What was your social category in High school

This should be interesting to see how everybody was like in school. Here goes me!

I was a nerd that played basketball. I was in with the popular crowd in middle school but I stopped hanging out with them when my friends started getting into drugs. That and I realized I needed to start prepping for college with SATs, getting a high GPA, and AP classes.
 
I was a nerd in highschool that also played basketball and golf, but only my freshman year because I got a job. I hung with both nerds and the "cool" people. I was kind of one of those "cool" nerds that was not really a stereotypical nerd.

I was in honors/AP classes my 4 years in HS too. Around my junior year I started modding Playstations and selling "backups" to people, as well as music CD's since burners were expensive and not many people had them at the time. I didn't drink or do any drugs all through highschool.
 
Social chameleon. I never really associated with a particular group and sort of floated around between various ones. I went to a very small high school (graduating class of 48 people) so the "clicks" could only be so big. I hung out with nerds, athletes, stoners, D&D gamers, churchy types, and everything in between. I was nerdy but athletic and in a long term relationship with the same girl my Jr and Sr years. Also worked a ton in addition to everything else.
 
In High school, I mostly hung out with the smart kids/lan party group, or the stoners. It wasnt bad. People were generally good/nice and easy to get along with.
 
Quiet, straight As, hung out with somewhat rebellious guys. We brought various incendiary substances to school to fool with.
 
None. Quiet, lots of video games. Mostly AP classes which I dicked off in, after acing for 6 years I decided I didn't care, and managed to pass all my classes in 12th grade with perfectly executed 70's, except science (100 there).

Very much outside social groups, only actual friends I had were a couple females and at the very tail-end of HS I made some gaming friends, lan parties/d&d and such.
 
I was mostly a geek, my friends not so much though. First day of high school I was terrified AF, but met some new people fairly quickly and became friends and it did not take long to feel more at ease. If anything HS was probably my best time in terms of schooling. I had switched from the catholic to public system which was a smaller school and it was overall a more tightly knit. Most classes had like 10 people at most. I had a class where we were 3. That time in my life is also when I really started to get interested in computers and dive deep into them, like from playing around on them in the lab, library etc so I'd geek out quite a lot. This school was my first school where computers were quite heavily available and class projects often revolved around using them. The years before they had the Unisys Icons and the odd ball win95 PC but it was very niche to get to use them. I oddly miss those Unisys Icons though, I'd totally get one if I could get my hands on one. I think they were only used in Ontario and for a short span though, then they were all destroyed. Typical government waste.

In general I was pretty well accepted, and seen as one of the smarter kids. Heck I'd get my name called on the intercom and it was to go help a teacher or admin staff with a computer. That was always funny. Most people that get their names called are in trouble, for me, it was because someone needed my help. It was night and day compared to elementary. In elementary I was pretty much considered a loser and in high school I was probably a bit above average. Nobody really gave me trouble, even the "rougher" groups were cool with me.

I oddly miss those days and that school. Sadly from what I heard that school has degraded badly now days, it's considered one of the worse schools. I think part of the issue is they don't get as much funding given it's a much smaller school system. I sadly don't really talk to any of those old friends anymore, everyone kind of went their separate ways after grad. They're mostly all married now and have their own lives. Kinda how it goes I guess.
 
Back in the hippie days when I was in school it generally broke down to freaks, jocks, and straights (nothing to do with sex). I was a freak.
 
Nerdy jock I guess. Played football and did track and field, but had AP classes and Calculus. Didn't get straight A's though. Got along with pretty much everyone and after football games I would party or hang out with whoever. Mostly other football players, but I had no problem hanging out with the band or drama folks either.
 
Football, band, wrestling, physics club, camera club, climbing, nerd, reader, drama club, WW I I club, gamer, drinker, smoker, wood shop, metal shop, printing shop, electronic shop.
 
It was just me and my older brother living in a rented house. Lets just say..it was fucking nuts. Parties all the time. I was a bit of a legend to say the least.
 
I didn't really fit in much. I was shy, awkward and rather fat. I wasn't into sports. I came from a typical middle-class family. I did well in school but only had a few friends. I loved computers and programming but I was not like the other nerdy types. Eventually puberty helped my physical issues - 6'1" and less shy and awkward.
 
I was the nerd that played MTG, Starcraft, Halflife, UO.

I was also the nerd that raved.
 
I went to a large school so there were tons of sub groups. I guess "Generally studious and effective sports participants" would be the closest? The guys all played football and a sprinkling of other sports and we had female lacrosse, rowing, track and volleyball players. Some band and drama participants too. A fair amount of higher level classes but not everyone. We were generally very good at the sports we played. I dont' really think there is a cliche that fits

I believe that group is called "fucking jocks"
 
Outside of school I most hung around with the nerds: D&D, MtG, etc.

In school I rarely saw them since they were in honors/AP and I wasn't thanks to some red tape screwups. So I hung out with the "losers" (the D/C students that just floated by, not bullied but not bullies, just there), the JROTC group (which had some overlap with the losers) and the stoners/alternative crowd that was full of drop-outs or flunk outs.

Or to put it in Breakfast Club terms I hung out with Brian, Bender and Allison.
