What were you in High School?

I was and still am a Jack of All Trades, I fit into all the different groups, Jocks, Stoners, Geeks and so forth. I had groups of friends in all of them and pretty much got along with everyone, my art helped with that. 😉

Thanks for being so specific.

You're welcome. 313

I was an artsy guy. Drama, Music, Visual Arts... everything like that. Something of a "Social Floater," as TPS so eloquently put it.

Same as me. I never went all out to impress one particular group, more one type of person. If I liked them, no matter what they were into, I tried to befriend them ✅

I would expect something like that from you too, Sy.

You seem like the kind of person that would not be judgemental

Thanks... that's sweet of you. I also think it had a lot to do with the insecurities I had about myself throughout school. I knew I was academic but the 'popular' students generally weren't, you know? So I figured I'd forge my own path or something. Keep doing what I did best, learning, and hopefully make some friends along the way. In hindsight, the friends I did make at the time were of the genuine and long-lasting persuasion, which I obviously wouldn't change 🙂

sometimes i wonder if it's the area or people.
I've been in situation where everyone with in that group of peers was close, and situations where there has been that great divide. I still don't know how it works, but it's certainly interesting to note. Also after the whole school thing ended, i found that people I didn't talk much to in school started talking to me more and same goes with others. Quite strange but interesting.

Same here, I've met a few people I used to go to school with on MySpace and we're friends, whereas at school it was different.

Of course, if you are currently in high school, then please present-tense this and tell us what you ARE.

Were you a jock? A science geek? A prep? A punk? A stoner? ... and etc.

I was a punk.


i wasnt exactly a loner, but i never stuck to a certain group. i had white friends, black friends, hispanic friends, etc;......

Interesting that you would bring racism into this thread, which really has nothing to do with racism.

I am looking at your post with a grimaced expression now. 😕

I was kind of a class clown... but I never really meant to be funny.

How profound. 😐 A rather socratic response...

Any other wisdom you want to spill out for us while you are here, Professor Philosophy?
