Clique's in highschool

[molly bloom]

In primary school I hated teams sports so much, I was in the 'Addams Family plays soccer' group.

That Janis Ian song, 'At Seventeen', aptly describes the experience of being in the 'salon des refuses' for team sports.

In grammar school I was in the 'dangerous to know' clique- because they weren't certain I was gay, but they were sort of convinced. My dislike for team sports continued- when playing cricket I used deliberately to get myself out as soon as possible, so I could sit and read, and when fielding, always used to sit right out on the boundary, preferably near a bush or tree, so I could read in peace.

Hooray for the gym and weight training, no more win one for the House toss.

A cross between a jock and a nerd- a jerk or a nork.

Molly Bloom I thought you were married and spend your time at the bushes of Australia and the wild not gay.

I didn't belong to any clique for most time at high school, just hung out with a few good friends. OTOH, I hung out with a clique on weekends, with "friends" that weren't from school. The group dynamics were very gossipy, hypocritical and materialistic, so I didn't feel well there (but I didn't have much choice by then).

Towards the end of high school, I discovered the geek clique, and I felt great among them. I still have close friendships with quite a few of them.

I'm sure that's just the ouzo talking.

I'm not married, I don't live in the Bush, nor the Outback, nor the wild blue yonder. I live in Thessaloniki's twin city.

My mistake then.
I doubt it's Thessaloniki's twin city.

Once, as my teacher was angry I didn't have clean papers. I was not the guy who causes ruckus.

i didn't belong to a clique..unless you counted myself. i didn't have friends. and if i had ppl who pretended to be my friends, it never last very long. i was a lonely person ....alone with myself......school was always a sad place...although not as bad as home if you get my drift.

My grade only has 50 people in it so there is a certain lack of cliques. There is more of a majority of people who get along versus the minority who don't get along so well the the rest of the grade. I mainly hang out with a few good friends but we get along fairly well with the jock, nerd, prep, people from the outcast group but that are cool, and the sadly addicted to video games groups. So pretty well the majority of the grade except for some of the outcast type people.

I was at the intersection of the following cliques:

1. computer hackers
2. scientists
3. D&D players
4. Chess and bridge players
5. Badminton players
6. Chinese

The group consisted of only me

I guess I was closest to the intellectuals.

Although I probably belong more to the loser clique

I had a bit of stoner in me as well. Stoner is an 80's thing. You kids may not have neard of that one .

The D&D clique.

My group was a small one which was equally anchored on wargames / D&D / other RP games and sports. I was also a tangential member of the brain clique. I'm still friends with those guys btw, even 25 years after graduation with most of us living out west now.

Didn't you say you had sex some large number of times within a 24 hour period? You had to have talked to someone to do that.

Bearing in mind i go to an all girls school......no. Talking to strangers I have no problem with, the ***** im 'educated' with are a different matter altogether

yes I am familiar with the operation of a bong. Although I preferred pipes or joints. Actually I preferred joints over pipes as well. But I never did smoke that much. But my best friend was a major stoner. So I have been known to participate at times. But we lived fairly far apart, so it wasn't a daily thing for me.

The rest of my time in high school I spent working (I had an inventory service job) and concentrating on doing well in school. Not sure why. My good grades in high school are meaningless now. I just needed the challenge. But really, high school wasn't all that challenging.
