What type of kid were you in school?

Bemused,nonplussed,undisturbed, detached and engaged at the same time.

Well, at my first school, from reception to year 2, I spent the entire time hanging around the year 7s, because everyone my age was dumb as shit and couldn’t construct a sentence. Let’s say A, B and F.

New school, from year 3 to year 9, too much happened to destroy my life, I can’t really summarise it. So let’s say B, F, G. BIG FRIENDLY GIANT! WOO!

Another school, year 10 and 11: B, D, B, D, F, B, D. Before finally becoming Aish after leaving. Ouch, really.

And my current school: Aish, B, B, B, Fish heh. And thats about it.

Well, usually C or E.

I was well behaved, never a “Goody two shoes”. There’s quite a big difference.
And I was generally a loner.

I don’t exactly fit any of those choices in my mind, because I am rarely extreme about anything. I was well behaved, but not a goody too shoes. I knew everyone, but was not really in a group.

I mostly hung out with my friends who lived near me after school when I was younger, and then as we got older many of them started to party and I didn’t, so I kind of fell out that “group.” I still saw them after school, but did not go out with them much as we became teens and started to go out on weekends.

I actually started working at the age of 14 and went out with my work friends after work. They all didn’t drink, didn’t smoke, didn’t toke, but they were not nerds by any stretch. They were pretty and handsome and we worked for Merry-go-round which was a jeans store when Jordache were very cool.

In-between 10th and 11th grade I started seriously dating a guy and so I was with him all of the time.

As far as school work I was fairly lazy, many times not cracking a book. I had about a B average. I enjoyed learning the subjects I was interested in, I just didn’t want to work hard at it.

I never gave teachers a hard time.

F and G

All except B and H.

Let’s just say my main goal in school was to stay under the radar.

E mostly, but I also had a rebellious streak that sometimes got me in trouble. Inside I actually detested school, but I always did well surprisingly. It was “goody two shoes” on the outside, but an “intellectually lazy” and freedom-loving person on the inside.

ABCDEFG I was never a bully.

In elementary school, I was the one who was always talking. The teacher put tape on my mouth. Now, my husband says he can’t get me to talk.

I was a very shy, studious, well behaved band nerd until I hooked up with the stoners my sophomore year. I went from being an A student to a C. I was still well behaved, I just skipped school quite a bit and failed to turn work in.

You know Rachel Berry from Glee… I was her, minus the singing and dancing.

I was the “goth” kid.

All photo evidence has since been destroyed.

I had a few choice friends. Mostly hung out with stoners. Hated jocks and occasionally crossed path with nerds who got high. Acted out fiercely against authority.

I was the closeted lesbian who dated the fellows and hung out with the punks, metalheads/stoners.

I have to bond with @MRSHINYSHOES. I was always involved with clubs, student council, etc. And I found a way to cut first period every day for two years to go out for breakfast with my a standing committee of people who worked on events with me.

You need to add “I Countercultural” to the list

I would have hung out with Mr Shiny Shoes though if for nothing more than to remark that I was hangin’ with Mr Shiny Shoes.

@ccrow.. LOL, your post reminds of this quote by Red Skelton ” I haven’t spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don’t like to interrupt her”

<——I certainly would be bestest friends with Mr. Puppy Paws—

@SeventhSense Mr. Puppy Paws could lead me astray anytime

You can almost smell his puppy goodness
i would give his belly a razzberry….
<—-Overdosing on puppies…please call an ambulance—

The kind who refused to be defined by a single grouping of letter labels.

Just kidding. I wish I was that clever in high school. But I was clever – extremely so. I made A’s with no problem. The issue was that I got bored easily and decided making trouble/talking/skipping school were all more interesting options. And I had a tendency to make it all seem so enticing that others would get mixed up in these things with me. This probably wasn’t the best way to spend my high school years, but it was fun.

As a college student I’m much smarter about these things. Except the skipping. I still skip a lot; it’s a bad habit and I always regret it when I’m stuck trying to catch up on all my work.

But if I had to choose letters: B, C, D, & F. What a weird combination.

I didn’t get in trouble but wasn’t a goody two shoes. They gave Saturday detentions at my school and I never got one until my junior year when I purposely showed up to Spanish late 3 times so I could get a Saturday. I wanted to see what it was like. My parents were mad at me about it and it was a long hour. I never got another one. I had a lot of people I was friendly with but a girl and two guys that I was always with. We spent every minute we could together. We are life long friends. They all moved away but we talk all the time.

I didn’t get in trouble, I was good but not a goody-two-shoes, I was friends with everyone. I wouldn’t say I was popular, but I knew everyone, and everyone knew me. I wasn’t bullied (except for a couple of years in 2nd and 3rd grade but only minor cases). However, what if someone who was popular came to this question. Would they just say, “A I was popular”? would they actually say that, what about people looking back on their days would they admit that they were popular. Do popular kids in school these days who are popular, what do they think. I mean, all of the kids who aren’t popular, would obviously say “Oh I wish I was popular” (even if it meant not specifically being those particular popular kids) but really, what would the popular kids say now, what would they think, even if they didn’t turn their nose down on the others and were nice, still… Anyways, those are just some thoughts.

I guess I was a combination of B and E, with a bit of F thrown in there up until middle school. I wouldn’t say I was a “goody two shoes,” which implies a willingness to kiss ass. I was always very rule-conscious in school and hated to get into trouble or be singled out. I was also really shy, and didn’t usually have a friend at school until I was in 6th grade. We moved that year, and at my new middle school I found some great friendships that have lasted to this day.

By my junior and senior year of high school I wasn’t as shy, but still kept my straight A’s and didn’t get into trouble. My friends and I were not popular, but we were not picked on either.

Sometime around my sophomore or junior year of college I completely gave up on being shy, had no problem skipping classes when I knew it wouldn’t affect my grade, went out almost every night of the week, and basically made up for anything I missed out on by being so shy and well-behaved throughout high school. It was much more fun.

B, C, E

I was always special.

B, F and G. The G because I was noticeably “different” including being disabled. And the F because of G. I discovered the best way to not get hurt was to stay out of everyone’s way as much as possible.

I was a shy, fat kid, so I have to say G.
