What Were You Like In School?

[Dreek Lass]

Often times we are a lot different in adulthood to how we were, and to how we saw ourselves when we were in school. I see myself very differently now that I am older and doing my own thing. I have learned that I am very attractive, which wasn't something that was relayed to me back when I was in high school. However, I get a lot of invitations now.

I was pretty popular in high school though, and would flit between different cliques when I got bored lol. Nobody else really did that now that I think about it. People stayed within those typical stereotypical cliques. I had a passion for the popular girls, the goths, the rocker clique, the Asian girl clique, the smart kids, the gay clique. The unpopular kids. The list is endless.

How were you in school?

For me I was quiet and shy. I didn't widen out until middle school which I did get into the cliques eventually. I hung around with the girls that was into the football players, very conceited and arrogant and picky. I didn't get in much trouble, but I did sneak out to parties and things like that. Now that I am older I view myself as a rebellious child because I did sneaky things and hardly got caught or them. I played the good girl role, but really was sneaky. I have changed so much now because I realize how bad the things I did was and I have kids of my own now and also realize that I could've hurt my parents if they found out half the things I did.

Well, I was someone who succeded to pass alot of my time in the computer and alot of time with my friends. I was friend with the "nerdy guys", but also with the "bad guys" at the same time, which brought me alot of protection aswell as fun. I could just choise what I want to do and who I want to be with. I still have contact with alot of that people.

I was a pretty shy kid until high school. High school was a fun time for me. Never fell in with one clique though...never liked clique's. I talked to everyone really but had a few close friends. Senior year was my favorite year.

When I was 12 and below I was a real little sh*t. But once I got a bit older I turned it around and managed to get some really good grades

I was always small growing up. I was rather bookish and got picked on a lot by the bigger kids. I finally hit a growth spurt around 17 and was no longer picked on so much. I was rather reserved and not very popular. I never really dated in high school until my senior year.

I used to hang out with the popular kids and the smart kids. I guess you could say I was in the middle. I never really was considered a popular kid. I pretty much came out of my shell in college. I was the person that everyone wanted to party with. I still would stay in my books but I think the partying took over.

 

[darkcgi]

Quite like a ninja
Super Confident really physically agile and fit
but almost non existant except to a few and myself
bottled up
Girls seemed to like me.
I would say I spent lots of time learning stuff like how things worked and creating things
and art. I liked to abide by the rules to a fault.

I was shy all the way thru school, didn't have many friends. Kind of kept to my self. I did participate in athletics, football, track and field.

Tall,handsome,smart,popular ...often in trouble.

Some very interesting responses from you guys. It really is a shame that we separate ourselves into these groups/cliques in life. And it doesn't just stop when we finish high school either does it? It caries on into our work life and in things of that nature. Often it is just the way that we think of ourselves, as opposed to what others think of you. If you behave confidently, then people will believe you. If you are shy and behave that way, then people will also believe that and give a shy person something to be more shy about.

Hmm i was always shy still am ... so at school i was shy i was not talking a lot, i was more in my own world i was not pick on either others didnt bother me ..

During my Elementary and Middle school I was among the quiet student in our class. I don't participate in the class recitations that is why if my parents will visit the school that is always the complaint of my teachers. Although I always got good grades theoretically but when it comes to school activities my grades are always on the boarder line. But when I go to High School and College I had changed already and is not shy anymore and I gained many good friends in school who are active and who study well and I am glad I had belong to that group who inspired me in my studies until I graduated from College

 

[WiccanWitch]

I was terrible. :/ In all honesty, I was one of the bad kids who was always skipping to get drunk or what have you. I even got expelled in the middle of grade 8. I was the kid wearing the tight shirts with the extremely baggy pants who wasn't afraid to voice my opinion, regardless. The type who wasn't afraid to start a fist fight and could kick butt despite my tiny 4'10" frame. I had many many friends, but not in my school. I went to a really small school, 100 kids or so. I was friends with the people who didn't have many friends either. Though I didn't have problems with most of the "popular" students. I just was.

I was considered a "goth" kid because I wore a lot of black or other dark colors and had long hair. Truth is, I had body image issues and the color black is a slimming color, so I wore it the most. I started growing my hair out in 5th grade because I was a professional wrestling fan and saw that most of them had long hair in the mid 90s, so I started growing my hair because of that.

I never really shunned off the whole "goth" label because it didn't bother me, and once people got to talking to me, they realized I was sort of a nerd. Looking back, it's weird trying to get into the mind set of other kids. I could never think the way I thought back then... I guess that's a good thing, though.

I am about the same as I was in school. I was quiet and shy, but I became a fun person to be around when I began to open up. I am still like that today. I have lots of friends now, but it takes a while for me to open up to people. I am still quiet and shy, but I am trying to change this about myself.

I just had to laugh there..so many memories Well, actually I still have my school reports and it said something like this: Christina has good abilities but has concentration problems and tends to daydream a lot I was also very lively as a child and never liked doing what I was told. I didn't care a lot about school, I just went to have fun and make people laugh. Every day was boring so I had to do something to change that I was also artistic, creative and musical. I always entered these singing contests because if there was a chance, whether it was singing, acting or dancing, I was there and ready to show everyone what I can do

Bullied quite a lot, after I was 15 I got a job rather than go to school and sat my exams when I was in college.

How were you in school?

Quite interesting. You had a diversified experience. I was quite a mischief-maker back in high school, but after a particular incident I changed my conduct. This was in my third year of high school. I just decided that It was time to calm down, be humble, think before I speak and treat people with all due respect. I have certainly grown and matured to being a refined young man if I may say so myself. I am glad I made the change.

In school I was one of those kids who was the class clown. Although I was not a bad child I just did not behave as well as other children. Even though I did not always behave I always got my work done, whenever it was given. I was also very good at comprehending, if I saw something one time, I would not have to see it again.
