I pretty much categorize myself in the rebel/loner type.
I went to a co-ed catholic highschool, where I basically hung out with everyone from the different 'cliques'..
so I was like a stoner-rebel-jock-goth-punk-artsy type

I hung out with drama people most of the time. I was more a NWA though. Nerd With Attitude. I was pretty universally known but not popular as it were.
I started as a stoner, went rebel, and turned into a druggy.

I was a lad. In the heirarchy of school life there was four types of people: Richies/Swats (basically those who buckled down, worked hard and got good grades), the insane loners (people with no friends), the Bad lot (bullies, idiots and morons), and the Lads (a bunch of us who liked to mess about, have a laugh, but still do some of our homework).

Only really got into drama because our drama teacher was suprisingly enlightened. I liked the ability to actually write/pick plays.
Jock/prep that got good grades and was a Drama and band guy too...
My sister was outgoing/popular and an upperclassmen so I had an advantage but I kept a very low profile and was cool with everyone. I played a sport every season on top of marching band and holding the #2 rank in my class. So, you could say I was preppie-jock-nerd.

Good Kid I spose. I went to a pretty rich-neighborhood school even though I wasn't as well off financially as the rest. I had friends in about every group- band/drama/choir/debate/jocks/stoners-rebels etc. I got good grades, but skipped school occasionaly to hang out with different friends, got invited to most parties, worked a part-time job, went to most events, etc.

Freshman = geek
Softmore - Senior = stoner (but didn't smoke pot)
And for some reason the stoners and band geeks got along real well, so most of the stoners hung out in the band hall after school.
I was the guy in the group who never spoke to anyone.
We all had crazy hair and everyone hated us till our Metal band played in assembly. . .
Then they loved us since.

Stoner and loners are in the lead wow. In school I was on the volleyball team and I loved art I even won some awards with my drawings. I really wish I had kept up with it, it is very relaxing.
I played softball as well, but not in school my father kept us all involved in sports year round. In the winter it was figure skating for my sister and I and hockey for my brother. Summers were little leagues, one year to my adolescent horror the sponsoring store for my team was Christies Milk Jugs. I was always so embarrassed about our uniforms having to walk around with milk jugs on them!

Somewhere between good kid and artsy. Everyone in town knew my mom because shes on all kinds of councils so I didn't rebel much and did my work. But I also did the art classes in and out of school.

Hmm. I was searching for something through all of school. Somewhere to fit in. I went from surfer to skater to stoner to artistic dissident. All those things are what make me up today.
I hated school with a serious passion from first grade on... until after graduating high school. Since then I love taking classes.

I was a jock/stoner/alcoholic through most of highschool
Up to junior year I was on honor roll, sociable and a good kid.
Then I did drugs.
The end.
I was in athletics and in band... and was also in 4H/FFA. Growing up in a small Texas town one can do almost everything in HS. That pretty much guaranteed that my parents couldnt wait til I got my drivers liscense so they could quit taxi'ing me to all of my activities.
The best part was my girlfriend was a cheerleader... FROM OUR RIVAL TOWN!!!!oneoneone. Nothing like invading enemy territory and stealing their valuable resources.

Band was my main activity, marching and concert. I was on the drumline and was the drum captain my senior year, and we were fucking good, thank you. I played tenors. I was also on the Ski Team (not the school's, a local team with kids from all 3 high schools) for two years.
A few of my friends were also in band, but our "group" also included a few skater-type d00ds, some brainy guys and the ocassional slut hanger-on. We all were - and still are - great, great friends (except for the slut hangers-on).
I got good grades, but I liked being a closet bad girl. By that I mean maintaining a 3.5 average, being a smartass just as much as I could get away with, ditching class as much as I could get away with, and getting out of doing work as often as possible.

I only skipped a half of period my entire time in school and when I got back to the school the principal AND vice principal were outside. I told them I had had car trouble (was on lunch during a split period and just decided not to go back) and they let us just go to the office and get tardy slips. I was all for just getting by on work though. I never studied but I was a B student all the way through. I never had anyone encourage me. It was punishment for bad grades (if I got any) but no reward or positive reinforcement for good grades. So I just concentrated on not getting bad grades. Going to 14 different schools didn't help.
Vesi victim of too many cold pricklies and not enough warm fuzzies.
P. S. Guess that could have gone in the parenting thread too.

Loner. Band kid, nerd, and good kid were close, but as I'm still talking to 1 kid from high school, I'm leaning towards loner.

My school's kind of weird. There's a big art/theater/musical theater dept so there's a ton of artsy kids as well as stoners. Pretty much everyone goes there (atleast in part) to get away from the jocks/preps/whatever at their home school, so there aren't really any of them and there's no dearth of stoner/rebels. Cliques are pretty much defined by who you eat lunch with. Tons of emo/indie/scenester/punk kids.
I hang out with a bunch of soccer playing musicians, artsy and indie kids. I don't really do any of that though.

I would typify myself as a "normal" class. I had a geeky side, played video games, got decent grades, etc. But then I also was a smartass and hung out with some of the popular kids as well.
I went with artsy because most of my life was spent in the highschool darkroom. I ditched class....to print photographs.

Rebel best describes it... I spent my highschool years fighting the system.
I skipped alot and was slick enough to do bad stuff and not get caught. I had a good kid image with the teachers but I was really bad. I would of been a jock but I couldn't commit myself to an activity where I depend on others to succeed. So I did the art thing and just kicked it for my high school career. Now I'm maturing and starting to take stuff more seriously but I'm still a slacker... You know that should be an option...Slacker.

The less extravagant but still expensive "play soccer", "play piano", and "learn ballet" phases probably made me better but were still just phases and me once again, me rebelling. Then there was that year I wanted to be a politician.
Not to mention the art phase, acting phase and photography phase.

I was an IB student. I didn't go for the diploma though because the two english teachers for IB were evil so I did AP English instead because the teacher was much kinder and didn't tear up your research papers in front of the other students and accuse you of being genetically stupid.
I played softball. My position was scorekeeper! I loved doing all the stats and keeping track of numbers but I have a fear of round objects hurtling towards me at fast distances so I sucked on the field. I got a letter jacket for varsity scorekeeping though!
I did orchestra for a year, but I didn't like the instructor. Of course, the year I quit was the year they replaced him with a better instructor, but by then I had decided that I wanted to be a Latin geek instead of a music geek.
I did chess club for a year also, but I was the only girl and the boys were afraid to play me so I quit going. Its not really fun sitting and watching other people play chess. Especially when they whisper about you like you can't hear them, even though you are sitting at the next table. Of course it was kind of cool that they all assumed I was good at chess since I didn't get to play enough games for them to realise that I'm only average at it.
I didn't have many friends, but the few people that I occasionally see after school were somewhat goth, somewhat just strange, or in general really nice people that are friends with anyone regardless of what catagory they fit into. I knew a few people like that. In fact they are the only people from high school that I still talk to.
For seniors, you are allowed to put in a profile of all of the activities that you did in high school but each activity has to be signed by a sponsering teacher. I spent about an hour after school and during lunch tracking teachers down to sign my form and turned it in on time. When I got my yearbook, not only had they left out my profile, but they also misspelled my name. I guess no one really would have cared if they knew that I got an honorable mention for reading comprehension at the state Junior Classical League competition.
That pretty much sums up my high school experience.

Id put my closest friends and myself as more of surfer type.
Lacrosse, Soccer(won states once), Cross Country(team won states twice and got second once).
I had the same friends throughout all of school, 1st-12th. We were all pretty much the same, decent students, athletic, semi/long hair. We made many weekend trips to the beach to surf and in the winter it was to the mountains to snowboard(going on 9 years of snowboarding at this point). Skateboarding year round(I tend to stick to longboards more now). Smoked pot but never really fell into the complete stoner category.
My high school also had very few boundries. No matter what your personality type everyone pretty much was friends with everyone. Grade, race, clique, etc all never really mattered. Not bad for a public school of ~2400.

Artsy (loved drama class)
Loner (I had my moods)
Fat kid with no friends (though I was never fat, just lacked self confidence)
Rich Kid
Goth didn't exist then, nor did punk or emo or gangstas, and I don't know what OG is.
I was the white chick who loved R&B and Funk, and hung out with the black kids in the courtyard til one of them told me to stick with my own kind. Pretty traumatic, since she threatened to beat the crap out of me because my boyfriend was black.

I don't know, I really didn't like high school. College was much better for me since I got to concentrate on music all the time.

Let me see if I can remember back that far:
Punk, but of course I probably qualify as Kid who didn't speak english, also. We learned english in school, but definately not what was spoken when I came to the US.
I could probably have been considered a nerd by some also, since I took my exams and graduated when I was 16, then came here on a student visa to attend college. Luckily punk was really taking off then so it wasn't as horrible as it could have been.

I had about 4 lockers, ( my friend's that I pretty much use ) including one from the gym which some girl referring to me, engraved slut with something sharp. I played volleyball, that's pretty much it. Voted most likely to be a dictator. Was part of a scandal that got 14 people suspended, including myself.
I went through pain, scrutiny, fun, time of my life. All together, I think it's a normal highschool life.

I Always did Marching band (rifles), Concert band and jazz band And was in choir and vocal jazz ensemble.
Performed in the musicals and plays.
I was a cheerleader for baskerball and played lacrosse (until I moved to a school that did not have it) then I played volleyball ( our school had a team).
I was in National Honor Society and AP classes as well as French Club, Yearbook editor and on the prom Court.
So I was just a kind of person that did a bit of everything.
I had friends from all different circles.
I did the Valley Girl thing in the mid 80's ( pumps with bobby socks and gel bracelets with BIG lace bows in my hair)
and punk soon after (cut my long hair very very short and had a tail dyed and braided) Safety pin earrings leather jacket and gloves. Was just an odd time.
Then I chilled out into the prep roll I guess.

I actually played 3 woodwinds...clarinet (main) flute and saxophone (tenor) and aspired to be a pit musician...
...after 3+ years of playing all three and having lessons in each, performances in each on top of my quarterly curriculum...I got burned out and quit...haven't touched a clarinet since. :(

We had to play clarinet to move to sax. They only took the top 10 chairs for sax. I got 1st chair got bored and switched to tuba. Going from woodwind to low brass was awesome I'll never go back though I still can play reed instruments.
Clarinet, tuba, trombone, baritone, and since I was the drum major I played some percussion as well during drum lines and things like that. Mostly it was bass, trips and quints I never was fond of snare.

I dabbled in the trumpet and trombone and also played bells (I think that's what they were called...the metal version of a xylophone) and marimba in drum corp and on the drum squad.
My favorite instrument of all is trumpet...I could never really get into playing it because the pressure was too much for me trying to hit those high notes.

I chose other b/c I was in between a jock and your normal party enjoying teenager.. I played golf, lacrosse and floor hockey (huge intramural sport at my school)... All my friends played Junior hockey and I took up hockey on the side with them helping me out, but I never really was a huge jock, but I was also not the kid who didn't play any sports but still had a good group of friends.

If you're not going to be on the drumline, then you should at least play brass.
If you're a "clarinet" player by my definition, that's different than being someone of varied musical talents who chooses to play the clarinet. So you guys are OK.
And in resposn to Latrinsorm, people (in high school, at least ) don't "play the glockenspiel" the way people "play the trumpet," or "play bari sax." The glockenspiel is part of the percussion pit in concert band, and you're either stuck there because a) you sucked really bad at your first-choice instrument or b) you got a shitty draw when drawing straws in perc and have to play "glockenspiel" (though most people who are not retarded just refer to that section of things as "mallets").
Usually this is just for a single song, at which point some other unlucky sap takes over and you can go play something more awesome, like timpani.

I wish I had more time to play. But I love teaching music and I play in an orchestra.
I wasn't in this concert as they didn't need me but we just did a pops concert with Davey Jones from the Monkees. He lives in our area and it was fun.
I love pit orchestras and the jazz combo I used to play with.
Band rocks.

I was the goth girl who was very quiet; I had a close circle of friends. I didn't care much for the pointless rules (like attendance -- do I really need attendance points to pass class? no!). Was expelled for drugs in my freshman year and finished highschool in college grades 10-12 with a 3.80 GPA. I enjoyed college obscenely -- no stupid attendance rules.

Don't want to know what kind of weird band you did back in High School!

edit: :( @ Arkans. I'll amend the scoreboard. 1049875987 - 1.
