What were you in high school?

[4Lclovergirl]

I was not in the "popular" crowd, but I was in the party scene, so I talked to pretty much everyone. Too bad most of my friends from HS are still in that crowd, and still hanging out with HSers. We used to jokingly call ourselves lifers, since we were never going to leave the burg... and well, for most of them it was right, but I can't hang with teenagers who have to be shady to drink. I like being over 21 and going to a bar, drinking at the "ski jump" or "$hit plant" just isn't my style.

I also was big into sports and horseback riding. So the friends I still have today from HS are in that category. We are horse crazy people, that never goes away :-D

I hung out with all the cool/popular guys but wasn't as popular as they were. I knew alot of different ppl though. I wasn't really popular at all till my junior year. my freshman/sophmore years I was a spaz. I guess it was the marijuana that finally calmed me down. *thanks weed I owe you one.

Tagger / Gangster

I guess I'm the only one who went down that path. It was fun at the time. I still get the urges to go back to doing what I used to. It was a lot easier than being straight as an arrow. But then I remember that huge cop saying "Put your hands behind your back" and I snap out of it.

Which gang, and what made you snap out of the lifestyle?

The gang that I would kick it with was called OVS. Ontario Vario Sur in IE California. I wasn't in it, but I had family and friends that were, so I would pretty much go back them up if they needed me to and vice versa. I was from a few tagger crews. Like I said I pretty much snapped out the second I got out of jail. It was not fun in there and I realized that I never wanted to go back. I pretty much just stopped hanging out with the people who I knew would get me back there. I still have friends who are connected to that life. But I don't talk to them to much.

Now I work in Orange County as a Web Developer. If the old me would have seen the new me I probably would have kicked my own ass for being a "sellout". It's hard for me not to go back to that lifestyle because it was so much easier. It's a different state of mind. Right now I have a wife, bills, I'm thinking of buying a house. In other words, responsibilities. Back then it was just minute to minute. Didn't have much money, didn't need it. If I needed it I would "earn" it. I still lived fine. I don't know...it's to much to explain. But in the end it's better to be where I'm at then where I was.

My HS had gang bangers and taggers but it was hard to distinguish them from all the "wannabe's".

 

[stormbv]

I was a member of the Jets. All we did is kick the Sharks' asses all day long.

BigDan back in the mid 80s = intellectual, reclusive, sexy, rebellious punk rocker. Would shave parts of my head and get more piercings, and wear eyeliner just to piss off the repressed, homophobic jocks in my small-town highschool.

Jocky Band Nerd

 

[Jugernot]

Geek... not quite a nerd. Everyone knew me as "The computer guy"....

 

[MistaTastyCakes]

I was just...me. I kinda did my own thing and hung out with everyone

Just remember folks - there is never a reason to be ashamed of who you were back then...kids are just mean. Unless you're the smelly, greasy kid. Then you just suck

 

[clamum]

did my own thing...not really a nerd but i got good grades. if that makes one a nerd? hehe. i'd say punk but i didn't really hang out with the "real" punks (skipped school, smoked cigs, spiked hair, chains, etc). i could get along with pretty much anyone long as they didn't have some massive ego (i HATE that).

[Chrishuff1]

Everything except band.

 

[KnickNut3]

I'm a nerdy theater jock who dresses preppy. I pretty much hang with all the (normal) crowds. So all but goths, skaters, crackheads, etc.

In other words, I'm "popular," but I don't have many "friends." haha

Sounds more like you didn't fit in anywhere.
