Class clown I always love to make people laugh plus it pissed off some of my teachers which was also fun! Haven’t changed much if I’m in a meeting there will be laughter or I’ve fallen asleep.
I don't know what a lot of the expressions being used here mean like jock and valedictorian so not sure what the U.K. equivalent is. I left school at 15 and then joined the R.A.F. at 16. I presume High School are those years before you may go to university say 16 - 18? Well during that period and having no education or any other qualification I learnt how to disobey rules but not get caught, march around whilst being shouted at by minor megalomaniacs, operate telecommunications equipment, fire obsolete rifles and dodge doing any thing foolish like some sporting activity. I also chased women and experimented with drink and drugs - all the normal things teenagers do until I was allowed at 18 into the adult branch of the R.A.F which was I suppose the equivalent to a university. A lot of people in the U.K believe that a good cure for our rebellious youth is to bring back compulsory military service. Maybe those so inclined may not be so keen on that if they note what really happens in the military. Persona? We were all encouraged to be identical so those had to remain hidden - you can imagine what mine was.
Drama nerd, debate nerd, student lit mag nerd. I discovered partying and getting laid the summer before my senior year, but found out I could get away with pretty much anything because parents and teachers still believed I was an A student follow-the-rules kinda guy.
Nerd/Misfit
My 8th grade English teacher recommended me for 9th grade Honors English. I declined, partly because symbolism was such a big deal in his class. In retrospect, bullshitting about symbolism may have been more bearable than the same grammar lessons in 3 of 4 years of regular English. I zoned out through half of high school and barely graduated.
I had read much more and knew more about autors than my English teachers (they were not amused) and knew as much abut European and Russian history as the history teacher. He had discussions with me in class. I drove a bright red and chrome model A rod with a V 12 engine and sometimes my mother's dark blue very large convertible. I was the school intellectual but I ran cross country, the quarter mile and the 4 X 4 relay, which everyone thought was an odd combination. After the 11th grade my parents found a college that would admit me and sent me there which pissed off my girlfriend and the three other guys on the relay team who thought we were going to set a state high school record.
Mathematics, English language and shop were my strong suits. I read at least a book a day. I left school when I was fifteen and was (still am) a hippie.
Nerd. Even then, more interested in astronomy, space-flight, physics and mathematics than in sports, boys (or girls for that matter), music or anything else.
Misunderstood misfit and a total hippie, hair down to the middle of my back. Too cool for team sports (which I now regret) but a demon at the informal backyard variety (football, basketball). Only had a few close friends and loved to hike and backpack the Rockies alone or with my dog whenever I had the chance.
Nerd too, I guess, since the nerds that got picked on a lot attached themselves to me because I'd turned out to be good at deflecting the bullies either through shame or humor. I never minded deflecting their attentions to me so that the routinely bullied kids could get a break, because I didn't care what the assholes said, and I made some very kind friends in the nerd crowd too as a result. I was, at a minimum, an honorary member.
Started getting laid my junior year and knew immediately that it would be a lifelong pursuit! Mediocre student until I got serious in college following 2 years of drifting and "finding myself" (i.e., growing up) after high school.
Total nerd..... music (band) was the only thing that kept me in school as long as I did. More interested in sports cars and girls, although I didn't date until I was out of school.
Goth gamer, I wasnt too happy in high school. Far happier when I got out the other side.
Whatever was posted is always meant in love and respect never to offend.
I'm also highly likely to have posted this from a phone so there may be typos or odd word changes, auto correct can be a pain.
I've been listening to my kinky pencil here's my current work
Hmmm so you probably missed a lot of classroom instruction. I can help. I have a teaching certificate.
Yeah, I remember how that went last time. The things I learned didn't help me much for my next job interview. Well, actually, since they were looking for a live in sex bunny, they kind of did.
