Were you "popular" in grade school, and which "crowd" were you in?

Jocks?
Nerds?
Stoners?
Other?

I realize this is a stupid and trivial thread subject but I hope to receive some serious responses.

Popular adjacent…I never thought of myself that way, but I’ve been told by others they did. I was friends with the ones I would consider popular.

I was the leader of the average non-cool kids. I was probably the best athlete in the school in 5th and 6th grade and we would usually beat the cool kids in touch football and stuff. I viewed myself as a champion of the underdog.

Also, I was very easy going back then and liked by all groups. I was Ferris.

I don’t remember there being any real delineation between crowds in highschool. Sure, there were some outcasts but like 80% of my class was made up of a bunch of different cliques that all kinda intermingled with one another.

Not top level popular but got along with (almost) everyone.


We weren't big enough to have all those different crowds.

I was loved by the Jocks, Nerds, and Stoners. They thought I was a righteous dude.

I was a Greaser. Usually slept in the park on an old car bench next to a fire in an old 55-gallon drum until my main man stabbed this prick with a switchblade and bled him out good.

I was right in the middle and accepted by nerds and jocks alike.

My school was too small to have cliques like that. It was redneck and non redneck. There were jock rednecks, nerd rednecks etc. And vice versa. Of course the black kids had their own thing going. There wasn't much racial hostility but also not much fraternizing.

No, I was not popular at all. I didn't get popular until I was in college.

Considering the average age of the board, you should probably add 90’s era church youth group kid.

Da da down with the Dc Talk.
