A was a loner for much of my high school years, as I am today. I didn't fit in with any group, I've always done my own thing and have never felt a big need for acceptance among my peers. However, I pretty much got along with everyone on an acquaintance level. I didn't have any haters, nor was I picked on. I think many people saw me as simply eccentric (or weird). Up until around 9th grade, I would say I was one of the most "popular" people at my school. But I was never "popular" in a popular way. I did my own thing, was a clown, and made lots of people laugh. When I got into drugs is when I started to withdraw from people.
I float among the drama and band nerds, the crazyist, groviest clique of them all. WOOT! One thing that's weird (but cool). . .I go to a Catholic HS with about 700 people, and there are more hippies than goths. Theres a clutch of preppy punk posers in my class that are really popular, and then there are the serious punks who hang around the band room. I'm not punk, but most of my friends are, and I hear them complain about this constantly. I guess it's frivilous to worry about it, but I hate it when people are called hippies just because they smoke pot and listen to old music, without having the actual hippy values. I used to roll my eyes when my friends would gripe about all the punk posers that came out after Avril got popular, but now that the hippy movement is more pronounced, there's been a few posers cropping up too. The thing that botheres me is that they don't really "get it" about the culture. It's not the clothes you wear or the music you listen too or doing drugs at all, it's the morality that's important. Does this bother anyone else?
i dont think i had more than two friend from the same social group. i had friends that were freaks, stoners, jocks(yes, there are a few cool football players on earth), and any other group you could think of. ive always liked to give everyone a chance no matter what group they are in. you get to know a lot more interesting people that way. people can really suprise you. for the most part though, most all those people were just acquaintances. ive only got about 3 true friends, and we're all the same, but different from any group ive ever seen. its like we're all loners who happened to find each other.
Lots of students make fun of me almost every day because of the style of clothes that I wear. There is this boy who sits behind me in English class who is always flinging the flower out of my hair. Should I just give him the flower so he leaves me alone? Please help me hhf
No. Go to a craft store where they have all the silk flowers. Scoop one of the fallen flower heads off the floor, and give it to him. If you gave him a real one he'd probably mutiliate it. And flower - stay cool, ok?
My high school had nearly 4000 students...so there were no definite popular kids or unpopular. There were kids who were known because of stuff they did. The student council president, the class president, the stars of the althletic teams...ect. I didnt even know the Homecoming king my senior year. And the only reason why I knew the queen was because her and I went to the same elementary and middle schools together. I hung out with a variety of people. Mainly the drama club kids and choir kids, since we spent so much time together.I had a small group of friends whom we all kinda grew up together. My group was pretty cliquey though..especially with the drama thing. as for my identity?? I was such a tool.LOL. whatever the popular fashion of that year was..I was wearing it. I wore flannel but hated Nirvana and other Alternative music in 9th grade. 10th grade was a big year for European/sophisticated fashions. I shopped at Express, Limited, Banana Republic. Wore short skirts with identical colored tights, cashmere sweaters and clunky shoes, scarves, huge dangly earrings. 11 grade was dominated by jeans and preppy sweaters. 12th grade was the year of "Clueless". So I wore plenty of plaid mini-skirts, stockings,cute sweaters,heeled marty-janes and slender jackets with faux-fur trim. I was a total tool.
I have my own group. I alone am the only rock star. Mostly the groups you get labeled into here are either "punk" -(listne to nu-metal or wear dark clothes etc.), "popular" - (have parents that let you date older guys) or "kid" -(everyone else who's mommies pick their clothes for them). Last year, me and my best friend were called "hippies" because we listen to old music and have a peace sign t-shirt. The name fits her I guess, she is positive and sweet, friendly, and loves flowers and that sort of thing. I am just too angry and disgusting for the name "hippy" to really fit. But we both kind of resented we were always lumped together, can't have one without the other, and that sort of thing gets annoying. Then, for some reason, a bunch of little girls who never had friends before, noticed us, (the shy type, church every Sunday, good girls and that sort of thing). These girls suddenly were dressing more loud (like us) swearing more (like us) making dirty jokes, and just all around following us. I'm still not sure if this was good or bad, most likely bad, I guess I should be flattered, they were nice people and all, but still, it goes against the point. If anything we did as far as how we dressed and talked and acted had a point, it was to promote individuality not following. We were not out to create another group. Damn teenagers...
I was an All-State Quarterback so i guess that explains it all... alcoholic weight-lifting jock w/ a cheerleader girlfriend... ha, things really are different now. i coach now and smoke w/ the other coaches (my best friends) before or after practice. It's funny how everyone, including myself, thought I'd be playing for some big time college right now, but I'm actually happier and have more fun coaching the kids at the park where we grew up.
i have a hard time connecting with people at school, and as a result have about 2 people i hang out with that i've met there. i most fit in with the artsy crowd, i've always been a big drama geek and have taken every art class i can get my hot little hands on. even fitting in with the artsy crowd is a pain sometimes though, for every beautiful creative soul there's five catty bitches who only care about how big their part in the play is and get make-up all over you every time you give them a hug.
haha, sounds like we should have went to the same high school. i was really into the punk thing too... mmm.. punk boys, hahah. so i was probably with the freaks, but i liked talking or hanging out with anyone who was a hellian at heart.
I'm labeled as a freak... I guess. I'm not too sure. I have friends that are Mexican and ditch school, do drugs, get suspended for weapons and stuff and i do those things with them, but I also have a few friends that are preppy and popular and clean. I also hang out with hippies and people who think they are living in the 60s/70s and punks. It's a melting pot.
When I was in high school I didn't really hang with any "clique", but people labeled me as preppy. I don't know why, but I guess it was because I tried to look nice for school. I didn't care what people thought though. I had preppy friends, 'freaks', skaters, everything.
ummm i prolly fit into the freak/ wierd kid group.... some of my firends are kinda nerdy, and alot of them are pure stoners I NEVER FIT INTO THE IN CROUD nor do i want to .... to much pressure.....
people see me as either a goth or a freak...probably both. i get along with all kinds of people though.
