I was the Introverted stoner bookworm that only about 5 people knew.
I shaved my head in a random act of boredom one night in my junior year, which caused fleeting notoriety, and I was known for a month or so as "the bald chick".

ChileanGhostPrepper: intelligent comment below: And 1984 was not good music.

Stop it. Popular music is popular for a reason. You think you're the only one with a valid opinion, hipster?

Popular music is popular because corporations put songs on the radio and morons like writers at Rolling Stone list idiotic "top X" lists and you go buy the album. Don't point to a list that rates Van Halen with Michael Jackson as proof of anything.

In terms of music quality, Van Halen are far down the list and not even listed in most top 50 best songs of all time.

Mine too, eventually, but that album didn't come out until after high school for me.

As for the Van Halen, well, I was an underachiever.

Well Armed Sheep		2012-06-03 02:46:53 AM

Well, I don't rightly know wtf I was. I was smart, but I was a problem student, mostly out of boredom or because a teacher was talking about something they didn't really understand. I took AP classes and did well, but I never took a foreign language (latin doesn't count and I learned Spanish as a kid and in kitchens) I worked at night, first at the grocery store, then at CATV (best job ever). Played role playing games online and in person, tabletop and LARP. I smoked pot but not cigarettes, ate acid and had long hair, wore different sorts of clothing, from pajamas to overalls, leather jackets, tye dyes, obnoxiously colored suits mismatched from the goodwill, jeans, t-shirts. Listened to punk, industrial, metal, techno (back when that's what we called all that stuff), they might be giants, soul, oldies or anything else that made it onto my computer. I hung out with a bunch of clowns and punks and hippies and nerds. And everybody else too, really, when it came up.
I was over six feet tall halfway through my first year (and grew up in a rougher place than there, where I actually did get bullied and had to fight.) Some folks had a problem with me because they thought I had teh ghey. Sometimes there were problems. I usually got suspended for a while because I refused to shake hands and apologize to the homophobe just because he lost.
I was dating a college girl through most of HS, that I met at a LARP. She dumped me about a week before I graduated.

So, a gutterpunk nerd?

My high school. Maybe 60% Jewish in suburban Detroit, myself one of them. Lots of my classmates went on to be doctors and lawyers and all that. I was just a B student who studied business in college and ended up teaching. Unexpectedly given my chunky and uncoordinated past, I joined the swim team, and was a low-level jock. I was also a cellist in the school orchestra, and in the bridge club.

Stoner - the stoners were the only social group I qualified for (and even that was a close call).

I got A's on pretty much every test I ever took, but never turned in homework or did assigned projects (out of principle) so I ended up near the bottom of the class.
I once had a report card that read:

A
C
I
D
...which, by coincidence, I had actually done in school that term (something I would NOT recommend).

RibbyK: For the record, typical 1960s Hippies were mature, annoying, smelly, idealistic, smart and expressive. They didn't work, had long hair, wealthier-than-normal parents access to beer and the best dope. At the 1968 Democratic Convention, for example, they'd crap into paper lunch bags and drop them from hotel rooms onto Chicago cops. This was considered a necessary protest to the Viet Nam War.

I don't even know. I hated school. I was very into everything--computers, sports, band, etc. I was friends or friendly with virtually everyone. However, I was indescribably (the best word for it looking back) miserable. It became glaringly obvious later in life that I had been fighting against a substantial, lifelong, but completely overlooked, anxiety disorder. If I knew then what I know now I would have sought help and probably ended up with a far less hellishly surreal school experience.

Mine was issued to me - first year they asked for it back at the end of the school year, but after that they just let me keep it over the summer. It was a "V" key (all the keys were lettered) and had DO NOT COPY stamped in the side of it. I'm sorry to say I rarely abused the privilege.

Spaced Lion		2012-06-03 03:49:42 AM

I was myself, because I went to the best high school ever.

On the off chance anyone actually gives a shiat, I shall elaborate. I went to a charter school in a small town that had about 100-120 kids total at any given time. Cliques were heavily frowned upon, because that's what the assholes at everybody's old school did, and fark those people. There were no jocks because the only sports teams we had were girls' volleyball, boys' track, and golf. It was mostly artists, musicians, and geeks. Most of the decisions that impact the school are made by the students through the Justice Board (which is in charge of discipline) and the Student Achievement Committee (which organizes fundraisers, school events, and what have you).

In retrospect, I suppose you could say I was the "school spirit" guy because I've always been heavily involved with the school. I worked in the library cataloguing books the summer after my sophomore year. I helped design the school's logo while I was dating the artist they commissioned to do it. I became the youngest substitute teacher on record there when the yoga teacher got cancer halfway through my junior year, and have returned to sub classes on several occasions. After I graduated, I served on the school board for 2 years as the alumni representative. I've given several guest lectures at assemblies in the last couple years. Et cetera, et cetera.

Re: Columbine...When I was in high school I had easy access to a number of hunting rifles if it had ever actually occurred to me to shoot my tormentors.

Nearly every man & boy in the neighborhood hunted so there were generally a minimum of two hunting rifles in every garage, plus shells. Unless they were going away for an extended period of time, most people in the neighborhood didn't lock their doors & most garages didn't have any locks at all. If they did they likely weren't locked.

Excluding the ~2 year timeframe where being friends with the wrong person resulted in literally 1/2 the school trying to fight me? I was friendly with pretty much everyone, and was left alone (regarding the above partly) after it was realized that the following items were true:
1: If I lost my temper, get the hell away from me.
I put a kid into his locker while 2 administrators were trying to restrain me (they saw it starting and knew what was going to happen when I got fed up).
I put my arm through a wall (yes my arm), after being kicked out of class. I shrugged, said "shiat! I already know where to go." and headed to the principals office.
2: I was smart enough to get straight A's but didnt care enough to try.
3: I knew the rules better than the administration did, and they knew it.
4: It was easier to pass/graduate me, knowing I would never return then it was to have me come back.
5: I "knew a guy" who could get pretty much whatever you were after.
6: The school facilities folks loved me, and never cared when I was "assigned" to work with them because they knew I would bust ass for them.
7: Trying to knock me out would only result in making me dizzy and angry. It would never succeed in actually knocking me out.

I actively tried to avoid fighting anyone in Highschool because I knew how bad my temper was, I did not want to end up putting someone into the hospital (again ((short version, he didnt get the hint after the first 3 fights he lost to me))) because they pushed me just a bit too far. The couple times I was pushed into a situation where that might happen, I usually got the other side bored or laughed at by my running commentary on their lack of power or fighting ability. The fact that I RARELY fought back was the main reason that the school system didnt go after me more than they did. I dont know what the term would be for me to be honest. In today's climate, I would have been kicked out for a litany of zero tolerance BS.

yeah, the one we copied had that on one side, M on the other; what happened was, some 3rd party group was using our stage to perform a play, and on the night of the play, the maintenance men had left the front gate locked; the dude lived half a block from the school so we sent our best rep (someone who'd graduated last year) to get a key; maint guy gave him his whole keyring -- probably 40 keys, holding one particular one -- and he drove down to Channel -- remember those? -- to have it copied after opening the front gates

adragontattoo: I actively tried to avoid fighting anyone in Highschool because I knew how bad my temper was, I did not want to end up putting someone into the hospital

Some meathead confronted me when I was walking up the back stairs after buying a Pepsi out of a caf vending machine one Saturday morning (behind weight room/locker room, below north back-stage exit):

"I heard you like "[redacted]" (some ugly redhead in my AP calc class)
"(redacted)? What?! f*ck no, that b*tch is ugly!" (was his gf at the time)

He lunges at me; me being on the 3rd or 4th stair (and 100lbs lighter) i kick him in his f*cking chest (footballer) and turn to rush up the stairs, away from half a dozen footballers behind him, I yell [REDACTED]!, panic!" and my buddy comes running out of the tool room as I get to the top, crow bar in hand, by the flat end.

Later that week:
Dean: "Well since you started it, i can give you both a week's detention or neither of you."

I went to a very catholic school since kindgerdarten. Up until I was 14. This was an Opus Dei HS mind you in the middle of nowhere in south america.

Pretty much couldn't take it anymore, for reasons I'll not say but you might make a guess. Switched to another school, another catholic school (there really isn't any other type down there) where I was the introvert who didn't want to socialize with anyone (can you blame?). I wasn't even in the yearbook (asked not to be in it).

Then university came along and maybe it was the freedom of it being very secular (and no priest nearby) that I flourished and became an extremely popular guy, was even elected president of the student council of the university (25k+ students).
