So What Were You In High School ?

[fallensaviour]

I was all over the spectrum....I had long black hair usually pulled back into a pony tail.Muscle shirts leather jacket,dayton black leather boots and ac/dc blasting from my 76 Camaro.Fight at the drop of a hat I was 5'11" and weighed 235lbs my arms were 18 and 3/4 inches big with a 54 chest and 38 waist.
Lettered in Football as a defensive tackle,drank beer and tequila like it was water missed weeks of school at a time and graduated with a B+ average.No dope but school was boring as hell!!!Party and chase "babes".
So call it whatever you will I'm not sure.I call it good times and even greater memories.
I used to pride myself on being able to hang-out with everybody;stoners,jocks,nerds,loners,white,black,y ellow,purple...I didn't(and still don't)care what or who you were;as long as you were a decent person I'd hang with ya.

Now I'm balder than Bruce Willis and I still have a 54 chest only now it sits at my waistline...

None of the above- I was one of the largest HS groups, the unknown. Those that don't fall into any of the major catagories.e Probably could ask most of my graduating class of 600 if they remembered me and they'd say "who?". Sure, I had a group of friends. There were about 10 of us that were pretty tight, but all also fell into that unknown category.

My freshman year, I was a baseball jock in the spring, a band geek in the fall (I atleast played the drums, kinda cool). I wasn't big enough or fast enough to play football.

My sophomore and junior year, I was the kid that wore camouflage pants with black t-shirts and listened to strange music.

My senior year, I was the kid that dressed like Miami Vice. I had a job at two stores in the mall called "Merry Go Round" and "DJ's". (same company) I had a killer discount and sported those Z Cavarichi's and Girbaud jeans with shirts like "Bad Boy Club", etc.

I loved my 10 year reunion. I was 6 ft, 190lbs with very little body fat. I run into the guys who played football. They were tiny little punks, shorter than me. No one recognized me (other than my true friends).

When I graduated, I was 5'-9" (maybe 10" on a good day) 165lbs and chubby. I couldn't bench press 120lbs. I was voted the most changed person.

^^^ You were the "TransFormer" ... Thats what we called them.

[Hector]

I was in the high school football team AND a Trekkie at the same time.

Just a big nerdy goof who was never picked on because of my size and association with the football team.

Best of both worlds.

[Sideshow Spock]

I was a 3-sport athlete growing up (baseball, basketball, football), but only played organized basketball and football in HS. I had no size (5'9", 150), but was a speedster with great hands and quick feet.

I took advanced placement courses in my junior and senior yrs, and graduated HS already with over a semester's worth of college credit. My core group of friends were neighborhood guys I went all through school with, and by our senior year we were all good friends with jocks and nerds alike.

Many of us were also musicians, and I fronted a Springsteen tribute band my senior year for Battle of the Bands. We didn't fare too well vs. the metal competition, but it was a helluva fun time.

I look back on my HS days with a lot of good memories.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I was a #1

[jwyblejr]

No idea. I hung out with just about everybody. I was pals with the guys girls wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. I hung out with slackers. I even had a few jocks as friends.

[UnderdogDJLSW]

I was one of the theatre kids. Techie and actor. Not very high on the HS social ladder.

[Joe90]

I was a chameleon.

In grade 10 I was in an all boys Boarding School, with a student population of 100 strong. I'd been there for all of Junior High School, and then grade 10. In grade 11 I attended a Co-Ed High School with 2500 students. All the little girls I had gone to school with in grade 6 were now young women.

Culture Shock to the nth Degree!

Grade 11 was spent trying to adjust. I had gone from a highly structured/controlled environment with 3 hours of after school Study Hall every day to no studying at all. My marks average plummeted from 85 to 55. My years of Captivity taught me tolerance so I was able to connect with the Jocks (Frat Rats), the Heads (Stoners), and the Geeks (Library Crowd). Girls were difficult to relate to. I found I was extremely shy and lacked self-esteem around them. In January of grade 11 I joined a local Martial Arts school and began training in Buck Hawk Pai -- White Crane Sect -- a Tibetan form of Kung Fu. I sure burned off a lot of "energy" working out.

Didn't meet any hot Kung Fu babes, though... Dang!

Grade 12 was easier. I got more involved with Sports, Student Counsel, and got my marks up to 65. I still didn't study, and did just enough work to get by. I was polite and respectful of the teachers and they left me alone. Again, that habit of tolerance and being able to co-exist with others got me through. I had learned a little about women in grade 11 and by grade 12 I was able to speak a full sentence to girls. A strong-willed young woman set her sights on me in the winter of grade 12 and we began to date. She was very popular in the school -- an athlete and honour student. Being the chameleon, I changed colours to blend in with her. My marks got better, but I still wasn't studying... I found that having a "girl-friend" -- and a popular one -- somehow increased my status in High School. Bizarre... Very bizarre...

I found University more to my liking.

[Mr Havoc]

I would have to say #3 but i was also on the honor role. I was the artist always drawing and creating. My art teacher hated me. I was a little mixed up. I had friends in all the circles and didn't really fit in just one.

[thunderbolt]

Class clown/smart ***. Still am.

[monkey tennis]

At 14 I was like the 40 year old virgin.

1. I lived at my parents
2. I hated sports
3. I had my toys packed and boxed away
4. I still haden't 'got my leg over'
5. I rode my bike to school.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I was pretty much in my own catergory. I briefly tried to hide my geekdom in Middle School. But by high school I didn't really care who knew I was into comics (although I only shared my toy obsession with a select few). I was the class artist, and was always doodling comic stuff. It was well known I wanted to work in comics, so I guess that legitmized my geekdom somewhat. I never had much problems with bullies, mostly due to one of my best friends being one of the toughest kids in school. I was usually on the honor roll and in some AP classes, but I had to work at it pretty hard.

I was friends with people in every group imaginable. Nerds, toughs, jocks, rednecks, some preps. Oddly enough, in our class the "popular" group didn't really seem that popular. They were kind of off in their own world and everyone else pretty much ignored them. Seemed like the average folks like me had them overpowered and outnumbered.

Never went out for school sports although I was by no means inactive. I thought about trying out for soccer but the potheads filled out the team, and they were all jerks. That was the one catergory I didn't care much for.

Similar here...mostly a #1. I graduated in the top 10% of my class and most of the classes were accelerated honors or AP classes but I also played Soccer, Football, and Volleyball but wasn't really one to hang out with other jocks off the field.

I was always scrawny and similar to Chris (about 5'9" and more like 150 lbs).

Ten year reunion, I'm 6 feet, 175 lbs, nobody recognizes me. I wasn't shy but not super outgoing in High School but had changed dramatically in looks and personality. I've gained 10 lbs since the 10 year but 185 still ain't so bad (at least that's what I tell myself).
