What Were You In High School?

(Normally I don't like to classify, but this is just a little bit of fun.)

There are far too many "classifications" for me to make a poll, so just describe what you were in high school. Were you a jock? Were you the popular one? Were you the brainiac? The geek? The slut? The goth?

In my experience I think I can classify myself as a geek. I do pretty well in my classes, as much as can be expected. Also, I'm a patron of all things geekish. D&D, video games, Star Trek (Trekkers RULE!), anime...

Go ahead!

Geek, and damned proud of it. I liked Star Trek, Star Wars (Though not as much, being a diehard Trekkie), and debated military tactics with people, whilst playing DnD a lot.

I am not sure.

What would you call a youth leader in church who engaged in D&D and Vampire gaming sessions with his youth group, took church vans to Sci-Fi movie premiers, and was only moderately popular within the class body as a whole? I didn't really know what to call myself then either. True, my closest friends were geeks, but I got along with everybody pretty well.

I was into some geeky stuff at school (D&D, video games, music) & I definitely wasn't in the cool/good looking group, but I was also played three different sports (cricket, hockey [not ice hockey!] & Aussie Rules footy). I'm not sure where I should classify myself.

Tad of a contradiction really, me. I'm an emo kid (so, by school terms, a goth/indy), who's reasonable at sport, and exceptional academically. Personally, I consider myself more of the alternative, gothic type than any other school stereotype, but that could just be me.

i was in the classroom mostly.



I was a neutral, part geek, part popular.

I could hang around with the brainiacs, the bullies, the girls, the goths, the serial killers. Hell, even the teachers.

I don't really know what I was...haha

I played all manner of sports: tennis, soccer, was on the swim team, x-country, track and was also a cheerleader for football and wrestling.
Did very well in my classes, joined a ton of organizations (tried to hold positions in all of them), and was well liked by most everyone in school. I did, however, role-play with a group of friends, adore video games (which I still enjoy), join the debate team for LD debate, participate in plays/musicals/one acts, and was a member of our HS choir.

I was friends with people from all different "groups" all through HS, and didn't really consider myself a part of any one group.

What are the chances that roughly 70% of the guys on here admit to being the geek (I'm including braniac in that one FNAR), while a further 15% claim they were cool/jock/whatever to avoid being labelled a geek, 10% were actually cool/jock/whatever and the final 5% were the loner. If you are seeking to categorise, that is. As for the girls...hey, I'm like Freud. I don't even claim to understand them.

Also, I suppose I was a bit of a loner who became geeky towards the final years as I called many of my former 'cool' wanker friends to go fuck themselves with very pointy cacti after one too many 'huh, you're short' jokes. Except a few who were quite cool. I think I only joined the ranks of geeks when I finally watched a Star Wars film at the age of 15.

EDIT: Good god, I almost forgot. I was in the cricket, athletics and xc teams for all 5 years. I was never jocktacular though - I was far too skinny :p

I was a King Geek. I sort of led the outcast/oddball/geek click.

I was pretty popular. I did taekwondo seriously, so I was a bit jockish, but I also had the highest GPA in my class, so I was a bit brainish too. Most people at the school seemed to know who I was, which was weird, but I didn't complain. I enjoyed myself and had a lot of fun those years, as I lived in a boarding house in connection to the school, which was in a different town from where my parents lived.

I was much the same, although we were referred to as "Nerds." I was very shy, particularly around girls ( who I considered to be a different race of some sort! ), rather weak and skinny, and spent much of my time reading books in my room at home. I did, however, get better. ;)

No doubt! :D

I didn't really fit into a single "clique." I was in all advanced or AP courses (along with taking some courses at the local university), played soccer, wrestled, was in student government, played sax in the jazz band, did a lot of volunteer work, played a lot of D&D. I dressed grunge before it was called grunge. For the most part I was pretty popular, I suppose.

I was the guy who sat in the back of class making fun of the teachers and only doing my work at the last minute, and then suddenly pulled a 3.6 average out of my ass when everyone graduated.
It was especially funny when I went to this stupid ceremony for people who were "t3h sm4rt13r" and spent the whole time laughing at the others who put serious work into it, and I wrote most of my essays/learned material for tests in an hour the morning before they were due.
Oh, and I took an AP course and Dual-Enrolled (Pre-Cal) once just for shits and giggles, slept my way to As in both classes. Fucking College wouldn't except the Dual-Enrollment credit though.

Geek and like most a patron of all things geekish: Star Trek, Star Wars, Marching Band, Choir, computer games, DnD (heck I still play every other week), Fantasy and SF books, did very well in math/science classes (not so well in others).

I was good at a sport though and actually set a number of school records: Cross Country and Track (1600 ande 3200) so I guess you could say I had a bit of jock.

OTOH, my SAT/ACT and ASAVB rocked, so when I went to Uni the first time I was credited all of my Frosh "requireds" except biology.

I was voted most likely to die violently by age 30. (They lose)

And other than being the class "Charlie Brown" - I was mostly ignored (when I wasn't defending myself from bullies... funny how that stopped after I went to Army Basic between my 11th & 12th year... :rolleyes: ).

I have not, and will not attend a class reunion. :gundge:

I was on the Chess team and the Debate team. I also was captain of my swim team bringing in all state one year. I have friends who played no sports and friends whose purpose in life was to be sports 24 hours a day.
After 100 years later they are still my friends. I was not a geek or egghead as they were called in my world and I was not a jock as is talked about here. I also was not a teacher’s pet. Mostly I flew under the radar and never got caught doing things I did not want to be caught doing.

I think that would classify me as smart.

Its a little model of shitty socialization, which in my experience, doesn't follow through to university/work.

That said, I liked my highschool pretty well. I had friends, played in the band, got good marks, and got along with most people. Didn't pay much attention to "groups" and other lame constructs, I just existed with everyone in relative peace.

I dressed like a rave kid (which was different back then from what it is now) most of the time. But I hung out with a mixed group of people with seemingly nothing in common other than friendship and a disdain for the stuck-up popularity crowd. I had friends in the stoner (drug using rock/alternative/metal crowd), raver (mostly mexican members of the rave crews responsible for throwing all the raves), hip hop, and jock crowd, but the core group I hung out with was the previously mentioned mixed bunch.

Yeah seriously, high school didn't do much for my social skills except I now know how to talk effectively with gangsters and wannabes. Thankfully I'm in Uni now, where being a member of an Anime club seems to be the norm.

That is sound advice.

At highschool, I am the person that will always show up to class not knowing there is a test (unless someone asks me if I studied), not knowing what the test will be on, and get the best mark in the class. I am friends with the "geeks" because I am smart enough to get into the "geek" classes. I am friends with the fairly popular kids. I am relatively good at hockey, so I am friends with most of the other kids that play hockey. I could get better marks than about 5/6 of the class without paying attention, studying, or doing homework on a consistant basis which really makes the kids who do bad in school dislike me.
Which "cliche" would that put me in?

I think I was all of those at one point in time or another... though not very popular. Not a braniac either... well, I was only in sports for the first semester of my freshman year... not too slutty of course... I never died my hair black... what were the choices again???

I'd follow you into battle, and I am sure that we could goad a few other Generalites into joining up provided that we offered them some cookies and Modship over a Forum somewhere.
The only problem would be sobering them up enough so that they can remember to point their weapons at the enemy, but keeping them to drunk to realize what a stupid idea risking your life for cookies is.

I wound up being the prom king. Voted best dressed in senior yearbook. In my sophmore year I started to date senior girls and then stuck only with them till I graduated. I was popular. I played soccer and basketball. I was in the running club and on the weightlifting team. Also played with the golf with a group for part of a year. I exceeded in English and biology. Not so well in math classes, or chemistry. Wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper. Graduated with a NY State Regents Diploma with 24 credits. I think we needed 20 to pass.
All in all-a good experience. I would do it over. I'd apply myself much more on a second chance, though.

I was the floating loner... Everyone thought I was someone I wasn't, everyone thought I was a stoner, but I was too "popular" to hang out with the stoners. Then I was too much or a Stoner to hang out with the populars. At the same time I smoked too much weed to make sense when consulting ideas with geeks. As far as athletics go they were way too much time commitment, would get in the way of smoking weed eh?

The greatest part was that I've never smoked:p

I was the cold, dark stranger to most people. In my group, which wasn't really geeky as such (it was mostly the achievers and Christians), I was the one people came to for advice, and that was pretty much my role. Sure, I was in the Hockey and Cricket teams, came consistently top of the year in our Computing courses, won awards for my journalism, managed to fit two years of Maths into one summer so I could sit my A-level early, lorded over the kids as a prefect etc. , but I wasn't really considered a geek, mostly because of music tastes, lack of respect for certain members of staff (who were, frankly, untalented washouts of society; Most of them weren't, but those that were were very loud about my criticisms) and because I generally don't talk about my techie work.

I was a loner in highschool. I spent most of my time hanging out with what I will call the "freaks". Those people that didn't fit well into one of the social catagories so sort of hung out together even though they didn't necessarly have anything in common. But I also would hang out with the nerds a little bit. But they were computer nerds while I was more of a science nerd. We didn't have any science nerds. And their obsession with Spam (canned ham), altioids, and hacking got anoying sometimes. I had a few friends that were Preps. Normally I would think they were too comformist for me, but some of them were really nice. Besides, at least they weren't conforming to someone's idea of nonconformity. That was always anoying when someone claimed to be a noncomformist and behaved exactly like the rest of the noncomformists.

I suppose if we had more I would fit in with the science nerds pretty well. But I found the whole idea that people joined a social group and adapted all of their ideas and behaviors quite anoying. It felt like there were no individuals and that everyone was a carbon copy of a three or four different forms.

I was not popular. But my strangeness, individualism, and intelligence made me very well known in my school. Also my floating between social groups also caused me to be better known.

(Normally I don't like to classify, but this is just a little bit of fun.)

There are far too many "classifications" for me to make a poll, so just describe what you were in high school. Were you a jock? Were you the popular one? Were you the brainiac? The geek? The slut? The goth?

In my experience I think I can classify myself as a geek. I do pretty well in my classes, as much as can be expected. Also, I'm a patron of all things geekish. D&D, video games, Star Trek (Trekkers RULE!), anime...

Go ahead!

Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact
that we had to sacrifice a whole
Saturday in detention for whatever
it was we did wrong. But we think
you're crazy to make an essay
telling you who we think we are.
You see us as you want to see us...
In the simplest terms, in the most
convenient definitions.
CUT TO:
41. EXT. FOOTBALL FIELD - DAY
We see Bender walking towards us as Brian's monologue
continues.
BRIAN (VO)

But what we found out is that each
one of us is a brain...
ANDREW (VO)
...and an athlete...
ALLISON (VO)
...and a basket case...
CLAIRE (VO)
...a princess...
BENDER (VO)
...and a criminal...
BRIAN (VO)
Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.
We see Bender walking across the football field
as he thrusts his fist into the air in a silent cheer
and freezes there.

See the quote above from the Breakfast Club.I was a brain in the "smart" classes, a jock on the Wrestling and Track teams, a basket case who tried to light homemade napalm in one of the toilets, a criminal who smoked and sold weed, but I'm pretty sure I was not a princess.

I don't know what I am. On the geeky side, I love Star Wars, having lightsaber fights, making calculator programs, and get decent grades. For Jock, I am the best tennis player in school and haven't done homework at all in HS. For prankster/troublemaker, I have found myself in the office 6 times already for various offenses and had to talk myself out of trouble with cops 6 times since the summer (not counting traffic offenses), and I am a bit of a kleptomaniac (sp?).

I don't even know what the following would put me under: Pro wrestling, backyard wrestling, practicing flips/airborne acrobatics, parkour/free running, climbing buildings, and Peace Jam (only for community service).

never got labled.

I played sports, was in drama club, did lighting and set work, was in band (marching, symphonic, jazz, concert, wind all on trumpet), was in all honors and AP classes, would have been top 10 of my class if I worked to my "full potential" but enjoyed partying on the weekends...had friends ranging from full out goth and kids in "alternative high school" to head cheerleader and captain of the football team. I was on pretty comfortable terms with the school board and admin (could refer to them by first names), cut class all the time and got out of the repercussions. was a "peer leader" in a community service/anti drug group, smoked, slacked off but got good grades, ended up in a good university.

so basicly, I couldnt be labled. I was a huge walking contradiction.

I was the guy people got a hold of when they were looking for drugs. I was on the wrestling team for a bit, but it got in the way of my partying. I was in the gifted program, but pissed the teacher off too much because I kept coming to school high, and he couldnt prove it.

Where is it written that if your smart, you can't have fun? JEEZ!

I was not a geek I think. I played D&D though.

Hmm, I was friends with people of all groups even the goths. Well only a few of them.

I did Drama club. I got All A's and some B's... So Brain!

I like that movie Drunk commies: I wasn't a princess but I did like My Little Ponies and Care Bears...it was a decent show!

I wasn't a criminal but I didn't rat out a classmate who once brought it to class/used it before. Idiot didn't realize you can smell it on him.

Basket Case...yeah I like that, I might have been, but not as much as a friend who hada Alien named Luna in her head.

Athlete, I was okay in basketball.

So yeah I was niether and all except goth. I liked life too much :)

I was a rocker, heavy metal head, head banging geek. Did well in classes, was on student council but hung out in the smoking area and partied with the bad asses. Had long hair (oh to have hair again). Wore jeans, jean jacket and rocker shirts. Hated funkers. Got along with most of the cliuqes including jocks, goths, grungers and browners. Only clique I didn't get along with was the concert banders. :)

I was....there.

Not much more to say. I was friends with the "nerds", but I usually hung around my own little group. Most of my group were really into music, but we didn't get on with most of the "musos". We were sort-of stoners, but we didn't really get on with their group much either. We definitely didn't get along with the jocks.

So yeah...we were just a group, not any real stereotype. Everyone knew us, though.

I hung around in the goth or metal crowds, bought a motorbike,crashed parties, dropped from an A student to "that's it, get out!" student, and ended up working in a steel yard welding bits of metal together. ( and NO reference to Flashdance!!) I loved that period of my life.

That sounds like me :) Also I was well known because I was bullied in my first grade by half my year and had locker #666 which attracted quite some weird people ;)
