Multi-sport jock, slut, so-so student except for AP English and French which I loved, had friends in all groups which kept me pretty safe. Had a redneck older brother so if I needed to call in some back up, he knew who to call. Came in handy.

I was in the 'please let these 4 years end quicker so I never have to see any of you ever again' club

groppet		2012-06-03 08:57:20 AM

I was weird. I didnt fit in many groups I had friends but nobody real close. I hung out with my older brother and his friends, they were the AP stoners. And by default they thought I was a stoner. I was always tired. My brother told the school dealers to never give me anything, so I was clean all through high school. The girls that liked in my class didnt talk to me because they though I was a snob, I was just shy. By the time I was a senior I was pretty much alone. I was an underachieving "genius", but I sucked in math.

bonobo73: Interesting -- just heard in the news about a kid who's developed a revolutionary test for pancreatic cancer at age 15.

Yeah, about that. It was totally misleading PR. 90% accurate sucks because there are way way too many false positive tests.
Telling 1 in 10 people they have cancer, when in fact it's more like 1 in 10,0000, turns out to be a bad thing.

It's really easy to generate a test like that but it usually doesn't get blown up by irresponsible press agents.

My high school was so small that we had to double and triple up. I was a jock, a stoner and a goatroper. We didn't even have nerds. There were only 69 students, and my graduating class was the largest my school ever produced, at 23. We had an 8-1 student/teacher ratio. I used to ride the bus for two hours (I was first on, and last off), each way, because we drew our students from such a large area.

Our boy's basketball team lost 106 consecutive games (a state record), but our girl's basketball team was Northern California Small Schools champion. They went undefeated three years in a row. The same teacher coached both teams. I lettered in football and baseball three years. We only had 26 girls in the entire school, but 24 of them were awfully damned good looking. Seriously, we boys had amazing luck as far as something to distract us from studying.

High school was mostly weed, keggers, good grades, sex, and D&D. It was a blast.

wait a minute SEX AND D&D. something doesn't smell right.

Ha ha ha. Couple of lasses I used to play D&D with in HS. They loved being hobbits or elves. Tolkien fans.

CallMeGomer		2012-06-03 09:27:59 AM

Enter the way, wayback machine. I was in a large school in a time when high schools had tenth through twelfth. My sophomore year I was picked on by about four guys. Just four jerks, but on a daily basis they would search me out to pound on me. Usually just my arms and chest. Got hit so many times my arms stopped bruising. I wasn't a total pussy, I actually dated a lot, but those guys hated me for some reason. That summer I sent off for a Charles Atlas course. (told you to go way back!) I used water filled plastic jugs for weights. My arms went from 0 to 12" and my chest to 36". (I only weighed 125 and 5'5" at the time). First day of school those guys looked me up. One guy took a swing at me and I hit him hard in the middle of the chest; knocked the breath out of him and his ass was on the floor. Never bothered again. One of the best days in my young life.

Started the video game club.
Was (and still) a video game geek, and was starting to get into anime/manga.
One of my friends got me into metal, and now getting into j-rock.
Also got shipped with one of my best friends. (female, and cubby...but the right kind. We were also prom king/queen because everybody in my school wanted us to date.)
Played soccer for one year.

bsteiny		2012-06-03 09:38:52 AM

Well, may as well add to the Wall O' Text here...

I was a shy nerdy kid though much of high school, but looking back I was probably also something of a snob, just didn't realize it at the time.

I was pretty smart and not popular. Finished in the top 10 of my class, never worked hard in school ever. I never asked questions because I thought since I was a "smart kid" that I should know everything already. I (silently) judged the "slutty" girls, the partyers and their friends (basically the popular kids), and really only talked to a small circle of kids because part of me wouldn't know what to talk about and the other part of me thought I was better than them. I was a band girl, I was pretty good in vocal stuff, and a terrible athlete although I kept going out for sports even though I was too skinny, slow and weak, not to mention terribly un-coordinated.

By senior year, we all pretty much got along and were friends with whomever. Mostly I hung out with the same kids because we were in all the same AP classes together. We were still smart, but along with that had come some athletic/academic/fine arts successes so as a group we were pretty well-liked and well known.

So, time has given me some perspective...but I still can't make conversation easily, thus lurking on Fark.

Anyhow, I was friends with your type. I remember a couple of boys in my circle of friends got in trouble for wearing black jackets the week after Columbine. It was April - in Texas. They deserved it.

I did. He got my v-card.

I looked at your profile, (that's an awesome pic, BTW) and had to laugh at your comment about how you knew you belonged on FARK, because it brought back a cool memory. You mentioned being a florist. I used to work in the warehouse at one of the largest bulb farms in America. We specialized in lilies, daffodils, irises and tulips. Over 65 million stems annually. Anyway, I was sweet on a girl that worked on a sorting line, so I sent her a dozen roses anonymously-at the bulb farm. The one flower we didn't grow. It was funny to see the florist carrying a dozen roses into a warehouse that had hundreds of thousands of flowers already. Oh, and it worked! We dated for many years, until she met a millionaire, and lived happily ever after.

Played on the hockey team all four years at high school eons ago, ran track as well. Did student council, FBLA, fair amount of volunteer work, got awesome grades (top 10 of 120, small school) and an off the charts SAT. Also devoured books, and played a lot of AD&D.

Utterly shy, but had to play in various social circles in high school as a result of all these various activities. Always thought at the time all that exposure that would cure the "shy." Nope. Anti-social as ever, still today. Still play hockey, though. Should come as no surprise that I'm a goalie.

Captain of the math team. Led the school in scoring all four years on the team. Also lettered in track and soccer. Brazenly took my open book/note/calculator Chemistry final with nothing but a black ink pen and set the curve. Never got drunk or laid until college.

intelligent comment below: 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.

adragontattoo: 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.

Are you green?

/"the dead know one thing: it is better to be alive"

Really? You're going that route? I was in the Navy. I have a check being deposited the first business day of every month for the rest of my life and I pay less for medical and dental each month than you do. Everyone I know that died was an accident or suicide. So if that's the best you can come up with, you have some work to do. I still win.

Interesting -- just heard in the news about a kid who's developed a revolutionary test for pancreatic cancer at age 15.

Now reading about how proud a Farker is of sucking off the teat of government subsidy at an earlier age than his peers.

I'm pretty sure I know which one I consider a "winner."

Shut the fark up, asshole. That's not a government "subsidy." That's blood money the government damned well ought to pay--because he sure as fark gave up more than you'll ever understand (at least I hope you'll never understand) for it.

Yeah, I know I'm biting a troll's line. Got a cousin on full disability for PTSD. With assorted other little goodies in his goodie bag from Sarin exposure.

Never served, but one of the goodies in my goodie bag is PTSD from something else.

Used to be a longtime troll on the old internet. Steve Kangas. Prime example of a net.idiot back in Usenet days when it was small enough for infamy to spread like that. Thought everything bad in the world was all part of a conspiracy by Richard Mellon Scaife. Steve was a thoroughly dedicated troll--you might say he devoted his life to it. And he ended up shooting himself in Richard Mellon Scaife's executive restroom when he apparently drove there to try to kill the object of his obsession and that's as close as he could get to him.

Nope, they don't make trolls and net.idiots like they used to. No big red self-destruct button. [sigh] Just go play in traffic.

Jixa		2012-06-03 12:35:05 PM

I moved around A LOT when I was in school. 7 elementary schools, 3 jr. high/middle schools, and 2 high schools. I was always the outsider, the geek, the wall flower, the ugly military brat. My home life was chaotic as well, so between the shunning at school and the instability at home and living in a combat zone for 3 years, I was pretty much a basket case with PTSD, as well. After years of shiatty treatment and being shot down, it kinda makes you bitter and reluctant to make friends, or even interact with people in general. (Thanks to the anonymity of the internet, I can get my opinions out without being face-to-face with anyone, but we didn't have it back then.)
One year of middle school and one year of high school was in the city I currently live in. When we first moved back here, I was stupid enough to try and make contact with my old friends. Being a social recluse it took a hell of a lot of courage to walk up to a person I used to know and say "Hi, remember me!" :) I didn't expect everyone I knew back then to remember me but, this was a person whom I had spent a lot of time with. She was a person that I had considered a "best friend". We were in the same church, scout troop, a few classes together, and had been on sleepovers, camp-outs, and family BBQs. After only 3 years, she had no idea who I was, she didn't remember me at all. It was humiliating, embarrassing, and showed me just how inconsequential my friendship was to her, when her friendship was like a priceless treasure to me.(take that, fragile psyche!).

That was the first and last time I ever tried to get in contact with my past. Every once in a while, I see someone I knew from school. I see them and remember them but no one remembers me. fark them!

Charlie Freak		2012-06-03 12:46:21 PM

Band geek. Was with the honors kids at first, but was always very distracted in class, especially if I lost interest in the subject or got behind in the subject matter at all. In jr. high my nickname was "stoner" because my ability to stare off into space during class. By sophomore year of high school the fact I never turned in homework and my inability to fudge my way through honors-class tests meant I was sent back to regular classes.

My parents always made excuses for me like I was too smart for (always scored in the 99th percentile on standardized tests) or just bored with school, but truth was I was lazy, could weasel out of anything, and there were no real consequences for poor performance. Sure, they withheld me getting my license until I was 18, but that just meant I spent all my time with my GF's family throughout HS.

I was very naive about my nerdiness and never really let it bother me, I even felt superior to people who didn't just intuitively "get things" (especially in the physical sciences (and probably still do to an extent, though I've learned never to underestimate people)). Tough guys, etc. mostly left me alone because I was 6'4" by senior year and weighed a good 260+.

Though I was fairly coordinated and had a hell of an arm, asthma kept me from being overly jocktacular, much to my father's chagrin. My only saving grace in HS was band, 'cause I could rock that shiat. Opportunity everywhere, and the only place where I was truly accepted by peers and teachers alike, and even held high (oh, you guys had a few solos - I had every solo).

College was a different story altogether - lost about 60 lbs and girls started paying attention, but I was in a Christian phase and was a "nice guy" so I didn't get any until well into college. But academically it was a world of difference. I was able to take classes that I enjoyed and could drop the boring ones - GPA was not an issue at all.

9/11 really changed my outlook on everything: people, career, religion, politics, everything. It was a real wakeup call that things were not as they seemed. It made me very cyncical and that's why I'm here, I guess.

Band geek, but I didn't really fit in. It was a competition band and even though I tried, I was never a terrific player.

Math team geek and quiz bowl geek, but not quite the front of the line.

Head case with psycho head case boyfriend.

Floated between the band geeks, the preppies, and the smokers/stoners.

My whole family is eccentric. The members of my family that the family considers eccentric are bughouse nuts---just "eccentric" compared to a real warped baseline. Didn't even start getting treated until my junior year.

We were kind of, "Most likely to end in a horrible, bloody, gruesome murder/suicide."

I'm only here and alive to talk about it through blind chance, because the other ones like me (about 1 in 5 is the best current research guestimate just on my risk, not his) who got a bad roll of those same dice are six feet under.

It just basically sucked. I'm glad I graduated: a) alive, b) with good enough grades and test scores to get into a decent college, c) had the sense to leave town and get away from the psycho who was hurting me.

There were bright spots in high school, and plenty of them. Overall, it had a good beat and I could dance to it.

AsprinBurn		2012-06-03 01:23:41 PM

I was the kid who only did 6 months of high school and worked at McDonalds instead.

That may not seem so great, but I had money, a cool car, and dates. A couple years later I aced my GED without a second of study (even a

could pass that thing.) A couple years after that, I worked my way through college and earned a BS of computer science. Sure, I was a couple years behind everyone else, but I had a blast and half the loan burden of my peers.

You were a jock? Yeah, that's cool too.
