High School Standings, where were you?

[Jaguar]

I moved to normal sometime around 8th grade. Before then I was a nerd who didn't get picked on, largely because my best friend was 6'4" and 230 pounds at the age of 14, but also because my school was small.

I do have one regret from high school and that was I never got with a particular girl.

I reckon that's a major problem with the nerd/geek group.

Even if you knew she was interested in you, it'd very hard for you to make the first move due to lack of courage (or whatever you call it).

My problem with junior high was failing to get with a particular girl. And it wasn't for lack of trying either.

The only comfort I get is that in the 10 years I was trying to get with her, nobody else managed it either.

Probably a lesbian.

I thought of that. She did spend an unusual amount of time with one other particular girl (very pretty as well), and nobody ever got far with her either.

If they were attracted to each other, I don't blame them.

Hey, you weren't a nerd

I'll say I was normal, because I don't fit anywhere else. It was strange, I was a nerdy type, but also friends with some of the more popular kids in school, mostly because I was funny. So I was never bullied and after elementary school was hardly teased (I took it too well), but wasn't "left alone" either. So I was in a strange area.... perhaps because I was also into sports.

And Apoc is such a *****. He's the guy that had a bad time in school and turned to the internet and people helped him through it, listened to him, talked to him and then he became a well adjusted member of HS society. Then others come in the same situation he was in and does he help them like others helped him? NO... he mocks them! Because he has this utterly insane view that he crawled out of it himself and didn't break down to strangers on the internet.

It's more insensitive than asking Apoc how his relationship with his 'loving' parents are going.

I was "The Smart Kid," but no, I was not a nerd.

I never did anything just for fun. It was largely about someone else just being stupid somehow and me reacting.

Well aren't you a prime candidate for Columbine'ing.

I didn't turn to the internet for help with relationships in school. That was a rather minor problem to me at the time I did ask for help and that was only for my parents. In fact, I'd tell people on the internet things were fairly good at school just because I didn't want people to know about it since I kept to myself. Heck, even up until it got really bad I would even acted like I had a good relationship with my parents.

I was a bit of everything. In the middle of the food chain pretty much. At school I hung out with nerds/retards and some popular folks too. I was on the football team. I picked on people, and I got picked on. (though less in high school than middle of course)

While not entirely popular, I was definitely known and respected.

And one year I was dating this hot blond, metal chick, and while we weren't very touchy-feely, I think we rated as a known couple. Plus I ran for class president, and in all my classes I was able to successfully pull off (at least I think I did) the smart guy who isn't nerdy.

So its a toss up. I'd eat lunch with the special ed kids, take classes with the preps, and play football with the jocks.

I loved high school. The social aspects, not the teaching/"instructional" aspects of it.

I'm sure the people who bullied me thought the same.

You must not have done it enough to get your point across.

Well, duh. I seriously doubt you can get the point across with violence to a guy who doesn't get it after being kicked to the ground and then kicked each time he tries to rise till he's too sore to get to his feet without help.
