What were you like in high school?

Nobody forces you to play on a team. You choose to play dumbass

 

i never played on a team. wasn't a team player. when i was in the 6th grade, they started that whole group seating bullshit in school, where everyone in your group was supposed to work on project together and shit like that. fucking hated it. i did all the work because i didn't want all the mindless fucking morons in my group to bring me down.

my brothers and sister were all very athletic, though. my best friend went to purdue on a full scholarship, too. when i was working 3 jobs to pay my way through college, i really wished i had been an athlete. but athletic activities involved my breasts bouncing all over the fucking place and i'm too private to make a spectacle of myself like that.

 

I was kinda a snot, had my group of girl friends and beyond that didn't care about anyone. I did competitive cheer my freshman year and got 'demoted' to jv my sophmore year and quit because I hated it and played volleyball for 2 years and cross country and track for three. I'm still friends with most of the people I went to high school with and we all still look the same and act the same and are hesistant to open up to new people.

 

Well I went to a performing arts high school - so we were all pretty freaky. We really didn't have cliques, and if you didn't like someone no one gave a damn. But it was damn hard to be a straight girl - all the pretty boys were usually gay.

 

oh, i hung out with my two friends, som and joel. other people sorta came and went.

 

oh i was a debate and academic decatholon geek too but I kept it on the DL ... only my best friend knew I was on it until I went to state...that's when I quit (got made fun of and forced out of) cheer.

 

A lot like I am now.

 

you remind me of me so much
so much that it's insane
I need to talk to you more and find out how I turn out =D

 

i was a fucken stoner, never went to class, and did too many drugs. and was in the office every day for something or another. it was a drag. school isnt my cup of tea. i hung with the stoner hippie people all of which ive know since like elementary school. so when i actually showed up i had a lil crew i wasnt a complete loner. they put me in these honors classes because of my test scores but it was a bitch to actually sit through that crap. anywayssss im working on graduating now so fuck high school

 

hmmm i still go to school.
people think im a pisshead/ druggy who got arrested haha

 

group work - well, if my friends fabio and jonathan, and i were in a group...forget about it, we got the highest grade in class. straight up, no one could come close to the work we did. one of the projects we did in the economics class we had, the teacher kept our work to show the classes in the future as an example of what to do for the project - i visited 2 years after i graduated and she was still using it as an example. teachers would put other kids into our group just to help them out to improve there grade.

us 3, we helped each other out with papers, homework. we basically helped each other out with out weaknesses. i was good at economics and stats work, fabio was good at research and writing, jonathan was good at art and writing. at one point, out stats teacher asked me to teach the class - i always had the highest test scores, i tutored a bunch of kids during class after the lecture was over, i actually just went up to the chalk board and did my own mini-class.

so i wasn't just some jock haha. i actually was able to do well in school.

 

A stoner...Everyone thought I was a huge slut. Even though I was faithful to one guy for over two years...Maybe it was just wishful thinking.

 

I had acne

 

People thought I was strange.The teachers thought I was troubled.Its still the same only I have some better teachers.

 

I was a jock/stoner til they started doing drug tests for football; after that I was just a stoner. Took the hardest classes, had AP Chem and Calculus in my senior year, but I skipped alot to smoke bowls at the beach or at "Big Tree Park" down the street. Rarely took home a book. Was a solid C student, but I got As and Bs in all science courses.

 

holy shit, dave when did you start posting here?

 

a pisshead.......... hahha you brits have funny terms.

 

I went to a private international high school with a bunch of rich kids in Honduras. I walked around barefoot, played a lot of guitar, got all As in 11th and 12th, my teachers loved me to death, I had a couple of close groups of friends, but by 12th grade I was pretty much friends with everyone. I did drink alot, and did do a nice share of drugs, and did smoke ciggs... My principle always called me a "rebel without a cause" because I would object to any rule or idea the school enforces on the students without thier say. I loved high school, it was fun.

 

ha im sure it was/is

well my perspective has also changed if that makes it any worse

 

Very different and very much the same.

Back then, I had long hair and a pony tail. I wore really baggy / trashy looking clothing. I hung out with underground peoples / music affectionados. Had a couple of girlfriends....

Now, I weigh about 30 pounds less, I have short hair, I generally wear form fitting stuff, I hang out with mainstream types, and I usually date guys.

However, I'm still the hopeless musician that I was then. Still have a sarcastic Long Island sense of humour. Still love the outdoors, summer, swimming, being barefoot. Still like to challenge my mind and my spirit with new quests. Still like to cook and write and amuse myself with simple things. Still wonder where all the art went to....
