I went to a science high school and was the valedictorian. I was mostly interested in graduating so I could get the hell out of high school, and except for my friends ignored what everyone else was doing and saying and lived in my own little world, and fortunately everyone else ignored me. In addition, I was in ROTC (that way I didn't have to shower with all the guys) and was respected as one of the three top marksmen in high school, which is weird to think about now. I also didn't date or anything, partly because I was too busy and had no money, partly because I was painfully shy. Man, college and then grad school were ever so much nicer.
Big time wallflower. I didn't really fit into any of the categories listed. I had a couple of crushes in high school but never a boyfriend until college.
It's impossible to make love ALL night ... unless you start as dusk.
Jock: Football, Track & Field.
Quiet and unassuming, I was a little overweight
Jock - Football and basketball
No option for "Fat kid who got beat up a lot?"
I was in the top set at high school but I liked a laugh too. I was also an aspiring guitarist, artist and general good guy
As a high schooler, I aspired to be class clown. In my senior yearbook the top three were chosen for class clowns. I finished fourth!
Small town on the coast of Maine and dad was the assistant principal. I was depressed and wanted to leave. Played 4yrs of soccer. Did drama and band, mostly band though. Played trombone in concert band and jazz band. Also did chorus, youth orchestra and some of my friends and I formed a brass quintet. Was completely out of touch with girls and dating and had no clue that any of them liked me. Dated one girl for 2mo my senior year and she was my first kiss. Lost my virginity about a year and a half after graduation while living on the west coast. And it only happened then because she came on to me. My hair is brown and I spent the summer between freshman and sophomore year bleaching it out. Came back in the fall with sort of tri-colored poorly bleached hair. This is small town Maine in 1983. Through the remaining years there I got even nuttier with this stuff. I found out years later that I was the beacon that pointed others to express themselves in similar ways.
Well for me high school means 11-16 (UK here). Initially an academic, particularly in Maths, until about 13/14 when I met girls and got mixed up with a bad crowd and it went rather down hill from there. Also I piled on the weight around 12/13 and my favourite girl at that time nicknamed me Pillsbury Doughboy.... just why I have said that here I have no idea.
I was the quiet, studious girl. I kept to myself and since I was always exploring the streams and woodland crannies looking for rocks for my collection I was soon labeled eccentric. I’m now a gemologist/diamondologist going for my Masters degree in geology. See, still boring
Pom squad cause my dance/cheer moves were pretty lame.
I was quiet, until I found the drama department and then I fell in love with the stage, and everything Broadway!
I was first and foremost a girl who knew what she wanted and how to get there. Academics came first (in college took a double major in math and physics before going to Law School). I had the same boyfriend in high school and we learned a lot together - he took my virginity age 17 in the summer between my junior and senior years in high school. Wonderful times. Wouldn't change a thing even if I could. Have always been the oddball in my peer group from brains to clothing.
Its hard to say because I was a bit of everything but definately an oddball and even though I had a lot of friends still a misfit
I was pretty goth, but I hung out with every crowd except the rednecks
Some days I would kick it with the stoner kids other days the jocks and cheerleaders
if I liked someone I liked them, I didn't really see the point in just hanging out with one type of person
Some days I was aloof and moody and prefered to just read or write and I would go find a nice cozy corner to cuddle up in
other days I was pretty much a social butterfly and quite loud.
I guess not much has changed
I was the least memorable person back then. I was just the quiet kid doing everything she could to get through. I didn't much rebel back then; I was (mostly) an easy going teenager. Easy for my parents koz I wasn't doing crazy shit. Now, however, I have all this pent-up rebellion; so now I'm doing stupid shit because I just don't care. I'm sleeping with men I shouldn't really be, I have shaved lines into my eyebrows, I also at one point shaved them off completely, I got an undercut recently and shaved lines into my head. I've done the cliche multicolored hair thing, I get piercings etc. Yes, I am a teacher also; fucking hire me.
I grew up in a very small town so I never experienced any of the classic high school bullshit. I was the lead actor, the best student and the best athlete.
I was the weirdo that was good at everything. I was a nerd, that was physically talented.
I was the chick that helped out around school, ate in the teachers lounge and didn't carry a backpack because I would xerox all my homework.
I was always mistaken for a T.A. since my freshmen year.
I didn't fit in w/ the suppose misfits as they always snuck alcohol into school and I personally couldn't careless about that.
The ones that called themselves straightedge weren't straightedge at all.
The rest of the cliques were bland and loud.
I had a great high school experice as the teachers were as dramatic as my peers and for me that was comedy.
Oh, and the other few punks fell into crust punks and I didn't care for those.
Class clown type, a persona I stumbled upon by blurting out what was on my mind one day in 7th grade and everybody laughed including the teacher. I used it as a ruse to hide behind with my extremely introverted and shy personalty. Nobody ever knew the real me but that was ok, it was better than being a perpetual wallflower which I was anyway when it came to social events.
I was outspoken which often got me into trouble with the teachers. I acted hard on the outside but I was(and still am) a softie on the inside.
Jock - Track and cross-country
I grew up in a very small rural community, so I was mostly a farm boy. In school, I was a jock, homecoming king, senior prom king...but don't be impressed, there was not a lot to chose from. My graduating class had less than 100 students. Plus, I had a mother who would not tolerate ego. She always told me I was nothing special, but to remember, no one was more special than me. I have passed that wisdom along to my children.
Chameleon. People saw me as what they thought I was.

They called me weird, but that's fine cause all of those people that bully me had their own karma.
Played sports, but Stoner, had long hair and greatful dead T-shirts in case there was any confusion.
