Highschool. Which do you classify as?

[Shalla]

Time to reminisce and think back.. How was highschool to you? Or in case of others.. How is highschool treating you?

Having attended 2 highschools, I have experienced the different kinds of people attending out educational institutions. State which ones of the poll your school chums would classify you more as.

Also, to be fun... Think of the board as highschool all over again. Who would classify as the;

1.) Jocks and cheerleaders a.k.a The Cool ones.

2.) Teacher's pet. a.k.a The annoying and über I know more than you do in everything so STFU ones.

3.) The Snobs a.k.a The I am so better than you and bitches and assholes.

4.) The Alternatives a.k.a the peculiar ones.. different.. unique ones.

5.) The Party Crashers a.k.a friends with everybody..


You may also add new titles..

[Bobmuhthol]

Damn. I guess I'd be number four. I wanted one of the titles to be like.. 'person who hates everyone and school and shows it.'

[Shalla]

That would be the Rebels. And yes.. that's #4

[Hulkein]

Mix between 5 and 1. I wasn't a jock just because I was small until like junior year, but I hung out with pretty much all the jocks. I was the funny guy.

[Artha]

I don't really fit into any particular group. I dress semi-gothy (black clothes, trench coat), but I'm not a whining pussy (heh, no offense anyone). I'm friends with alot of people, but close friends with only about 10. Not rich, not poor, don't go to any parties. I'm really geeky, relatively, but it doesn't really show unless I'm in tech class.

[Miss X]

I was kind of a bit of everything. I was apparently intelligent so I was always in band 1 classes, which was ok cos I hated all the annoying disruptive kids. I was at school to learn not set fire to the bike sheds.

I was also into cool clothes and make up etc, I guess my girl friends could be called bitchy at times, I think I was the token weird girl. I was all into sports too, we had a great track and field team at our school, I was one of the cross country runners so I had friends from that too.

There were a few kids and teachers that didn't like me because I have really left wing views and I've never been known to hold back in a debate. I guess a lot of people thought I was a bit extreme, but I never gave a fuck really, I knew they would end up working in McDonalds.....

<<I think I was the token weird girl.>>

You're mistaken. The token is the normal one.

<3 Miss X

I knew I liked you

[CrystalTears]

I didn't like high school so I blended into the crowd and didn't get involved in much. I was part of the drama and chorus classes, so that's as visual as I was. I wasn't a goth until I started college and my life changed from there.

[LilHellcat]

I actually didn't fit into any category in high school. Dressing wise I wore what the hell I was comfortable in, if it was prim and proper or leather the next (within dressing guidelines) I wore it. I had piercings before most others did. I was in drama class, but I also was in band. I had friends from all the little "cliques" I was the one everyone else depended on really. I knew more secrets about the kids that went that I could have wrote a book.

I also tried to do things that wasn't really "female' oriented I tried out for the football team and made it .

I was in and out of high school due to personal problems but when I was I enjoyed it. I did really well in my classes etc. I did manage to be a prankster though and pulled it off being completely innocent. So really I don't know where I would fit in, with any of those groups.

Which one is the "Folks"

[Shalla]

What folks? Like old people?

no..

[Zentoph]

I hang out with everyone.. except for gangster rappers. Uh.. I make people laugh a lot, I don't have a category up there. :(

[Latrinsorm]

Because I wore a trenchcoat, I was dubbed the goth kid, even though I wasn't. Stupid preppies. Otherwise I was a smart/band kid. I think I convinced a few people (and a lot of freshmen) that I was some kind of psycho, so I got more or less left alone by non-friends. Stupid freshmen.

[Snapp]

I didn't fall into a group either. I was friends with the preppy kids, the goths, the nerds, everyone, but no one really knew much about me. I guess I was the invisible one (who dressed well of course).

[Drew2]

I was friends with everyone who wasn't stupid.


I had no patience for stupid people and I informed them of their shortcomings often. Needless to say, I had a few enemies.


edit: And by everyone I mean everyone. Jocks, goths, blacks, whites, asian, cheerleaders, whatever. I didn't care how you dressed or whatever, as long as you were cool and could put a few intelligent thoughts together.

[Edited on 2-7-2004 by Tayre]

[HarmNone]

Hmm. I guess I was sort of a mixture, like most people. I was in accelerated classes, but I did not think that was particularly cool. I wanted to be in the classes my friends were in. I loved shopping and buying unusual outfits to wear. I hung out with just about everybody. High school was great fun, but I would not want to do it again. ;)

[Trinitis]

I'm one of those few that hated highschool. The education system sucks ass, and I hate hate HATE the fucking teachers here. Ugh.

-Adredrin

[HarmNone]

I was fortunate, Adredrin. I was not schooled in the United States. I agree with you about our education system, however.

HarmNone

No, i fucking hated high school.

<--1.4 GPA baby

[Souzy]

I was/am a social butterfly. I never hung around with just one type of "group/clique". I never liked that clique thing, so I don't know where I'd fit in.

So here's what I did in High School...played softball, basketball, stomp team (was the only Asian girl :P), mediator, multi-cultural commitee, community service (which I basically worked with the younger kids), student council, Asian health, then my girls and I did every talent show thing for our high school, we did dance routines and what not, oh and I'd do the Martin Luther King Jr. show every year. I think that's it for now. Yeah, I was an avid supporter for my high school. Then, I use to fight a lot in HS too. But since I was an honor student and was involved in so many things, I got away with it all, bwahaha!

[Solkern]

I was the one that was friends with pretty much everyone, didn't care what you looked like or how you dressed, it was more of how you treated me, never really partied, but was invited to most, had my little clique of course of my close friends, but I guess I was more of the prep type.

[Kia]

Hmm..

Well, I fit into group number one because I was a cheerleader in highschool and college... but I also sang in a punk band and played guitar, so... I dunno...

One time I went to a 108 show right after a football game and I hadn't had time to change. The overly pierced girl at the door wouldn't let me in because I was wearing my uniform and she was too punk for me or something. Dumb girl. Owner of the club new me and came over to straighten it out though, so I ended up seeing a good hardcore show. Yay.

I've always done what I like.

KIA.

You're mistaken. The token is the normal one.

Actually, Bob, she is correct. The "token", used in this context, refers to the one that is different from the others.

HarmNone, the token old person ;)

[Bobmuhthol]

No, no, I know what token means. I mean the token girl is the one that's actually normal. I guess I have a weird sense of humor.

In conclusion: All girls are weird.

[HarmNone]

Heh. I ge'cha! :D

I was one of the "goth" group, I guess. For some reason short skirts and combat boots make people look at you funny. :(

[Meos]

I was a jock who smoked weed and got good grades....

[Edaarin]

I was a little of everything. I guess I'm a nerd at heart (played chess, was on the It's Academic team my junior year, French Club, NHS Committee Chair, played 1st violin in orchestra).

I also spent my obligatory stint hanging out with Asian people (Asian Awareness, Asian movie club, non-english speaker's anonymous, yes I'm jokin about that last one), but that didn't last long. Couldn't stand not understanding a fucking word anyone was saying.

I played a few sports as well (rode the bench in football, did swimming for about a month before I quit, did wrestling for about 2 weeks before I quit...yeah, I suck at commitment).

One thing I didn't do that I wish I did was party. I can count the number of times I went to parties on the weekends in high school on one hand.

[Shalla]

Pretend the boards is highschool. Who do you classify as such with their way of posting, attitude, knowledge, sociability and personality?

[Shalla]

Here are the Categories. I believe they some how apply. :?:

1.) Jocks and cheerleaders a.k.a The Cool ones.

2.) Teacher's pet. a.k.a The annoying and über I know more than you do in everything so STFU ones.

3.) The Snobs a.k.a The I am so better than you and bitches and assholes.

4.) The Alternatives a.k.a the peculiar ones.. different.. unique ones.

5.) The Party Crashers a.k.a friends with everybody..

[Bobmuhthol]

Number five. Hands down.

[Shalla]

I mean't. List the jocks.. the teacher's pet.. the alternatives.. and the snobs in the boards. :smilegrin:

[Bobmuhthol]

Only I count though.

[Souzy]

I was gonna vote #1 for you Bob. :lol:

[GSLeloo]

I'm the teachers pet crossed between the invisible ones. In classes where I don't feel comfortable with my fellow classmates, I won't talk. I just sort of stay quiet, do all my work as well as I can (on time or earlier than asked for) and am respectful to the teacher.

[Myshel]

I was one of the Island kids, we stuck together. Surfers, beach addicts, we partied together on the island. The townies didn't care for us much. I played in Orchestra, did drama club and all the plays. We also had a community theater which I was involved in on the Island. I was a lifeguard on the beach and every summer I lifeguarded at Girl Scout summer camps all over the country. School bored me so I didn't come into my own until college intellectually.

[DianaBanana]

I hated highschool. College was a whole different story though...I miss Seton Hall.

[Chadj]

I'm a mix of the Party Crashers and the jocks. I'm on 3 school sports teams and all, but i wouldn't consider myself a jock.

There are certain ways to bend over in a skirt and still stay "decent". All women know this, though whether or not they choose to exercise it is up to them.

[Edited on 2-8-2004 by GS3 Michiko]

[Hulkein]

Exactly, easiest way to see what type of girl it is :D

[Nakiro]

I hated highschool. Most of the people I hung out with while in highschool were from another district.

Hell I skipped my entire senior year and went to University of Cincinnati paid for by the state instead.

If you are in high school now, I pitty you, deeply.

[SpunGirl]

I loved high school. My school was a little different than I think people see as "typical." I was in band (but on the drumline, which most people can tell you is not exactly the same thing). But of the people I regularly hung out with, only two others out of our group of 15 or so were in band as well.

Looking back at high school, my biggest regret is that I didn't do as well as I could have. I spent 95% of my time trying to put one over on teachers and get out of the things I was supposed to be doing rather than just DOING them, and I still graduated with a 3.5! So yeah, I got away with a lot of stuff, but when I got to college I wasn't prepared to actually have to work.

While it's fun to reminisce, however, I'd say the day you graduate is the day you should stop defining yourself by "what" you were in high school. Very Breakfast Club.

I suppose on the social level I was invisible, it's kinda hard to be physically invisible if you were me.

But I really didn't like high school at all, I was only there because I was forced to be. I didn't excell because I didn't do the work. But I did well enough based off memory and attention to class to keep up good grade. I didn't do any clubs or school based activities. I went to work everyday after school starting when i turned 14. I knew everyone and knew about all the social events i just chose not to attend. I didn't really consider anyone from my High School to be a true friend mainly just aquaintances, which is why as soon as I graduated I stopped talking to most, if not all members of my high school.

[longshot]

I was completely invisible in high school. My girlfriend and my best friend at the time both went to different schools. I'm thankful for the advantage that the rough private school curriculum gave me, but at the same time, it was four years of hell. I had the maximum number of allowable absences at graduation time.

In my freshman year of college, I was stuck with a bunch of dorks on my floor. My roommate went to bible study five nights a week and would go to bed when I was just going out. I had a nerd meathead that lived across the hall from me, and his roommate was your typical asshole Korean kid. I joined a frat and turned into "the elitist" I guess... I had a lot more fun than whatever the hell those kids did though.

[LordSagan]

I went to a Catholic Military high school, so some of these classifications dont work. I dont really fit into any of these, because my high school was so different than most people's. I probably fit into the Alternative catagory the best, out of the ones listed here. I didn't want to be in this particular high school, so I did poorly academically. I was part of the drill team, however, because you needed to be part of some sort of extraciricular activity to advance within the military aspect of school, and drill team was what interested me the most. If I had to do it again, I would probably have done the rifle team as well. I listened to alot of punk rock, though, and was involved in the DC Hardcore scene outside of school, so that is why I likely fit into the Alternative catagory. About the end of my sophmore year I started selling pot in school, so I was pretty much known as the person to go to if you wanted to get pot throughout most of my high school days. I ended up dropping out in my senior year before they finally had enough on me to expel me. Figured it was better to walk away on my own terms than to get kicked out by them ;)

[AnticorRifling]

I was one of the weird ones. I played 3 sports, was in 4 bands, was the drum major, the show choir, did the spanish and debate clubs, etc. I guess I was in the extracurricular group. I was friends with everyone because somewhere along the line we did stuff together.

[Ilvane]

I was someone who got along with everyone in school, though I was in honors classes, Chorus and drama. I didn't suck up to teachers or anything, but they liked me.;) I wasn't a trouble maker, or really anything other than a typical teenager.

I'm glad I went to college though, because it was so much better and more interesting.
