what where you like in High School and are

[Ariel Mae]

I was much shyer in high school. I'm fare more social now, than ever.

Pretty much the same but much more reserved.

In HS, I was the smart one that was friends with whomever needed help with school work, friends with all the guys at school and only friends with a few girls. My boyfriend went to another HS across town. I was quiet but in reality I was the "I never knew you did that" girl.

Today I am married, loyal, and very protective of my family. Don't screw with them....

I was shy in high school until I got to know people. I went to 8 different grade schools and 4 different high schools. I was constantly put in new environments and had to make new friends.

I got good grades and also had a lot of fun. I used some recreational drugs, but never got caught because my parents would not have believed it in a million years. I liked everyone. The nerds, the jocks, the goths, whoever. It didn't matter to me. I liked people for who they were. I have very fond memories of high school.

I am still a bit shy now, but I can force myself to look sociable. I will never use an illegal drug or do something impulsive like I did in high school. I still like to have fun, but I am a lot more responsible now.

I was in HS in the 70's. We had the nerds, the jocks, the brains, the band and the smoker's (we had a smoking area and the last bunch was anyone who hung out at the "smoking tree"). I was one of the "smokers" didn't smoke at the time but hung out there and thought we were all the "coolest" but had friends in every group.

I dressed a bit like Chrissy on 3's company on some days (Some of her hair-dos and tight legged jeans with stiletto hills) and like a hippie on other days (straight, long hair; bell-bottom jeans and a peasant blouse, sometimes a headband to top it off).

Very out-going, a big flirt and had a lot of fun. I still like to have fun but am much less the flirt.

I know these threads are meant for the popular kids, but what the heck. I didn't talk to anyone in in high school. I was very shy and quiet.Scared of everyone. Then one day I just busted out became a horrendous flirt and just started loving life and everyone in it, I think that's is some how linked to the day I moved out of my parents house

not really sure how you got that idea

Pretty much the same but much more reserved.

yeah right....I spent a weekend with you

 

[tink_n_pooh]

I was one of the smart kids but I was friends with all a variety of different people, I didn't really fit into a clique at all and I liked it that way, still do. I was friends with more people older than me or younger than me than those in my class, still the same way. I was also a big flirt and I was always dating someone, I remember one of the counselors at the school saying I was "married" as I was always in some sort of serious high school relationship. When I was dating someone (which didn't happen until college and after) I was a big flirt Now I'm happily married and a little more set in my skin but otherwise the same

I was a varsity cheerleader, played the flute in the band, sang in A Capella Choir, sang in SEMSBA and District. I loved being in the A Capella Musicals. We performed Guys and Dolls, Bye Bye Birdie and The Micado. My fondest memories are the times spent in the auditorium during rehersals.

I was as quiet as a mouse until I made the cheerleading squad my freshman year. I was friendly with pretty much everyone. My best friends were really good students. Me.not so much.

Now I am an extrovert. I talk to everyone. I have a knack for making people feel comfortable. I work in a doctor's office and I am good at my job. Being an extovert comes in handy.

 

[raysnkaysmom]

Hmm... I was skinny and flat chested.
Now, not so skinny, still flat chested...

I'd say I was naive when it came to boys and the 'bad' things in life, so I was a good kid . My 3 best friends were voted Class Clown, Best Dressed, and Biggest Flirt. I was voted nothing...lol. I was casual friends with alot of people, but only had a couple close friends....

I'm pretty much the same now. Definitely not as naive, and a bit more outgoing.

 

[PlainJane]

I was a dancer/cheerleader/actor. I dated a basketball player. However, I was far from popular. I had friends, but I was shy, and a lot of people mistook that for being stuck up. I was also very studious.

I'm only one year into college, but I'm a lot different now. I made the change around Jr. year of HS, but it was to late for it to really matter then. I'm a lot more outgoing now. I'm still extremely studious.

p.s. For those of you who have seen me say I was home schooled, I was. We still had sports teams and co-ops.

Sorry, thinking of Chrissy on 3's company made me . I graduated in '83. It was a time of big hair but, of course, I didn't do big hair. I wore boys size 27 Levi bluejeans (and could take them off w/o undoing them--I had a 22" waist! I think I was "sagging" before it was popular, ) and had a surf shop tee-shirt from every surf shop I was ever in and wore them or an Izod polo every day! It really bothered my mom. She always said that people would think I didn't have anything else to wear. But, I was comfy.

I am such a fan of homeschooling!!

I was outgoung, and had a core group of best friends in HS- equal number of boys and girls, probably 10 to 12 of us. We did everything together. We were in the "gifted" classes, did Quiz Bowl and Debate Team, and most of us were involved in Student Govt and Drama Club. If jocks and cheerleaders were the "A" group, we were probably on the "B" or "C" list. Mostly everyone knew us and though we were OK, but we weren't super-popular or anything.

We didn't do drugs or drink to speak of, and we weren't the "sleep around" types- also none of us dated anyone seriously in HS. Several of my guy friends were gay (either out in HS or shortly afterward)- and several were very NOT-gay! I guess we were the tolerant ones at my rather redneck southern school- some called us the "Artsy-Fartsys".

Not too much has changed- I'm still outgoing and involved in lots of "stuff". The one area that I'd like to be more like my old HS self - friends. I seem to have fewer friends now. It's just harder, since as adults we are so much busier with kids, work, etc. I miss having a big group of diverse folks to hang out with.

 

[GothTink]

I was probably the most despised, most picked on kid in school. My self-esteem was terribly low and I had virtually no friends.

Life is much different, much better now.

I graduated in '81! Don't be sorry; it make me laugh too! I was looking at some old pics the other day--cannot believe my mother let me leave the house like that! The bell-bottoms were my favorite and they were always 3 inches too long. They had to come to the bottom of those shoes we wore and to the bottom of my roller skates. (seems it was some kind of major crime if the bottom of your shoes, skates or whatever was on your feet showed! ) Mom's only beef was that she paid all that money for those jeans and then I walked on the bottom of them and it didn't take long till the hem was shredded (which is NOT a good thing with roller skates!).

In HS, I was pretty outgoing, willing to hang with any clique, quite laid-back since I knew I was smart enough to get to university. Also, skinny, dancer-type, well-dressed and fairly confident.

Unfortunately, I forgot myself for a couple of decades -- let myself go, forgot my friends, really became somebody I didn't respect or like -- too much time doing everything for everybody else in my family.

Just now rediscovering who I was by taking dance again and caring about ME for a change. I was pretty cool in HS, and maybe that person is still inside me somewhere.

I was extremely shy. I was in the drama club but liked to be in the background. I also played softball. I had few friends and was extremely insecure. I also got teased by the boys a lot. I found out many years later that they were afraid to talk to me because I was so shy. I am still very shy and prefer to sit in a corner and people watch. I recently went to my HS reunion and was shocked at how many people remembered me and were happy that I came. I even had a teacher there who remembered me for being a good kid most of the time. I have come out of my shell a little as I have gotten older.

 

[sPaRkLeSpAz]

I was well liked by everyone, but I was also painfully shy. I'm not so shy anymore, but I still sometimes have my moments, lol.
