Poll: What "group" were you part of in High School?

doremi29

So, high school was a loooong time ago for some of us (longer for some of us than others!), but what group/clique were you in?   I didn't make it clicky because I'm sure I'd forget a ton of different "categories" there might be.

I was not super popular, but friendly with most everyone.  I was a music student and close with many of the musical kids, but not an overly huge music nerd.  I had a great group of guy and girl friends that all hung out together often.  The guys were the smart jocks, not the popular jocks.  We are super responsible kids- so much so that our parents would let us do guy/girl sleep overs in our later high school years!  I'm soooooo not letting Mason do that :-)

Band geek, loner - most people didn't realize how awesome I was until our senior year.  That's when the popular crowd included me more in school functions and activities.  I never went to any parties and ran around with kids from other schools.

I was highly made fun of, most kids couldn't accept my bubbily and fun personality and classified it as "weird".

I went to a small high school (around 400 students total).  I was a cheerleader and hung out with the sports/popular crowd -- but I think I was really nice to everyone.  I had friends in all the cliques.  I guess it's easier to do that when there isn't that many kids around.

Cheerleading/ Varsity Sports, ASB, AP group. We ran everything and were well liked. The school let us do whatever we wanted because we were headed to ivy leagues/ better colleges.

I was part of the kinda-punky-but-not-overly-so crowd. I was also a dancer and had my dancer friends (ballet & jazz) and was in the color guard. I got along with everyone but wasn't a super popular person.

Ugh- i try to forget highschool, they were the worst years of my life! I was a loner and extremely shy. I probably had a total of 5 friends the entire 4 years of highschool. I prefer to remember middle school.

I was in Color Guard my first two years of high school .. Which pretty much plopped me into the category of giant nerd. The second two years I hung out with all of the Color Guard girls so that still plopped me into the category of giant nerd haha. I see people now that I went to high school with and most of them can't remember me ... Needless to say, I am still a giant nerd, just don't look quite as much like one

Mrsmaybebaby

I didn't really belong to A group...I hung out with pretty much everybody. I was in band (drum line) and played 3 sports. My boyfriend (husband now) went to our rival highschool and I hung out with his friends so I had many many groups of friends.

I think its important to have friends in many circles, we had no bullying or that crap and I think it's b/c we were all friends who went to a small high school in the back country woods!

I was in the popular geek crowd....

oh wait, those don't exist

I was too smart for the jocks, even though I played volleyball.  Or maybe my hair was too frizzy (if only the chi had existed back then)....

Most of my friends in hs came from choir

But I was a social butterfly in college (right about the time I got my chi, did I mention I had frizzy hair? lol))

I was a bad girl....Partied every weekend, smoked with a bunch of girls and guys on lunch breaks, skipped school some days, and got in a lot of trouble. Our group of people were together all - the - time. We called each other a family and did everything together. It was fun, but I made a lot of stupid choices and wish I could go back and be a different, better person. I don't talk to any of those people now and we've all gone our separate ways.

I went to a smallish rural highschool that didn't have any serious cliques. There were different groups but everyone knew each other and got along reasonably well for the most part. I had one close girlfriend and we hung out between the goofy nerdy bunch and the popular drinking crowd for the most part depending on what we in the mood for doing.

darlingcoley

I was in the band.  In fact, I was band captain senior year...ouch :P

Qmommy

I don't really know... I guess I was part of the goody-goody crowd.  I played waterpolo, swam, and was involved in drama.  I wasn't an A+ student but got all my work done.  hmmmm... maybe I was more part of the teacher's pet group.  I was a good girl.  

Then I went to college and that all changed.  hehe 

stayathomedaddy

I was kind of a jack of all trades.

I didn't play music but I was friends with a lot of people in band. I was in the baseball class (though not on the team) so I had a lot of friends on the team, and I had friends from the track team. I was also in debate so I had friends from there, as well as student council. I wasn't in the big, rich crowd but I took a bunch of classes with them so we were kind of friends.

I guess I was the kid that people knew of but wasn't really POPULAR popular. Hope that makes sense.

I hated high school...and I mean LOATHED it.  I was teased mercilessly and it scarred me deeply.  I was a huge nerd and adopted other un-cool personas (i.e., went goth for a while, then became one of those girls who would go to concerts and hang out with older guys).  I had maybe one or two friends during my first two years of HS, then junior and senior year, things got better and I made more friends.  I guess by that time, people grew up and realized it was OK to be in the AP classes.

This exactly! I was a cheerleader played volleyball and softball year round.  My class had a total of 58 ppl so we all got along great which made high school alot of fun.

I was in the smart/wholesome kids group. I was in band, drama, national honor society, and played the "non-cool" sports (field hockey and track). I got picked on a lot by mostly other girls in the popular crowd, (although there were a few guys who loved to tell me how ugly I was), but I also had a ton of awesome and really close girlfriends in my own group. I am still really close with some of them today.

I would've befriended you! I was friends with everybody, I just hung out mainly with the ones who liked to party on the weekends lol. I never disliked anyone though and was not judgemental. I actually keep in touch more with the ones who didn't have many friends than the ones I hung out with the most. Those are some good friends too! I hate bullies...

I was part of a the "prep clique."  We were in the AP classes, went to good colleges, the teachers loved us but the other kids thought we were snobby. At my school the cheerleaders all had kids and were not cool.  My friends and I played tennins and soccer.

Sounds like me!  I was the good girl too.  Except I played field hockey, lacrosse and was on student government and did our French exchange program most of senior year.  I stayed out of trouble, left parties when drugs were around and drove others when they were drunk.  My father never even bothered to give me a curfew because I was good.  Then came college!!!

nopegoat

I was one of those that talked with everyone but only really hung out and did things with a small group of my really close friends. I was also a workaholic so my last two years of high school were spent literally being a manager of a grocery store. 

KristenLB

well, i was in band but at my school we werent considered nerds. i had friends in about every clique and nice to just about everyone. then my junior year and senior year i started to go to parties, then at least 3 people from each clique would come hang out so we were a mix of people.

the guys i hung out with were either 'punk' or 'country' (since i live in tennesee) and the girls were all kinds.

You and I could have been the same person, except the coed sleepovers. I was concert master of my orchestra, which pretty much made me the orchestra dweeb leader, but then I dated the football teams MVP. I was well rounded.

CocoP2008

I like to refer to my group of friends in high school as the "we'll take anyone" group. We seemed to have all the people that didn't fit into any of the other cliques, KWIM?

I only had 58 people in my graduating class. I guess everyone got along for the most part. I was in the more eccentric group I guess. We were the ones who were outcast from everyone else. 

DMCinderella

I was part of the 'i don't have a group' group. I wasn't popular, a cheerleader, a jock, band nerd, smart, etc, etc, etc. I chilled with the other 'I'm so normal people don't even realize I exist' group.

MrsBalletStar05

Truthfully, I was a floater, but I think people would most remember or associate me with the bank geeks/drama nerds/choir people group. 

I was also on the outskirts of the gothic/emo crowd as well as the cheerleaders.  Yup, I was that diverse, LOL. 

VABride2008

I got along with everyone for the most part.  I mostly hung out with athletes since I did cheerleading, competition squad, volleyball and track.  I was cheer captain and dated one of the football players but I wasn't your typical stuck up snob. I was really into my horticulture program and did a lot of functions supporting that.  Most of my teachers liked me, with the exception of my Spanish teacher.  I was a goody-goody in class, but I partied a lot on weekends and did some crazy stuff with my friends.

Same hear- cheerleading & softball. I graduated with 32 kids!

klcl8981

I wasn't a band geek, but people knew I played piano and guitar.

I wasn't an athlete, but I 'played' softball (sat on the bench), and did stats for girls varsity basketball. So I knew the older athletic/preppy girls, but didn't fit in there either.

I wasn't a straight A student, so I wasn't a nerd.

I wasn't preppy, but my entire group of girlfriends were. And the guys were all preppy jocks, and I was friends with them too. However, I was always just the 'different' one.

I had friends who were gothic/weird, and hung out with them because they were my neighbors.

I had friends who were lesbians, and was once mistaken for homosexual.

I was the kind of the quiet, observant kid who when she spoke up was mostly a sarcastic ***. Some thought it was funny, others really just hated me. They were annoying anyway, so I didn't care.

And I wasn't categorized with the ghetto kids either. Since I'm as white as they come, and don't enjoy rap or care for the style.

I have no idea what label I'd give myself in high school. I wonder what everybody else would have labeled me. Lol... I always just heard 'different', but I knew everyone. (Small high school, 400 kids total).

Let's see...

I was a Varsity cheerleader who dated a football player (who is now DH). I was a good student and very friendly. But because I was a cheerleader everyone passed judgement. Until my senior year, and a lot of those people got to know me more and changed their mind.

ttimmerman

I was very stuck-up and cliquey and really judged those that I considered "less" than me. My friends and I were popular and rich, and we didn't like anyone who wasn't.

 

Ha! Kidding, kidding. I just thought it was funny that so many people said how they got along with everyone and everyone liked them - we needed to spice it up a bit!

Anyway...as for me, I was a smart kid in early high school and then started running with the party crowd in late high school. No drugs (for me), just stupid drinking escapades.

I wonder if we all think we're a lot more likeable than we really we're/are?!?!?! :-)

tessab2515

I feel funny saying it, but I guess I was part of the popular crowd. I was in tennis and dance line. We came off as good kids but would party on the weekends. I'm still best friends with all of my high school friends. I'm maybe one of the few that miss it!
