What were you like in high school and how do you differ now? (This will be a memory jog for some members ) I was quiet and shy in high school, straight A student, never procrastinated, bed by 9:30, church on Sunday student. Aka a good two shoes. Now I'm still quiet, but not shy, former C+ student (B+ in my Engineering classes!), bed by 12:30...ish...maybe, not religious.

ha... I was naive, a procrastinator, 85 average, loved playing soccer and track, and came out of my shell once the braces were taken off.

I guess you would describe me as the all american boy in highschool Played 3 sports, Football, Hockey, Lacrosse, and also swam on the YMCA team Graduated 18th in my class, and was rarely in trouble. Teachers liked me, class mates liked me, I was friends with several different groups. I wasn't home coming king, nor was I ever the super sports star, but I was just kinda well rounded. I'm not necessarily different now, but I've grown up quite a bit from the prankster and jerk I used to be.

I played two sports, baseball and bowling, and didn't star on either, though I won championships in both. I was known as the smart geeky kid pretty much. I coasted through both HS and college not having the effort to try and be valedectorian or anything like that. I captained both the Science Olympiad team (3 years) and the Math League team (1 year) and made all-county for Math League twice.

I got A's in every class in high school without trying at all. That's how it's always been for me. I put in no effort whatsoever. School bores me because it's too easy. Oh well. I was voted the quietest in my graduating class (of not that many lol), as well as the most sarcastic. That right there should tell you something. Academically, my study halls were not my own because I spent them helping others with math homework; I had an enormous reputation for being at the top of my class, along with two other girls. The whole school looked up to us, and it was really, really weird. I don't think that academic achievement should be the focus; learning is, and I wasn't learning anything in school because it was things I already knew from reading and stuff, educating myself, soooo... yeah. I won all kinds of stupid awards, though. I was told by the different English teachers I had that I should be a writer someday, which is something I've been told since I was about five, beginning with my parents. Yeah, OK, people. I didn't see myself as being much better at English than anything else, though; I was good at everything equally. I played basketball my sophomore and junior years due to peer pressure and enjoyed the camaraderie of being on a team very much but disliked it, really. I'm not an athletic person. I had the nickname J-Dog. Nobody called me by my actual name. I don't know. I was typically pretty quiet, but at the same time I was willing to jump in at any time. I never raised my hand in class. Socially, I never fit anywhere. There were all these little groups in my class and in others due to necessity; I mean, any time you get a group larger than three people, there are going to be subgroups. I never fit into any of them. I was never invited to anything other than the traditional class parties at the beginning of Christmas break and summer, which everyone in the class was invited to. People would discuss plans in front of me and not invite me. I didn't connect with anyone at all, but that's something that has always been that way and always will be that way. My class was very united and there was a good sense of fidelity that existed, but still, I knew that I didn't actually have any friends there, while most others did; they were just kids I went to school with every day. I would just mirror the girls around me and try to fit in, but I wasn't really anything like them. I was less awkward than I was in junior high, though, when I was homeschooled and just went to youth group... I didn't even do that then, and all I got from kids then were strange looks when I tried to bring up conversation topics (that were about God and why we're here and why laughter exists and how people really are and how they deceive themselves, etc. not things people care about when they're 11-13; all the girls my age wanted to talk about were boys and music and TV shows, and I've never cared about any of that). I got better at that in high school and learned to be fake, I guess you could say, but I still didn't fit in even with the fake persona, and the person everybody knew wasn't really me. It was very lonely. It still is. The good thing about my high school, at least at first, was that gossip didn't really exist, though. I wasn't exposed to that until college, because, again, I was homeschooled, so when I was younger I never had to put up with cruelty from other kids outside the normal stuff that happens between siblings and cousins that everybody laughs at down the road. I'm sure that I would have been bullied had I attended regular school. Absolutely positive of it. Ummm. Let's see... Oh, I was known for being formidable in debates. Nobody wanted to cross me there. Yeah, that's about it.

I was a band geek, but not really. I had my real close friends I made in band and since our band was a nationally recognized program it wasn't so bad being in it or being the best thing our school had. I was a lazy procrastinating person in High School, but still graduated with a very good GPA and such. I just never put the effort to be a Junior Marshall or top in my class, even though I could have easily been top 25 or so in my class with a bit more effort. I was never too shy, I made friends real easy and knew a lot of people. I was only really shy towards or around the girls I liked, but not the really hot girls that everyone wanted and such. Didn't play sports because band took up all my time, and I never wanted to play the sports offered at my school anyways. If they had hockey or something it would have been different then. I'm not too much different than I was. I know I need to stop procrastinating and getting my work done on time and not late if I want to succeed and pass. I don't put myself to talk to some of the people in my classes nor do I care. If I find someone I would like to talk to, I will talk to them.

I was a solid A- student overall gpa of 91.7, probably could have been higher but after middle school i focused too much on swimming, having fun, and doing what was necessary to get an A and go on. As an athlete I was actually respected by the other jocks, our school was weird. the smart people where the majority and the cool ones, and most of the athletes were also smart. Though i digress, i was an all state athlete, had the school record until a seventh grader beat my time by a second, though i'm made peace with the matter, he's a good kid. I'd say i was shy even though people would tend to disagree as i would talk to a variety of people. College still shy, got a little better with doing the work, the GPA pretty much stayed the same. I kind of screwed myself with a couple classes, pissing off the teacher in the pointless writing class, and not trying as hard as i should have in physio psyche. I should have also listened to myself instead of my advisor who told me to take 3 300 level psychology classes with organic chemistry and swimming. Now i'm still a dork, still try to keep my brain active. I've probably delved deep into a sports sense trying to research all i can and losing focus on some of the goals in life, but i'm still surviving, and pushing to get into medical school. I'd say i'm still shy. if i think of more i'll add.

I still spend 175+ days a year in high school, as a teacher. So I guess I'm still the same as I was in high school since I'm still there.

I was a loner, who people perpetually thought was the new kid in school right up until I graduated. Spiky hair, 70's porno sideburns, Hawaiian shirts, baggy khakis. I killed every test and exam I came upon, but I was lazy regarding homework so I fucked myself out of a good school. Now I'm a huge sports fan and stats nerd, a raging metalhead and growing into a little bit of a music aficionado.

Post subject:	Re: The High School Thread
I was kind of a floater...my older brother was in the "popular crowd", and we are only two years apart, so I had friends from that crowd, although I myself was more along the lines of the "artsy crowd". I've always been pretty reserved, it's just in my nature. I wasn't the type who liked to be the center of attention, like a class clown or something...but I did enjoy participating in class discussions. I was an A and B grade student, mostly Bs. I stayed up way too late, and I missed a lot of school. Being in college, that hasn't changed one bit haha. It's a little worse now, as I'm sure you could imagine. High school was alright, when I was a junior I had an epiphany and realized that none of the petty high school bullshit is going to matter an iota once I graduate. After that, I really gained a lot more confidence in myself and I just kind of went with the flow of things. By the time I was a senior I only took 5 classes because my credits were all caught up, so it was an easy year for me. I was just so ready to graduate and move onto the next chapter in my life. I never really got caught up in "high school stuff"...like boyfriends or prom or any of that stuff. I did go to prom, but I took my best friend as my date and bought my dress like less than a week before the dance. I just didn't really care about it that much. I still talk to several people from high school. I'm still as close with my two best friends as I was in high school and I keep in contact with a lot of my other friends. I'm just so happy that part of my life is over now. Sometimes I look back and I just shake my head and say, "What the HELL was I thinking?" But that's a part of growing up...and as awkward and embarrassing as they may be, those memories still put a smile on my face.

I was definitely a loner. I had friends, but I really preferred to do my own thing most of the time. I guess I don't have too much to judge it on though because I said 'eff this' and dropped out in 10th grade. But y'know, it worked out.

I had very few friends, not the most popular kid, one of three kids over 6 foot tall, bad temper. Even though I wasn't very popular not very many kids mess with me and those who dared to try found out quickly not to mess with me. Now, very few friends, life kind of does that for you. Very popular amongst my co-worker. Still one of the tallest in most rooms I go into. Even tempered, but folks still don't mess with me. Most people treat me like a kid brother or older brother and that's kind of cool.

I'm glad I'm out of High School. I can't stand the stupid drama and bullshit of it all and the students. It's like people have a problem with you they don't go and tell you. You got a problem with me tell me, don't talk shit behind my back to everyone I know also. It's still the same wherever though. People will talk shit behind your back and not to your face, or they'll do it over Facebook when they have every option to block/delete/ignore you out there, yet they choose to do none of it.

Haha, yeah, it's really amusing in a sad way that that's a problem now, in college, when it never was at my high school. I'm not even popular AT ALL here, but people have still talked about me, apparently, according to a couple friends... people that don't even know my name, just want to know certain things about me. I don't understand it. It's bizarre. Whenever there is drama, I never have any idea what's going on. And I don't want to know.
