I kept to myself mostly. Didn’t like anyone in the town I was in, bunch of preppy trust fund kids. Cleveland is a shite hole. Got along fine with people, couldn’t wait to leave. Walked in graduation, car was already packed and I left to New Orleans about 10 minutes after while all those shitheads we’re taking pictures.

I was a jock, a nerd, and I guess a bit of a preppy.

I played sports, had a 4.3 GPA, and was in a bunch of clubs.

I was the quiet, shy, skinny kid. I kept to myself and rarely went "out". I seemed to always be working, fishing, hunting, or some other activity that I found more important than HS parties. I'm pretty sure that I never went to an after school function all the way through HS. Imagine my surprise when I was voted "most popular" and "most likely to succeed".

I tried to make it through with no one noticing me, but no....instead I got my picture plastered on the yearbook in full page photos.

I was a lot of things, but the one/two words that describes me was class clown. I took being the funniest kid in school very seriously.

This story sums me up well. Some pretty girl had a huge crush on me. She invited me to prom. The day of, I ditch her to play video games. I still feel bad about that. Besides sports, I was an incel (but apparently by choice)

I was the Audio/Video nerd. I set up projectors, mics, lighting in school productions and all that jazz. We even had a rudimentary TV studio.

I still help with sound and lighting at my church these days.

I was kind of a mix. I wasn't a genuine nerd, the kind that you envision with a pocket protector in the Math Club, but I was into some nerd-ish things, but not the gamut. For instance, I read a lot of classic sci-fi in high school (Frank Herbert, Arthur C. Clarke, etc), but I was never into things like Dungeons and Dragons. I collected comic books, but didn't go to conventions or dress up ("cosplay" they now call it).

I was into metal, but my hair wasn't especially long. I played drums both in the school band in and garage bands. My crowd wasn't into drugs like pot or pills, but we were always on the hunt for a beer. I was BIG into going to rock concerts back in school, all of them metal or classic rock. So picture a guy with an Iron Maiden t-shirt and his face in a book (usually military history or classic sci-fi) and you've pretty much got me.

I was a combination jock and pothead. Our head football coach called anyone who smoked weed a bird He was a strange dude. He also told our girlfriends to not have sex with us before games on game day

I was a jock who dressed like a preppy and hung out with metal heads and my best friend was a nerdy geek who got me through h.s. and LSU

Pretty average kid that played sports, made good grades, but wasn’t super popular. I also made fun of a bunch of kids, and was quite the a-hole at times, unfortunately. I’ve done my best to try to repair those relationships since then. I hope my kids turn out better than I was at that age.

I sat in the corner for 4 years, plotting my revenge. Too shy to talk and too consumed with rage to care to change.

The school is no more. I won.

The wrestler. Kept to myself, focused on my training and nutrition. Didn't have a large friend base and still don't.

I guess I was kind of like Pink from Dazed and Confused in that I kind of hung out and got along with almost all the different social subgroups. My best friend transferred to a private school after Christmas break our freshmen year so other than a couple of other friends I had since preschool and kindergarten most of my buddies were upperclassmen or in college.
