Were you the cool kid? The geek? The heavy metal weird guy/girl?

After, do tell about your current job/living conditions? How long ago was it that you attended high school?

Just curious.

I was the band president. I pretty much got along with everyone though.

I was the shy kid, shy flirt if you will. I'm now a major slvt and have been for a while.

Or I could start with "My childhood was typical...." and take it from there /pinky... muuaaaawahahahahaha...

I was a geek and a social outcast back then.

I'm still the same way 10 years later, but at least I'm a well paid one :)

I was the heavy metal weirdo, but then junior year I started smoking pot and became a "cool kid"

Senior year I was in a band that rocked the school, so that helped too :D

Was an weird 'international' kid in HS. People viewed me as being much cooler in college, I guess I just adapted to the way of life here.

Everybody knew of me, but only had a few close ppls.

Pretty much the same way now, except have a few more people I'm closer with.

Same here. I knew a lot of popular people so a lot of people knew who I was but I wasn't really close with anyone.

I went to a magnet school, so definitely not the geek.

I was known as the guy in the wheelchair.

I hung out with so many different groups of people that I had few very close friends.

I was on the wrestling team, track team, drummer in the band, and I was taking a ton of AP and honors classes so I kept things pretty diverse.

College was much in the same, but after my freshman year I started working more and my total number of friends have decreased as people moved away. I've been going to college and working now for 8 years and my overall number of friends is probably under 10, though I know a ton of people from the past 8 years that have moved on I would consider friends.

I assume at some point I will be meeting new people from a job change or a move. I'll probably get involved with a church or organization for additional social activities when my need for raw time and money decreases.

The Engima in high school...

I think I still pretty much am. People either love me or are resentful of me. It's interesting. I try to give others as much power as possible, and that freaks some people out. There used to be a guy here called "Total Reflected Power" and he totally understood the principle... we just reflect power, and to try to hold on to it is useless. To help others shine is everything.

i was the guy who always stood up for the people who were afraid to talk-back to their teachers... it got me in trouble a lot of times, but i didn't care. i had friends in all the cliques, but none of them were close... i only had like 3 close friends and one best friend.

i was also the kid who people said, "wait... you're a nerd?? how?"

now, i'm pretty much the same, except i know better than to sass at my professors and call them out on something they did wrong or cuss them out in class.

Average kid in highschool. Had friends, but not tons. Wasnt really popular, nor was I a longer/outcast. I was pretty shy when it came to talking in class discussions or socializing with people I didnt know at lunch, etc. I regret not being more social in high school.
Now I have a decent job but still lacking social department, I need to get out more.

I knew everybody and most likely thier parents (76 ppl in class) but I was only friends with a couple people. I was the sarcastic asshole in the class.

nerdiest indian kid who wasnt really like the typical indian kid (studies hard, thick accent, only thinks of studies and doesnt hang out with friends on the weekends) in my school. everyone knew/liked me from all of the groups (goth, band, geek, nerd, asian, popular, outcasts, etc), but i wasnt one of the "popular" kids. im friends with everyone, but i hang out with a selected set of friends.

btw, our school as over 2500 kids with 750-800 kids in my senior class alone.
