I wouldn't place myself into any stereotypical group.
I was the prankster / slightly annoying person at school. Not enough to lose friends or create enemies though. I got on with a lot of people, teachers included. I remember with one teacher, I would walk into his class every morning, call him his real name (including middle) and he would reply "good morning Sir!" To a few people, I was known as 'the one that listens to a lot of AC/DC'.

The kind that was too damn shy and afraid of failure to do anything. I didn't get laid until I was 23 because I didn't have the nerve to talk to the girls I liked. I didn't answer questions I knew because I didn't want to seem like a know-it-all to everyone, but my greatest gift is most likely my insane memory.

A loner.
I never participated in anything when in High School. I was asked to join a few teams but I never did. My first question was, will joining the team get me out of classes? The response was always, no we practice after class and on weekends. I was always looking for an excuse to not go to school. I got a job in Freshman year and shortly there after a car so I would skip class often. I've never subscribed to the idea that "good friends" exist so I keep to myself as much as possible.

I was the bored class/school clown with a huge temper and sometimes took pranks too far to the extent that some might have seen them as being a bully.
At the same time, I also hung out with some nerds, outcasts and jocks. I was always introducing them to metal and hardrock bands they'd never listen to on their own. The gangsters liked me too cos they loved it when I prank called their house.
So yeh was always kinda in the middle but when bored would cause chaos. There was a point where I spent more time in the principal's office than my own classroom...

I was a fairly well respected outsider. I had my 1 group of friends, generally we were cool nerds, skaters, musicians... I didn't go to one of the feeder middle schools, so I didn't have that same built in "we all know each other" thing (only 3 people in my class went to my middle school). I did above average academically, but wasn't defined as a smart kid. I didn't cause a ruckas. I was liked well enough and never really picked on or bullied. Probably helped that I was always on the bigger/taller side and even though I was somewhat overweight, I was pretty athletic.

Officer for a breast cancer awareness club (WWE/Susan G. Komen inspired). Closet wrestling fan and figure collector.

I was always kind of my own with style. Borrowed a lil from whatever look I liked. Even though I was from PA, I was always called the surfer kid. I was born in CA though, so I gravitated to that look. I had hair like Eric from Boy Meets World and was told I look like James Vanderbeek or Mark Paul Gosselaar. I never saw it, but oh well, it was a compliment.
I was too focused on girls. Never went longer than two weeks without a girlfriend. But I wish I would have tried harder with studying. I used to sit by some girl that would volunteer to write 1000 word essays for me. I'd let her. She's get mine done before hers. I felt bad, but yet I let her do it again... and again.

Really good at school in freshman year but really quiet/shy. Really terrible at school in sophmore year and still shy/even more awkward. Started becoming more outgoing in 11th grade when I discovered some things I'm not allowed to talk about on here then switched to drinking in Senior year and became a lot more social. I was never Mr Popular but always had a good group of friends or at least one or two people to b.s with in classes.
I blame the awkwardness/shyness on being on the computer too much/not playing sports growing up. I was an insecure kid and was too afraid at failing/letting people down to go out and try new things and make friends. I mean I'm doing alright now and am way more goal oriented than I have ever been but still. You only get those years once and I wish I made them count more.

Very bad at school.
well, most people would come to the conclusion that I'm 'stupid' because I don't do well and I get into a crap load of trouble. I think I people in maths or science will see me as stupid, people in like English in R.S will actually see I can be very intellectual. That's probably due to me only mostly liking the humanities because I can actually give my opinion and argue my point which I enjoy. Who gives a crap about Socatoa and all that? Not me, it's a sinking ship.
I know some people think I'm a dick, but some think I'm very nice, weird huh. I also know I'm pretty annoying. Thankfully, I'm not a 'loner' as you like to put it. (surprisingly)
Actually something that happened yesterday, we had with war memorial thing, which I'm all for, but after I expressed my feeling about a school with Muslims, Atheists (like myself) being forced to sing Christian hymns, saying stuff that they don't believe, then everyone gave me crap for it, like, I'm not disrespecting anyone, it's just the fact of the matter and it's true, nothing to do whith the people who died.
so yeah, often shares different thoughts from everyone else really.

I was shy but still hung around a group of people during lunch but I never had friends that I hung outside of school, I did my own thing and didn't follow the leader.

I'm in between on the majority of things. I'm a pretty big nerd yet I'm outgoing so I have alot of friends. I'm not the smartest kid yet my grades are very good. I basically can care less what people think/say so I'm just a hodgepodge of stereotypes hahaha.

Well, in my first school I got on with pretty much every group in my year and had a lot of friends but that's sort of changed since I moved.

I was a football player for four years of high school. I guess that would make me a jock.

I never fit any of those typical stereotypes. I had a small group of friends and mostly kept to myself. I always had a sarcastic smart mouth and still do. Always have, always will. I also never started any problems with anyone in high school but if they started with me I never backed down from a fight. I always stood up for myself.
Also, I loved to play all types of sports and my favorite subjects were English and History.

Uhhh, Year 8 I was loud and got along with everyone. Year 9 I kinda quieted down. Year 10 back to being loud and getting along with everyone. Year 11 quieted down again, not sure why. Year 12, last year had few lessons. Just focused on having a good time. Due to having so few lessons, I often watched ROH, Impact and some WWE why others were doing work. I particularly enjoyed that.

I can't fit myself into one group. I wasn't preppy, but I dressed nice. I wasn't in sports but that was more to do with lack of physical ability to play than it was with lack of interest. I was in band in Jr. High but by high school had lost my interest in that. I wasn't a whiz kid but I passed. I could have done more if I'd applied myself.
As far as friends, for the most part, if you were nice to me I was nice to you. My closest group of friends were basically like me, but you could also catch me hanging out with the cheerleaders and popular kids.

You don't think good friends exist? what a sad way of thinking. I agree it's very sad. I believe in acquaintances, and in "friends" but I've never seen someone I considered a good friend. As a kid I had what I considered to be good friends but as you grow older you grow apart. It just happens. Then you get friends in HS and in college and again, those are just momentary friends. You might keep in touch but you dont really speak as often as you did in school. Then you have work place friends..... im at work to make money not so much to make friends. Although the friend I talk to most these days is an ex coworker. I just feel the term GOOD FRIEND is an unneeded label, why not just leave it at friend? It's like saying you had a Super Fantastic Nice day, why all the additional adjectives? Im speaking from personal experiences, maybe you've had better personal bonds with people?

Weirdly enough, I was better known at other high schools than my own.
