I was pretty shy, awkward and reserved. I really regret looking back that i didn’t make an effort to deal with that social anxiety, because I think some of my classmates mistook it for me just being a rude unfriendly person.

I loved academics and was in all APs and I guess i fit some definitions of a nerd, but i also loved watching sports and doing outdoor stuff.

I was just kind of there. Had a small group of friends. Most people simply knew me as my sister’s twin.

I was really really bad at being a social person.

I honestly wasn’t in a clique in high school. I was just regular old me. For the most part, I pretty much got along with most everyone, regardless of their circles, all except the super popular who had their noses in the air and I wasn’t chasing that dream, so I guess I didn’t really fit in with them. Other than them though, I guess I was just a kid for all seasons.

I was just on the outside of the popular/jock group. I knew all of them, they knew me. But I wasn’t popular and didn’t go to many parties or dances.

I was a bit of a floater. I could hang with the preppies if I wanted but ate lunch with the nerds/geeks. What's the difference between nerd and geek now? In 9th grade I wore baggy cargo pants and dumb graphic t-shirts and played hacky sack and by 10th grade I was wearing polo shirts most days. I also quit band after the 9th grade because I didn't think it was 'cool' anymore. Or would make me 'cool' rather.

I was awkward as hell with my small group of close friends. Got along with everyone but was friends with only a few. Had a couple girlfriends from other schools but none from my own school.

I was a shy, preppy jock that got good grades.

I swam year round with practices in the morning and afternoon mon-fri and half a day on Saturday with Church on Sundays. I missed out on being in a clique.

My group of close friends (4 of us) were known as being the "smart" group, we weren't "geeks" or "nerds", but were more of smartasses and kinda assholes now that I think about it

My highschool wasn't very cliquey though. I had friends who were parts of most of the groups that you listed (we didn't really have metalheads, goths, or wallflowers).

ETA: I'm still really good friends (talk daily) with 5 guys from my graduating class, oddly enough none of them were part of my "core" 4 friends that I was really close with in high school. And only 3 of my close group now were close in high school.

Low end of the jocks. Was more on the houseparty end than the star athlete end.

The years I went to Thibodaux High there were big race fights the first few days each year. Taught me to keep a low profile; and it followed me throughout my high school days.
