana. I smoked weed and raided my parents' record collection. It was the first time I'd ever heard Magical Mystery Tour, The Wall, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road...

I'd say that suspension was incredibly formative for me as a budding music appreciationist

What else? I snuck out, skipped class, got drunk on the beach, missed curfew, stole cigarettes, smoked pot... Got some speeding tickets... Made out with the boys in the bushes. Jumped out of a moving vehicle once or twice.

Standard issue high school shenanigans.

*shrugs*

Oh and I discovered the stories here.

New Thread: Finish this sentence...

I will.

...chaos would ensue!

or

...that would be the end of the world as we know it!

or I could just do a "ghost busters";

What he means is Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

 

[SMNaughtywife]

I will.

...chaos would ensue!

Chaos would certainly be one of the many adjectives describing our get together.

 

[aussiegeekygal]

Who are we kidding?
It'd probably be a mediocre, awkward night until the wine came out.

Nah. I think a littiquette get together would be the best. Pmann and Chainey-boy could even come. And lwulf, I'm most curious to meet you, especially in the presence of the rest.

Maternity leave... also at 14?
