I had only one friend, and was really shy after years of getting picked on. I assumed that everyone hated me, even strangers, and that didn't really help. I was known for drawing a lot and heard I was voted "most artistic" in the senior yearbook, so whatevs.

I was very much the opposite of who I am now, as I'm much more outgoing once I was away from those same people all the time. People who know me now find it hard to believe when I tell them about how high school went for me. If I had to go back in time I would relive those years very differently. :C

If memory serves me correctly, I was sort of a High School Everyman way back then.

I hung out with whomever I wanted whenever I preferred and I was interested in most of the school groups (except the sports teams but they kept to themselves anyways). If you wanted to find me back then I could be hanging out with the school nerds who stay on the straight and narrow and fantasize about life will be like once they were in college.
On the other hand, I could be hanging out with the resident school drug dealer and all of his gamer friends. They were a little abrasive but, once they got used to you, they were a lot of fun to talk with.
On the other other hand, I could be hanging out with the Japanese club girls. They liked me well enough because I was always interested in whatever subbed Anime they happened to be watching and they liked trying to convince me that subs were better than dubs. Quite the odd bunch, they were, but one of them paid for my Otacon ticket so I have no complaints.
Finally, if all else failed you would find me with my fellow Marching Band or chatting up the drama class girls.

I never really go picked on (our Marching band was trained like a small musical military so we all ended up pretty tough) and there was only one person in school who hated my guts but he was a racist with severe halitosis so it was no big deal to me; he probably hated everybody.

If I have one regret it's that I never quite understood girls until I got into college. Still, this does not mean that High School was awesome. In comparison to the rest of my life, high school was a boring, stressful prison.

Angsty jock? Closet nerd? Intellectual hidden deep within the looming bulk of a defensive tackle?

Hmm... does it include 6th form now?

In secondary school I was more quiet and shy and generally still nerdy as I am now, I got picked on sometimes but not much really. I was still kinda weird, however now that I am in 6th form I have been way more open and social and have released my weird, crazy inner self. I'm generally now considered the crazy, weird, nerdy guy who can actually be funny sometimes.

The invisible kid that hung out with the emo-crowd, AND the happy guy that was depressed.

Strangely enough, I could hang out with all other "Roles" or "Groups" All from the nerdy too the sports-freaks. I find this weird, since I wasn't THAT loveable o_O

That daydreaming lunatic who spoke little and NEVER handed in his homework. All I did in class most of the time was sit drawing in my book or gazing out of the window dreaming I was somewhere else. I had a few "friends" but they didn't really choose to be with me, I stalked them and they got used to it. Bullies had quite a hard time figuring me out.

The entertainment
The witless idiot (in how I act)
The exceptionally smart guy who consistently kicks everyone's ass in tests
The beta
The perpetual virgin nerd
The cynic
The shut-in
The overtly nice guy who tries to befriend everyone
The little guy (I was a year younger than the rest of my grade and was a late bloomer so even when I got taller than everyone and my voice got super deep and manly in the last year the stigma stuck)

It was a small high school, I was filling a lot of the stereotypical roles.

I also want to acknowledge that I got the most uptight teachers in the school to loosen up because I'm just that great of a guy. They hated me for the duration of year 11 and they weren't subtle about it because they knew I could take it but dammit, I broke them in year 12.

Hmmm, I went to Thurston a 5A school, big class.

I lettered in Track, took the weights classes, and was 6'3" 185 so Jock,
Involved in theater and took the acting classes so Thespian,
AP science and chemisty, college writing, computer programing, and Calculus so Nerd,
I slept in class so Slacker,
Wore a black leather trench coat and spoke German... yeah yeah I look like Neo (Fuck Off)
Had a GF all through HS and had sex all the time so One Lucky SOB.

I was simultaneously acknowledged and ignored by my entire class, few really knew me, no one particularly liked me, but no one hated me. I probably alienated myself more than anything, my GF went to our rival school and I hung out with her and her friends outside of school so I made no effort to get to really know my peers, but I was always friendly when confronted by them for whatever reason.

I'd want to do thing differently if I had to do it again but I'd probably just sleep in class more and get my GF on birth control sooner (sex is so much better bareback)...

Well, back before I went on to do my A-Levels, I was the badass of the top-end Maths class. Late to lesson, no homework, I was one tough piece of shit.

Other than that, I didn't really appear on the radar a whole lot. I played in a band at our school year's leaver's day, but that was about it.

Now I'm in Sixth Form, I appear on the radar even less. All my outgoing friends go out every day and smoke weed or just hang around with the wrong type of people, and since I don't really like either of those activities (nothing wrong with smoking weed in my eyes, it just seems to be a common trend that does who do smoke regularly, do worse in school), I stay inside more.

I was the ghost of my school.

If I wanted people to know I was there, then I would make sure that they knew I was there. If I didn't want to be there, I would pretty much fade into the crowd. It was because of this standing in the so-called hierarchy that I was able to listen in on pretty much anything that anyone says. Oh so many secrets.

Well, I was the know-it-all for quite a while.
Until my last 18months before uni where I kidna went off the rails, and almost didn't get into uni...

Buuut for 4 years prior to, and during that time, I was the school magician. :p

In our end of 6th Form speech my headmaster mentioned the number of times he'd run out of his office because he thought there was a fight going on, and he'd get to the centre to find me doing tricks "On some of the oddest and roughest kids in this fine school"

Ahhh good times :)

I'm not sure what my label was. I only socialized at school, I spoke too loud, I didn't succumb to peer pressure and was openly proud of it, I was abysmally bad at getting girls to go out with me, and I actively participated in my classes.

It started off as the 'nerd'. But after a couple of years everyone just fell out of their stereotypes. We were all just...students. Sure, there were hot ones, sporty ones, smart ones. But we didn't identify them as that.
This, basically.

Started out being intensely geeky. I'm still a fan of all that stuff, but I've gained the ability to gel with practically any group of people.

A lot of people are inexplicably intimidated by me, despite the fact I'm one of the smallest in the year. I suppose this may come down to the fact that I have a shotgun and hunt (I'm from the countryside, whereas many in my A level college are from the suburbs/urban area) the fact that I've had several near death experiences including a stabbing, the fact I can sword fight, and improvise weapons from practically anything. It's probably also contributed to by the fact that I've confessed to a couple of people that I'm a diagnosed sociopath (albeit a very well rounded, good natured one) and possess all the skills that comes with. Oh, and instead of other children, I mainly grew up among the moor's pack of gun dogs.

I have a colourful past, and I love it.

Aside from occasionally being freaked out by me, everyone does like me, because I make them laugh with wit.

Well I was the guy who always annoyed the fuck out of most people but still got on really well with just about everyone.
I always knew just how to push someones buttons and loved to watch them go absolutly crazy.
I got punched in the face quite a bit but it was always worth it.

Currently going through the nightmarish British school System, I'm mostly described as a few things:
The outcast (Most People)
The lunatic (My mates)
The now-it-all (Mainly by people that I met only once)

I guess its the facade you set up. Example: My facade of Intelligence and Madness that disguised my disgust and hatred. Yay!

7-8: Lunatic
8(again)-10: A guy who was just tired of being in school and wanted to study in college
11: Same thing, but now being bullied.

It didn't helped I was the only one who listened rock on a daily basis (yes, sometimes you're just THE only one, and it's not pretty).
